This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Distinctive styling inside and out, spacious cabin with multiconfigurable rear seats, smooth ride, spirited acceleration on turbo models, reasonable pricing.
Cons:
  • Sluggish acceleration with base engine, awkward seating position for shorter drivers, unimpressive fuel economy.

  • comfort and spacious interior - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    I have been the owner of 3 SUV in the past 5 years. Now I enjoy all the comfort of a SUV in a smaller vehicle. Its interior design is futuristic and fashionable. Its seats are very comfortable and easily adaptable. I really appreciate its loading capacity, which allows me to carry big suitcases as well as my childrenĀ“s musical instruments.

    Compared to my Chev Suburban, this is a delight to drive, I made a mistake and did not buy an automatic. Otherwise this lil car is just the right thing for economy

  • I love my Pretty Tight Cruiser - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    I have had this car for a little over a year. I LOVE the inside design, mine is bright blue so the whole dash is blue. The stock stereo system is actually SICK, it has crazy bass. Its comfortable, fun, and fairly reliable.

  • Love it - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    I traded in my Jeep Grand Cherokee for this fun, zippy little car after renting one while on vacation. I have always wanted a convertible, and living in Austin, we have the perfect weather for it, seeing as we really only have about 2 weeks of winter here. It is such a blast to leave work, put the top down and take the long way home. I get lots of comments on how cute it is compared to the standard 4 door model.

    I drive 200 to 350 miles per day in the car. The car is comfortable, quiet, and has lots of room. Ive had the car since the end of February and now have almost 4000 miles driven, March.

    Love to drive it. Only get around 18 miles to the gallon. Doesnt turn well in close quarters. Doubt I will keep it.

  • PT is the best bang for the buck in NYC - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    I love my little tank. It takes the streets of NYC without fail and the only problem in the gas. For a little car it drinks gas in traffic. I love the fact it is little for parking and the room is great inside. For the money I love it in Brooklyn, NY and with the cost so low I can get the bumpers re-painted from everyone hitting me when parked. A++ for anyone in NYC who wants a car!

  • If you have a big butt like me - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    Then this might not be the car for you. I traded in my luxury car for this due to the recession and I love that its dependable and economical re gas, service and repairs. Its a little noisy (but I admit I was spoiled) but the cost differential makes up for it. Oh and dont go without Cruise control. I hate that Im missing cc.

  • Fun Fun Fun - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
    By -

    This car is just plain fun. I have always driven large SUVs because of kids, but loved the look of the PT Cruiser. I bought this one for a steal and I LOVE it. It is responsive. It makes me happy to drive it. It never fails. The positioning of the instruments have taken getting used to, but I think it all lends to the different kind of car you see from the out side. Fuel economy is a about 20 city 24 highway for me. The seats do stain very easily so I bought covers. I love driving this car.
