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.

  Fun car to drive - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Blake - November 10 - 2:43 pm

  I bought this car when I transferred to L.A. and couldnt be happier. It is fun to drive, great retro look and has excellent pickup. I looked at several convertibles and found the Cruiser to be the best value for the money. Has the weight and feel of the pricier convertibles - more car than the Miata. Bought the fully loaded model and got a better discount.

  I like the fuel economy. That I have a better view, because I sit up higher than a sedan. Visibility all round is very good because of the larger mirrors and windows. The metallic blue color I selected (electric blue) really stands out on a sunny day and evenings.

  I love this Car!!! - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By dolores Signore - March 21 - 8:23 am

  I have only had my P.T. turbo Cruiser convertible for a month and just love driving it, its not a light car but built heavy and strong and tight. This car is great on corners and has an excellent pick up when you give it a little extra gas. the top is easy to put up and down the boot is a little cumbersome til you get used to putting it on correctly. It has been fabulous on gas, and Im getting more mileage to the gallon then it represents on the stats. The trunk is not large but the back seats go down and there is an opening from the trunk into the back seat for larger items. This is the most fun Ive had in years. Dolores

  PT Convertible in Annapolis - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By John K. - January 9 - 7:06 am

  Ive put 30,000 miles on my PT convertible in 18 months and have yet to return to the dealer with problems. Its a fun car, but is very functional for a convertible. Four people can ride in comfort, you can flip the rear seats down for long cargo. The trunk lid is an issue, as you must nearly stand on your head to access the trunk. Love the car!

  Great car - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Dick Studdard - December 28 - 12:23 am

  Drove the car 10,000 miles and then the crank bearing went out on me. The crank bearing was installed wrong and caused the seal to also go causing the motor to lose all the oil. The dealer had to instal a short block in the car. The car handles great and I am very pleased with the power in the high output 4.2 turbo motor. It handles like a sport car.

  Pt-Perfect Transportation - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By C.M. - December 23 - 11:26 pm

  I absolutely love my PT Crusier. This will be my second one. I upgraded from a touring to a limited. I drive 400+ miles a week and get great gas mileage. Great handling on the road. Very cute look..love the look. Priced right! As long as they are made will be only car ever owned. Storage capability is excellent. Chrysler has surpassed any other car maker with the pt cruiser. No comparisons! In a category all its own.
