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.

  MY VERY OWN PT CRUISER - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By fun girl in the sun! - October 31 - 10:00 am

  I have had a ton of fun driving my jet black PT.CRUISER. It looks awsome when its cleaned up. Everywhere I go everyone is staring trying to see in, to see whos driving it. Now everyone knows its mine, I live in a small town so of course evertime they see me they have to ask about it. I was the first to get one here, now there are 4 more in my town, but not like mine. Every time me and my husband decide to go somewhere we always chose my PT. to drive. I will not go anywhere unless Im in it. To sum it all up its the funnest and greatest vehicle I have ever owned.

  great looks, poor return for the money - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By rizzo - October 2 - 10:00 am

  Styling is great, interior versatility best in class. BUT, engine performance worst Ive ever had, no power, poor fuel economy, poor quality fit and finish, and now Chrysler ruins the resale with incentives on new models. Last Chrysler product Ill ever own.

  Worst car ever owned! - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By classicsrock - August 6 - 7:46 pm

  i bought a 2001 pt cruiser 3 weeks ago...a weeks after i bought it i had to put in new ball joints and bushings and put 4 brand new tires on it. then last weeks i broke down on the side of the rd, the timing belt went and ruined all the valves and failed the compression test, the motor was junk so needless to say i will NEVER buy another one complete junk! i should have bought the Chevy Camaro i was headed to go look at the but saw the pt on my way their biggest mistake! now Im out a couple thousand dollars and no car. for anyone thinking about buy a pt, dont, just keep driving!

  Nice to look at , nice to drive - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By l. guadarrama - July 27 - 6:40 pm

  I work at a rental car agency and have the opportunity to drive many different new make and model vehicles. To date I have not driven one that give me as much pleasure as my PT Cruiser. This vehicle is comfortable, drives well, is great to look at and still turns heads. I have a 2001 model that I purchased used in 2002 with approximatel 8500 miles on the odometer. I now have a little over 40000 miles on it and I have not had any problems with the vehicle. The utility of the vehicle is exceptional, you can really load the back with bulky items such as a large 36in TV, by simply dropping the seats. All the people that have ridden in the car have been impressed by the ease of entry and comfort.

  Happy owner - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Happy owner - July 26 - 9:20 am

  I have owned my PT Cruiser for over 5 years, which is the longest I have ever owned a car. I cant find anything on the market that I like any better. I have spent less than $1,000 in repairs over 5 years and it is going strong. Im sure when I buy a new car one of my kids will be driving it for another 10 years.

  2001 PT LE - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By jdsax85 - July 25 - 3:26 pm

  I purchased this car six monthes ago and have had no mechanical problems other than reverse grinding going into gear occasionally. The interior of these look like a million bucks, but the seats arent very comfortable. Ive upgraded to 18 chrome wheels, have painted the front and back bumpers to match, added a wing, and get looks and compliments daily.

  One bumpy ride - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Pieter Spierenburg - July 12 - 1:56 am

  Bought this one owner Limited Cruiser with 45,000 mi. on it and every option available incl. sunroof. It has 16" alloy wheels with Goodyear Eagle GT 205R55/16 tires on it and I am afraid to hit any potholes as it makes a loud clunking sound. The dealer told me that is normal for this type with sport suspension on it. No good for those who like a nice smooth ride.

  2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser Touring - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Ultimatealtima89 - July 8 - 7:16 am

  My Dad owns a 2001 PT Cruiser Touring. I really like it and its pretty comfortable and looks nice. Ive heard for a such a small engine it has better power than expected. I do have some complaints though. First of all the gas mileage on the PT Cruiser is a joke. It is a Chrysler so it has a plastic cheap looking dashboard but it doesnt look too bad. It has no front center console or rear folding center console for rear seat passengers. The back seats are uncomfortable because they are very straight and not reclined back. The rear power window buttons are basically on the ground so anything on the ground can roll the window down without you knowing. Other than those its very nice.

  Single Owner Vehicle - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Average Amy - July 4 - 7:20 pm

  I ordered my PT Cruiser in 2000 and waited around 8 mo for it to arrive. It didnt disappoint. I still love my PT Cruiser seven years and 100,000 miles later. It only broke down once, just after the 30K warranty ended. The torque converter went. After writing to Chrysler, they agreed to pay 75% of the repair and towing bills. I purchased this car primarily for its comfort. I have a very bad back and cant do bucket seats. This car is extremely comfortable. This car has served me and my family very well. Im not looking forward to purchasing a new car. Whenever I bring up the subject, my children are nearly moved to tears.

  PT Nightmare Cruise - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By mbit - June 26 - 8:56 am

  Honestly the worst car I have ever owned. I am ready to push it over a cliff to take it out of my misery. It has been a maintenance nightmare. I have spent almost $6000 in maintenance this year alone.
