Overview & Reviews

A convertible joins the PT Cruiser lineup for 2005.

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

  I love my PT!!! - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Leigh Ann - March 11 - 4:50 pm

  This is a wonderful car to drive around in!! It is both classy and fun. The folding rear seats provide versatility and the adjustable self is nice to put two layers of groceries on. I would recomend getting the turbo- charged engine, as the base engine is not good for acceleration nor at doing it quietly. At first the gas milage wasntso good, but after the first 2000 miles, I started getting mileage around 23mpg more highway than city. However it is a wonderful car that i love to show off and would definately recomend to anyone!!!

  This is a fun car to dive. It has loads of room. Head room, leg room, front and back seats. All the seats except the drivers fold so you can easly pack long items.

  PT Cruiser Convertible - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By texas lady - January 6 - 1:43 am

  The way the trunk lid opens could be improved. My butt is actually sticking out to the public as I have to bend over to put my things into the trunk. Gas mileage is not as good as one would think with it being a small car with a four cylinder. I average 19 around town and 22/24 on the highway. Fun car to drive. I absolutely love my convertible top. Easy to put down and back up.

  2005 PT Cruiser Turbo 5speed.... - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By smokinghalo - January 5 - 11:32 pm

  LOVE this car. I bought it to replace my falling apart 1998 Honda Accord. Sure Ive had some mechanical issues with it, but nothing thats left me stranded. Car came with the extended Chrysler Gold Plan that covered the front control arms (common problem, the bushings like to fail), the oil pressure switch (common failure in a LOT of Mopars) and the front wheel bearings. I work for a dealer so I know the issues these have (multifunction switch, wiper nozzles like to die, but the biggest problem was the control arms. The A/C suction line died too but that was also covered under warranty. Gas mileage sucks, but hey, its a 220HP turbo monster convertible!

  Design Flaws Kill this car for me. - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By aut0savant - December 29 - 10:52 am

  The problems start by design. This car is not user friendly when it comes to roadside emergency. the way the engine is set up, its almost impossible to simply replace a tire under an hour. the spare tire retainer is bolted under the car that must be accessed from the trunk. If you ever wanted to replace your spare tire with a full sized tire, the retainer is far to small. The thermostat retainer is very poorly designed. Chrysler has made it in such a way that its almost necessary to remove the intake manifold rather work around/under it. When the thermostat seizes -- rather than have a high-pressure release, it will just rupture a hose (usually the smallest near the air filter.)

  Cruisin with a Cruiser - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Phil - December 20 - 3:13 pm

  The first real driving was to Massachusetts, 2600 mi, it was a great trip up and back. Very comfortable as a driver and passenger. Ease of handling, and viewing out all windows and mirrors. Its a great retro vehicle, I have since added more chrome and flash. All in all it is a great car to own and drive.

  I love my baby booboo! (Convertible) 2.4 - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Rev. Kathryn Ispan - December 10 - 4:00 pm

  Hey Guys, I am serious, I am so in love with my convertible PT Cruiser 2.4 Turbo touring 2005 edition I always park my baby side ways to prevent dents from lazy people getting out of their cars. I go to the extreme and park my baby far away from the busy lots in shopping malls. I am a responsible person, and I die if my baby boo boo, (nickname) would get any type of boo boo. The car cost me a fortune, I bought her in cash. I poudly say, I buy her all over again. Sincerely from your friend, Rev. Kathryn Anne Ispan
