  Cruising in Style - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Steelcity57 - July 16 - 10:00 am

  Overall, the vehicle looks great and handles great. It reacts well too. You feel every bump in the road but this is no different from other vehicles in its class. I think fuel economy should be better. I average what the fuel economy sticker averages says 21 to 25 mpg. I am happy with my purchase.

  Solidly built car - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By indianasmith - July 10 - 10:00 am

  Best car I ever owned for reliability, comfort & style. More fun to drive around town than my wifes Lexus. Gas milage is so so. Utility is better than a larger wagon. Turning radius is a minus.

  Best family car I have owned in years, large interior, easy in and out of car movement. Has power in the Mountains as well as in town. Hope they continue to make this PT CRUISER Forever

  Ugly Little Car - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By dsundancer - May 28 - 10:00 am

  Before my wife test drove one, she only refered to the PT as, "that ugly little car". When i was replacing MY car, she didnt think she even needed to test drive one as I would be the "primary driver". Now, i dont even bother to keep a key for it on my chain as its now, "HER ungly little car". We both love the ride and the power is adequate to any task we can even imagine...and we travel a lot. The seat flexibility is something Jeep could take a lesson from. It handles great, is quite spacious for even 5 and production quality and appointments are as good as it gets in this price range. PS: I now drive my wifes "old" car.

  Awesome Cruiser! - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Linda Leake-Beard - May 28 - 10:00 am

  I have a 4 door 5 speed manual transmission. I have longed for one since I saw the very first one. This car has lots of power and if I do feel I need a boost, I can downshift and punch it and she really takes off. Funny thing, the factory sound system was pretty impressive also. I love the looks of the car, I like how you sit in it, up where you can see. All the controls are easily accessible. My cousin bought one the first year they came out. I dont even think he actually saw one before he ordered his. He hauls a trailer with it and he loves his as much as I do mine. His is also the 4 door 5 speed model.

  Excellent--Exceptional for the Price - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Rich Douglas - May 28 - 10:00 am

  I waited, watching others looking like they were having fun driving the PT Cruiser, until the turbo edition came out. The major complaint was the lack of power, and this was largely fixed with the new engine. The interior is well-appointed, but the stock stereo isnt very powerful. (But the 6-disc changer is nice, as well as the multiple speakers.) It looks cool, its pretty fast, and its fun to drive both in the city and down the highway. Highly recommended!

  Great car, great deal - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By GT-Driver - April 21 - 10:00 am

  I looked around for a unique looking vehicle with solid performance. I almost bought an Audi A4, but then the turbo version of the PT arrived. One minute into the drive and I was hooked! It has great performance, exceptional styling, decent mileage, great sound, versatile interior, nice cloth seats, crowd-pleasing Autostick, and snow-beating traction control. For around $20k, it was perfect for me.

  After owning a PT Cruiser for 1 year 1 month and 3 days the transmission died. Two days after repair the vehichle died again. After owning several vehichle 1 year and multiple issues. I am convinced I will never purchase a chrysler again.
