    If only Suzuki would give us a WRC-ized version of the SX4

    For that fact, don't they owe us a new Swift?

    Wait a minute. Not only are you informing me that there is a car for sale in the US that is available with a manual transmission, but there is a manufacturer giving $2000 worth of encouragement to opt for it? All hail...Suzuki???

    @smalleyxb122: I keep trying to justify buying one of these, because they seem like great cars, and fun to drive. Sadly, my Neon still isn't completely dead (and doesn't qualify for cash for clunkers), so I'll hold off.

    The worse thing about these IIHS tests is that any sort of "Poor" rating instantly labels the car dangerous. The PT Cruiser is not dangerous, it's just an ugly, slow, poor-handling, low-technology car. It's less dangerous than that SWB Jeep Wrangler that passed you at 85 mph.


    Does GM still make the Safari/Astro? Because that sucker got an abysmal frontal crash rating. Almost as bad as the Toyota Previa, which was a veritable death trap in a frontal accident (that's a big reason why the Sienna was born). And nobody ever called the Previa the most dangerous car in America.

    Having owned a 2002 PT Cruiser, I can say it was a quite safe car, mostly because it spent so much time in the shop that it kept me from driving it and having an accident.


    In the 5 years I owned it (during which I only put ~45k miles on it), I had the sensor that makes the check engine light work fail, the entire gauge cluster stop working, the transmission controller fail, and the air bag light would come on every time it rained.

    In reply to IIHS: PT Cruiser Most Dangerous New Small Car In America
    Yes I am a bit disappointed in the crash test of the PT Cruiser because I still like it. No, it's not all that fast, nor is it the most economical vehicle being produced. But I like the curves of the body, I really like the old fashion door handles, the rear seats can be removed for more cargo room, and I think it's the best dash in the entire Chrysler lineup. I actually ask for these things when I'm renting a car, because for the same price as a Chevy Aveo, the PT is a little roomier, and a lot more comfortable.


    Speaking of rentals, I would rather have a PT Cruiser than an Aveo (like I stated above), the US Focus, the Caliber, the G6, The Sebring (or Avenger), The Cobalt, or even the base Fusion. These seem to be the only cars available at the price I'm willing to pay for a rental car. I have rented an Elantra (OK) a Spectra (again OK), a Versa (actually my favorite small car), and a Vibe (the damn thing drones on and on).

    I'd rather die driving a PT then be caught alive drive a non-american machine.


    But you know, its not the fault of the consumers who choosing to purchase forign stuff for sending jobs overseas but the evil CEOs and their baby eating pocket padding agendas. at least the guy behind the counter of the coffee shop will now talk to you and your VW.

    I'd buy American...I'm just waiting for them to make something like the Fit, Mazda3, Prius, etc., yet at a reasonable price. Focus, Cobalts, Nitros for the same cost or more just doesn't do it for me.
