  Absolutely loved this car? - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By itsjuanaa - February 1 - 5:31 am

  I had a 2002 Pt Cruiser Limited addition automatic. It was my first car after turning 16. It wasnt my first choice, but I fell in love with it. We purchased it from a dealership in 2013 from where I live. Gas mileage was ok. dashboard did crack in several places. The only other problem I had was my timing belt went out. Its durability is amazing. I ended up having a few accidents in it before I totaled it when a deer hit me. It drove so smoothly. I totaled it with 119,000 miles on it. It was great while I had it.

  MY PT - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By tommy - January 15 - 6:23 pm

  My family bought our PT Cruiser in August 2002 about 9 months after my aunt had just bought one of her own. Compared to our other Daimler-Chrysler models (97 Jeep Cherokee, 03 Dodge Dakota) The PT has held up the best, gets the best gas mileage and the biggest problem we have had with it is changing the tires at only 20k. Our repairman said that DC has been putting low grade (20k or less) tires on all new models in order to save money.

  Cruisin - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By eclark - November 12 - 2:53 am

  Chrysler provided a way to watch the development of the PT Cruiser all the way through the design stage. I followed the process and always wanted to own one. Finally in 2005 I got my chance. I have not been disappointed in the least. The interior flexibility is amazing. The comfort is excellent. I get question after question about my PT Cruiser at gas stations and stop lights. Driving my PT Cruiser is an all around fun experience.

  Bill Ds 2003 Blue P.T. - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By bd smith - September 24 - 10:00 am

  The Cruiser is just plain fun. The interior is deceptively roomy, classically appointed, and combined with very unique exterior lines and styling. Removable 65/35 tumble seats nearly converts the rear to a bed and breakfast. The basic 4 cylinder will not give you whiplash, but will allow you to pop and go when needed. Road handling and steering are firm with a comfortable "seat of the pants" manueverability

  Happy and shocked - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Black - September 19 - 10:00 am

  Overall I have been very happy with my PT. I like its reliability, style, and comfort. It is a well built vehicle. The one shock I received today was that the front rotors are non-turnable, in other words they are throw away rotors according to my dealer. I have owned other vehicles for many years and miles and I have never had a problem with worn out rotors. My PTs rotors had to be replaced after only 30,000 miles.

  My PT - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By 1jerry1 - September 1 - 10:00 am

  We bought a PT to fill a void in our transportation needs. We needed a vechicle that we could take others in. All out other vechicles only transported 2 people. Also we did not want to spend a large amount on a car that would be used very little. This car will carry 4 adults and a child very comfortably and it rides like a much bigger automobile. Also a luxury equiped model with all the options was priced fairly. Fuel economy and performance are adequate but not impressive. Style, comfort, handling, and versatillity are great. Very quite inside as long as all windows and sunroof are closed. A very well designed vechicle and no problems at all.

  Fun car - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By budoinst - July 24 - 10:00 am

  We just purchased the Cruiser and got it loaded---Woody, sunroof, spoiler, etc. Unusally quiet, solid and fun to drive around. Extremely well done interior and exterior and very comfortable. The automatic could be better suited in gearing, but gets me where I need to go. The braking and handling are first rate and the accessibility and combination of seat movement is staggering and well laid out. A fun car that could only use a bit of power boosting.

  FANTASTIC !!! - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Pammie - July 15 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car used and its the best thing I could have ever bought. I absolutely LOVE it. Handles good, tho the U-turn capability is somewhat limited. I will definitely buy another one.

  We have a Love / Hate Relationship - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Yankeemare - July 2 - 2:03 am

  I LOVE this car and HATE the constant repairs! 2 full sets of brakes in 3 years, new transmission at 80,000 miles, fog lights wont turn off - had to have the lights disconnected, but the LCD interior light stays on all the time, engine overheating, water pump, thermostat, timing belt and serpentine belt being replaced as we speak (97,000 miles). I love the design, comfort, interior, passenger and cargo capacity, and its very easy to get my grandson in and out of his car-seat in the back seat. Im shopping for another hatchback but it sure wont be a PT Cruiser and that makes me very sad. If Chrysler could up the reliability quotient, Id be a PT Cruiser buyer / owner forever

  Love My Cruiser - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By suescruise - June 25 - 10:00 am

  In 25,000, no problems. Love this car. The PT is fun, versatile, and plenty responsive. I have the woody sides and the car gets lots of attention. I was scared to buy American, but I wouldnt hesistate to buy another one.
