Overview & Reviews

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.

• Head-turning styling, passenger/cargo flexibility, generous standard features list for price.

• No high-performance engine option (yet), tight cargo space when rear seat is in use.

  Mellifluous! - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Brouhahaataja - June 17 - 2:00 am

  Mellifluous means "smooth and sweet, like honey." Thats this car. I got it a couple days ago and it has been an absolute joyance. The amount of features is incredible, the most important being the nice ride. Bumps that used to torture my old cars are all but forgotten in this one (I mean, you feel them, but you dont FEEL them). Yes, it has its negatives--a light weight that makes me question its winter fortitude, and 20-25 mpg is a lot less than what Im used to--but I kept my old car for those things. Overall, though, its a great car. Granted, I havent had it very long--but if anything goes awry, Ill be sure to write back!

  I call it Hercule - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Mahler - May 30 - 2:00 am

  The most fun I have ever had with a car. Sporty, yet functional and comfortable. When you close the door or hatch, it feels solid and not flimsy like some other cars under 20k. It has the best headlights I have ever had on a vehicle and it seems to hug the road very well for a smaller car. When I am on the highway, the big rigs dont push me around.

  Car from HELL - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Charrissa - May 6 - 1:06 am

  I HATE this car. I can not wait to get rid of it. My main computer went out a few months after I bought it which cost me $3000 to fix. Few months later my fog lights wouldnt turn off, which killed my battery stranding me many times. I had to remove the fuse that controls it. Currently my car makes a horrible noise (similar to a cats fighting) only when I turn to the right. It also makes horrible sounds when I first turn it on and drive. Turning radius stinks and so does the gas. I will NEVER EVER buy a Chrysler again.

  Dream Cruiser - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Peterb - April 6 - 10:00 am

  I have had my PT Cruiser for about 8 months and lots of places that i go I get complimented on my car. I enjoy the look and style of the PT as it is unique. I have driven several hours at a time and find the drive to be comfortable and relaxing, even though traffic usually isnt. I have only positive things about my PT Cruiser to tell anyone.

  First Year Gremlins Plaque My PT Cruiser - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By PT-Loser - February 24 - 7:10 pm

  This car is the worst ever owned. Poor mileage (average 16 MPG), poor performance. It stalls when cold. The clutch slipped from day one. The engine has always had a rough idle, and is the loudest ever owned. Paint started flaking after 6 months. Door trim has broken off twice. Drivers seat has been replaced. The clock wont keep time, and every CD played skips. On windshield number 4. They seem to crack from stress. Front windows have came off the track twice. Burns a quart of oil a week.

  Body Creaking Noise - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Ernie Weber - February 22 - 5:40 pm

  Wife and I love this car which now has 79000 miles. Trouble free with great ride and handling and versatility. For the past year we have had a creaking noise in the chassis. Local mechanic cannot locate nor could local dealer. This noise occurs primarily after coming out of a right hand turn. Not while driving straight. Bouncing up and down while standing still fails to duplicate the noise. Has anyone had this problem and how was it fixed?

  The Perfect Car - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Mami - February 19 - 5:20 pm

  I absolutly LOVE my PT Cruiser. Sure it could use a bit more power like everyone states but Im not in that big of a hurry. This car handles well, is very comfortable and I love all the space inside. I use to drive a small Hatchback and didnt want to loose that style but I wanted something a bit bigger than say a Mini. This car has everything I need and no wasted space. I highlt recommend the PT.
