I've owned my purchased new 2010 PT Cruiser for a little over 3 years
and 25,000 miles.

Over this time frame I've had:

both front wheel bearings replaced under warranty at 20,000 miles,
it burns about a half quart of oil every 1,500 miles,
the parking brake shoes on one side failed to release,
the satellite radio audio quality is sub par due to low sample rate,
yesterday my wife showed me what at first looked like a nickel size spot
of rust blistering under the paint along the edge of the rear fender
well, on closer inspection looks more like body spot filler that has
blistered up under the paint.

Based on these issues build quality is significantly poorer with this
model year
than with my 2006 Pt Cruiser (totaled) and my 2000 300M.

Are the newer Chrysler's any better or should I look elsewhere in the
future?
