  • pt cruiser - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    With less than 200 miles this is probably not a real review, but I am quite impressed with the feel of the car when driving and the fun spirit of the appearance. I just gave up a 98 Corolla, which I loved but getting in and out became harder and harder as I age. I fingd this a very worthy replacement, which easily gets rid of the problem of climbing out of a smalll car.

  • 05 PT Cruiser Convertible - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    I got my PT Cruiser convertible in April of 05. I always liked the PT from when it first came out. This car is the cutest car Ive ever owned. It drives great, the turbo has great power especially when merging into traffic on the major highways. The a/c works great,all electronics work well. I like how when the top goes down all the windows do too at the same time. I would recommend this car to anyone who likes a convertible. I get alot of compliments on the car all the time. It is a definite head turner. The model I have is the Dream Cruiser Series which makes it alittle different then the usual PT, being that the convertble top color matched that of the car. A great choice in car selection

  • Great enjoyment - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    We fell in love with it in car magazine pictures. Full blown love when we actually saw one on the lot. Took it home to try and it has not left. Great fun, great ease to enjoy the top down. Great purformance and gas mileage balance. The turbo is wonderful. Only down side has been having to replace the front brakes after only 18K miles of normal city driving. We simply love the little thing that is not so little and really works for us. Drives great, looks great and we get great comments on it every where we go. Thanks Chrysler for contintinueing to put out exciting cars. I just wish I could have a HEMI in it.

    Its hard to believe I am taking time to answer your inquiry but I love my car so much that it is worth the time.....Driving with the top down and the roll bar in view makes me feel l6 again...when I park it even if next to an expensive car, my little beauty gets the looks....I have owned Mercedes through Corvettes, and this is my number l favorite. Only downfall is trunk space, but small price to pay for driving this American Beauty.... Jo Zarnoch, Director of Real Estate, River Run Country Club.

  • P/T Convertible is Solid & Fun - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    I was especially impressed with how sturdy and solid this car is, especially after being disappointed with the feel of the Sebring convertible. This convertible is also surprisingly quiet with none of the highway wind noise usually associated with a convertible. Very comfortable car.

  • Love it! - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    This car has been amazing! I have so much fun in it! Also with the glass back window, and the airtight top, you cant even tell it is a convertible with the top up, it is awesome!

  • Was PT - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    Easy to drive, maneuver, economical. I have to fight the family to drive it.

  • Good Value for the $ - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    I now have 29 K on it and it has proofed to be a reliable fun and handy car to own. The ability to change the rear seating around as needed has really been handy. Also once I put in a K@N air filter in I was able to get as high as 33 mpg on the highway and about 28 city. Would only recommend the 5 spd due to the lack of power though unless you live somewhere really flat. If I were going to change something I would have had the power locks and rear truck release as standard equip. Also the shifting is pretty stiff compared to say a toyota.

  • Perfect Fit - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    I researched this vehicle on the internet and had a super experience. Got exactly what I wanted and knew what I would pay before I went to the dealership. I find the ride much quieter and smoother than what you read about. Im 58" and I dont find the view awkward -rather the angles and shapes almost eliminate the blind spot. A+++ to the design team. Its peppy - not sluggish at all. Handling is a dream. Features are right where you expect them. Superb mileage. This is the 1oth vehicle I have owned and by far the most fun to drive.
