Just like its warranty the PT Cruiser Convertible is one practical drop-top, a word not usually associated with the genre. I was thoroughly impressed with the car's driving dynamics, in all trim levels, and appreciative of the attention to detail the automaker put into interior quality. I predict another sure winner is in the cards for Chrysler, with what is sure to become Canada's most popular convertible.
