  1 of the best cars ived owned - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By blkgt - July 5 - 11:26 am

  The gt had very good bones! I have added heart throb 2&1/2" duals k&n filter ,jet performance chip, MB spark wheels, mini antenna, sound deadening, rear fender inter liners,and removed a little chrome, also replaced the goodyear factory tires with hankook, also installed heat shield for the spare tire. The duals and wheel&tire changes were best. 24.9 mpg to L.A. 25.1 on return. mixed hwy and city. Lots of room for Art easels and large picture frames. Chose GT over Magnum for usable space and performance. Magnun was a hemi but had power robbing 22 in. wheels.

  No problems here I love it! - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By djk10 - May 28 - 12:30 pm

  Besides normal ware and tare breaks tires etc. This car has been a blast to own. I just paid it off and after a set of tires and my normal full tune up it has been better than any car that I have ever owned! Lots of room to haul groceries etc. I dont understand all the complaints I believe if you take care of a car routinely it will run great I bought it 3 years old 18k miles I deliver in it everyday 160k still going strong

  best of all worlds - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By graphicguy - March 23 - 2:00 am

  Started looking for a "hauler" to do chores I would never attempt in my "regular" car. I looked at: Pick-ups--not my cup of tea minivans--definitely not my cup of tea SUVs--never go offroading, never had problems driving in snow before Vibe/Matrix--no low end torque Protege Wagon--no power Subaru WRX--not very quick with an automatic trans (which I need for my wife), no need for AWD That brought me to the PT GT: -its fast, very fast -handles as well or better than the Protege -sterling build quality -very reconfigurable for tons of room -best looking of anything out there

  FINE WITHOUT TURBO - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By PlanoGuy - March 17 - 2:00 am

  Weve had our LTD for almost 4 months, 2270 mi, and do not regret taking a pass on the GT model. The LTD rides a little nicer than the GT, and I have no problem getting up to 80mph on the Tollway when its my turn to drive for our 4 person call pool. No rattles or problems so far. MPG is lower than I expected, hovering around 20mpg. Acceleration is no problem in town, and its just a matter of kicking it in if you have to have a surge of power. Passengers rave about the comfort, and ease of access. Cargo space is great. The LTD is a great value. Save purchase costs and the costs of premium fuel and lower gas milage by taking a pass on the GT.

  LOVE My Barney - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Shalley - February 18 - 10:00 am

  COOL-factor is over-the-top. Auto is little sluggish on green (hence the name "Cruiser"), but when going, really has pep. Int is totally retro & cool, & stereo sounds incredible. 20 Mpg nothing to scream about, but just a total blast to cruise around in. Cranberry color hard to keep clean, but put some effort, it is gorgeous. Nasty smell out of air cond sometimes, so watch out. Seems to be a "norm". Has SO much room in the back, cant fill it. Nose gets "dinged-up" easy, but touch-up paint ($12.95) takes care of that (or a bra at $150). So cute & totally trendy & awesome! Cant believe some people dont like the PT Cruiser.

  PT Mania - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By CindyD - January 24 - 10:00 am

  I have had my Cruiser for just a little over three months and have a lot of fun with it. It is very good on gas, handles well, and drives better than some cars I have had previously.

  Fuzzys finds - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Carol Smith - November 4 - 2:00 am

  Ive turned on the windshield wipers a few times by mistake. The A/C & heat are a problem to adjust so far. Its got alot of pep.It turns on a dime.Handles great.The radio is very good --less static. I like the sunroof & heated seats. Most things are convenient. a sunroof that opens in both directions--for less noise. The window controls are located in the middle,so both driver & passenger can use them. The only thing I didnt like is, the gauge for P-N-D-R is located a little low for me.

  Nothing Serious... - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By northernpt - September 19 - 1:43 am

  We spend 6 weeks driving to and thru Alaska and back (over 10,000) and enjoyed every minute of it. The car handled long hours of operation with out any problems. When the car had 90,000 kilometers it did experience electronic problems which required new Computer modules, spark plugs and wiring very costly. With proper tires it travels well in rain and snow....

  I love my PT Cruiser! - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Vera Conner - September 5 - 2:00 am

  Chrysler outdid themselves this year when they created the Dream Cruiser 2 in Tangerine Pearl Metallic. I have had more compliments on that car then any other car that I have owed in the last 20 years. My performance of the turbo exceeds anything that I have driven. Fun to drive!
