  Hot Little Car - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By MRWizard - April 10 - 2:00 am

  Straight from the factory this car is FUN!! Compared to the standard PT, the Turbo handles better, stops faster, and has such features as antilock brakes, traction control, sport seats, 17" wheels, and of course, a very impressive engine. From shopping malls to car rallies, this is a car does it all. A comment recently made to me sums up my feeling about the PT Turbo. I was recently at a "luxury" dealership, surrounded by 50,000 dollar plus cars. One very stately looking gentleman walked over to me and said: "Boy, that is some car". Boy, was he was right! By the way, if you buy one of these cars, you had better get use to the attention it draws.

  A trusted companion - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Fondoondee - April 6 - 6:16 pm

  Ive owned the car since new and havent had a single problem. Driving experience increased immeasurably when I added 4 new high performance tires. Always use manual shift option in automatic and car responds nimbly. Front and back bumpers are poorly made (crack easily) but inexpensive (relatively) to replace. Solid commuter car

  Little Big Criuser - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Thrifty Old Fart - March 14 - 11:10 am

  I bought this car because it was my wife2Bs symbol of good luck. Good luck I wont comment on, but it has lived up to and fulfilled all my expectations. I had owned three turbo engined cars before the PT (Volvo 850, Mazda 626, Saab 700) and swear by the turbo technology and engine boost. The surprising thing about the PT is the versatility and expansiveness of the interior (can haul 8 2x4s inside!) and grown people can fit comfortably in the rear seat. I have had no trouble with the turbo, indeed when the oil price went sky high I stopped using the recommended premium and switched to regular with hardly any power loss. I am at 70K mi. now and about to get my 2nd set of brakes & tires.

  13 yrs and going Great car - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Bill - January 26 - 12:14 am

  I bought the GT turbo in 2003 in California. Its electric blue and has great pick up, speed and I love all the interior space. Strange though it is an automatic and has the auto stick. It must be a more rare version. I drove it home to NYC 3 yrs later and have driven it since then to October 2016. We do love it but Im taking over babysitting for grandchildren and wish to purchase a new car to replace it. Its a shame as I only have 29k miles on it. It has done its job and would recommend the car to anyone. Wish they still made them.

  Put fun back in the saddle - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By #Wizzzer - January 3 - 8:46 am

  The PT Cruiser has put the fun back into driving for this 260 lb 62 yr old retired computer pro. I had gotten so I hated driving anymore. I loved the old cars with personality, this has it and more. It handles like a sports car, its extremely fun to drive, comfortable, economical to operate and the Limited Edition has every toy a guy could want on a car (leather heated seats???). To top it off it turns heads, everyone wants to look at it and ask questions about it. This little car gets a workout everyday in the Ozark mountains and pulls like a champ strong and smooth, even on our rocky back roads. I absolutely love it and would buy another in a minute.

  Love to Cruise - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Turbo Mama - December 8 - 10:00 am

  I have always loved PT Cruisers. It was the perfect car for my handicapped daughter with the height of it and big door openings. I got the silver one and plan to get ghost flames painted on it. It is extremely comfy on roadtrips. By far my favorite vehicle ever ! ! !

  Excellent retro car - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By seawolfe - November 6 - 2:00 am

  I got the turbo because I wanted some power along with the style. I had to add chrome that Chrysler "forgot" to enhance the retro styling. But after its mostly done, Im very satisfied with the auto.

  Test drive a GT and youll drive it home - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Jeff V - November 6 - 2:00 am

  When PT Cruiser first came out I test drove it, loved the looks and the functionality, but it lacked power. I dont know what the clown at Edmunds was thinking when he wrote the turbo still lacks power. WRONG!
