This Year's Model Updates:

Taking a cue from custom cars of the past, Chrysler offers a flame-accented paint job on its popular retro-styled PT Cruiser. The optional flames, which are actually a decal. Also, two new trim levels debut this year: the Touring Edition (which was previously an option package) and the Dream Cruiser. A Woodie appearance option is also available.

Pros:
  • Head-turning styling, passenger/cargo flexibility, generous standard features list for price.
Cons:
  • No high-performance engine option (yet), tight cargo space when rear seat is in use.

    So far so good the build quality has been a very pleasant expierence. In the year and a half ive had this pt, it has not had, one problem at all that it needed to go back to the dealer for any warrenty work. And is it usful little hauler the amount of stuff it can hold is surprising. Even with auto. trans. performance is okay 90% of the time. im very happy with my PT

    A fun car to drive! The 5-speed has plenty of pick-up for my driving, both around town and on trips. It handles really nicely, and is very comfortable for both driver and passengers. There is plenty of room for whatever I need to carry, and my friends love to ride in it!

  • Best of the cruisers - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    Good mileage: 20-22 city, 25-28 hywy. Good power for a four cylinder. Absolutely NO problems, no squeeks, no rattles and the best part is its COOL. Draws a crowd and makes you proud to be an owner. PLUS, it hauls stuff!! The seats are removeable or fold flat,including the front passenger seat.Plenty of storage and cup holders and a slide out drawer under the front passenger seat. The Dream Cruiser comes standard with all available factory options, you need only to choose your favorite transmission.

    Solid car, no rattles or squeeks yet. Time will tell. I have the 5 speed. 1st gear is a little weak, but then it pulls pretty well. Very versatile. I would recommend it.

    I absolutely love my Pt cruiser. It is comfortable and stylish. I like the way it hugs the road. I have an anxiety of driving, but not in this car. I feel so safe. I have no regret about purchasing this car. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

    My husband and I purchased our PT Cruiser used with almost 60,000 miles on it in 2004.We have driven it a total of 29 months. It sat for about 9 months after being hit by a mid size SUV on the passengers side while riding in town. My three kids were in the car and everyone was safe.Today the car has almost 108,000 miles on it and drives great. We have had to replace the following items: rotors, brakes, calipers, tie rods and the radiator. The repairs were not as expensive as I had expected. I am often recieving compliments on the vehicle. I drive anywhere from 40-60 miles daily for work and couldnt have been happy this past summer with the price of gas being what it was
