This Year's Model Updates:

Taking a cue from custom cars of the past, Chrysler offers a flame-accented paint job on its popular retro-styled PT Cruiser. The optional flames, which are actually a decal. Also, two new trim levels debut this year: the Touring Edition (which was previously an option package) and the Dream Cruiser. A Woodie appearance option is also available.

Pros:
  • Head-turning styling, passenger/cargo flexibility, generous standard features list for price.
Cons:
  • No high-performance engine option (yet), tight cargo space when rear seat is in use.

  • 2002 PT - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    Since i have had the pt it has been awesome, fun to drive, quick, the only problem is it only has 40,000 on it and needed front end work, the place were i bought it would not fix it. Other than that i love my candy apple pt. Oh it also needs the retro sound, needs to be a little more louder. Rmc

  • Solid Ride - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    I was concern about the high price of this vehicle, the low crash ratings for the driver (2 stars)in the 2001 models, and the poor gas milage (20-22 mpg city). Still, I have been impressed at how well this car is designed, both in terms of space, comfort, and design-- just very artistic. In time I have come to like this car a lot--crash ratings for 2002 model are now good & milage continues to improve.

  • Great Car changed my life! - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    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 -

    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

    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 -

    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.
