Overview & Reviews

Classic styling and modern utility were the guiding forces behind Chrysler's PT Cruiser. Based loosely on the Neon platform, this small van offers a flexible interior, head-turning looks and, sadly, only 150 horsepower. A more powerful engine is already in the works.

• Unique styling, low purchase price, roomy and flexible interior.

• Only 150 horsepower, engine noise at high rpms, initial demand will exceed supply.

  Takes No Punches - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Betty - April 28 - 8:43 am

  I bought my PT Cruiser after I had rented one and survived a night of terrible storms (tornado ratings) in the midwest. We were blasted by baseball sized hail and winds that rocked street signs, trees, and cars around us. I put the car in park turned off the engine and we rode the storm with no difficulty. I felt safe as I could have been in a home. I took my car half way cross country and never had a problem all the way. Thanks Chrysler for a great vehicle.

  Stunning design with crappy drivetrain - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Clinton70 - April 27 - 3:00 pm

  If you want a car with one of the most awesome designs ever, in and out, and have alot of money to feed it gas, this is the car. Actually, the mileage is still better than a pickup truck but at 17 city and 22 highway, the V6 Mazda 6 and Buick LeSabres I had later had way better mileage and more power. Chrysler always knew how to make cool looking cars and put crappy engines and cheap plastics in them, even in 2008. Reliability was pretty good though, outside of a broken vent knob (plastic!), cupped tires, and even after a "fix", the alignment was still off. This car never left me for dead though and it went on a 4000+ mile trip to the west three times. It was the perfect road car too.

  Fun, Practical, 100% Reliable - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Yar Mosnar - April 24 - 10:00 am

  Having the first is always a gamble, but this vehicle has been 100% spot on. From delivery to over 30,000 miles: zero defects, zero problems. Change the oil and enjoy. Loaded with everything on it except the roof rack. Everything continues to work perfectly. From cross country trips with 4 adults, to hauling sod, Its been hands down excellent. Could you find a better vehicle? Im sure you can... for twice the money. The dealer experience has been outstanding. Would I buy another? You bet! But this time with the turbo. (Maybe a turbo convertible next year? - Chrysler, are you listening? - Put the turbo in it!)

  Great Inexpensive Car to own and insure - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Anastacia - March 7 - 10:00 am

  What a great fun car to own and drive. You can easily find one barely used. Chances are previous owners have babied their car and it is in great condition. With thier low intrests rates...can you afford not to own one?

  TEXASPTREVIEW - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By rogertexan - February 18 - 10:00 am

  Only one small problem with car. Gas cap didnt seal on 3rd year safety inspection. Car rides well..the standard shift is fun, especially in the mountains. I am glad I didnt by the automatic. Seats are firm and the car is very responsive.

  Love the car - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By fcryd - February 16 - 10:00 am

  I love my PT for its unique and functional styling and genuine fun to drive! The design concept of retro car and mini-mini van versatility is perfect for my needs. The upright seating position is a plus for stiff knees. Fit and finish are excellent and with the dual exhaust, running boards and detailing Ive added...its the coolest PT in these parts. Going for the Turbo!

  A Let Down - 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Chuckles - February 16 - 10:00 am

  This is a fun car to own. Cruiser owners seem to be somehow linked once on the road. It is common to exchange a "thumbs up" when passing a Cruiser. I am disappointed in the performance and the gas mileage to the point of wanting to sell the car although I will be holding on to it.
