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.

PT stands for "Perfect Transportation" - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By Rich Schell - August 7 - 4:53 pmStill the best value on the market for style and versatility. This car drives like a car twice its size. Has a solid feel and confident handling.

Base Convertible is an amazing value - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By Kasia - June 19 - 6:36 amI purchased my 05 base convertible for less than $18K. It now has 19,000 miles on it. It is far better built, better looking, and better performing than its modest price would suggest. I average about 28 mpg in mostly highway driving, but the mpg drops dramatically in city cycle driving. Caveats for winter drivers: "SmartGlass" windows freeze in cold weather, and the side defoggers are weak for harsh winter conditions. Overall, a great value!

Great car! - 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By Mikekoz13 - March 21 - 2:40 pmWhat a great car. After totaling my Aztek, I looked at a lot of car models. They all looked very generic to me with the exception of a couple of Hondas & Toyotas.... and the Cruiser. I dont pay extra for the "privilege" of owning a Japanese car so I looked at the Cruiser at my salesmans suggestion. I couldnt believe I could get a car this nice for an on the road price of less than $14000. I was a little worried about gas mileage after reading some reviews but Im averaging 27MPG combined and almost 31MPG highway. WOW! Im only sorry that I didnt buy a Cruiser the last time I purchased a vehicle two years ago.
