    2nd one; 102,000 miles on the first, no problems; great fun to drive; clubs to join,events to participate in; hauling space with fold down seats, and removeable seats offer excellent utility, often better than SUVs. 120 sq feet of usable space.

    Bought this used in 2006 when it had 4400 miles on it. It now has 20,000 miles on it. I have had no problems at all. The 220 hp motor is fun. Gas mileage can vary greatly depending on how I am driving. 65-70 gets me about 26 mpg. 80 to 85 gets about 21 mpg. It handles great and tracks great. For a small vehicle it is surprisingly quiet.

    This is a classy looking car that is fun to drive. The only drawback so far is the average gas mileage. You expect a small car like the Cruiser to have really good mileage and it does not. Still a great car to drive. It is a company car and I am looking forward to taking the trip in it to Florida. I love it ... wanted one from the day I first saw it.

    WOW!!! Cant say enough positive things about this car. I purchased new 3/2005 changed the oil every 3 to 4,000. I have 185,000 miles on her and she purrs like a kitten. Ive replaced brakes twice, tires 3 times and replaced rear shocks. My fault for using it like a truck. Thats it. I havent had this type of reliability from my Honda CR-V. What a work horse! Couldnt be more satisfied for the money.

    In the first month we owned our Cruiser we took two trips. We had a blast! The whole family had plenty of room. And people really notice this car.

  • Very cool cruiser to drive and own! - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    We are the PROUD owners of an inferno red PT cruiser GT turbo convertible! There is lots of leg room, my husband & I can sit in the back comfortably. There isnt anything I havent been able to fit into the car yet for storage. The turbo model has awesome pick-up! We live in the midwest, & will have to wait & see how it handles in the snow, the traction control is great so far in the rain. This is a very fun car to drive, & its very functional too. Havent paid much attention to the gas mileage, guess its about average with other cars weve had. The heated front seats will be very "cool" when winter arrives! Weve had the car just over 6months, & it still looks & feels brand new!

    I bought my Electric Blue Cruiser Convertible in May and after 5 months am still having the love afair. It handles and rides smoothly. The suspension gives a ride comparable to most big cars I have driven. The attention to detail and especially the top of the line convertible top make it a real pleaser. I still turn heads when I pull into a parking lot.
