Overview & Reviews
A convertible joins the PT Cruiser lineup for 2005.
- Distinctive styling inside and out, spacious cabin with multiconfigurable rear seats, smooth ride, spirited acceleration on turbo models, reasonable pricing.
- Acceleration can be sluggish with base engine, awkward seating position for shorter drivers, unimpressive fuel economy.

I love my PT Cruiser - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By cindyc - December 23 - 12:16 pmExcept for the not-so-fab gas mileage, I love this car. Love the looks, the aftermarket items... its all tricked out. Got rid of muffler, glasspak improved energy 110%. Have low mileage, it works well.

Get ready for several recalls - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By Shayen George - November 13 - 10:00 amChrysler trying to capitalzie on the popularity of the orginal PT model is now building them very quickly, with very cheap components. Mine has been in the shop 3 times in as many months. The transmission went out as I was driving the car home from the dealership. Also, the seals in the right rear break cylinder failed, causing break failure. Also, the 6 CD changer had to be replaced. While this last problem was minor compared to the first 2, it does suggest some serious problems with quality control.

Great Car - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By RUSGC - September 30 - 10:23 amThe car was bought to be my wifes toy. My toy is an 84 Porsche 911. Im not going to say this is close to a Porsche, but it is a lot of fun and a real head turner, guys and gals, and it gets lots of looks and questions. Weve driven it on two trips, 1500 miles and 2800 miles..great trip car, very comfortable, GREAT performance from the turbo engine, very comfortable with top down. At Interstate speeds, we can converse at normal voice levels, and hear the radio/cd player, which, by the way,is easy to use and has good sound quality.

A realistic rating - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By The YARDI Guy - September 27 - 9:10 pmMy first review wasnt posted, so heres a more informed and probably more realistic review than my first. This car is a street-legal version of the bumper car you find on the carnival midway. That said, I like it very much - too much to subject it to a supermarket parking lot or a recently oiled and sanded road. But, honestly, a four-banger automatic is not a "10" in performance. And 20/26 MPG is mediocre at best. It IS tops for fun, especially the "hey, look at me - I bet you wish you were driving under the sun in this than "couped-up" (thats a pun, not a misspell) in that Lexus" smile I wear when Im behind the wheel. I even like stoplights so I can give them all a good look-see!

So far, so good... - 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By The YARDI Guy - September 10 - 9:53 amI just bought it, after a few thousand miles in Chrysler Sebrings. The Sebring is great on the highway, but a little "boaty" in the city, not to mention too AARP for me. The PT, on the other hand, is just "ugly enough" to keep things on the light side. Plus, its nimble enough and small enough to zip around the burbs. 50 is as fast as I can do in the 300 mile break-in, so I hope it does as well over 70. For that matter, I hope I do, too!!!
