   Typical PT Cruiser. I contemplated one of those for my service vehicle   
   back in 07...glad I did the research and went a different route.

   If you want such a ride, take a look at the 2000 and newer Isuzu Rodeo.   
   It's a much sturdier vehicle than the Honda (although the first few years   
   were Honda badged Rodeos), Toyota and Nissan. Some of the Rodeos have a   
   wiring problem, but that's an easy fix. I liked mine and after seeing it   
   from the ground on a hoist I was impressed with the over build. It was   
   like looking at a heavy duty truck. Buy the V6, not the 4 banger. They use   
   a GM sealed (no dipstick) AT w/OD and GM's 6 hole-pattern 16" aluminum   
   wheels. Mine averaged 22mpg city/highway driving. And the only problem I   
   had with it was an EGR valve that required cleaning too often for my book.
