We say There are much better cabriolets about, even if - by some miracle - you're swayed by the PT Cruiser’s odd looks.Performance 2.4-litre petrol delivers 141bhp. Enough, but doesn't knock your socks off. A weary autobox is also available.Emissions 30mpg and 223g/km are as good as it gets, while the autobox dents running costs.Driving Body flex is a predictable problem with the roof off in the PT Cruiser Cabriolet. Ride is firm, but not unpleasant but the weird PT Cruiser drop-top isn’t any fun to drive.Feel The PT Cruiser convertible is OK in the front with the roof down, but blustery in the back.Space Fits in four comfortably.Equipment Chrome wheels, leather seats, cruise control, aircon and CD player as standard. Roof and windows are electric.Price The PT Cruiser Cabriolet is distinctly expensive. Running costs are also poor.Quality The PT Cruiser Cabriolet’s cabin looks cheap, but reliability shouldn’t be an issue.Safety Front and side bags, traction control and ABS as standard on the Chrysler drop-topPros Good kit, looks interesting.Cons Body flex, indifferent drive, costly to buy and run.Alternatives Citroen C3 Pluriel, Daihatsu Copen, MINI One Convertible, Mitsubishi Colt CZC
