  • True Love! - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    I havent loved a car this much since I got my first one at age 16 (Im 40 now.) GT is the way to go if you want a PT. It is fast and fun! Ive had mine more than a year now and I still love it. Build quality has been terrific. Loved Chryslers PT "Block Party" in Pomona this year too! Daimler has done good things for this legendary US automaker!

    Not only is the PT Cruiser GT a teriffic car it can also be your hobby. Numerous sippliers, including Chrysler, allows you to personalize your vehicle and inprove performance with add on parts. I can cruise....carry cement or an airconditioner or what ever and still be in style. This is the first car I can keep. First as a primary vehicle then as it ages as a secondary vehicle. Love the 70,000 mile power train warranty but dislike 90 day oil changes for the turbo. Oh well

    In 14,000 miles of city driving with an occasional long trip out of town, no problems with engine or drive train have been experienced. Other than routine maintenance, no additional expenses have realized. Although the car is easy and fun to drive, it is sometimes difficult keep ahead of the power curve with the four speed automatic transmissions shift points. The utility and flexibility of the vehicle is outstanding. The car is a fun car with exceptional styling combined with practical utility.

    I thought I was going to buy an SUV until I test drove the PT Cruiser Turbo. It is a blast to drive! The model that I bought happened to be loaded with options, and I am enjoying everyone of them. I love the solid, retro feel to the interior and the quick pickup on the road.

  • first 3 days with a GT Turbo - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    Drove a 96 Acura Integra for 6 years. Was looking for something easier to get in and out of, fun to drive and 0 to 60 time of 8 seconds or less. Wanted a hackback or small wagon as they are so handy for hauling stuff. It was love at first site With the PT Crusier when it first came out. The turbo and better prices now sold me. Feels like its a 6 cyl under the hood when I press the go pedal. The GT ride is firm but not to firm. Very fun to drive. Got the leather quick order package that includes chrome 17" wheels. Reliablity is above average.

  • I love my cruiser - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    People still stop to admire it, ask about its performance and tell me how beautiful and classy it is. I recently drove in the worst snowstorm of the year because I live an hour from the railroad station and the storm was not supposed to start so early. Traction was excellent, ABS worked beautifully. I had one unavoidable spinout and lived to tell about it...was able to stop; bothcar and I were unscathed. No less safe than my AWD vehicle was in similar circumstances. My only complaint is limited visibility at top of windshield. I have to maneuver a bit to see overhead traffic signals. e r p s t a e s room available in the back, and no "cage" is re

  • Get a Turbo! It Rocks! - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    Reminds me of the 40 & 50s and we modified our cars. I cant think of a thing Id change except for a boost guage which I will take care of. The PT Turbo is quiet except when you pull the trigger. Hit the accellator at 20 MPH and you will get the surprise of your life. The wheels will spin, you are nailed in your seat and the motor screams. WOW!

  • A fast Cruiser - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    We already liked the Ltd, but this one is the best. It has all the versatility and room advantages of a mini- van/SUV/wagon (except a third row of seats which is useless anyway) and performs like a sports car (~7 seconds for 0-60 mph).
