Other Choices:

The Chevrolet HHR was introduced as a 2006 model, and many saw it as a direct competitor to the popular PT Cruiser. (Chrysler has sold well over 1 million PTs since 2001.) The HHR is marginally larger than the PT Cruiser, and it tends to be a better driver because its chassis and powertrain technology is a generation newer than the Chrysler. With the introduction of the high-performance HHR SS, the PT Cruiser has no direct competitor for this model.

    I bought my PT Cruiser Convertible 2008 model from Enterprise Rental Car sales. It had less than 19,000 miles on it and is a great car. I love it. We also have an HHR by Chevrolet as our other car. The HHR is MUCH bigger inside, and gets MUCH better gas mileage. The convertible is fun to drive, but tends to lose traction in the rain, and I am not looking forward to the Indiana winters in this car : (
    I've enjoyed it all summer though!
