Overview & Reviews

Taking a cue from custom cars of the past, Chrysler offers a flame-accented paint job on its popular retro-styled PT Cruiser. The optional flames, which are actually a decal.

• Head-turning styling, passenger/cargo flexibility, generous standard features list for price.

• No high-performance engine option (yet), tight cargo space when rear seat is in use.

  PT Cruiser is Reliable - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By PT Cruiser Reliable - July 8 - 5:16 am

  The PT Cruiser is a very reliable car with routine maintenance. I have owned a different model car with each of the 5 new car purchases I have made in my lifetime. I would rate the Cruiser as one of the top. It is very reliable and has not had any major repairs. I stay very close to the maintenance schedules and have driven this car all over the US in every sort of weather without issues. I plan to give this car to my soon to be licensed teen. The leg room and posture makes you feel like your driving a mini-van (I had an knee injury and a stretched out leg wasnt feasible). The ability to remove the back seats make it as convenient as a van if you need to carry lots of cargo.

  Love my PT!!!! - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Steph1163 - July 3 - 2:30 am

  I bought this car in 2006 with only 2800 miles on it! I got very lucky. I have always had great luck with the car. The only problem I have had is that the light cover for the windows roll up fell out. My PT has been the most reliable car I have owned!!!

  230k still running strong - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By DZ - June 20 - 10:00 am

  Bought it used from a friend with 12k on it. The only things I have had to do is timing belt, three clutchs, three crankshaft sensors, radiator fan, front bushings and the rear crank for the stabilizer. Other than that just change the oil and brakes. This car has never left me stranded. Fun to drive, very comfortable. To me this is all just maintenance and part of owning a car. Next week Im changing the timing belt again cause its that time. Going for 300k.

  Summary - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Lucifer221 - June 8 - 10:00 am

  Vehicle is peppy for a 4 cylinder. Overall styling is excellent. Interior is very roomy for 4 adults. Plenty of cargo room!!!! Controls are easy to manage, but power window controls are on the dashboard.

  Just what I wanted! - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By CS Cruiser - March 15 - 10:00 am

  This is just the third brand new car Ive purchased in my life. I was looking for something utilitarian but with a little more class. This does it. I liked the look before I knew how many different ways the interior could be configured. When I saw all of the cargo options I was sold. The only thing I could be happier about is the comfort of the seats. They seem a little too shallow (short from back to front). Id like better gas mileage but its good for the type of vehicle it is.

  I own a Brand New PT TURBO - Its HOT !!! - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Street Rod Builder - December 15 - 10:00 am

  Ive held my wife back from buying a PT since they came out due to a lack of highway perfomance in the orginal offerings. But this TURBO kicks butt ... And the tweaked suspension that the turbpo comes with sticks to the road ... Blew the doors off a hot V-8, 4x4 the other day out of a light !!! **BG** Im also 6foot6 & was very concerned about my long drive comfort .. Well, the car fits like a glove & is configured in such a way that its really easy to get in & out of ... Were very happy ...

  2002 Dream Cruiser - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Bob Howey - October 14 - 9:03 pm

  Very fun and reliable car with excellent features and comfort. This car is fully-loaded and has been very reliable with cost of ownership being quite low. Performance is noticeably impacted by running the air conditioning.

  Totally trouble-free! - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By boatman - October 2 - 2:00 am

  I have found this car to be very well built, reliable and even fun to drive. It can be a four person sedan one day and a cargo van the next! Great ability to change into many different configerations. The wide is fine, rattle free and I find it can cruise the highways with the best of them. Buy one and you will not go wrong!
