Overview & Reviews

• Head-turning styling, passenger/cargo flexibility, generous standard features list for price.

• No high-performance engine option (yet), tight cargo space when rear seat is in use.

  Great Car changed my life! - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By pt dude - January 5 - 10:00 am

  I love this car! Retro out of the box look plus very easy to customise to make the PT you OWN! You can design your car the way you want it by adding many aftermarket parts to the car. Plus there are many PT Cruiser car clubs all over the country. I joined one and it changed my life. New friends with common interests!

  Sweet Little Car with Big Attitude - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By mbrayson - October 28 - 2:00 am

  I enjoy every minute I spend with this car. Its cute, it rides nice, has a nice radio, its comfortable. Its stylish and whimsical looking on the outside but very practical and versatile on the inside. Still impressed with the solid build quality... does not feel like a cheap little car.

  As Good As It Gets, Fun, Fun, Fun - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Wipandgail - October 14 - 10:00 am

  I ordered my PT, the first day they could be ordered, and had the 3rd one in town. It has never missed a beat. NO PROBLEMS!! NONE. As most PT owners will tell you it is a little underpowered. I have that cured with my next PT, Which is the 2003 Turbo Dream Cruiser II, which I have on order...Chrysler did their homework before making the Pt, and did it right.

  Loving my Dream Cruiser - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Peter - September 20 - 2:06 am

  I driven my cruiser from Rhode Island to North Carolina and then to Florida within a week and I had no problems, either mechanically or comfort wise. Drove for a few hours between fill-ups, between 300 and 400 miles depending on the A/C usage. Couldnt ask for a better looking or driving car for me.

  my pt at 8.5k miles - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By tmzsr - July 21 - 10:00 am

  At 8.5k I have been please, but disappointed in economy. Ride is good and firm, turn radius a bit wide. It could use some power, once it shifts from low, second is weak moving comfortably in multi-lane traffic over 35 mph without full throttle downshift. Seats are firm, storage is good, take out rears are great, CD radio is nice, but speakers are weak. Exterior emblems have rough edges and snag most cleaning and polishing materials; bumper finish too rough (catches polish no matter how hard you try to prevent it).

  PT Cruiser is Reliable - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By PT Cruiser Reliable - July 8 - 5:16 am

  The PT Cruiser is a very reliable car with routine maintenance. I have owned a different model car with each of the 5 new car purchases I have made in my lifetime. I would rate the Cruiser as one of the top. It is very reliable and has not had any major repairs. I stay very close to the maintenance schedules and have driven this car all over the US in every sort of weather without issues. I plan to give this car to my soon to be licensed teen. The leg room and posture makes you feel like your driving a mini-van (I had an knee injury and a stretched out leg wasnt feasible). The ability to remove the back seats make it as convenient as a van if you need to carry lots of cargo.

  Love my PT!!!! - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Steph1163 - July 3 - 2:30 am

  I bought this car in 2006 with only 2800 miles on it! I got very lucky. I have always had great luck with the car. The only problem I have had is that the light cover for the windows roll up fell out. My PT has been the most reliable car I have owned!!!

  230k still running strong - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By DZ - June 20 - 10:00 am

  Bought it used from a friend with 12k on it. The only things I have had to do is timing belt, three clutchs, three crankshaft sensors, radiator fan, front bushings and the rear crank for the stabilizer. Other than that just change the oil and brakes. This car has never left me stranded. Fun to drive, very comfortable. To me this is all just maintenance and part of owning a car. Next week Im changing the timing belt again cause its that time. Going for 300k.

  My 2002 Pt - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By my pt - June 10 - 4:26 pm

  I bought my PT NEW and I love it and I have great gas mileage. I would not sell this car I love this car. I love driving it and it is fun. I have a good pick up speed with it and I would buy another one if I have too.
