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.

05 PT Cruiser convertable - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By PJNodianos - November 21 - 10:00 amordered as soon as I heard was avail. three month wait, however worth it. the cool vanilla color looks a lot better with the light brown top.(another re reason to order it to your own specs.) rides like a champ, keeps up with highway traffic verrry well...goes from cruising at 70 to 120 mph no trouble....however when you do "punch it" hold on! Make sure that ya get the light color interior with the vanilla color, also.

Cheated - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By Ron - October 13 - 8:53 amOil leaking unreliable crappie car and will never be a sucker to anything made by Chrysler. Bought new and now have a 5 year history of problems. 7 year 70,000 mile warranty. I have 72,000 miles on it now and the camshaft seal blows pouring out oil. At 3700 miles just 2 months old engine pulled for oil leaks. Chrysler wont help with warranty just 2000 miles over and history of this lemon even under the 7 years. The engine needs taken completely out and apart to find the problem. I feel cheated and wont waste any more money on it. Gonna go back to Ford. The most reliable vehicle I ever owned was a 1993 Ford tempo.

just plain fun. - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By wayne gerlipp - September 24 - 9:13 pmbeing an old muscle car jock the styling appealed to me the day they came out. since I was already partial to chrysler products(going back to the real hemi days- 425 underrated horsepower)the purchase of the p/t was a no brainer. it has plenty of pep with the turbo and is just plain fun to drive. the interior versatility is also a major plus.

My 2005 PT Cruiser Touring Edition - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By Kyoti - September 15 - 10:33 pmI bought this car new in 2005. Decided to wait on a review until it was a few years old. I like to test something out for quite awhile before giving a review. It has low miles because I mainly use it as my work/commuter car. But it is a pretty reliable car. Havent had too much problems with it. My oil relay went out and my CD player went out as well. Thats the only problems Ive has with it in the 4 years Ive had it. It doesnt get as good of gas mileage as I would have thought...it gets the same as my old 1998 Mustang V6 and I think thats pretty bad actually, it should get better than that. All-in-all good car.

High cost/&high repair cost - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By Mike C - September 11 - 9:16 amThe overall value of the car is far less than the value of the car. Ratio of 1/5. Because of the many problems, an hard to service per mechanics, an cluster panel failure, this car should be restricted to hobby driving to grocery store, but not suitable for city an high traffic driving. You will end up paying for it twice based on repairs.

cruiser convertible touring - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By rocky hill - August 23 - 10:20 amA great little car that makes getting from here to there a fun experience. Coming from a large truck, Chevy 2500 hd diesel, this is like driving a go- cart. Convertible is easy to use and navigation system is just a plus.

First time Chrysler owner - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By David - July 12 - 3:26 amGreat small vehicle. I tested several different makes & models before trying a PT and discovered I had been wasting my time. I wanted something that would not scare you when trying to get onto the freeway or passing someone. This GT will get you there quick and safe. I do like the front of the 2006 model better. Ive never had a problem with my car and I drive 80 miles a day round trip to work. My wife loves it so much that were thinking about selling her Gran Prix GT and getting her a GT-PT also.
