Overview & Reviews

Chrysler's PT Cruiser receives a host of changes for 2006. Exterior styling is revised with new front and rear fascias, as well as new wheel designs. The interior is also freshened with new instrument and door panels, a new console and revised fabrics. The Limited and GT get a six-way power driver seat this year, and all models receive upgraded sound insulation. A 368-watt Boston Acoustics premium audio system is now available. The GT's turbo engine gets a boost in power this year, up to 230 horsepower.

• Distinctive styling inside and out, spacious cabin with multiconfigurable rear seats, smooth ride, spirited acceleration on turbo models, reasonable pricing.

• Sluggish acceleration with base engine, awkward seating position for shorter drivers, unimpressive fuel economy.

  Love my GT PT convert - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Ed M - October 5 - 5:23 am

  Bought the GT PT Convert in April 2010, it is a 2006 and the owner was a senior, car had only 7,900 miles on it! So far just needed a new drivers door mirror- it broke and dealership covered it. Gas is definitely an issue, but if you want the extra horse you gotta pay. This car is flawless for five years old. Only use it three or four times a week, plan to keep garaged and immaculate. Hope to preserve as a collector item. Chrysler only made the GT Conv for two years 05 and 06. Have orig build sheet and window sticker- love this car and plan to keep into its antique years.

  GT Turbo - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Michael - January 8 - 8:00 am

  This PT is fun to drive and has more than enough power. Gas mileage is not great but respectable. Handles good on the highway. Manufacturer paid a lot of attention to detail and it shows. Turning radius needs to be corrected, cannot make a u turn and expect not to hit curbs. Needs light in glovebox and under the hood. Owners manual should be for each model instead of multi-models.

  Better GPH and a lil more pickup - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By crystal - November 14 - 3:13 am

  We just purchased this car last month. It seemed like the MPG was going well at first, but it took a downfall. I am an all city driver and need good GM. I am sad that I was mislead on the MPG. This car is a little sluggish on acceleration (turbo may be better). Other than these two things I totally love the car! While I can live with a little bit of slug I cant live with MPG. Sadly, it may have to go when I can get something else. Or, maybe they will improve it next year and I can get a better PT. I think they look smoking hot. - Hope this helps anyone looking at these cars.

  Used As A Designer Car - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By ptcrusier - April 22 - 11:58 am

  The second owner which we were looking for a vehicle that is good on gas, is reliable, room, and with a look for the designers. Never had a only have had Jeep Wranglers with Chrysler and being a car and not a car person it is cool to drive at night how it lights up. The only problem is the AUX set broke when hooked into a I-PHONE but most factory stereo are junk any way. Very Happy with this car and am going to set up for company used vehicle runner/ designer cars. COST OF OUT COME EVALUATION!

  Great car - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Jeff - February 10 - 7:43 pm

  Bought my mother age 78 a Stock 4 door PT Cruiser. The car came Nicely equipped and rides like a bigger car. The 4 cylinder is bigger than most. It has full size 15 inch wheels and lots of head and legroom. The new interior is excellent for the 2006 model year. She got the car for $2200 down and $120 a month for a 27 month lease. Great deal on a 4 door sedan.

  2006 PT CRUISER-Van automatic!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By candilovs4u - January 25 - 3:31 pm

  I am in love with this Car!!! It is extremely comfortable and feels very safe and secure. The build and design seems to be very sturdy. It rides smooth, and very spacious. I havent had any problems with it so far. I have seen a few reviews about mileage complaints but so far its doing great on gas. Its stylish, comfortable, and most importantly affordable for me. I am most definitely happy about this decision.

  06 PT 4dr Touring Edition - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Joel Sander - December 4 - 11:53 pm

  We bought this vehicle for 4 reasons, American made, unique looks, economical price, and fuel economy. We are very pleased with it, after several months of driving now, and about 5,000 miles on the ticker. With the cruise control set at 62 mph on the highway, (Im in no hurry) I can get 35 mpg all day long. It is roomy for a small vehicle, and quite comfortable. With the 5 spd manual it is a fun, spirited car to drive. 0-60 takes only 8.5 seconds. It is a lot of vehicle for the price you pay, and as reliable and trust worthy as the family golden retriever. If you are looking for a bargain in todays $3/ gal. society, and like to buy "American", look no further.

  Love My PT GT! - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By blue star - November 21 - 3:33 am

  According to my service adviser the PT is among a few cars that only come in for maintenance. I drive approximately 100 miles per day and she is a joy to drive. It has loads of passenger room, the rear seats fold down flat to allow a good surface to carry lots of things. The controls are easy to access, she drives smooth as silk and the stiffer suspension lets me enjoy curves. She has new Eagle Tires which are an improvement over the originals, the Turbo is responsive, fit and finish is very good, bluetooth, sirius radio and 6 CD changer. Originally I leased a Touring model to be sure, Im sure I love this car. Its distinctive styling is a stand out but shes not just beautiful...
