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.

  I have one issue only with this car...When you roll the window down it make an ear hurting loud thundering noise that is unbearable. Keep your windows up.

  PT Convertable - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Alana - May 5 - 10:00 am

  Ive had the car since mid July, and even though I live in the midwest Ive had the roof down almost every day. It is so much fun to drive, handles as well as my last car (a dodge avenger). My only drawback was that it took seven weeks to come in with my special order.

  nice Cruiser - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser

  Well the quality of the PT Cruiser surprised my wife and me, we have taken a few trips and the ride was very good and the gas performance was not that great at first, but the more the cruiser is driven the better gas mileage it is getting.

  turbo convertible - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Elizabeth - March 27 - 12:06 am

  Only had my cruiser for one month and cant wait to use the convertible more often...Ive had so many compliments on the look of the car. It is very comfortable and spacious riding in the front, but the TRUNK is much too small! The trunk hatch-door should go straight upward more so you dont have to lean over to put stuff in it. Turbo is better than my non-turbo previously owned. You should have YELLOW for color choice.

  Sad the lease is up - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Scott from Buffalo - March 22 - 4:26 am

  I purchased my 5spd GT w/heated seats nearly 3 years ago and am sad my time with the car is coming to an end. Overall, this is a great vehicle to own if you live in a snowy area since it is FWD and very heavy. While many others have complained of poor fuel economy, I have found the winter traction trade off worth the thirst the vehicle has for premium fuel. In fact, I motored by many SUV this past winter stuck in the ice and snow; the car just cannot be stopped in the snow. I have had few mechanical problems with the car, nothing more then I had with my previous two Honda’s. I am shopping this week, and will drive the Eos and Solara, but think I will purchase another.

  Lots of Storage and Comfy Ride - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Dee - February 17 - 1:06 am

  I rented a 2006 Touring Wagon before I settled on a 2005 Limited Ed. The seats in the Limited were much more comfortable, and seat comfort was my "only" issue in the rental. I purchased a former rental vehicle and saved oodles off a new car PT price as a result (didnt take a hit on first year depreciation). I took my four (good sized) teenagers for a ride with the spouse and went shopping. Three teens in the back seat rated that back seat a unanimous "thumbs up". After grocery shopping and a few other stops, we still had room in the trunk! Even my husband, who is 61" and 245 pounds, found the ride comfortable, especially head room. My family thinks I finally bought a "cool" car!

  Great Car!! - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By larice - January 15 - 8:13 pm

  I love this car! We just bought the 05 touring addition last month. Took it on a trip from NC to Washington DC. Handled great on interstate. No problems so far. Average about 25 mpg, which is right on target with the window sticker claim. I went from a mini-van to the cruiser, and am very surpised at the interior room.

  A quick, fun to drive, unique convertible - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By michaelcagle - January 14 - 9:56 am

  I owned a 2002 limited and loved the car, but always felt like it was a too slow and at times, too "Brady Bunch". I was thrilled to see the 4 door transform into a two door. I loved the look with the top up beter than the original wagon look, and once the top is down, it has one of the coolest looks on the road. My GT convertible is my baby. Red and Black. I love the sport bar, the funky trunk, the silver on the grill and the HO turbo is a blast to drive. Yes, it is not a mustang a GT, or a vette, but it wont be the last one leaving the stoplight. I have 0-60 time just under 7 seconds and that is great. it passes with confidence, handles well and looks amazi
