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.

• Distinctive styling inside and out, spacious cabin with multiconfigurable rear seats, smooth ride, spirited acceleration on turbo models, reasonable pricing.

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

  great affordable car - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By urfisdan - December 24 - 10:00 am

  I now own two, a 2002 and my new one. Im aware of the recall, and I admire Chrysler for recalling a half million cars with only 9 reported cases of the problem! How many would Ford/GM wait for? anyway, drove to Texas on cruise 75-85 all the way, good ride, good gas, about 21 mpg on hwy. I dont need a turbo, cars plenty responsive. Its a luxury car for a fair price

  fun car-some design issues - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By puddlejumper04 - June 24 - 4:16 am

  for a small car with a short nose one of the worst cars to make a u turn with,needs a city block!!! I had engine mounts replaced at 38,00 now at 60,000 find out they are gone again. $400.00. Had some leaks in my d/w took it to the dealer found out leaking from rack and pinon which had to be replaced and solenoid which had to be replaced. I had the extended warranty as my car only came with 3/36. Cost me 300.00 with deductive,front end alignment and power steering flush. Trouble with the a/c 2x the warranty covered less deductible. The car had 6,000 miles on it and had never been titled used as a demo? Cheated out of 1 year warranty backdated

  Newbie - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By juanvg - January 10 - 10:00 am

  I just boguth it two weeks ago and I just love it!!! its really fun to drive and comfortable in long trips, I already put 1000 miles on it first week just trying to enjoy it and test it too. Only one complain, and want to hear from somebody else with the same problem. the Fuel economy is really bad, not a bit close to the window sticker, 245 miles per tank on highway, isnt that awful??? that is like 16mpg. incredible, Im planning in take it to the dealer to check on it.

  Swiss Army Knife - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By wayne - January 7 - 7:03 pm

  After test driving a number of vehicles, I ended up purchasing the GT Turbo. The GT turbo has all the attributes that you find in a more expensive car, but most of all it provides for great flexibility. You can configure the interior to haul five adults and or items. It is extremely roomy in side, allowing entery into the vehicle ,with out whacking your head into the roof line, which is unlike other Chysler products. Contrary to other writers, I have obtained 20 miles to the gallon in the city, which I think is acceptable, for a 215 horsepowered vehicle.

  Still not Japanese Quality - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Billiso - July 28 - 2:00 am

  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 dougm - July 28 - 2:00 am

  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.

  First new car - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By kissfan32 - July 17 - 5:56 pm

  I had this car only 3 days before it had to go to the shop. Over a six month period it was in the shop 7 times for check engine light. The first 6 months I owned it I had to have a rental car a total of 2 weeks. These cars are very poorly built (in Mexico). Also, there is a lot of road noise. The stereo is barely audible on the highway. I will never buy another Chrysler.

  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.
