  Wicked Fun - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By juzme - April 12 - 2:00 am

  The most fun I have inside a car while fully dressed. Its just great to drive, and extremely comfortable. I had driven a PT about a year ago, and was underwhelmed. The GT PT is another vehicle entirely. If you have driven a PT cruiser in the past, but you were turned off because you thought it was underpowered, try the GT Turbo.

  A Breakthru Vehicle - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Mark - March 27 - 3:20 pm

  My wife and I bought one of the first PT Cruisers available in our area. We paid $2k over list price to get delivery. To-date we have 42,000 miles on it. No rattles! We have the basic engine with an automatic. adequate for our purposes, but not a fast acceleration car. We ordered every available option except the roof rack. We take advantage of the very flexible interior and sometimes strip out the seats to carry a lot of our sailboat stuff.

  2003 Limited 5-speed - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser

  I bought pre-owned at half the current selling price, chose the manual transmission to maximize performance and fuel economy, and am very satisifed in every aspect except road noise at highway speeds.

  Great Driving Experience - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By DiamondRem - March 26 - 2:00 am

  My overall experience with the PT Dream has been wonderful. All of my friends enjoy riding in the car because of the leg room and amount of passanger space available. Not to mention the ease of getting in and out of the vehicle.

  Cute car, poor quality mechanically. - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Cathi - March 4 - 1:10 pm

  I was so excited to get this car. That didnt last long, we had to replace the battery the first week we brought it home. It was purchased new. We have replaced the battery 2 more times since. Head gasket leaked the first year, a/c has been out several times, radiator leaked, now the transmission is completely out, needs rebuilding. I have had this car only 4 years. Turn radius is limited, gas mileage is poor. Drawer under the passenger seat wont close without much difficulty. Very disappointing.

  Fun car or worst piece of crap!!! - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By wewing - March 3 - 9:27 am

  I bought my PT Cruiser used. It is a 2003 and I bought it in 2005. I have replaced the waterpump (inline), the power steering,I have had work done on the struts,front bearings, I have had electrical problems and replaced the battery, and it eats oil at a rate higher than I would like. I have spenr over $3500 dollars on repairs and it had 30,000 miles on it when I bought it and I have just less than 70,000 on it now. There is a small leak somwhere in the cooling system either coming from the water pump$700, the head gasket $1000 or the engine block $2000. I am a little unhappy with the reliability of this car.

  Fun car! - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By laconiajack - November 24 - 10:00 am

  Amazing quality. The 03 model has body color bumpers rather than gray ones. Added a Continental Kit, extra chrome outside, carbon fiber and chrome inside. Strangers compliment it. Does 0 to 60 mph under 9 seconds. Accomodates five. Remove or lower rear seat plus passenger seat to carry things. It may resemble a hot rod, a hearse, a gangster car, or "woody", but not every other car.
