The PT, despite looks, I don't think is top-heavy. It may have the turning circle of the QE II but it corners like a cat with its tail on fire and feels like it sucks to the ground. I often take corners and bends at quite relatively high speeds to other cars, where many of them (the windy ones anyways) would brake.

I think it shares the same basic chassis (raked) as the Neon http://www.vcars.co.uk/used-cars/cardetails.php?t=autotrader&u=82644 which i think has a number of different names in the US.

BTW my use of "basic" above is legitimate :-)
