  Lemon Car - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Nancy M - November 20 - 9:20 am

  I have had nothing but problems with it since I bought it. The transmission has been slipping since 2 weeks after I brought it home! The dealers computer cant find a problem, so they wont fix it. Now Im past my warranty period and they tell me that the repair is at my cost! also, I had numerous problems with it that arent supposed to happen. The Strut spring snapped in half, covered under warranty (but should never happen), the engine mounting bolt flew out and took out my power steering pump with it (that should never happen), the battery cable spontaneously burned up (mechanic was surprised my car didnt catch fire!) and that should never happen,either! Im trading it for a Honda!

  It was great for a long time. but now. . . ? - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By hotwifey - October 5 - 11:06 pm

  I purchased this car when it was 1 year old in 2004. I loved the design and still do. This car really had no issues until the past 1.5-2 years. I was so happy with it, I thought I will just keep driving it as long as I can. Recently, at 94,000 miles- I have had one problem after another. It is a bummer because this car was great for me for many years, but now it is a hassel. Im looking to sell mine now, but not sure what type of person can afford the repairs. :( The interior and exterior looks new, but under the hood is another story.

  Worst vehicle Ive ever owned. - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Lori - September 30 - 8:46 am

  Cheap vehicle. At 60,000 miles the cooling system quit, had to have entire system replaced. Thermostat stopped working and car overheated, almost ruined the engine! Next the a/c compressor quit making the car stall or jump forward at lights. This vehicle is a hazard. Leather is not durable at all, and the paint flakes off, cant wash it with out finding new exposed metal!

  My First Chrysler - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Ernie - August 25 - 9:46 am

  The wife and I ran Route 66 this summer in the car. No matter what altitude we drove through, the turbo keep the perforance high. Great vacation car. For two weeks we were driving and had plenty of room for luggage and goodies we pickup along the way.

  Consumer Report said dont buy a 2003 - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Karen - August 20 - 6:03 am

  Too bad I didnt find out until 3 years later! Replaced power steering pump, ABS is out, sensors burning out all over, replaced pricey turbo belts in first year, my dash looks like a Christmas tree with all the failure lights I have had to respond to. I love the car, but I hate the money I have to put into a car I am still paying for. Oh, and it has the turning radius of a brick. But love the look and heated seats and all the really fantastic extras -- a ton of room, really great for moving!

  Better then a middle age "Vet" - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Domestic Dame - August 18 - 2:00 am

  Totaled my Subaru Forester and loved it, but wanted something a little more flashy at this time of life and the corvette was not an option. Absolutely love my red PT....It has all the bells and I like the seat adjustments, as I am short. A month after I bought mine, I sat in on my sons purchase of a turbo blue. Our garage is now a PT "nest" with Daddys Exployer parked under the carport.

  Junk in Miami - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Junk in Miami - July 10 - 10:00 am

  Great concept, poorly executed! We loved our car when we first bought it. Dark Blues with the Woody package. Still turns heads to this day. However, front wheel bearings went out at 20K, transmission went out at 37K, water pump went out at 52K and overheated warping the head. Luckily this all was covered under the extended bumper to bumper warranty. When the water pump went out, it still cost me over $800 for misc repairs that the car needed. Four months later the car started running rough, so back to the dealer and another $1100. None of the work they did before was now covered since the warranty expired and so did the warranty on their work! Really? Yes. I can not afford this junk!

  1 of the best cars ived owned - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By blkgt - July 5 - 11:26 am

  The gt had very good bones! I have added heart throb 2&1/2" duals k&n filter ,jet performance chip, MB spark wheels, mini antenna, sound deadening, rear fender inter liners,and removed a little chrome, also replaced the goodyear factory tires with hankook, also installed heat shield for the spare tire. The duals and wheel&tire changes were best. 24.9 mpg to L.A. 25.1 on return. mixed hwy and city. Lots of room for Art easels and large picture frames. Chose GT over Magnum for usable space and performance. Magnun was a hemi but had power robbing 22 in. wheels.
