  Fun Convertible - Reliable! - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By DAVNAU - August 19 - 5:53 pm

  Averaging 23 MPG so far - 19-20 City and 28 highway with the standard engine and 4-speed automatic. Note: I dont exceed the speed limits and only use the air conditioning on the hottest days. Absolutely no problems so far - everything works as it is supposed to. Engine performance is fine for me - better than the 2002 Ford Focus with stnadard engine that I was driving, with gas mileage about 2 MPG less than the Focus.

  Absolutely Love It! - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Kathy - January 26 - 11:53 am

  I have owned this car for one year now and still love it! All the past cars I drove were either Toyota or Honda. I suddenly needed a vehicle last year and was not prepared to spend much. I love the comfort of the interior seating and the car handles beautifully. Gas mileage 19-21 mpg, definitely limited power but I dont mind. Other posts are correct, the seats stain easily and the horn can stick. Rides more like an old fashion truck than a luxury vehicle. Loads of fun! I feel like Im driving to the beach every time Im in it.

  Loving It - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By TravelNurse - October 17 - 3:23 pm

  I love my new Cruiser, its fun to drive, easy on gas, comfortable to drive in. The turning circle is wider than I expected. The drive is smooth. I have driven in the mountains with this and it acts like a typical 4 cylinder, but has adequate power to make it up the mountains. The a/c is cold - important in Arizona! The fold down/take out seats are a real plus for carrying things in the back. My daughter does complain that the seating in the rear is not as comfortable as the front. My husband has bad knees and finds the higher seating very comfortable both to drive as well as getting in and out of the car. We are very happy with the car and look forward to many years with the new PT.

  I Love This Car!!! - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Mike - August 3 - 7:40 am

  I had a 2006 Chrysler Sebring that was hit and totaled by a drunk driver. I needed a new car, so I decided on a PT Cruiser. I have the Touring Edition with a 5-speed manual, and I love it. Even though it has the 4-cylinder engine, it will get up and go fast. Love the space, and love the dashboard design. Gas mileage could be better, but thats more me than the car. I also love the color, Opal Metallic. Overall, the car is a great ride and versatile too!

  By Thomas - May 3 - 11:03 am

  recently purchased my 2007 cruiser and couldnt be happier. i was recently in a pretty bad accident in another car and it became totaled so when i was looking to buy another car i wanted something i knew would feel safe. i test drove other cars the cobalt and the mazda 6 but they didnt feel right i got in the cruiser and feel in love i couldnt be happier with how it drives and how much fun everyone has getting in it and driving around. Im only 20 but i do a lot of traveling with friends and need the extra space that i didnt have in my other car.

  More fun than expected, so-so on gas - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Cruiser in the Keys - March 11 - 1:56 am

  Rented a PT Cruiser for a week long trip through the Florida Keys. It was MUCH more "fun" than I would have expected - Im 63 and the driving position was more comfortable than most vehicles. The Touring Turbo has pretty good pick-up and handling was really good for such a tall vehicle. VERY impressed with the fit and finish.

  Lovin the Cruiser - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By crazyc - November 25 - 3:03 pm

  I absolutley love this car. I have always drove Chev and honestly bought this car only because of the price. I bought it as a lease back. I never liked the exterior of the Cruiser and thought they were a "dime a dozen" car. There is a very good reason that you see so many on the roads.....they rock!!! Killer car, Im driving this thing til it explodes or I die, which ever comes first.

  Going Home in Style - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By RetroMan - October 1 - 6:16 pm

  I was hooked on the style of the PT even before it came out so I guess I was pre-sold. But it took me 6 years to get one since I needed the size my old Mopar van had. Now I have my PT and I love it! Sure, its a base sedan with just an automatic and A/C but it has all the toys I need and corners sharp and my teen-age grandson thinks its "cool". Im a "husky" six-footer who finds the headroom generous and the legroom more than adequate and can reach all the window/stereo/HVAC controls without stretching. Gripes? Well, it could get better mileage but it weighs 3100 lbs (a Z-06 Vette is only 700lbs more!). It reminds me of my old PV544 Volvo: same handy size, same old-time looks, same swagger!

  The whole truth and nothing but... - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By susieqt - September 30 - 4:56 pm

  Ok so here is the truth about my 2007 convertible pt cruiser base model black. I bought the car brand new in 2007 and just recently traded it for a Nissan Maxima ONLY because my family complained we needed more space. I loved the car and wish I could have kept it too! pros: fun, cute, no mechanical issues ever cons: not much room inside, bad on gas.. i did have a tear in my carpet which is odd it was barely driven... and my visor broke off one morning just simply opening it, guess the plastic was cold. For the price its an fantastic little car! I bought it at 27 years old and was so much fun. Now it was to hold my son and husband... just not enuff space.. but I will miss the "turtle"

  The good Ole PT Loser - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By jake - August 15 - 4:07 pm

  Been a fantastic car. Regular maintenance (especially changing the timing belt every 100,000) is important with any car, and this one is lasting because of it. Fuel mileage could be better for a car that has a 4 cyl, but overall it isnt bad. Has just enough power to pass and accelerate aggressively, but isnt overpowered by any means. The transmission shifts smooth and crisp and the ride is what youd expect from a smaller car. Its not had to have any major repairs outside of regular maintenance and basic wear and tear stuff that goes wrong with every vehicle. Ive seen many reviews stating that these cars chew through brakes, but thats not the case with mine...I believe driving style has more to do with that than anything else. The rear doors open farther than any other car Ive ever owned and getting in and out of it is very easy, almost like getting into a small SUV. With all the positives are some negatives. Mine does have a little shake to it between 45 and 50 MPH, and the turn signal lever has caused me to flash my bright lights at a few people. Overall though, everything about this little car has been up to par and well exceeded my expectations. I will be buying another one of these when I need another car.
