    Ive owned the Pt Cruiser since Feb of 2001 and I drive it in the summer only and I love to drive it. I have not had any problems as of yet, but I only have 6000 miles on the car. So far so good.

  • PT GT Turbo 2003 - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    So far I have found it to be a very practical,peppy vehicle. I have owned 2 Plymouth mini vans prior to this Cruiser The Turbo kicks in at a lower RPM than I expected. It is full of torque, and drives well with the Gertag five speed transmission.Assembly quality is excellent. Cargo opttions are unlimited.

    Rented this car numerous times and found it to be extremely comfortable and solid. Good gas performance and a slick exterior look.

    The only thing I have found wrong with the GT model is the front end gets out of alignment real easily. Ive asked the dealer and the alignment people what is wrong and they just say that "you must be hitting some railroad tracks or holes in the road" which, obviously, exist on almost ALL roads. I purchased a lifetime front end alignment package for $125.00 which should take care of the cost from now on. I still would recommend the GT model.

  • Best Car I Ever Owned - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    I have wanted a PT Cruiser ever since they came out. I just love this car and would love to own the convertible or the new truck. Its a fun car to drive and the roomiest I have ever owned.

    This is a fun car to drive and with the turbo it will really get going. Two major gripes that I have is one, the blind spots are insane on this vehical and two, the cup holders will only hold a standard size can or bottle. If you drink fountain drinks that have cups that are larger than average like a big gulp you are out of luck. Other than that the car runs and drives great in my opinion. One other thing, if you smoke dont forget to bring your own ash tray, because it is not equipped with one.
