Thanks, All the smaller cars are going to look feminine on some level. I have zero worry about that. I test drove the PTC and I was amazed at how well it drove. The space in the back and the way the seats fold give you plenty of space. nitro
Thanks, I live in the city. Parking a midsize car is a challenge let alone one of these things. Even if gas was cheap, I have to tell you that unless you need to have a truck because of your job or you need to haul stuff, imo it is irresponsible to use it as a daily driver because these things guzzle gas and pollute like crazy. That said, I like the truck. nitro
You could consider the mini; is a nice car, perfect for the city and it doesn't depreciate much in value.
Thanks, I like them. Problem is they are pricey! How well a car depreciates is not really an issue because I keep my cars 10+ years. However, I appreciate that they depreciate less for a reason, usually because they last longer nitro

If you keep you cars for 10+ years do not any under circumstnace buy a Chrysler product. I wouldn't own a Chrysler car even if some one gave it to me.
