Who'd want to pay £425/year in tax to own the thing? It's already cost somebody £1/mile in depreciation alone so far.

I agree that it is a useless vehicle, but although I think it is rubbish, there are still a lot of people who will want to own one. The same thing with OTT vehicles like Mitsubishi Warriors/Animals, the Chavs around here buy them as personal transport, when they have to be the most unsuitable thing around.
It takes all sorts.

Pfft that's nothing! I think first place should go to the BMW X6......

Think about it like this, it is a nearly new convertable for less than £5000, it may well be ugly as sin, but it is cheap.

You forgot the main reason for the cheapness though, unless they have changed it they came with a 3 speed autobox.

Any other 57 plate softtop would be around £15k, so not such a strange choice.

I actually like the look of the PT Cruiser, the 5 door anyway, it is at least original and not a boring eurobox, but the only one worth having is the diesel.

It's entirely impractical too.....

It's a car for pretentious, upper middle class tw4ts to take the kids to school in, and is designed to fit UK standard disabled spaces exactly

I would have to disagree with you on that - ugly as sin - but cant be as bad as a Freelander ! Most expensive mistake of my life !!! Never heard anyone with a good word to say about them

The PT is a good shout. For cars made in last 10 years, I'd nominate the Hyundai Accent, awful car that handles and performs like a boat on dry land, and the Freelander. As a car its not too bad, just so badly made its laughable.

My brother-in-law loved his. He's sold now though, and bought an Alfa.
