  Fun, at first - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By jlem - August 20 - 2:00 am

  Was one of the first to buy, paying a premium in Oct. 2000. Loved it initially. Got 5-speed. Drove like a sports car. But had a series of minor problems, in and out of the shop. I hate to admit it, but its initial uniqueness has worn off and its just an ordinary car to me now.

  Couldnt Be Happier - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By ATown - August 15 - 10:00 am

  The vehicle moves well, and handles well considering its size and weight. Its not a sports car, but its definately fun to be behind the wheel. The turbo has responsive straightline acceleration with or with out using the AutoStick. After accelerating from a stop, Ive been finding myself exceeding the speed limit by a good margin before I take notice of my speed. The interior design is tasteful enough to satisfy those that are interested in the car for its retro look, but still has an edgy 21st Century look to it. All in all, I have enjoyed the vehicle immensely, and have only a few gripes (see below).

  My Cruiser - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By BUMPPY - March 29 - 10:00 am

  I was dealing with several dealers before my purchase and Huling was upfront and very informative. Some dealers tried to sell me something I didnt want or need. I got the car, price, color and options I asked for, no more no less. It even will match my motorhome.

  Had fun while I had it, but goodbye - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Brian - October 22 - 8:06 pm

  I had the car for about 4.5 yrs. The fuel pump just quit on me in my driveway and was replaced under warranty. The back liftgate wouldnt open so I had to take it in for that. The AC fan went kaput one summer in S. Alabama and shot out a lot of Freon on the H.P. discharge valve. I had that replaced 1 day short of owning it for three yrs. It woulnt idle worth a d, the dealer said the injectors were dirty and had that "cleaned" for a 180 bucks! (my bad) It started idling rough again shortly after that so I raised the idle speed myself with a little wire. I used it for a maintenance work car for three yrs and workrd great for that. It was fun to drive and held a lot of stuff, stereo was good

  IT GOS AND GOS - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By PTPapa - March 20 - 2:00 am

  Had the car 3 months now. It is a blast to drive....very quick with the turbo, makes you feel like your 16 again! Good handling, on the street and at frwy speeds...settles in nicely at 80mph. The car looks great, and gets its share of attention from young and old alike. Seats are comfortable and give you good support. Great ride for its size! Get one for scootin around, you wont regret it....the turbo is a must have tho!!

  2003 Steel Blue GT - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By SteelBlueGT - February 17 - 12:20 am

  Bought the car in late 2002 and it has given me over 40,000 miles of fun driving and very little trouble. An oil sending switch, a balky airbag light, and resetting the trip odometer is the only trouble so far. It does not burn oil in between 3000 mile oil changes. Original tires lasted 40,000 miles as did the brakes. Good on long trips and loves the highways. I get 19 mpg in town and 24 on the highways. Ride is firm but never harsh and handling is as good as it gets with my all season Yokohama performance tires. Interior comfort is great for both myself 6 Ft and wife 5Ft. Back seat is very roomy for four and a tight fit for five as the car is not that wide. Love the seating choices.

  By Dawn - October 27 - 7:20 pm

  As soon as I saw the first PT, I fell in love and knew I had to have one. I do love my PT, the stylin retro body and the cool interior features make this a very fun vechicle.

  Very reliable. Never serviced. Poor gas milage for a 4 cyl. and slightly under powered. I would recommend a turbo if available. Overall excellent quality and very low maintenance. Great car! 69,000 miles and not one problem yet. Have the Touring edition.
