    Every time I drive my turbo PT Crusier ragtop I turn heads. From the ease of getting into the car to the decievingly large amount of room inside, comfort seems to be the key. It has a great sound system and is a very smooth drive. The only drawback I can see is limited visability when backing up while the top is up.

    Great small vehicle. I tested several different makes & models before trying a PT and discovered I had been wasting my time. I wanted something that would not scare you when trying to get onto the freeway or passing someone. This GT will get you there quick and safe. I do like the front of the 2006 model better. Ive never had a problem with my car and I drive 80 miles a day round trip to work. My wife loves it so much that were thinking about selling her Gran Prix GT and getting her a GT-PT also.

    I have wanted a convertible all my life, and am not a bit sorry I chose this one. It handles beautifully, has a smooth comfortable ride, the bucket seats cradle you. The single latch one button operation for the top couldnt be simpler. This is not a good rainy day car, water will run off the top into open doors or windows due to no gutters on a ragtop, and rain will also run off the lid into the trunk. The turbo model has good pickup, and there is enough room in the trunk for 2 peoples weekend luggage. If they could improve the fuel economy even a little it would make this car the best in its class. Having the Glove Box lock and unlock with the doors would be a really nice feature.

    After dreaming for 2 years, I finally got my PT Cruiser!! I love to look, the comfort, the sound system, and the drivability. My friends are so jealous. I have so much fun its like when I bought my first car as a teenager. Everyone should have this much fun.

  • They finally did it right - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    Until recently I had a 2001 Ltd Pt Cruiser and it was a great car, very reliable, good gas mileage, but a real dog in the power department. Well now I have the 2005 Touring Edition Convertible Turbo and the turbo makes all the difference. It is now fun to drive. It is responsive finally. Dont get the car without the turbo.

    I havent own this long , but it seems to be ( for the price ) ok. I do feel it bounce around when you hit bumps in the road and if your not use to it ,it will scare you . The fuel mileage isnt that good ( to me anyways ),you only get about 16 to 17 miles to the gallon in the city ( with a strong tail wind ) I gave up a 2002 Monte Carlo which avg. 19 miles to the gal. in the city for this and would never do it again !!! This is my WIFES car and she LOVES it !, so as long as she is happy, I can Put up with it!!
