Overview & Reviews

Classic styling and modern utility were the guiding forces behind Chrysler's PT Cruiser. Based loosely on the Neon platform, this small van offers a flexible interior, head-turning looks and, sadly, only 150 horsepower. A more powerful engine is already in the works.

• Unique styling, low purchase price, roomy and flexible interior.

• Only 150 horsepower, engine noise at high rpms, initial demand will exceed supply.

  PT Cruiser, a great little car. - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By J Catucci - July 13 - 10:00 am

  I find the PT Cruiser a very versatile auto. I purchased a new clothes dryer and a new dishwasher and a compound miter saw and transported them home all at once plus my wife and myself. Gas milage is not the best, (around 20 to 24 mpg). The ride is a sporty ride. I recommend this car to anyone who wants to have fun while driving.

  Chrysler is #3 for a reason! - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By bike_canoe2 - July 5 - 4:30 pm

  After owning a PT for 100,000 miles, I can only say it is an ok car. GMs 4cyls get better gas mileage and have more power. Fords are more reliable. The turning radius is too big. The seats are hard, with only one arm rest for the driver and none in the back. Paint has lasted very well, it still shines. There are better options on the market that you should consider. I found out by my mechanic that this engine will be broken if the timing belt breaks

  More fun to drive than my Jaguar XJ6 - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Me Too - June 3 - 1:20 pm

  I drove a 96 Jag and my husband was in the market for a new car. One day when the Jag was in the shop (again!) they gave me a PT Cruiser as a loaner. I loved it, told my husband he could drive the Jag and bought one a week later. Ive hauled a sheet of Wonderboard, a 9x 12 carpet, kids, pets, etc. Its like a van but much cuter and sportier! I love this car!!! Mine is Inferno Red to match my cell phone. Great for all my soccer mom type of driving and hauling.

  Good car for 3 years only - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By eugne - April 12 - 7:23 am

  I was driving PT cruiser since they first appeared in 2001. I loved this car. Utility, fun to drive, look, everything is good. Except reliability. After 3 year and 15,000 miles I replaced rack and pinion. At 30,000 replaced computer, engine harness and other details. If you want this car, you must buy extended warranty, or better yet, keep it for only 3 years. I paid too much for not having extended warranty and Chrysler corp does not care. Finally got rid of it and no more Chryslers for me. Only imports.

  Unreliable - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Do not buy Chrysler - March 21 - 10:00 am

  This car is extremely unreliable. It has been one problem after another. The latest problem is a smell of a burning electrical system. Do not purchase this headache.

  great car noisy engine - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Steve Aberegg - March 13 - 10:00 am

  Excellent vehicle. Great brakes and yes the 4 cyl. does have enough power unless you continually climb steep mountains. The engine is a little to loud in a buzzy 4 cyl. way for this type of vehicle.

  Surprisingly excellent car - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By TJoy - January 21 - 10:00 am

  Not one minor thing has gone wrong with this car in the 4 years I have owned it. It is now one year out of warranty and I have paid $.00 for repairs. Superb for driving around the city; very easy to maneuver in traffic and park. Good on highway. Handles and corners like a sports car. Brilliant interior design - very flexible and spacious. Fit and finish better than my former Mercedes Benz 300E. It is still fun to own and gets much favorable attention. Very easy to enter and exit; good seating position for people with back problems.

  If I could set this car on fire..I WOULD - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Miserable - December 9 - 4:03 am

  Ive had my Limited Edition for 9 years now. Its been a nightmare for 7 of those years. At 15K miles the brake system had to be overhauled to the tune of $600. 30K...brakes AGAIN...38K both tail light assemblies had to be replaced...40K Headlight assemly this time...56K Rotars and Calipers...68K Radiator AGAIN...and on it goes. Just hit 80K and Im still having issues with the brake system. I started out loving this car...now I loathe it...final words? BURN BABY BURN!
