  • Best on the Road - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    For a car this size,the way it handles, & comfort, Iam surprised that its cost is so low, but rates with the luxes & even better I treaded in a 99 VW BEETLE, & its the best deal I have ever made. I hardly feel the bumps on the road & when Iam at a stop light, next to someone who likes to blast their radio, I put up my windows, & I do not hear a thing. Thanks to Dick Hannah, I would buy another one from them, if I needed it. Passing other cars on the road, is a breeze. It just seems like you barely touch the gas pedal, & your moving.

    This car is fun to own. Performance is very good although it needs a 5th gear in the auto box. There is almost no road or engine noise at any speed. Reliability so far has been perfect (7500 miles). It rides and handles well and is comfortable inside. Mileage is good for performance - 22 around town and 27 on the Interstate.

  • Love my car - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    Got the Special edition Turbo. Love this car. Comfort is extreme. More fun than is legal. Inferno red color is wild. Chrome package is beautiful. People, especially women, stop me in the parking lot all the time and ask me about my car, how much I like it, and confess they have always wanted one.

  • Even Better the 2nd time around - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    This is my 2nd buy of a PT Cruiser. My first one I loved (2002 Silver Ltd with Manual Transmission). I traded it in after 53,000 miles. After one test drive of the 2004 GT (Auto Stick/Turbo) I was sold on it. The Horse Power boost is incredible & a usable range for everyday driving. Autostick feature allows almost complete clutchless control on wet or snow surfaces or is fun to use when you really want to drive.

  • Ask the man who owns one - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    The car starts well runs well accelerates well. Short wheel base makes the ride on poorly maintained roads is somewhat rigid. Winter driving is good. Trips to northern Michigan are pleasurful,gas mileage 28 to 30. City short drives with air on in is as low as 17mpg. Only poor features , Horn that belongs on a childs peddle car and recessed speedometer shadows does not make reading easy. Would Irecommend the car to others? Yes .

    Gas milage and acceleration could be better. I just cant wait to drive my PT Cruiser since it is so fun to drive. The interior is deceivingly roomy and comfortable. When I shopped for a car, I had no intention to purchase a PT Cruiser. I am extremely glad I checked it out.

  • Gotta love this car! - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    I love this car! Its fast, fun, and comfortable. Plus, its really practical for hauling stuff (thats the story I told my wife, and Im sticking to it). Almost no turbo lag (pulls hard from about 2000 rpm), nice handling with a little body lean in curves, but its a tall vehicle, so I expected that. I also drove the Limited turbo, but liked the seats in the GT much better. Ive had lots of compliments on how nice and how comfortable the interior is. If this car is as reliable as PTs seem to be, it will be my favorite car ever.
