My wife used to own a Chrysler PT Cruiser. That car had the worst combination of engine, transmission, and transmission shift points that I have ever seen. As a result, it got terrible gas mileage. I was only able to get 24 MPG on the highway at 55-60 MPH while driving for mileage.
I especially hated the feature where, slowing for an uphill turn, it would stay in third gear with not enough torque to accelerate, then downshift to first with a jerk. The correct gear would have been second gear.
