Overview & Reviews

A convertible joins the PT Cruiser lineup for 2005.

• 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.

  From Honda to Chrysler - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Scott In Buffalo - July 4 - 7:20 pm

  When I traded my 02 Accord SE for this vehcile, I was very apprehensive about my first "American" car in over 10 years. Overall, I have had the cruiser for about a month and am satisfied with my buying decision. It seems at this point the imports are not willing to deal. I was even told by a local Honda dealer "We dont really negotiate on our Accords anymore, they sell themselves". Well, not to this consumer. The cruiser is an excellent vehicle on a long trip. Everyone is comfortable, including rear seat passengers. It takes a while for gas mileage to improve but I am finally getting about 22 MPG in a city/hwy mix after about 4 weeks.

  The best safety rating - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By kc from washington - June 13 - 7:50 am

  I got one of the last 2005 PTs in the area. I didnt intend on buying the Limited Edition but glad I did. My insurance gave it the best safety rating they offer. Costs me less than my Suzuki Vitara (worth half the value). I love the way it handles; drives very sporty. I live in the country and it handles great on the many curves and inclines. Wish the gas mileage was better, but its worth it.

  I purchased this car when I turned 40. I actually researched and purchased this car "online" before they were available to the public. Two years later I am still very pleased with my purchase. For the price, it was a very good purchase.

  Pay or Pay - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Buckskincolt - May 13 - 6:33 pm

  Dont buy a high maintenance PT, you need to change plugs every 30k, they get pathetic mileage 20city/24hwy. Brakes grind like they are shot but they are ok, Ive had a head oil leak that Chrysler had a service bulletin on but made me pay because it was 1k out of warranty? And check your used trade value!! This car is only worth $5500 trade in if it were a Honda civic it would have a trade of $9300. This has got to be the worst car I have ever owned, sure its cute but beyond than it is a poor excuse of an automobile. American automakers at work. Where is Lee Iacocca when you need him. This car is a fall back to the 70s when all Chrysler products werent fit for the road. Think, dont buy!

  Great Small Wagon - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Larry E Nave - April 18 - 3:23 pm

  I just purchased my PT Cruiser, I traded in a 2003 Durango for it. I liked my Durango, but wanted something easier on gas. The Cruiser fits the bill, fun to drive, for a 4 cyclinder it has great get up an go. My Son has a 2004 Touring and my nephew justed traded his 2002 for a new Touring also, they love them. I have always be a Chrysler person, have had Dodge, Plymouth and Chryslers.

  Lotta car, little price - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By bestpilot - April 11 - 9:56 am

  Three years and no problems. My gas mileage is better than EPA rating and Im a lead foot; I get 22 city, 29 Hwy with automatic. Quality is on par with Accord or Camry (Ive owned Hondas and Toyotas) and the car cost me ten grand less, about 15K new. The mini-limo back seat gets rave reviews from family and friends; we always use this car for road trips. I would buy again without hesitation.

  Blue Turbo Drop Top from the 40s - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Zhen - April 10 - 2:00 am

  Wow! 180hp with 210lb torque! This is such a hot car. I have had this car for less then 2 days and already have had 10 people tell me how much they love the styling. I have the Electric Blue with Dark interior. It is so hot! This car isnt the GT, but it has so much power. I wish the tires where higher performance with better grip because I have smoked the tires four times from start to 40 and once while going 20 and hitting the gas.

  consumer satisfaction - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By sally conklin - March 27 - 3:00 pm

  Aside from the great fun to drive..the performance, get up and go with the turbo, as well as the ease of getting in and out are a significant plus. I am a 72 year old Senior as are most of my friends. Most need a crane to get in and out of cars of any kind and find even getting into the back seat, remember it is a two door and with the front seat all the way back they do very well. Milage is summer only. Covered in the garage now..SUV for MIchigan winter..Had it since April 2004
