Overview & Reviews

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.

  a great and fun to drive and own - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Charles Wilson - December 26 - 10:00 am

  Not only did I want this car before it was out, first time I saw it in a magazine, I wanted to own it for the rest of my life. This car will be here for a long time because the design and stlyling appeals to both young and old. Not to mention very affordable.

  Overated and no resale value - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Dwighthp - December 16 - 10:16 am

  I bought this GT June 2004 the sticker was well over $26K absurd for this car! While paying far less it was still way overpriced for a econobox. Resale value is abysmal! I decided to sell the car after 3 months of liking it and the next 6 realizing it was a poor choice. Those who claim not to have engine noise must have the stereo turned up. On the highway Chryslers poor insulation with elevated DB levels and wind noise. Shut the doors tin can sound. Besides the Leather seats interior trim materials are cheap. Engine warning light turned out be a wire upgrade with plugs no factory notice. My suggestion get a Subaru WRX if you want performance and quality in a small car.

  Will be getting a 2nd Cruiser - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By PT Convert - November 3 - 7:40 pm

  Have manual transmission, & has been the best MPG of any 4 cylinder vehicle I have owned - 33 mpg is top, but consistently get 30 mpg. (Keep records at every purchase.) Removed the back seats (takes a minute) & gas mileage went up by aprox. 3 mpg. Actually feels better on road without back seats. Hauled a washer, dishwasher & 8 ft 2x4s in it with no problems (hatch closed). Has more cargo room than Jeeps & Chevy Trackers. No repairs (normal maintenance) or problems. Do my own oil change, & love the access to oil filter and plug. Wish all vehicles were that accessible. Plugs: only use standard, not platinum: these will cause running problems. Love it and want to get 2nd!

  Platnium PT - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Jimmy T. - October 7 - 11:40 pm

  I bought this car because of high gas prices and my Explorer was a gas hog. This car is a blast to drive with the turbo. Nice interior with chrome accents and leather and suede seats. Platinum silver exterior paint looks real nice with chrome wheels. Was surprised with fuel mileage, only gets 21 city. Should do better. Brakes squeak when you first start out but stop after a few stops. Checked brakes and they have no wear, a mystery. But overall a great car for price. Only $9000 with 32,000 miles and loaded.

  This GT High Performance Turbo is HOT - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By HotGT - September 20 - 2:00 am

  I am so thankful that my salesman told me about the GT. It was the only one that they had in the color I wanted and it was hidden on another lot. He took me over and I got to test drive this and I was SOLD. It is so fast and solid. I love the wheels and 17" tires...looks so good.

  bought 1 wish I had not - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By kahuhn - September 15 - 10:00 am

  Car in shop at least 6 times within 5 months. Vibration in steering wheel, pulling to left while driving, pulling to right when braking. Rotors needed replaced at only 6000 mi. car still having same issues,brakes wearing uneven. Research forums before purchasing, seems Chrysler cars/suv/minivans all having similar problems with brakes.

  Even Dad loves it - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Cody - August 14 - 2:53 am

  This has been an awesome car for us. Reliable and safe. Fits all of us nicely. Even I love to take it out without the wife, and have a little fun in town. It is definately a very underestimated performer. I have shocked more than a fair share of Mustangs and import tuners. Im 62" and 235 lbs and I dont feel cramped in the drivers seat. We bought used with 2000 miles on it. It was a lemon law car from Pennsylvania. It was supposed to be some random electrical problem, but none was ever found. This car hasnt so much as hiccuped in the year we have had it. Will buy another Dream Cruiser this year or the next.
