This Year's Model Updates:

For 2004, a PT Dream Cruiser Series 3 "True Blue" model is available in limited production. Also, a 180-horsepower turbocharged engine will be available on the Limited and Touring Edition models. Additionally, a Chrome Accent Group is available for the Limited that includes various exterior accents (including a chrome fuel door), as well as metallic-finish pedals and shift knob.

Pros:

Cons:
  • Acceleration can be sluggish with base engine, awkward seating position for shorter drivers, unimpressive fuel economy.

  • My rating suprised me. - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    This car is great when it comes to comfort. The gas mileage matches my 2002 manual transmission Ford Ranger. The cruise control could be in a better position. Transmission is a little jerky between 0-20. Front wheel drives are usually like that with 4 cylinders wound tight. When matched to a manual transmission, they will do that. Great room for passengers and storage. Smooth and quiet ride. Great handling on 15 inch rims. Factory sound system stinks.

  • WEEKEND CRUISER - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    I USUALLY ONLY DRIVE IT ON WEEKENDS (ABOUT 125 MILES EACH) BUT ITS A LOT OF FUN AND I GET COMPLIMENTS ALL THE TIME.INTERIOR ROOM IS LESS THAN MY 91 ASTRO EXT BUT STILL BIG ENOUGH FOR A FEW FRIENDS TO GO CRUISE THE SHORE IN. I DIDNT CARE MUCH FOR THE WHIMPY STEREO, BUT I TOOK CARE OF THAT TWO WEEKS AFTER I GOT THE CAR.

  • 2004 PT Cruiser...Really Fun To Drive - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    What I like most about this vehicle is that its setup is perfect for a sales professional like me who is driving from appointment to appointment all day long. I arrive refreshed and when I need to use it as an office, I have the passinger seat that folds down as a desk plus the shelf at the rear door as well when I have to work outside. Also, it has the pep of a 6 cylinder because of the turbo, but the gas mileage of a 4 cylinder. The styling is refreshing and doesnt look like any other vehicle on the road.

    I liked this car since I first saw it as a concept car at the LA auto show. When it was available I test drove it an decided it was for me.

  • my little put putt - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    fun to drive easy to handdle, except when you have to turn makes only wide turns no sharp turning with car. Too low in the front. I am always hitting bottom with this car. It also is hard getting up a hill even a slight incline can sloww you down a lot.

  • PT Does it all - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    Versatility is great. Can be used to haul larger items with fold down or removable rear seats. Head room is fantastic! I would categorize it as in between a SUV and Mid size. I can put 4 large adults in this car very comfortably! Great stereo! Easy to use cruise control. Economical for every day use!!! Quiet ride - no rattles or shakes! Corners extremely well. Handles excellent in snow with Front wheel drive. Long distance milage 30 MPG. Accelerates strong. No problems to fix!

  • Surprisingly satisfying vehicle - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    Ive had many company and personal vehicles. Chrysler products are usually well engineered but lacking in esthetics and somewhat cheap in the interiors. This car is very comfortable,well made,well fitted,nicely finished, spirited, and a lot of fun to drive all the time. I am quite impressed and recommend it highly.
