  So cool its hot! - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By archiesowner - July 8 - 10:00 am

  Just back from a 2000-mile trip through the Canadian Rockies in a new GT Turbo loaded with 2 adults, 2 large dogs (back seats removed), 2 sets of golf clubs and baggage for a 7-day vacation. The car rocketed from A to B -- no problem keeping things in the 90-110 MPH range, our Patriot Blue GT wasnt fazed by altitude or exterior heat . The only vehicle to stay ahead of us was a new Porsche 911 -- as Voltaire said, "its never so fast that it couldnt be faster!"

  Crummy Cruiser - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Mary Roth - July 6 - 8:50 pm

  Before the warranty was up I had to have a new transmission and two new air conditioners. Since then, the AC has had to be fixed again (by someone other than the dealer.) The gas mileage is poor for a small car. This is a cute top on a Dodge Neon platform and I am very unhappy with it. The service from Tommy Manuel is very crummy and I would never buy from them again.

  My PT - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Mutthaus - July 3 - 10:00 am

  I have wanted a PT Cruiser since they appeared in the Chrysler catologue but my husband said they didnt have enough power. When they came out with the Turbo...there was no stopping me. I love to drive it. Everyone who drives it says what power it has. My husband has been coverted. I am amazed at what we are able to fit in this car!

  Eye Catcher - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By n1nj4r0u63 - May 28 - 12:50 pm

  To start off, the PT is a great vehicle. I love the hybridness of it, as I can haul people, haul large items, or just book it down the highway like a racecar. The seating position is very upright and gives the impression of an SUV. I have grown to appreciate the centrally located window controls (though it still is a bit odd sometimes). The car really needs a warning beep or light when the head/parking lights are on, either that or standard auto on/off. Silver with standard painted silver wheels gives the whole car a monochromatic look that glistens in the sun and is easily recognizable, keeps the interior cool as well. Overall, a very impressionable car!

  PT Bruiser - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Lingomaster - April 19 - 2:00 am

  My wife wanted a new car and the Cruiser was cute, practical and had sufficient space to haul antiques in. I agreed with her selection criteria, yet I was able to persuade her to wait until the 2003 model came out. I test drove a 2002 Limited Edition, which lacked some extra oomph to catch up to its cuteness and functionality. Our PT Turbo offers just that and more. Overtaking other vehicles is no longer a chore. No, it has indeed become a pleasure to leave others standing in place. Here, on the Autobahns of Germany, our Patriot Blue Cruiser feels right at home when it can strut its stuff at 100mph plus. My wife is now happy we waited too.

  Average - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser

  4 cyinder front wheel drive some automatics. It is quite clearly a girls car. It looks the part. That is all.

  Undercover Rocket Ship Car - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Darth Car Master - April 15 - 5:54 pm

  My 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser GT has 215 horsepower. It can go 120-130 Kilometres per hour without struggling like some cars do on the highways. It can take on a Ford Mustang sports car while looking like a crossover wagon/minivan. I have not floored the gas peddle to the maximum yet, because it scares me a little to have the Cruiser go all out. I fear unleashing its full power so I hold back. The GT version is not a sleeper of a car like the base model is.

  2003 dream cruiser - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Putter - April 10 - 2:03 am

  I just purchased a 2003 Dream Cruiser. I was impressed by the overall fit and finish inside. I have been a foreign car owner for many years and I am very impressed with my Cruiser. The power is substantial even going up to flagstaff (6% grade) the car handles and accelerates effortlessly and is very solid. the interior is surprisingly very versatile and plenty of room for really anything. The dog loves her backseat and has more room than my subsequent vehicle. There are a very few issues, broken fog light, not-so-great gas mileage and some fragile plastic parts (fog light housing etc). I am overall very happy with the decision to buy this car.

  Better than expected - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Bigturk - March 2 - 10:00 am

  We especially like the trunk configuration with the shelf for place items that could break, like eggs or glass when we do our shopping. It is easier to get a 50-pound sack of dog food out of the Cruiser than out of the Taurus we sold. Like the way it sits and handles. Enough power, but needs better gas mileage.
