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.

  bad... - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By NeverPT - May 23 - 1:20 pm

  bought it brand new but already had a couple of problems after owning it for less than 3 weeks. chirping noise due to misalignment of belt. air conditioning doesnt work well. Brought it to dealer today to have belt replaced and have AC checked. car seats are not comfortable. gas mileage is OK. the first tank got 24.2 mpg, not bad.

  Love that pt - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By sheldon m. markel - May 7 - 1:16 pm

  I feel safer because of fast turbo acceleration. It feels good on the road. But not recommended for people who ordinarily take long trips. Great for city driving and parking. The seniors will appreciate the wide accessibility. Trunk space is limited unless you put a rear seat down.

  Worst Car Ever - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By nat9 - April 27 - 11:19 am

  This car is the most unreliable car I have ever owned. Several ongoing challenges; I have had to change camshaft sensor, powersteering line, window motors would constantly stick and windows wouldn,t move. Terrible with gas, I have to fill my tank twice per week. A/C stopped working after one year, only blows hot air. This car has cost me so much money. I purchased this car January 2006 and have owned it almost 5yrs. When I first purchased this car I felt it was too soon to write a review. Very dissapointed that I will need to purchase a new car again. When I am driving on the highway, i feel like the wind will blow the car away because of the flimsy, lite material it is made of.

  Constant Repairs - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Frustrated - April 19 - 10:30 am

  When we first purchased the PT it seemed like a great vehicle. The gas mileage was always in the high 20s. Had maintanence preformed at the scheduled time and thought we were taking good care of it. Once the problems started the milage suffered and is around 22. At 28000 had the headgasket replace to take care of an oil leak at 48000 replaced the right and left lower control arms and bushings at 56000 the battery shorted out leaving the vehicle total dead at 58000 replaced spark plugs and wires and now the transmission seems to be having problems. Most of the miles are from the 60 mile round trip to work on the open highway. Never owned a vehicle with so many problems with this low of milage

  Not A Good Choice - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By blondie77 - March 29 - 12:43 am

  I keep trying to like my PT Cruiser, but it just isnt the right vehicle for me. The body is too big for the engine, so driving uphill is a real challenge. Unfortunately, I made a wrong choice and will be trading it in sooner than I had planned.

  By cruzin 01 - March 23 - 2:03 pm

  I like the car but i eats too much gas. Its just the right size for me and my fiance for now till we starting having a family then we will have to upgrade to something bigger. It also is a fun to drive.

  best and worse of a PT Cruiser - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser

  the worst car ever - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By demi - January 23 - 4:23 am

  I feel like a sucker for buying this junker.Back in 05 I thought buying new would give me worry free driving for atleast 4 to 5 years.Man I could have not been more wrong. I bought in May and by October it was at the dealer for 7 weeks because the whole instrument cluster was shot to hell.The problems have not stopped since.I have replaced the drive shafts 5 times already.The box is not big enough to list all the problems that I have had.If I did not have friends who are mechanics and had to bring this car to the dealer, I would be near $20,000 in repairs.With one year left in payments near $4,000 I am so tempted to drive this piece of junk thruogh the front window of Chryslers head office.
