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.

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

make it your own - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By johnny - December 23 - 4:36 pmi like the overall design but there are things i would change. i want to chop the top, lower it, bag it and suicide the rear doors to start. i also want to make it so you can open the rear hatch without the key. i plan to put a supercharger on it too. a custom paint job is in the works also. i plan to make it a show car.

Great Value for the Price - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By Ladybob - December 17 - 10:00 amA very unique and stylish car. I have been complimented at stoplights and notice others noticing me driving in the Cruiser.

Fun but pricy - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By elljay - November 4 - 10:00 amit is a head turner. performance is ok with the 170hp turbo. very good seats for long drives. fuel economy is not very good even with careful driving. interior design is good. exterior is very nice,good lines. quality is ok. the fabric used feels like velcro on skin. reliability is yet to be determined.

Red Hot PT - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By DT - October 6 - 4:26 amI have always wanted a PT since they came out, and finally got one. I have the Inferno Red Base PT, and I love the looks. The only issue is the gas mileage. I have a 96 Voyager with the same 2.4 4 cylinder and 3 speed auto, and it gets better mileage in town than the PT. I only have 6k on the PT, so maybe it will improve. My wife wasnt crazy about the PT at first, but she drives it all the time now. I think when we finally get rid of the van, we will go with a ragtop PT. Seating is up high, with a good view of the road. The seats are a bit hard, and get somewhat unconfrontable on long trips, as there is no lumbar adjustments. Otherwise, this is one Red Hot PT that rocks!

2nd Update - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By 1month - September 1 - 4:33 amThis is an update after about 1 month of owning my PT GT. The new has now worn off, and its true colors are coming out. I dont know if there is a little something not right about it, or if its normal for a turbo, but it seems to lack power. Taking off from a stoplight, the rpms easily push near 3000, but the acceleration is still just normal. Some days seems better than others, though. Bottom line: when you floor it, it goes pretty strongly, but under normal driving, its nothing to phone home about.
