Overview & Reviews

Taking a cue from custom cars of the past, Chrysler offers a flame-accented paint job on its popular retro-styled PT Cruiser. The optional flames, which are actually a decal. Also, two new trim levels debut this year: the Touring Edition (which was previously an option package) and the Dream Cruiser. A Woodie appearance option is also available.

• Head-turning styling, passenger/cargo flexibility, generous standard features list for price.

• No high-performance engine option (yet), tight cargo space when rear seat is in use.

  02 PTs are still available new *cheap* - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Triple Jack - May 14 - 10:00 am

  2002 Dream Cruiser Series bought 3-22- 03.Series I Dream Cruisers were loaded in 2002:Sunroof,AM/FM/CD/Cass,Trac.Control, ABS,leather seats-heated in front,chrome 16" wheels,numbered plaque,Inca Gold paint.Inca Gold is a Love/Hate color.You either love it,or are nausiated by it.MSRP was $25k.I got it for $17k before any trades,money,etc.I was weary about the non-turbo 2.4/auto,but it holds its own.Very quick off the line.30- 50,acceleration is flat,but at speed,the car is very responsive.This should translate into better fuel economy but I am disappointed in what it gets.The EPA estimate is 19/25.So far,I am seeing 22.Happy with the design,fit & finish.

  Love the PT but want more reliability - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By jp - April 30 - 9:50 pm

  I loved the PT from the moment I saw it and bought one despite concerns about buying a Chrysler. Overall, I like the car but its reliability isnt what I want. The 1st 2 years were great, but then one little thing after another started going wrong.First the headlights wouldnt turn off-had to get the car jump started and take it in to the shop. Then the horn wouldnt work. Then it started overheating-had to get the car towed in 2 times for that. Then the brake lights wouldnt work-got them fixed 3 separate times. Replaced battery several times, replaced brakes. If it werent for these annoyances I would never buy another type of car-I absolutely love the ride, the look, the comfort,the room.

  like the style and ride of this car. The room inside is quite useful with the seats folded or removed

  Nice Car! - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Keith - February 24 - 4:40 pm

  Comfortable, solidly built, and fun to drive. Seating/cargo configurations adaptable for many needs. Very dependable. I had to replace headlight stalk switch, but other than that, just normal wear items. Over 60,000 on original tires. Less road noise than most all other small cars. Handles very well. Ive been generally satisfied with this car.

  Zippidy do dah!! - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By 55gdane - January 24 - 10:00 am

  I went from a 1998 Ford Expedition to the Cruiser and love it!!! Am I having a bit of a mid life crisis??? Maybe just a little as I did not go out and buy the expensive sport car...anyway the car is very cooooool and great to drive. I think the pick up (engine) is pretty good, of course could be a bit quicker but I did not buy for that reason. Comfortable interior...I like sitting up a little higher.

  I absolutely loved my Inferno Red 2002 PT Cruiser but had to trade it in this weekend at only 38,000 due to numerous transmission problems and fluid leaks. Had to have transmission replaced at 37K and Chrysler could never completely correct the fluide leaks. Had to trade in as styling was awesome and it was a fun vehicle to drive when it was running. Would recommend to others if buy extended warranty and trade before it runs out.

  5 Speed the way to go - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By local cruiser - December 12 - 10:00 am

  The over-all quality of the car is very good. Only problem found is the 4 speed automatic transmission. This transmission has problems in getting stuck in second gear after a complete stop. No codes register so the dealer cant address the problem as per Chrysler. Chrysler .... what ever happened to "customer service" ...
