    The most fun I have ever had driving. It is family friendly yet still easy on the eyes.

    By far, the best fuel economy car I have owned. Handles very well and looks great! It is so roomy and spacious for that long distance driving when space is so important for your belongings. It is nice to not have to spend a fortune to get your destination!

    We were surprised at the riding comfort of this vehicle. We expected a huge difference from our previous Chrysler T&C. The handling characteristics are excellent.

    Great Car. Drove it from Norther CA to Southern CA with toddler and Grandma who has bad circulation in tow. We had a great time because the seats are comfortable. Mom could let the front seat down and sit in back with toddler and have her leg stretched out in the front. Hows that for comfort (because the front passenger seat folds all the way down!

    Bought the PT "woodie" a few months ago and couldnt be more pleased with the car. It is versatile,reliable, and its styling still draws a lot of lookers. I am impressed by the quality in the fit and finish. Everything just fits like it should. Power is adequate and it certainly is not a sports car but it isnt meant to be...all in all a great little car.

    The "roadability" matches anything I have driven. My wifes car is the 300M and my previous car was a Camero. The PT is more responsive than either and get up and go matches both. No blind spots and handling characteristics let you feel the road.

    No problems at all. Added dual exhast and airaid system. Opened hood trim for ram air effect. Very very fast. Have automatic -it downshifts to first say at 20 mph... hold on.. smokes tires and the ride is wild. Utility is great. Best gas mileage on road 23 MPG. Get a boost gauge. Install on PVC line. I get 13 to 15 lbs boost.. 25 vacuum. Drive at 15 vacuum in city for best mileage. Turbo will save your butt getting into traffic. Stay low on chrome. I have painted factory wheels, chrome door handle insets and Xeonon rear spoiler. Put money inside.. Aluminum floor mats.. Aluminum trim around dash and console and dash cover. Wow! looks great. PS. Waxed... turbo minis

  • great buy so far - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    I bought this car about 2 years ago, and have put on 20,000 miles so it has a total of 40K. This car has, thus far, been pretty reliable. I love the 5 speed manual and all the space. Removable seats have come in handy alot. Only problem noteworthy is the lift gate hydraulic struts stick and Click really loud when opened. Only BIG problem, this car is HORRIBLE in the snow. Will NEVER buy a car without ABS ever again. Great for cruisin and moving stuff as it has LOADS of space, just really not recommended for northern states who get lots of snow.
