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.

  2Cool - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Bob and Ruby - May 22 - 2:00 am

  We took the backseats out, loaded it up with everything but the sink and drove to the coast 350 miles away. It handled great on the Hwy, mileage could have been better, and never missed a beat at 70 MPH. We love this car. We have a lot of hills to navigate in our area and snow can be a problem. My wife drives it with confidence, and thats saying a lot.

  Cat with a PT Cruiser - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Jamie Clemons - May 21 - 12:26 am

  We go a used PT Cruiser for a steal and have not had any major problems with it. We really enjoy driving it. It is like any other car you have to take care of it. It has all sorts of bells and whistles power everything and a moon roof. Its comfortable and fun and me and my wife both like it.

  PT Just Cruises - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Uncle Al - May 13 - 8:30 pm

  Great looks, Great value, great uses,but it needs more get-up-and go. An add on supercharger for a nominal charge would be great. Also wonder what 2002 owners, before the 7yr-100,000 warranty extension, can do to find out if they are included- retroactivly.

  bought 02 Pt Cruiser base used - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By ptlover45 - May 12 - 1:32 pm

  I wanted the PT since it first came out. I got a used (11K miles ) base , 5 spd, ac, combo cassette -cd player, fog lights, privacy glass. Drove it for 33K miles. replaced front wiper motor under warranty. 18 mpg ( city ) 35 (hwy) never added oil. Suede interior much classier than the no-stain interior in my 07 PT. gauges set too deep in dash to be read in sunlight. GREAT STYLING.

  Lovinit - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By curlydawn - May 4 - 2:00 am

  I love this car. Accelleration could be much better, gas mileage is lower than expected for a 4 cyl engine. Otherwise, there isnt a thing I dont enjoy. I have put about 30,000 miles on my PT and havent had a single issue. Please buy this car, its comfortable, stylish and very very cool.

  I like it - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By glover - April 17 - 9:00 pm

  This is a happy car to drive,I have never had a vehcicle I have enjoyed more. It needs better gas milage, its tight between the door and the seat and I have a "bucking" problem that cannot be solved. Could use a more powerful A/C unit. Love the car, will get another one because it is so easy to get in and out of and I cant believe the room it has.

  My college daughters PT cruiser - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By jlsh - April 13 - 9:56 am

  For what we have spent fixing this car in the past 3 years, we could have purchased a better vehicle. The physical shape of the car is great and it has many extras but, the garage where we have repairs made knows my daughters voice when she call!. We just spent 1500 dollars on repairs this winter and today she called and her steering wheel is locked up and wont turn.

  PT call home - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By partagas5 - March 17 - 2:00 am

  Just absolutely love this vehicle. I traded in a Lincoln Mark VIII for it (which I also loved) and thought I might find the PT too confining- not at all so. About the only improvement I would make is slightly larger front seats (the bottom- and Im only 510, 180lbs)that are more adjustable. Thats it! You do also have to be aware of the low ground clearance of the front end. It goes great in snow, can carry almost anything and I like it more each day.

  Happy in my PT - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By WinDaddy - January 31 - 9:43 pm

  Ive got 106K miles now and havent had any problems with the car. Theres a slight clunking from the rear occasionally under hard cornering just recently started. I understand its worn suspension bushings on the rear, so Ill be replacing those soon. At 40K I installed aftermarket springs and shocks to improve the handling. A bit stiffer ride, but well worth it. I also installed a Borla aftermarket exhaust and AirRaid intake. It has a nice growl, and power is OK with the 5 speed manual. I would not like this car with an automatic. Just replaced timing belt- its more expensive than most- you have to disconnect A/C hoses and raise the engine up few inches.
