    Great car and fun to drive. Has good pickup for a 4cylander. Love it and will get a convertible as soon as it is available.

    A super performer and excellent quality. I just wish the Chrysler would stop upgrading. This is my 2nd Cruiser and I want a convertible.

  • Better than I imagined! - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    This car has been fantastic! We needed a vehicle to haul our new baby around and this was the perfect grocery getter with a punch! The turbo is a perfect addition and really completes the package. The 17 in wheels are great and the handling is taught yet forgiving. Granted its not the car you want for autocrossing but for spirited day-to-day driving (w/o baby). This is a great car. Cant wait for the first long road trip!

  • Car is worth the money - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    I purchased this car for my wife 3 years ago, and has handled beautifully. Being 62 I found that I had plenty of headroom and leg room, something that I could not find in other cars that were being considered. We average out 25,000 miles a year, and for long trips, this car performs well.

    I wanted a PT Cruiser from the day I first saw one! Its unique, its comfortable and has all the options I ever wanted. Great in town and on road trips. My next car will be a PT Cruiser too!

  • 2003 PT Cruiser GT (turbo) - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    Fun! Easy to enter and exit. Adults fit in back seat with room to spare. Turbo is very quick with virtually no turbo lag. Best assembled car I have bought. Has a wide turning circle that hinders parking in tight situation. Handling is good but feels better and very tied to the road with addition of rear sway bar.

  • Impressed all around! - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    I loved the style when it first came out. I was told it was cheaply made. But, recently I was able to purchase one that had 33K and in my budget. It is fully loaded and though the gas mileage could be better it still beats the Explorer I had. It has the roominess for me and more comfortable than my 4-runner. It handles really nice and I get lots of compliments on the looks. It has lots of room for my needs and I love the speed it puts out. It now has 48K on it and I drive it 80 miles a day to and from work. We had signage put on it for my Wifes business and it sure looks good on the Cruiser with a big yellow sunflower on the back of the onyx green pearl coat. It really stands out.

  • Dream cruser - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    After returning from overseas duty I purchased a Dream Cruser and took a 8000 mile trip in one week. After seting off with my two young boy on a camping trip toMtRushmore,Yellowstone, Stanley and Boise Idaho, Grand Canyon and the panhandle of Florida befor returning to Oklahoma City The car was flawless! I avradged 24 MPG, The manual shift was tight and came in handy through the canyons of the northwest states. The car has enoygh power to get your hart going. The sport handling was much better than expected. This car is full of suprises I can hall lts of camping gear and three people without a roof rack and the turbo just asked for more.
