Wheeler Dealers<\/a> host Mike Brewer has revealed the one vehicle he would \u201cnever\u201d work on, with a classic American model fitting the bill. The host of the classic car<\/a> restoration series was asked if there was any cars that he would not work on after suffering bad experiences.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mike quickly admitted he was completely avoiding the Chrysler PT Cruiser, a compact car built by the American marque in the 2000s. The compact MPV is a 5-door hatchback fitted with a 2.4 litre engine and capable of up to 121mph.\u00a0However, the model is better known for its unique styling, with a retro front end unlike anything else seen on the road.\u00a0<\/p>\n

X user @robdawn12 asked Mike<\/a>: \u201cIs there any car you would never touch? Something you’ve nothing but bad experience with?\u201d Mike quickly messaged back with a simple two word response, posting: \u201cPT Cruiser\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s not the first time the Wheeler Dealers presenter has slammed the American car<\/a>, with Mike previously mentioning the model when asked a similar question last year. Speaking in 2025, Mike blasted the car as \u201chideous\u201d and blasted the vehicle as the \u201cworst design ever\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt would be a Chrysler PT Cruiser, convertible, in yellow. That would be my nemesis. That\u2019s my kryptonite. I can’t stand yellow cars and I can’t stand the PT Cruiser and I can’t stand a convertible even more.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are just hideous. Some kid after he took an overdose of Calpol got a crayon and drew the worst design ever. He needs a punch whoever designed it. He does. Sorry if you’ve got one. It’s hideous.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Used car marketplace sites such as AutoTrader<\/a> have Chrysler PT Cruiser models listed online for just over \u00a32,500.\u00a0However, total second-hand costs will depend more on the condition of the vehicle, with some models available for almost \u00a34,500.<\/p>\n

Later Chrysler PT Cruiser models featured a turbocharged engine with better acceleration. The model also underwent a facelift in 2006<\/a>, with these models offering a refreshed and modern interior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wheeler Dealers host Mike Brewer has revealed the one vehicle he would \u201cnever\u201d work on, with a classic…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":412931,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[152982,152980,152981,689,96,152977,152979,152978,152983,391,56,54,55,117774,117776],"class_list":["post-412930","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-chrysler-cars","tag-chrysler-pt-cruiser","tag-chrysler-pt-cruiser-mike-brewer","tag-classic-cars","tag-entertainment","tag-mike-brewer","tag-mike-brewer-tv","tag-mike-brewer-wheeler-dealers","tag-r","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-wheeler-dealers","tag-wheeler-dealers-series"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412930","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=412930"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412930\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/412931"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=412930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=412930"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=412930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
