Faulty Transmission - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By ecartner - August 3 - 10:53 amAfter 70k miles, car begins to have a hard time cranking. At 90k miles, transmission goes completely out from "metal shavings". This was a well maintained car & should be on the road for longer with no problems. Ive found others online that have had the same problem. I will never buy another Chrysler in my life!

I love my cruiser - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By alba - July 23 - 7:43 pmPeople still stop to admire it, ask about its performance and tell me how beautiful and classy it is. I recently drove in the worst snowstorm of the year because I live an hour from the railroad station and the storm was not supposed to start so early. Traction was excellent, ABS worked beautifully. I had one unavoidable spinout and lived to tell about it...was able to stop; bothcar and I were unscathed. No less safe than my AWD vehicle was in similar circumstances. My only complaint is limited visibility at top of windshield. I have to maneuver a bit to see overhead traffic signals. e r p s t a e s room available in the back, and no "cage" is re

I used to love my car - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By Liz - April 29 - 6:10 amThis was the first car my husband and I bought new. I loved it right away. It was comfortable, fun to drive and it was so cute! But it started having problems at about 30,000 miles. It wouldnt start. The dealer replaced the battery. The day after we brought it back it wouldnt start again. Back to the dealer for something else to be replaced. We were told after taking it back to the same dealer for the 5th time to not come back! All in all its been in the shop 14 times in a little over two years! It always seems to be something electrical. Dont buy a 2003 PT Cruiser if you need a reliable car.

Get a Turbo! It Rocks! - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By Angelet - April 14 - 2:00 amReminds me of the 40 & 50s and we modified our cars. I cant think of a thing Id change except for a boost guage which I will take care of. The PT Turbo is quiet except when you pull the trigger. Hit the accellator at 20 MPH and you will get the surprise of your life. The wheels will spin, you are nailed in your seat and the motor screams. WOW!

A fast Cruiser - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By Peter, Paul and Mary - April 9 - 10:00 amWe already liked the Ltd, but this one is the best. It has all the versatility and room advantages of a mini- van/SUV/wagon (except a third row of seats which is useless anyway) and performs like a sports car (~7 seconds for 0-60 mph).

My Cruiser - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By BUMPPY - March 29 - 10:00 amI was dealing with several dealers before my purchase and Huling was upfront and very informative. Some dealers tried to sell me something I didnt want or need. I got the car, price, color and options I asked for, no more no less. It even will match my motorhome.

Cruisin - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By PT Cruiser - March 8 - 9:00 amBy 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!

Regency - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By Royel - February 14 - 10:00 amWe 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.
