  PT NOT FOR ME - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By myhoganybrown - December 25 - 5:36 pm

  I only got the car because it was the most affordable. I ended up hating this car 1 year later not because of its reliability but because of its looks. This car is definitely perfect for older people. Why anyone under 50 would drive this car is beyond me? Although, I wasnt forced to purchase, it was a regret. However, no big maintenance issues. I just think it has no sex appeal.

  Old fashioned styling..... - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By PTCruisen - December 18 - 2:53 am

  I like the way the styling is.. classic look. Ive enjoyed my cruiser, roomy. The gas mileage could be improved. And the funky smell that some others have come across is the engine coolant. Ive noticed that smell last winter and occasionally when the AC is on. The AC doesnt get as cold as my first car did. But its comfortable. The rear stabilizer bar was not installed even though its on the window sticker. It needs one for a better ride. The turning radius is not tight enough and there are a few blind spots if you happen to be five foot and under. Had some paint problems with the metalic paint. Dealer finally fixed. After contacting HQ.

  A super performer and excellent quality. I just wish the Chrysler would stop upgrading. This is my 2nd Cruiser and I want a convertible.

  Better than I imagined! - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By madscientist - October 28 - 2:00 am

  This car has been fantastic! We needed a vehicle to haul our new baby around and this was the perfect grocery getter with a punch! The turbo is a perfect addition and really completes the package. The 17 in wheels are great and the handling is taught yet forgiving. Granted its not the car you want for autocrossing but for spirited day-to-day driving (w/o baby). This is a great car. Cant wait for the first long road trip!

  Poor on Gas Economy - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By SalemGuy - October 16 - 10:00 am

  I do like the PT cruiser very much the fit and finish is very good. I do like the ability to remove the back seats with ease. I am a kayaker so I do like that extra room to carry extre gear. However, for a 4 banger I only receive 24 miles per gallon (that is an average local and highway mileage). I do think that they should put some more effort into engine design to improve fuel economy.

  Car is worth the money - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By ruebend - August 28 - 2:03 am

  I purchased this car for my wife 3 years ago, and has handled beautifully. Being 62 I found that I had plenty of headroom and leg room, something that I could not find in other cars that were being considered. We average out 25,000 miles a year, and for long trips, this car performs well.

  Jury not in yet! - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Zazz - August 8 - 2:00 am

  I wanted a PT the first time I saw one,but knew I couldnt go from a 200hp 6 cylinder to a 150hp 4, so I waited. Well after 2 years I got my turbo! Its a hoot to drive, but has been in for a belt replacement at 400 miles, and a new drivers seat is on order due to bad leather on the side bolster( cracked and wearing at 2000miles). Also I got about 12mpg from the first 7 tankfulls, but its up to about 16now. Thats around town with my foot in the turbo! So if it can staw out of the shop ill be one happy CRUISER!!!
