This Year's Model Updates:

A soft-touch electric liftgate switch is now standard on base models of the Chrysler PT Cruiser wagon, along with remote keyless entry. A console floodlamp is included on all PT Cruiser wagons and convertibles.

Pros:
  • Distinct styling inside and out, roomy cabin with great utility, smooth ride, brisk acceleration on turbo models, value-oriented pricing.
Cons:
  • Tepid acceleration with the base engine, less-than-stellar fuel economy, awkward seating position for shorter drivers.

    i love my pt cruiser, i never get tired of it, or get tired of driving it...i love the cool vanilla color, but i wish that it was red cause thats my fav color, i love the ride its very comfortable and smooth, handling is amazing, i can zip around curves like a sports car...it has really good power for a non-turbo, well at least mine does...if you want a lil extra power add a cold air intake, it makes it a lil zippier plus it gives it a nice sounding growl...i love almost everything about the car except for the gas mileage it gets decent but i expected better...i just hate that chrysler is fixin to stop making them...i highly recommend this vehicle.

  • Not too sure - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    Very upset with this purchase. Have only had a few months and my engine light is on. Today as I drove it, it started bucking, wouldnt go over 30 mph. Ive read many reviews today about this being a common problem. (another site). The dealer cant get me in today, so Im SOL. I am paying quite a bit for this car, and having it for such a short amount of time and this is wrong. Not happy.

  • Happy - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    I had a Corolla but turning 50 I wanted to treat myself to something I could call mine. I dont like to spend a lot of money on cars. Driving this car makes me feel good and young like I want to just hit the open highways. So it burns a little more gas than most cars. Hey treat yourself. Dont leave too much behind because someone else will have no problem spending it. Happy motoring

  • My first love affair but on wheels! - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    Since I purchased my vehicle, it has worked in an excellent manner. I love how much space this car offers in its trunk! If you ever need more space, you can always fold the rear seat and get even more room! The stereo speakers sound nice and my stereo came with the AUX input so I can connect my phone to stream my Spotify playlists. The interior is gray so it can get dirty at times although I dont struggle with keeping it tidy. The only things I would have liked to see on this car would be better fuel mileage (I average around 24 in city and 26 in highway) and it can have loud cabin noise whenever I have to drive on train tracks. As for repairs, Ive only had to replace all my brakes since it made a screeching sound but if you keep it on constant watch, itll take care of you! Id recommend this retro ride to anyone and it even beats a Trax in terms of practicality in my opinion. Ill even want to buy a second PT Cruiser because it has been a reliable ride and I enjoy its practicality that the interior provides.

  • Fun - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    I just love my new PT Cruiser! Its bright red and my husband and I bought some aftermarket chrome to jazz it up more. We put the chrome beltline on it and chrome around the lights and added a wood-look dash/radio control kit. It is the 2CK option with the leather seats and chrome body side mouldings and chrome wheels. It is beautiful and fun. I love the way it handles and it has more pickup on the highway than my old 4-cylinder "Mommy Van" I get 19 city and 22 hwy mileage. Not great, but about what I got with my other 4 cylinder van. I can fold down and tumble up the seats to fit two dog crates in it and this weekend I fit an ocean kayak in it! It does everything I ask of it.

  • Second Time Not As Good - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    This is my second PT. The first was an 02. Both were five speed and got surprisingly good mileage-22/28. While I like the keyless entry on the 07 but the reliability has not been as good as the 02: I have replaced the AC fan (28000), THE CLUTCH (29000), and the control arms (31000). When I traded the 02 in on the 07 it had 73000 miles and the only thing I replaced were wheel bearings. The 5 speed is fun to drive addition to providing better acceleration-a common complaint-and better mpg.

  • Retirement Cruiser - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    Always loved this model, but the early models were costly. My 07 4 speed auto was a real bargain. I got the silver base model which i think goes best with the interior colors. Rented one for a few days, while my van was in the shop and fell for this baby!

  • Love my red badger cruiser - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    I bought my cruiser in July of 08 and its been running like a new car even though its had a lady bang into the drivers side doors. Before I even took it home I took it to Minnesota and my relatives said its really nice!

  • The Gangsters Helped - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    Attitude, humor and styling are what this vehicle is all about. PT Cruiser owners are a cult unto their own. The car is neither too big nor little. The seats are neither too hard nor soft. The engine is neither too powerful or a pussy cat. Owning a PT Cruiser is an adventure into selfish realism and being an owner of such an “AG” colored vehicle is youthful, courageous and magnificent. And that is all I have to say.

  • I thought i was driving a car, not SUV - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    Wow! Horrible gas mileage! I seriously thought there was something wrong with it when I got it, but apparently its in working order. How can I get 14 MPG in town in 4 cyl and only 22-24 highway. Please. I would expect this mileage from a mid to large size SUV not a car. This car needless to say is gone, or on its way out. Its not that the features or styling that I dont like, which I do, but when youre driving 150-300 miles per day, yea filling that puppy up everyday is just putting to many read numbers in quick book for me.
