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.

  Its my wifes if I let her drive it. - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By jeffm - November 7 - 10:00 am

  Just traded a GT Turbo PT 4 door for the GT Turbo PT Ragtop. What a ball to drive. Makes me feel 10 years younger. Handles smartly with very nice pickup. Highway driving is bear tempting and noise level is very good top up or down. Maybe Ill even let her drive it!!

  No More Blues! - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By garcande - August 5 - 1:09 am

  Well, its finally fixed. I have a convertible again! Youll recall from my last review that I was still waiting for the parts from Chrysler which may/ or not come in December. I decided to search the web again for rebuilt parts. I finally found a company in Oregon that rebuilds the cylinders better than new. Better yet, they have an exchange policy that allows you to get the new parts up front and return the old ones for a credit. The Chrysler service team actually had to call them to find out how to install them, as they only know how to replace the complete unit (which you cant get)! I must say they were very helpful and Im sure they never want to see me again. Thats all for now!

  VERY VERSATLE...fun to drive. A mix of between a station wagon and a mini van. Priced to sell...a BARGAIN for the quality.

  The Greatest Car I have ever owned! - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Limited Edition Turb - June 10 - 12:36 pm

  This little car is like a baby to me! It looks so great and has everybody looking at it. The construction of the car is wonderful. It rides like a dream and I feel it is the best car I have ever owned! Highly recommended!

  Not as good as the original - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By SandiH - June 3 - 4:10 pm

  I had a 2001 PT wagon, which I absolutely loved! Traded it in for the convertible, and was very disappointed. New turbo engine was great, but I found I really missed the cargo room of the original. Even taking convertible into account, the trunk is VERY poorly designed and hard to access -- even for weekly chores like groceries. Also found the seatbelt uncomfortable -- hit me on the neck, and isnt adjustable. Im 55, and felt as if the drivers seat had to be pushed way forward to reach the clutch. Sad to say, after just 6 months I traded it in (at a loss of $9,000 in just 6 mos! So much for holding its value!) for a Lexus RX330.

  Eventual suspension creaking - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Robert Walinchus - April 20 - 9:33 pm

  After 4 years of driving, overall great fun and sexy looking. Unique shape stands out, especially with red paint.

  Great little car - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Dianna Livingston - March 29 - 4:30 pm

  My husband and I just purchases the car a little over a month ago. We are both very tall and there is ample head and leg room for both. The cruiser is very fun to drive. The car has a lot of style outside. It has a personality, and is more that just basic transportation. We get an average of 20 mpg in the city. Acceleration is fairly good for a 4 cl. So far we are glad we bought the car especially since we paid less that $15,000.00

  2005 Conv. Cruiser - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser

  The car has been nothing but fun. The windows opening with the door has been a pain here in northern Michigan. The water pump has just been replaced. But all in all it has just been fun!

  By wts - December 1 - 2:00 am

  Fun to drive. We get alot of looks. We own the GT TURBO with 220 HP. Im afraid my wife will get a speeding ticket. Very quick, handles great. More room than it appears to have.
