Overview & Reviews

A convertible joins the PT Cruiser lineup for 2005.

• Distinctive styling inside and out, spacious cabin with multiconfigurable rear seats, smooth ride, spirited acceleration on turbo models, reasonable pricing.

• Acceleration can be sluggish with base engine, awkward seating position for shorter drivers, unimpressive fuel economy.

  New Cruiser - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By texag - October 1 - 2:00 am

  Just bought my new Touring convertable last weekend. Drove down country roads near my home, and was very pleasantly surprised how smooth the ride was. This is the most fun to drive car I have ever owned.

  Just got one - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Paul from Pomona - October 1 - 2:00 am

  Great speed and acceleration, with great handeling. Tight with an unexpected quiet. The most fun Ive had driving in a long while. Great back seat, with comfort and not too much wind/noise. It feels like a big sports car. The best of both - sports and sedan. Fun watching the heads turn.

  Survived a Deer! - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By marymary - September 21 - 10:36 pm

  I love this car like I have no other! Fun to drive with the top down and turbo roaring. This week a deer ran in front of me while I ws driving about 35mph. The impact didnt feel bad, felt like someone threw a basketball at the car. The deer was unfortunately killed. When I assessed the damage I was surprised how extensive it was. Bent hood and radiater, dented left fender, bent both grills...about $4K in all. I am so impressed at how little impact that I felt (airbags did not deploy.) The 2006 safety rating just came out and were excellent for PTs. The survivability of an accident in this car vs. a larger vehicle had always gnawed at me a bit...now I feel better.

  05 Base model A/T - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Roscoe - August 16 - 11:20 pm

  I bought this car for my wife. It has been very useful and enjoyable mainly because it has a large cargo area but doesnt look like a bloody minivan! It is very stylish inside and out and is comfortable and roomy for us both (we are both tall). It has been perfectly reliable so far. I cant believe we payed only $13,880 for this new car when it listed for $17,220. Its fun to drive and really looks good in Inferno red.

  Cruising - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By GBoy - August 14 - 10:00 am

  This is my second PT Cruiser, purchased a 2001 in April of 2000. The convertible is well made, quiet for a Rag Top. The "Smart Glass" is a design triumph. Even the base 2.4L moves the car well enough. The gearing in the 2005 is higher than my first Cruiser. Better gas mileage and fewer RPMs at highway speeds in 5th gear. It is fun to drive and looks great.

  A Crowd Stopper - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Patrick Waszkiewicz - August 9 - 10:00 am

  I took my P.T. Cruiser out west for a 5000 mile shake down cruise. I was astouded by the power,economy,comfort and the amount of attention from strangers.Everytime I stopped,I recieved positive comments, and people giving the thumbs up as we cruising on the Interstates.People were taken by the design,the idea of a convertible really fasinated a lot of people.

  Pleasantly Satisfied - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Mike Sr - August 9 - 10:00 am

  Exceptional ride for a smaller vechile. Plenty of cargo space with the fold down and tilt rear seats. The 180 hp gives this vechile plenty of pep and gas mileage on the highway is at 28 mpg. Fun to drive and turns alot of heads in your direction. Great car for the money.

  PT Cruiser Convertible GT - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By g. pogan - May 23 - 1:13 pm

  Handles well in snow, easy to enter and exit for 6foot 6 inch 240 lb. 65yr old. really handles well on 4 lane and turnpikes at 80 with stability and good handling characteristics. Solid feel to vehicle and no rattles or squeaks, top fits tight with no air noise and roll bar keeps cabin quiet with top down. An excellent buy, for a distinctive car that doesnt look like everything else on the road.
