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.

  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

  Fun Car - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Tfjjmc - February 22 - 10:00 am

  I enjoy driving my car everyday. It has style, but still has enough room for a family. The only thing I am dissapointed in the the fuel economy on the GT turbo edition. Also, if you drive on bumpy streets, I do not recommend the 16 in low profile wheels and tires. I have replaced 2 in six months. But that is no fault of the car, it is beautiful, and runs like a top.

  Pretty good care for the price - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By msandon - February 1 - 5:00 pm

  We bought the base model. It is fun to drive but wish it had a bit more power. If i were to buy another, id buy another pt:) the downer was the gas mileage...power vs mileage should be better

  GO TURBO or stay on the porch! - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By MICHAEL YANKO - January 16 - 6:13 pm

  Im in love with my car again!!!! Im a convertible man for the last 30 years and I must say Im very impressed with this awesome vehicle. I have a bad lower back and the way these seats fit me is like they were designed by my chiropractor....the height fully raised is perfect...the lumbar is firm, and because of the roof height there is no lower back strain on me getting in and out. When I test drove a new Touring Turbo ragtop I and took it on a drivers ed obstacle course, then to a vacant parking lot to find out what it would really do....I smoked the tires, tried to roll it, ..and although I didnt buy the new one I tested...I decided the PT Cruiser Turbo covertible was the one for me!

  Makes the Drive NOT Boring - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Robyn Hurd - January 10 - 7:36 pm

  This car is exceptionally fun to drive. I like to drive with the top down (Florida) nearly all of the time and the ease of putting it up and down (One button) allows this. You can easily go Up or Down at a Stop sig! Plenty of Power. Amazing interior room. And Cute as it can be!
