This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Unique styling, low purchase price, roomy and flexible interior.
Cons:
  • Only 150 horsepower, engine noise at high rpms, initial demand will exceed supply.

    You dont have to buy a Honda to get relaibility. My PT has not been to the shop for any unscheduled repair, other than brake pads at 40K miles. This car does SO many things well, and it is really a bargain. I wish the economy was a little better, but thats my only complaint. It sis room and comfortable, and has great utility. I was even able to haul a clothes dryer home from sears, in the box with the hatch closed!

    What a piece of garbage this car is. The front suspension is so weak and clunky, no one can seem to fix it. Yes this car is fun to drive but I expect problems when I drive it. I dont Dare hit a pot hole because it sounds like the bottom is going to fall out. Never again will I buy a Chrysler.

    I love this car. It has features found on the more expensive cars. It is great to drive. You can see the road and it is easy to enter and exit the car. I will buy another cruiser. I hope it lasts as long as my Neon which has 167,000 miles and still going strong.

    I bought this car with 32000 miles, now has over 98000. Many long trips, no problems. Hwy miles=25mpg. Problems,rear window seal came loose. Runing light indicator stays on. Fun to drive and good looking. Have towed boat and had car loaded with camping gear. Very versatile and roomy.

    My old olds finally gave up the ghost and had to get another car. I wanted a pt since the first reviews came and wasnt dissapointed. I bought a used one and it is still as tight and quiet as a new one. I have two little daughters and they love it more than I do.

    After 107,000 miles I still am very fond of this car. Like the cargo capability. Have had many approving comments from total strangers on the car and the color. (Aqua Marine) Will willing cruise at 80mph all day if you ask that of it. With the Touring Suspension it corners very nicely. Great little car. Wish Chrysler would freshen the styling a little.

  • Its a Fun Little Car - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    Although somewhat underpowered, I set the cruise at 75 on the highway and have no problem. The kimited is pretty heavy and therefore rides very confortably - it also really affects the gase mileage.

    Its a beauty,,,but Ive had nothing but problems since day 1.They do not want to acknowledge that yes this vehicle does in fact have problems. #1 window molding fell off first week. steering fuel leaks.had a brake job done then 1-2 months,car is not doing more then 10 mil but the RPM are at 4. They tell me they see no problem. but keep the car for 2-3 weeks. they replace the master cyclinder brakes.it wasnt a year old yet. signal lights stop working if I use my hazard light.The sun has also damaged the d
