Overview & Reviews

The Chrysler PT Cruiser's sporty GT trim level has been dropped for 2008. Chrysler has also reduced the convertible model's trim level availability and made minor adjustments to feature availability. However, there will be a new special-edition model coming out later in the model year, the PT Street Cruiser Sunset Boulevard Edition.

• Roomy cabin with great utility, smooth ride, low price.

• Aged design, tepid acceleration with the base engine, less than stellar fuel economy, awkward seating position for shorter drivers.

  Love the PT - 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Mark - May 31 - 8:56 am

  This is my third PT. My first of the Limited and I wished it had a little more power and better handling. In 2004, I traded it in for the GT and Ive loved it ever since. But Ive always wanted a convertible so I just traded it in for a Vanilla one with the turbo. I couldnt be happier. Ive read some comments about discontinuing the PT and I hope its not true because Ill want another one in a few years.

  Boring, boring, boring - 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By JW - May 19 - 2:56 am

  Looks good from the outside, but by 2008 is getting dated. The dashboard is sleek, but made of a very cheap plastic. The seats are not comfortable in the slightest for long drives. They are not contoured to the body at all. Not much storage capacity despite being a wagon. The power is pitiful in town and for the highway.

  Why Do We Have Two Of These? - 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Glen Miller - February 7 - 9:20 pm

  W.P. Chrysler Special Edition. Interior room less than 2002 model. Water pump and transmission solenoid block (machined casting) both replaced under warranty by dealership at No Charge. No gas mileage. No performance from 4 cylinder engine. My extended-cab pickup truck turns a tighter radius than these cars. The end cannot come too soon for these cars.
