OT: PT Cruiser

My buddy bought one of the first ones. He hated it. I suspect most of the problems he had was due to the way his (ex)wife drove it. They got bad mileage and bad wear out of the brake pads and rotors. I drove it a few times, and had a rental for a week. I like them. The NA is a little weak, but depends on what you looking for. If I had to have the speed I'd opt for the SRT4 Neon.

My fiancee is looking for new (to her) car. She's seriously
considering a 2001-2003 or so PT Cruiser. My question for the list
is, does anyone here have experience with one? Any major mechanical
defects pop up in the last couple of years? Basically, is it
reliable? We are just out of college and have little time/money to be
fixing cars.
Dak content: My '04 is running great, minus the exceptional lack of
accelaration.
