  Sporty, fun, and nicely priced - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Barry Gordon - March 23 - 2:00 am

  Ive received dozens of compliments on the sleek looks of the Platinum Editions combination of Graphite Metallic color and chrome trim. The turbo engine is very peppy and the car handles quite nicely. The leather/suede interior is stylish and comfortable. The kids are always anxious to ride in "Dads cool car".

  Try a PT - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Happy Hoosier - March 11 - 10:00 am

  I have been interested in the PTs since they first came out but felt that the visibility would not be good. When we finally were in need of a new car, we decided to give them a look since they were in our price range. We are very happy with our new purchase and thoroughly enjoy it, whether it be just around town or out on the road. There is plenty of room and the versatility is unbelievable!!

  Dependable but uncomfortable - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Donna - February 25 - 2:43 am

  My cruiser is very dependable, it had a little over 10,000 miles when I bought it and 15 months later it has almost 50,000! I like driving it, but the seats have to be the most uncomfortable seats Ive ever experienced. Like a park bench. And it has no guts at all, none. The fuel economy is very poor. Much worse that the sticker said. The fun part of the car is all the extras that you can get. Unfortunately, the resale value is a joke. If you purchase from a dealer, after the 1st year, your upside down & it wont be worth even close to what you owe on it.

  Never Again - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Sheila - February 23 - 12:10 am

  Bought my car used w/low miles. The brakes have always squeaked, had checked twice for the same thing. They say they just squeak. Oil pressure light has come on several times for no apparent reason. Check engine light comes and goes. Couldnt find out why. A/C went out the end of last summer, I live in TX and need air. Now my ignition will not turn either way, so I cant drive the car. Mileage is the same as I got in my Grand Cherokee Laredo, maybe not as good.

  Dream of a Dream Cruiser - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Robert - February 20 - 3:53 pm

  Our Dream 3 Cruiser is the best car Ive ever owned, thats number one out of 62 cars !! This two-tone, turbo, leather interior is quite a car. 25K miles and not one problem of any kind. Mileage in the 26/27 mpg range consistently. And more power than most could appreciate. Perfect car to dress up and is always getting attention whereever we go. Changed tires from the factory originals and what a difference it maeks - now even quieter and faster ! This car is just simply hard to beat regardless !!! Just hope Chrysler doesnt mess it up in its next generation . What a car !!!!!!!!

  My Experience with a USED PTCruiser - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Cruiser Man - February 2 - 2:00 am

  this car had 44,000 original miles on it. we bought it an love it. good design inside and OUT. has much more interior room then you would expect. not bad acceleration for a 4cyl. (not turbocharged) drives good thru snow. could use a bit better gas mileage, but that is a Chrysler problem in MOST models. I had a 93 Chevy Caprice, with a V8, fully loaded. with 4 adults and a trunk full of luggage, we AVERAGED 30+ miles per. why cant Detroit give us THAT MUCH in a small car????

  2004 Turbo - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By BPH - January 14 - 3:13 pm

  A small car I can fit my 63" frame in comfortably! Great room, lots of power with the stage I upgrade. Fun car to drive and just Cruise in. Well built car still really solid after 24,000 miles. Gas mileage is better than I expected based on the weight of the car and what Id heard.

  Our pt cruiser - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By JIM LESPERANCE - December 17 - 4:53 am

  The car has been a huge disappointment for us.The gas mileage is much worse than our ford escape.The seats are like sitting on a rock and they are very uncomfortable.The icing on the cake was when the windshield suddenly cracked while my wife was driving. There were no vehicles on the highway at the time. We took the car to a glass place and were told there were no stone chips and they suggested we take the car to our dealer as chrysler may cover the cost of a $900 windshield.They felt it was a stress crack. The dealer told us the warranty for glass is 20,000 kilometers and we were over that so were out of luck.We have contacted chrysler and are waiting for a response.

  Bought a Friday car! - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By sweetc - October 21 - 5:36 am

  Unfortunately my experience has not been great. Although everything that has been wrong with it is somehow related to the wheels so this could just be a Friday car. Even at the dealership they couldnt understand why the wheel bearings were falling out or the brakes wore prematurely (there was a notch worn through them). I love the style and I love the versatility. Gas mileage isnt great for me average 19-20.
