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.

  MY " TOY" - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Monk - February 15 - 2:00 am

  I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR/TRUCK A FEW WEEKS AND IT HAS BEEN BETTER THAN EXPECTED SO FAR. IT HANDLES WELL, ALTHOUGH IT COULD USE A LITTLE MORE POWER I KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT AND IT EXCEEDS MY EXPECTATIONS

  Good car for the money - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By fenjersey - February 15 - 2:00 am

  Solidly built vehicle with a well designed interior. With the 5 speed, this car has plenty of zip. Chrysler intended the Cruiser to have the 5 speed as its primary transmission, as it fits with the styling. The auto is for those who want the look but just cant figure out how to drive a stick. Its a given that an automatic will have less power and lower gas mileage. That said, this car is a great deal if you get the base model with a few add ons (power locks, windows, CD).

  its been good to me - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By ptbubba - December 30 - 10:00 am

  So far so good the build quality has been a very pleasant expierence. In the year and a half ive had this pt, it has not had, one problem at all that it needed to go back to the dealer for any warrenty work. And is it usful little hauler the amount of stuff it can hold is surprising. Even with auto. trans. performance is okay 90% of the time. im very happy with my PT

  Very happy so far....800 miles - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By joeboy - March 30 - 2:00 am

  Solid car, no rattles or squeeks yet. Time will tell. I have the 5 speed. 1st gear is a little weak, but then it pulls pretty well. Very versatile. I would recommend it.

  Very Pleased - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Andrea G - March 9 - 7:20 pm

  My husband and I purchased our PT Cruiser used with almost 60,000 miles on it in 2004.We have driven it a total of 29 months. It sat for about 9 months after being hit by a mid size SUV on the passengers side while riding in town. My three kids were in the car and everyone was safe.Today the car has almost 108,000 miles on it and drives great. We have had to replace the following items: rotors, brakes, calipers, tie rods and the radiator. The repairs were not as expensive as I had expected. I am often recieving compliments on the vehicle. I drive anywhere from 40-60 miles daily for work and couldnt have been happy this past summer with the price of gas being what it was

  MY PT - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By tommy - January 15 - 6:23 pm

  My family bought our PT Cruiser in August 2002 about 9 months after my aunt had just bought one of her own. Compared to our other Daimler-Chrysler models (97 Jeep Cherokee, 03 Dodge Dakota) The PT has held up the best, gets the best gas mileage and the biggest problem we have had with it is changing the tires at only 20k. Our repairman said that DC has been putting low grade (20k or less) tires on all new models in order to save money.

  Happy and shocked - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Black - September 19 - 10:00 am

  Overall I have been very happy with my PT. I like its reliability, style, and comfort. It is a well built vehicle. The one shock I received today was that the front rotors are non-turnable, in other words they are throw away rotors according to my dealer. I have owned other vehicles for many years and miles and I have never had a problem with worn out rotors. My PTs rotors had to be replaced after only 30,000 miles.
