    My problem is that I have had multiple front end and suspension problems. In four years I have had multiple wheel bearing, three sets of lower control arms and numerous trips to the dealship complaining about the rattle in the front of my car. Now I have more suspension problems, a broken motor mount and a blow head gasket. It is a shame because I really love my car just hate the poor design.

    Bought my new PT a little over one month ago and I have such a blast driving it! Takes me back to the Beach Boys days and thinking about California good times. Of all the cars I have owned, this is probably the funnest to drive, even more so than the Sebring convertible that I traded in for this "Cruising fun machine"

    I used Edmunds to research my new car. I read all the reviews for the cruiser. Everyone agrees that the cruiser is fun to drive,the ride is smooth and lots of room. I get lots of smiles. I love this car!

    Purchased the car new in 2003. The HO turbo makes it a blast to drive. The Auto-Stick is useful for holding a gear while descending hills. The car still exhibits good NVH, no squeaks, rattles, nor wind noise. The car was taken back to the dealer only once under warranty for a blown audio speaker.

    I traded my well loved Neon R/T for this car and have been well pleased. I miss the quickness and agility of the R/T but love the spaciousness and versatility of the cruiser.

    We also dont know the annual gas milage because we just bought the car today! Im very happy with how much room it has in it! The car is roomy and the seats arent so close to the floor like in a car. It drives nicely and Im excited that its a Turbo! The Electric Blue is a great color!

    This car has been fantastic the only complaint I have is the gas mileage should be better for a 4 cylinder only getting about 16 miles per gallon around town. But car is as solid as a rock I have a 2003 and have had it exactly 1 year and it has been PERFECT.

    I really enjoy driving my PT. Last week I had to drive it in snow (about 1 inch was on the road) and it handled great. The car is a lot of fun to drive. It is not a easy to see out of as my jeep but I am getting use to the blind spots.

    I bought my PT Crusier in October of this year as a second car. So far I have 3500 miles on it and have been very satisfied with the comfort and the ride. The gas milage is around 21 miles to the gallon in-town, which is the same as my Chevy Venture. I recently drove it on a 750 mile trip and got about 24 MPG. The PT is a fun car to drive, but no speed demon since I have the non-turbo engine. The problem I have had is that the engine died once at a stop light. It started right back up and I havent had a problem since. The dealer checked it out and couldnt fine anything wrong either.
