    This is a fun car to dive. It has loads of room. Head room, leg room, front and back seats. All the seats except the drivers fold so you can easly pack long items.

    LOVE this car. I bought it to replace my falling apart 1998 Honda Accord. Sure Ive had some mechanical issues with it, but nothing thats left me stranded. Car came with the extended Chrysler Gold Plan that covered the front control arms (common problem, the bushings like to fail), the oil pressure switch (common failure in a LOT of Mopars) and the front wheel bearings. I work for a dealer so I know the issues these have (multifunction switch, wiper nozzles like to die, but the biggest problem was the control arms. The A/C suction line died too but that was also covered under warranty. Gas mileage sucks, but hey, its a 220HP turbo monster convertible!

    The first real driving was to Massachusetts, 2600 mi, it was a great trip up and back. Very comfortable as a driver and passenger. Ease of handling, and viewing out all windows and mirrors. Its a great retro vehicle, I have since added more chrome and flash. All in all it is a great car to own and drive.

  • I love my baby booboo! (Convertible) 2.4 - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    Hey Guys, I am serious, I am so in love with my convertible PT Cruiser 2.4 Turbo touring 2005 edition I always park my baby side ways to prevent dents from lazy people getting out of their cars. I go to the extreme and park my baby far away from the busy lots in shopping malls. I am a responsible person, and I die if my baby boo boo, (nickname) would get any type of boo boo. The car cost me a fortune, I bought her in cash. I poudly say, I buy her all over again. Sincerely from your friend, Rev. Kathryn Anne Ispan

    This convertible is great! I love being on of the first to own it. The engine is very peppy, the sound system is wonderful and I love the rag top. If it would only warm up a bit and stop raining!

  • Go get yours,& stop whining - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    Dollar for dollar you just cant beat the price.Try getting something/anything with all the options in the GT high output version,for the money.Any & all complaints about being underpowered,are removed with either of the turbo models.Remember this is a 3400 pound car.As far as gas mileage goes,try driving normal,& youll be suprised.Wait till you feel the new suspension on the GT.

  • Cool Cruiser - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    Ive owned my Cruiser a little over a month, and have had no problems with it. The High Output Turbo has plenty of power, and the GT has all the accessories I was looking for. No need for factory/dealer add-ons. I dont know why I waited so long to buy a PT Cruiser. This is the first Chrysler product I have owned, and am pleasantly surprised by the quality. Of all the vehicles Ive owned in the past, this car is the most fun to drive, and gets the most head turns from others. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a family sedan. Lots of room and comfort.
