In my opinion as a car guy I'd say that there are many DJ cars. Both of your choices : Ford T Bird (Im assuming you mean the new overpriced one) and the PT Cruiser are not good cars at all. The way I see it a car buyer has three choices
1. Luxury car: That means euro or high end japanese import car usually sedan but sometimes coupe that is not meant to be driven fast. Examples: Mercedes Benz S430, Volvo V70, Lexus ES 300.
2. Sports car: That means euro or japanese import car meant to go fast and not be luxurious. Note, real fast cars have limited seating/luggage space, very stiff suspension that could make long trips uncomfortable and little or no sound system. Examples: BMW M3 CSL, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Subaru WRX STI/ Forester CrossSports/ Forester STI ST/b, Honda NSX, Nissan 350Z
3. Combination: Euro or Japanese import car meant to go reasonably fast and be luxurious at the same time. These are almost always the way to go unless you are a real hardcore racer or never go fast Examples: any Mercedes Benz AMG, any BMW Motorsports car, Infinity G35 coupe.
Now obviously the cars that I mentioned are very expensive and out of reach for many. However, all is not lost. Nearly any car on the road is fine as long as it is respectable. My definition of respectable is that the car needs to be kept clean inside and out, be in a good state of repair and not be a really garbage make (Geo,Saturn,Kia,Daewoo) or one made by a shady manufacturer (Ford, Chrysler). These cars are often known to have poor quality, reliability, numerous known saftey problems and many more swept under the rug and in general look like junk.
Just my 2cents.
