  Pain in the Butt - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By unhappy in GA - December 3 - 6:13 am

  I bought this car for a franchise that I later sold but kept the car. At 20K miles it needed new brake pads & rotors and again at 40K miles!! The A/C compressor died at 30K. Now, the check engine light is coming on and it is driving very rough. There is only 40K miles on this car, folks! I would never have bought a Chrysler if it was not the car of choice for the franchise I owned at the time and will NEVER buy one again.

  Nice, sporty and fun car - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By CA Paul - November 5 - 11:46 am

  Have had this PTC for about 2 mos. It was a previously owned rental vehicle and was in very good condition (in and out). It rides smoothly, has a nice road feel and get around 25 mpg (overall). Its not a very economical city driver (below 20 mpg) but most folks (like me) use primarily highway. I get people commenting about it all the time. They/I like the styling (the convertible looks much nicer than the sedan), the color (opal) and the fact that is can seat passengers in the back-seat with reasonable comfort. The trunk is a bit small but slightly above average, for a convertible. The 16" alloy wheels are sharp (but I will soon replace the Goodyear tires - which are awful).

  New purchase/old car - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Henry Reitz - September 25 - 6:22 pm

  Just recently purchased my ptc. So far, I love it. It has low miles for the year and is in excellent condition. I have put about 2000 miles on it so it is difficult to rate anything other than performance. I only average about 17 mpg in all city driving and am very disappointed in that. I have previously owned a 1999 Chevy Tracker an got about 20mpg on it doing the same type of driving under the same conditions.

  used and nothing but issues - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By nicoleo - August 24 - 10:09 am

  this is my very first car. ive had it since October for my birthday. nothing but problems the thing leaks oil like no tomorrow breaks had to be changed a week or so after I got it while changing the breaks my dad noticed that the outside tire rods where hanging on by a thread that scared me quite a bit. the acceleration sucks! in Canada gas is cheap like 90cents a L so it takes about $25 to fill it from just under half. driving to school there and back is 30 ish km and 30 to the city cant wait to get rid of it!

  LOVE MY PT CONVERTIBLE - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By curtpcadillac - July 13 - 8:46 pm

  I love my 2007 PT Cruiser Convertible. Ive had it for 3 and 1/2 years and have put a little over 18,000 carefree miiles on it. Well, the CD player has had a CD stuck in it since it was a month old and the front wheels love brake dust... but that was a homemade CD - so maybe it was our fault, and I dont mind cleaning the wheels (very easily done.) The only bad thing about the car is the gas mileage. My other car is a Lincoln Town car, and it averages around 14 MPG (in a very hilly area just outside of Pittsburgh, PA). My PT with a 4 cyl only averages 17MPG. I was thinking it was because I only drive it on such a limited basis (but after reading the reviews - I have discovered diff.)

  Buy it youll like it - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By even13 - July 1 - 10:00 am

  Bought this car used with 18K miles for my wife, she shops a lot and needed something to haul her "stuff" around, I have always liked the body style so it was an easy sell it now has 60k. I find that I enjoy driving the car it handles well, power isnt what you buy one of these for but it had enough to get my first ticket in 30 plus years, my other car is a 2001 mustang go figure, the PT is a great little car for the money fun to drive just wish the mileage was better. I get 23 to 25 mpg

  Style monster - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By tt-rexxx - June 13 - 5:53 pm

  I am retired. Great car/suv for short trips. Entry comfort is perfect/style has no equal. No mechanical problems. Cheap to buy and maintain and insure. Production has ended at the end of 2009. Parts will be available for years. I think Chrysler made a mistake in getting rid of this one. HHR sales have never equaled PTs. This car/suv will be a retro classic and we all want to go back to the past.

  Mistake - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Fred Tuttle - February 7 - 2:02 am

  Purchased new. Underpowered, yet relatively poor mileage (16 city, 24 highway), has always consumed an excessive amount of oil (about 0.1 qt per 100 miles), and a turn radius that once got caused a traffic stop for suspicion of DUI. Besides ordinary and expected service: A/C fan controller failed at 35 K, again at 70 K and again at 100 K; A/C evaporator core at 80 K; cam shaft sensor at 66 K, followed by a cylinder head at 80 K; passenger seat airbag sensor failed at 70 K; transmission failed at 90 K; and weirdly, three of four in the initial set of tire went flat within first 25 K, with no further problems after they were replaced. Approximate excess repair cost to date: $15 K. Total cost to purchase and operate to 100K: $0.47 per mile plus insurance/interest. Bottom line: nice styling, reasonably roomy and comfortable, but better, cheaper options were available.

  Bad Brakes at 20K - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By wwkwcw03 - November 14 - 9:16 am

  I always loved the look of the PT so I broke down and bought one in 2007. Since my purchase have had it in the shop 4 times for check engine light and now I am having to replace the brakes and rotors and barely have 20K miles. Service personnel said they have had this trouble with the PT Cruisers. Why didnt they tell me that when I bought it? No wonder Chrysler is needing a bailout when they make such bad cars. I have never bought a new car that needed any major mechanical work before 30K and most didnt need work until 60K miles. I am very disappointed in this car and will never buy a Chrysler again.
