Overview & Reviews

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.

• Head-turning styling, passenger/cargo flexibility, generous standard features list for price.

• No high-performance engine option (yet), tight cargo space when rear seat is in use.

  I would not buy another PT Cruiser unless it was just an extra car for fun,they have no pick up and take way too much gas for a 4cyl. I get 14 in town and 17 on the highway and with a little tank and that kind of gas mileage, I am always at the pump.

  Distinguished Transportation - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By PT Cruiser advocate - April 2 - 10:00 am

  I researched heavily for a dependable commuter automobile. However, the PT Cruiser stands out, in my opinion, as an incredibly functional, appealing, affordable automobile on virtually all measures. The exterior and interior are well thought out designs. The car feels extremely solid. The boredom of commuting has been resolved with the PT. I am very satisfied with my Silver Touring edition.

  worst car i ever owned and this is my second pt cruiser - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By myptcruiser - March 21 - 5:06 am

  I have owned 2 pt cruisers, a 2001 and 2002. I do not know why I bought the second one. Both had the same problems - replaced radiator $1200 both times; suspension problems with tie rods, wheel hub assembly. If I open the hatchback it causes my brake lights to fail, because according to Chrysler dealership, the wiring rubs as I open the hatchback. The camshaft sensor had to be replaced $350. Now it is going out again after being replaced by the Chrysler dealership less than 8 months ago. Very expensive to repair. Do not buy this car! You can find them available for sale everywhere - have you ever wondered why? Be glad they no longer make this car.

  Love at first site, now I have one! - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By richsolar - March 15 - 2:00 am

  We are thrilled with the PT. We got the base model in a beautiful dark blue. This car is so far from stripped for a base, it feels like a luxury car! The 5 speed is smooth and very peppy, I have no power complaints at all. Interior space is as great as the outside is very cool and that is saying a lot. One other very fun feature which is free is the camaraderie of PT owners who always wave at each other!

  Will never buy again. - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By vickad76 - February 18 - 8:46 am

  Was dreaming about buying this car for about two years. Finally a year ago Ive made enough money and bought the car of my dreams for $7,000.00 with 60,000 mi on it. For the first half of a year I really enjoyed it, but suddenly in the middle of a winter it stopped shifting gears. After I added transmission fluid, it worked well till the spring. Once it got to be warmer the old problems went back, and the car would stop shifting gears whenever it likes. Now I went through three months of nightmares already and need to pay about $2,000 for the repair, for the warranty is already expired. It was the last Chrysler vehicle Ive bought.

  Very reliable,firm sporty ride. Grips the road well, but under powered. Still cant get used to window controls in center panel instead of doors. But great ride and no problems electrical or mechanical since delivery.

  At 14.5 MPG, a tank gets as good gas milage. And I think I should take stock in Exxon. Some things take getting used to: window switches, short shifting action, easy clutch.

  I love mine! - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Darlene - December 27 - 8:13 am

  I have 97,000 miles on my 02 and the only thing I have had go out was the front suspension, but it was covered under my 100,000 mile warranty. Other than oil changes, tires and 1 new battery, I have had no problems and would buy another one.
