Overview & Reviews

Chrysler's PT Cruiser receives a host of changes for 2006. Exterior styling is revised with new front and rear fascias, as well as new wheel designs. The interior is also freshened with new instrument and door panels, a new console and revised fabrics. The Limited and GT get a six-way power driver seat this year, and all models receive upgraded sound insulation. A 368-watt Boston Acoustics premium audio system is now available. The GT's turbo engine gets a boost in power this year, up to 230 horsepower.

• Distinctive styling inside and out, spacious cabin with multiconfigurable rear seats, smooth ride, spirited acceleration on turbo models, reasonable pricing.

• Sluggish acceleration with base engine, awkward seating position for shorter drivers, unimpressive fuel economy.

  Nice car - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Dennis - September 7 - 9:50 am

  My Pt is my go to school car. I drive 60 miles day, 40 miles interstate, 20 miles town driving, I average 28 to32 mpg at 65 mph and depending on the weather . I put a k and n air filter and bosch platinum spark plugs. This brought my mpg up 4 to 6 mpg. Love the looks and cargo space by folding up the back seats, you can haul a lot of stuff. I like the head room 4 adults can ride very comfortable, and I get around traffic easier.

  Great Car - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Bob - August 16 - 9:06 am

  I went from an 88 Jaguar XJ6 to a 2006 PT Cruiser basic and am very happy with it. It rides well and feels substantial. I was taken with the exterior design when they first came out but didnt like the dark interior. The 2006 has a great interior and friends with more expensive cars have love the dash.

  Red Wagon - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By BudO - January 20 - 12:13 am

  Im 62", 240 lbs. and find the PT to be comfortable to drive except for the wings on the front seats, they dig into my thighs. The power/torque in this engine is more (automatic transmission) than adequate. I have read that others are experiencing poor mpg. I drove our new PT to Denver from our home in the mountains last week that included cross town driving for a total of 200 miles. I held it to 55/65 mph because it had 145 miles on the engine. I was very surprised to achieve 33.6 mpg.

  Fun Car; Some Problems - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Dave - December 2 - 9:00 am

  Bought this car for my wife and she loves it. Only problem is that weve lost all dash lights and instruments, door locks, etc. on two separate occasions. First time dealer replaced a computer module. Second time it was reset. Keeping our fingers crossed it wont happen again. Current mileage 4500.

  What a great car - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Pat - November 15 - 4:13 pm

  This is a great car for a small to medium family. It has five seats, the rear seats fold down, and come out completely. Its aa SUV, WAGON, and MINI VAN all in one. Handles great. Perfect for new drivers. Looks great. Drives great. Comfortable for people of all sizes. The back seat can seat 3 meduim sized people comfortalbly. The four cylinder engine is faster than i expected. Good on gas. Wonderful car to drive. Its a great looking car, inside and out.

  PTC Owner for Life!!! - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By PAC for PTC - March 17 - 4:56 pm

  I love almost all aspects of my PT. My only negative is gas mileage and I miss gas tank on drivers side. I drive mostly city but feel the gas issue could be greatly improved on. As for the window controls, they arent clunky, it just takes time to get used to reaching for the middle dash. Handles like a dream, great on quick maneuvering. Drove a mini-van for 20 years and am pleased with the cargo versatility. Visibility is really nice as seating is higher than in a comparable small vehicle, Seat height makes it very easy to get in and out of. Love the fun styling. Id miss the towel bar as I have it decorated!!! Very easy to hand wash. Next goal: Limited Edition - Loaded - Cant wait!!

  Love this car - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Gloria - January 15 - 5:46 pm

  Love how the car handles and looks. Ive wanted one after I first saw the first one come out. I have an electric blue. My youngest son said why did you buy one of these, but after he road in it he loved it. I have all the special features, heated leather seats, sun roof, 6 disk cd player, auto stick, and more. It has the speed, smooth ride and is a blast to drive. My husband dosent get to drive it much because I love it so much. Also my friends that have been in it also love it.
