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.

  Lots of fun!! - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Frankie - November 21 - 2:33 pm

  I have only had my PT Cruiser for a month but a week after we got it we went on vacation to the Great Smokey Mountains. It was wonderful riding through the mountains with the top down. The transmission was great going up and down the mountains. We didnt use the brakes much. I love the get up and go and the sound of the turbo. The trunk held all of our luggage, plus. You just have to bend over more to get to the trunk but that was fine. I traded a Lincoln Aviator for this car and it was the best thing I have done in a long time. No regrets!!

  Gas mileage is great! - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Sam and Linda - October 6 - 10:03 am

  We get 23-25 mph with air conditioning. We get 30+ on the highway. Plus, if a car cuts in front of you the PT is so easy to maneuver yet it hugs the road. We feel very safe in the car and its look is wonderful. We both love the PT so much out next and next and next car will be a PT Touring. Just wish we could get the Bright Blue color again. Hear its not available any more!

  I love my - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By ymilsis - December 13 - 10:23 pm

  P.T.is cute, I adore it. The performance, fuel economy, different look and more. I love all about it. She is an original! I always had luxurious European cars with big engines. I also spent lots of money for them. With P.T. I get the same pleasures for a lot less money. It is not as powerful engine as my previous cars, but I cant ask for more. Still, it is fast when you need to get out of the way, and that is what counts! With P.T. I am getting luxury and economy all in one cute little funky wagon! P.T. is a great women car! I am a female professional and P.T. makes me look good.

  My Second PT - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By PT Cruiser - December 7 - 4:03 pm

  This is the second PT Cruiser I have purchased. Had my first one for four years and just wanted to update. It is a reliable and fun car. I get good performance from the PT. It is easy for seniors to get in and out because it is a bit higher and our folks like to ride in my car. Seats 4 adults comfortably and can have 5 if younger children in back. There is enough leg room in both front and back. Good trunk space. Great for tailgating/picnics - having the table in the trunk area.

  Getcha one! - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Sarah - November 30 - 5:56 am

  People definitely have a "love-hate" relationship with the pt cruiser style; they either love it or they hate it. I, of course, loved it. When it first came out in 2001 it was too pricy for me but when I realized how steeply the price had dropped I had to have it. My previous vehicle was an SUV and this was an EASY change for us, a family of three. The cruiser is at least as roomy and much, much more fun. Ive always loved the exterior which hasnt changed much over the years and was pleasantly surprised with the interior of the 2006 as well. This car feels, rides and handles great. I cant believe the price is as low as many MUCH less impressive vehicles.

  So Far So Good - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Dave - November 11 - 1:20 pm

  Its still early, but so far my wife and I love the car. Turbo provides smooth power, fit and finish very good, ergonomics are great. Chrysler put a lot of thought into interior and it shows. Like most modern cars, under hood is crammed full.

  Ive only had my Cruiser for one week today and with each new day, I love it more. I have even washed it on my lunch hour! (Not something I would normally do.) For the price and features, you cant beat it.
