  So far, so good - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Hunter - April 19 - 8:10 am

  We have had our PT Cruiser for three months now, completely without incident or complaint. The Cruiser was not my first choice, but it appears to be the correct one. For a car that I assumed to be a "fad" vehicle, the fit and finish inside and out is quite good. It handles capably and is quite fun to drive. Not exactly overpowered, but adequate for a second vehicle. The ride is exceptionally good for a small vehicle of this type; it is a comfortable vehicle with more room than I expected.

  2002 pt after 80,000 miles - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By richard Eaton - April 18 - 8:26 pm

  first car we ever brought new. the only problem we have experienced in the past with around 50,000 miles, the car would over heat. if you stopped for 5 minutes and restarted the car, the overheating would stop. carried it to the local chysler dealer and let them keep it overnite to locate problem. no problem found and has not over heated again since then and vehicle has over 80,000 miles on it.

  My First 4 Months With the Cruiser! - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By dvdirv - March 22 - 10:00 am

  The PT Cruiser is a vehicle that is hard to describe: part car, part SUV, part truck. It performs well on many levels including comfort, smoothness and quiet inside the cabin. Its shortcomings are primarily the low MPG for such a size vehicle (21- 29).

  Looks Good, But Stinks - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By toys99 - January 2 - 1:30 pm

  My girlfriend purchased this vehicle three years ago. First year was alright. Nothing major happend except for the very poor gas mileage, and there is no performance at all. Second year brakes and suspension went out. Had to replaced the front and rear brakes and the vehicle only had 50,000 miles on it. Also at the same time the struts go out. Third year major problems, transmission will not shift gears. Had to get it towed and no one knows what to fix. Never again.
