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.

  So far, so good (knock on wood) - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Bob - December 13 - 6:40 am

  Weve had this car for only 2 weeks but so far it has been a very fun car to drive and has met our expectations. But since we got it, we sure do see a lot of other silver PT Cruisers around town. ;-) We wanted a fun small car to drive around instead of the standard small car fare.

  my new PT GT convertable - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By jamesr - November 22 - 10:00 am

  This car is lots of fun to drive; much more powerful than the Ltd. Edition PT I traded in. The engine has a nice growl. Dont waste your time with the auto, this car needs the stick. Is an all wheel drive version in the future? Rear visibility isnt great and takes some getting used to.

  Baby Hemi - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Zoey12 - November 22 - 10:00 am

  This is my first experience with a convertible and i love it.I traded a Dodge Durango in on the Crusier convertible.. Gas mileage is not as good as i wanted but much better than the durango..I think the milage will get better as it gets broken in..I have no fear of getting out to pass a car, it gives me all the power i need. I do notice a blind spot on the right side toward the back of the car, but only when the top is up..

  Steer Clear of Chrysler PT Cruiser - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By JenniferDenise - October 31 - 6:33 am

  Ive had nothing but problems with this car since I purchased it. I barely get 16 mpg when I should be getting over 20. The car stalls when the air conditioner runs. It wont shift going up hills and has a lot of trouble taking off. The check engine light flashes during every up-hill battle. Ive replaced the brakes, rotors and spark plugs twice. I was told it needed a tune up which was done but the problems came back a few months later. Ive now been told that it needs another tune-up. I paid 10,000 on the car and Ive now paid over 4,000 in two years on "maintenance". My powertrain warranty hasnt covered the cost of any repairs to the engine or transmission. Ill never buy Chrysler again

  I hope nobody makes the mistake I did - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Teddy B - October 15 - 6:53 pm

  If there is anything I can do to convince you to not buy this car it would be worth it!! As a car I have to say its horrible. 16 MPG average (not city)!! It rumbles when you drive it. I wish i never bought it. You cant take it threw a carwash because of the top. You sit high compared to most cars, witch can be a good or bad thing. The car is slow and i am not exaderating about that, I got passed by a civic and I had it kicked to the floor. This car does not come with ABS atandard or Traction control, there is drumb breaks on the rear tires so when the raod is wet you have no traction and the car slides all over the place

  I love the way my pt handles both in the city and on the highway. On my last road trip my pt got 40 miles to the gal.The ride is very smooth. The inside is more spacious then it appears to be.

  Better Than a HHR - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By BETTER THAN HHR - September 17 - 7:33 am

  Started looking in August at the new Chevy HHR. Test drove one. Too much car for that little 4Cyl. Test drove a PT Limited Cruiser and really liked the way it handled. As far as wanting Turbo, no 4Cyl. engine can handle turbo day in and out. Great Car Chrysler!!!

  Cruiser Happy - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Cuzbear - August 31 - 8:23 pm

  From the very first moment I saw the PT Cruiser I knew it was the car for me. It is the most perfect vehicle for my needs. I didnt expect to have people wave at me just because I was driving the car of the year at the time. The design is also very useful and handy. I carry all kinds of stuff in comfort and ease. PT is reliable and has never let me down.

  Love our PT convertible - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Larry Harris - August 29 - 11:06 am

  We get more compliments from people than I can believe. Every where we go folks tell us that the wifes car is very sharp.The performance is unbelievable with the turbo and the 4 wheel disc brakes stop the car very quickly with little fade. The power top is a breeze to raise and lower also.
