  • PT Cruiser - Happy in Akron - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    My 2005 PT is the third one Ive purchased. Ive liked all of them. They are easy to maintain and are reliable. The only problems Ive encountered are tire/wheel related. As the chrome deteriorates, the beading on tires allow air to leak out. The local Goodyear dealer burnishes the rims and that usually solves it. Its very easy to change oil and filters on PTs.

  • My favorite car ever! - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    Ive loved these cars since they came out and finally got a base model 2005 5- speed. It is the most fun I have had driving ever. With the manual, there is no need for a turbo, because this thing takes off when you hit the gas. I love the roominess, the feel, the drivability of this car. And I got a very cool color in Electric Blue which still turns heads! A great car!

  • Best And Most Fun Car Ive Owned - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    I love my new Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible. It is peppy and has great acceleration. The manual transmission is easy to operate and the linkage a dream. I have had numerous compliments and I have enjoyed the camaraderie of other PT enthusiasts who flash each other a wave or send a toot of the horn. If you want a comfortable, fun car -- this is the ticket. My only disappointment is in the MPG, which Id hoped would be better, but then I think that with the "powers that be" MPG is institutionally designed to be poor. My PT still gets better MPG than anything else that I currently own. I am very impressed with the quality in construction of every detail inside and out. A great car!

  • P T Cruiser GT Conv. Hi Perf Turbo - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    My PT Cruiser GT Turbo Conv. is the most observer admired car that I have ever owned....and Ive owned a dozen coverts. It also accelerates faster than my 69 Corvette 427 or my 350 Formula Firebird and with a select- matic trans is more fun to drive than anything I have ever owned. My PT GT Hi Perf Turbo Conv is the BEST car I have ever owned...regardless of price. regardless of price .

  • When cross country and loved it - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    I took my convertible cross country,and it was a blast. I could cruise at 80-85 with no problem except for the police. I got decent economy driving at the higher speeds, and the handling was fantastic.I couldnt ask for a finer ride.

  • We love this car! - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    My husband and I (ages 31 and 28 respectively) bought this as our "family" car once we start our family. We actually hated the look of it when it first came out but during our honeymoon in 2004 our rental car turned out to be a PT Cruiser and we fell in love with it. It is so roomy inside it surprises you! Ive been driving it exclusively for a few weeks now and cant imaging driving anything else! I have filled up the back with groceries as well as other items. The folding back seats are great for long or oversize cargo.

    I have only had mine for a week have 500 miles on it now. We love it, our kids love it. It is a great little car for taking weekend trips. We have ea two year old she has a custom baby seat with a cover for the sun. This car handles great , good gas mileage, just all out fun. I was deciding between the Mercedes CLK320 convertible and the Audi at convertible. For the money and the style, couldnt go wrong.

  • Happy PT Convertible Owner - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    I have had my PT Convertible for two months. It performs very well. I have not had any problems with the vehicle at this time. The Turbo engine has lots of power. It performs very well on straight aways as well as hills. It has more power than I had expected. I like the auto stick transmission. It gives me the opportunity to drive the car like a stick shift. I especially like this feature on the curves and the hills. The car has an autostick transmission. It performs very well. The vehicle is very roomy. It seats four comfortably. There is more room then in larger convertibles.
