  • Reliable Transportation with Comfort - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    Purchased this car used in 2008 a Limited Auto-trans (drop down menu didnt have an auto choice) with 14000 miles on it. Moonroof. It never let me down or left me stranded. I just recently sold it last week with 40000 on it. This car ride is very pleasant. On long trips 200+ miles seats can be uncomfortable, but after a stretch you can continue. Flexible interior lay out allows you to haul lots of "stuff" and at times I have filled this car up with almost as enough stuff that I could fit in a pick up. Fuel economy wasnt great, although with age seemed to get better, best I got was 25 mpg with tail wind, worst in city with lots of stop signs was 13.8 mpg.

  • Nice car, but... - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    Nice car. Comfortable, with high seating. Aligning the mirrors is important since there are some potential blind spots. Gas mileage poor. This fairly light weight wagon only gets about 22 - 24 mpg on long drives. My 1995 explorer with 275,000 miles got the same. City mileage is far better, however. Highway ride is a bit noisy, but not objectionable. Sporty maneuvering is not in the cars job description. My explorer again could hold a tight curve much better, and the turning radius was tighter. However, the car looks cool, with nice amenities. For replacement, I will be looking at the Kia soul or forte, or the Hyundai elantra touring.

  • I Love This Car!!! - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    I had a 2006 Chrysler Sebring that was hit and totaled by a drunk driver. I needed a new car, so I decided on a PT Cruiser. I have the Touring Edition with a 5-speed manual, and I love it. Even though it has the 4-cylinder engine, it will get up and go fast. Love the space, and love the dashboard design. Gas mileage could be better, but thats more me than the car. I also love the color, Opal Metallic. Overall, the car is a great ride and versatile too!

    The mileage is just awful. How could a 4 cyl compact car in 07 get such bad mileage? Shame on you Chrysler. I have under 20K Mi and have been to the dealer 4 times. My PT stalled out on me 2 times! Embarassing for a new car. Check Eng light came on and off regularly, finally it was diagnosed as oxygen sensor. Clear lens on dash developed 2 cracks, A/C made noise when recurculate was turned on and off. All fixed politely by my accomodating dealer, however it is a hassle. I dread long term reliability and would sell right now if not for huge loss. Front seats have stains from water spills? Should have gone for the HHR for the extra 3-4K $. I do not recomend this car

  • amazed at the fun of it - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    recently purchased my 2007 cruiser and couldnt be happier. i was recently in a pretty bad accident in another car and it became totaled so when i was looking to buy another car i wanted something i knew would feel safe. i test drove other cars the cobalt and the mazda 6 but they didnt feel right i got in the cruiser and feel in love i couldnt be happier with how it drives and how much fun everyone has getting in it and driving around. Im only 20 but i do a lot of traveling with friends and need the extra space that i didnt have in my other car.

  • LOVE IT - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    Bought a 2007 touring, mars blue color with 23k miles on it (was a rental car), rides great, inside pretty comfy, love the blue dash, fun as heck to drive, 2.4L has good pickup, wish glove compartment locked and had the chilling feature like the Caliber, my gas w/local driving is 14.6-14.9 with no change in 1 month so that is terrible. My dad would have loved the 50s feel!!

  • More fun than expected, so-so on gas - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    Rented a PT Cruiser for a week long trip through the Florida Keys. It was MUCH more "fun" than I would have expected - Im 63 and the driving position was more comfortable than most vehicles. The Touring Turbo has pretty good pick-up and handling was really good for such a tall vehicle. VERY impressed with the fit and finish.

  • What Was I Thinking - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    Biggest mistake of my life.....and that includes 2 ex wives. My 1973, lime green Chevy Pinto was better than this car.
