  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.
