    This is the best driving and performing car I have ever owned. It is sooooooooo comfortable. My next car in 2 yrs. will be a limited Edition Turbo. Couldnt afford that this time. If you drive this vehicle, you will be hooked.

    WE bought our PT Cruiser in October of 2000. We have 49000 miles on her. She is a very reliable car. We still get the looks, she is the Teal Metallic that was only available the first year. I was very skeptical about buying a Chrysler product, but driving our Cruiser has changed my mind.

  • Drives like a dream - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    The PT Cruiser drives like a dream. It feels like you are driving and riding in a much more expensive car. There is some road vibration on rough roads but that is the only time the drive and ride are not completely smooth. It drives even smoother than the Sable that I traded in for the PT. As a matter of fact my husband was so jealous of my new PT Cruiser that he went 5 days later and bought him one. Dorothy - Orlando

    I have had this car for only a few months and I really enjoy this cruiser. It is easy to get in and out of and I love the way it looks. A Very cool car! I play music from time to time and it is no problem hauling my gear in it. Plenty of room. A great all around car.

  • Pretty nice little car - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    A good car, strong and reliable. Great around town, and fine on the freeway. The only problem weve had is with the idle when the AC is on, but if you turn the AC off its fine, and we didnt notice this when we first had the car so maybe its the AC.

  • 04 PT Turbo Platinum Series - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    This is my second PT and I cant find any negative aspects to report. My old 2002 PT Limited Edition was great in all areas but power, it was just too gutless and had to be floored to get out of everyones way. Hence the upgrade to my new 2004 Turbo Platinum Series. Stunningly sharp looking, chrome everywhere, luscious leather and suede seats, loaded with all the goodies Id ever want .. and POWER! Chrysler really stepped up to the plate on this series. Bravo!

  • Still not Japanese Quality - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    Fun car to drive. Irritating to have all the minor annoyances. Car came with fan belt squeal that took 4 trips to dealer before they figured out how to shim it. Now have a irritating noise in dash; clock does not keep good time; valve cover needs new seal. Car has 5,000 miles. Really enjoy driving it and using it as a mini SUV. Travels interstates at 75+ comfortably.

  • Things to know about the base model PT - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    I dont know what all the fuss is about the non-turbo being sluggish. Our 5-speed manual will lay rubber off the line. Back seat looked like less leg room than our Neon, but once inside, due to the upright position in which one sits, there is actually plenty of legroom. The upright position also allows for great visability out the front of the car. While waiting for our appointment to have the optional clear coating applied, small scratches have shown up indicating a very thin, non-durable coating of paint. Im writing this for my wife who has never been in love with a car until this one came along.
