    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.

  • Will be getting a 2nd Cruiser - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    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!

    I love my car and so do most people who have seen it. I have not encountered any other Platinum models in my area. It is a very fun car and just too cool!

  • This GT High Performance Turbo is HOT - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    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.

  • Even Dad loves it - 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    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.

    I was conserned about the space as I had a Town and Country van. But I couldnt be happier with my PT. I can get all the "STUFF" in it. My PT drives very well, it is quick and reliable in traffic and on the Highway!! We live in the mountains. I was also concerned about the snow and the power. I couldnt be happier. It handles like a sports car and does the snow (ice is another subject) the hills, and curves very well.
