This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Head-turning styling, passenger/cargo flexibility, generous standard features list for price.
Cons:
  • No high-performance engine option (yet), tight cargo space when rear seat is in use.

    I work in the used car business, so I see and drive just about every make and model of car out there. The PT Cruiser I own is as solid as the day I bought it. It has held up better than many of the much vaunted Hondas I see on a daily basis.

    I bought the car used with 24,000 miles. I have replaced 2 batteries ( I drive short distances) I get 22 mpg (city) and 35(hwy) The car has cruise control. I have added a custom air intake and conical filter, which helps mileage and greatly improves access to the battery!

  • Its A "Dream" - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser

    It looks awesome. It turns heads. It is fun to drive. It is roomy. Thats why you buy it. For those who complain about its performance - go buy a sports car. This car, with its 2.4L engine, was not meant to go 0-60 in a sec. Our Dream Cruiser replaced a 6-cyl. minivan, and the PT has more pep then the minivan (weight to engine ratio a factor). This is the MOST fun Ive ever had with a car - and that is its purpose. And it does get you from point A to point B.

    I have NO complaints with the Cruiser that warrant criticism. I have owned many cars and am now retired. My Cruiser is a delight to drive. Very nostalgic - a SPECIAL car amongst so many "cookie cutter" designs on the road with little or no individuality.

    Compact on the outside, roomy on the inside. VERY comfortable. Solid, stable ride - its a heavy car, and not kicked around by winds, even tho it is taller than most cars. A lot of car for the money. I hear calls for better performance and better mileage - those things usually go in opposite directions, and Im happy with it as is. Good pep, mileage (auto) at 22 overall right now, and its climbing as I put on more miles. All cars are compromises - this one suits me perfectly.

    We have not had this car very long but so far we love it.Very versital,comfortable,And best of all fun.Some have a problem with the power,but we find it more than sufficiant for a family/commuter car. Its not meant to be a sports car.The interior is as nice as the exterior and it is very comfortable. Would highly recommend this car.
