• 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.

  My PT - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By 1jerry1 - September 1 - 10:00 am

  We bought a PT to fill a void in our transportation needs. We needed a vechicle that we could take others in. All out other vechicles only transported 2 people. Also we did not want to spend a large amount on a car that would be used very little. This car will carry 4 adults and a child very comfortably and it rides like a much bigger automobile. Also a luxury equiped model with all the options was priced fairly. Fuel economy and performance are adequate but not impressive. Style, comfort, handling, and versatillity are great. Very quite inside as long as all windows and sunroof are closed. A very well designed vechicle and no problems at all.

  Fun car - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By budoinst - July 24 - 10:00 am

  We just purchased the Cruiser and got it loaded---Woody, sunroof, spoiler, etc. Unusally quiet, solid and fun to drive around. Extremely well done interior and exterior and very comfortable. The automatic could be better suited in gearing, but gets me where I need to go. The braking and handling are first rate and the accessibility and combination of seat movement is staggering and well laid out. A fun car that could only use a bit of power boosting.

  FANTASTIC !!! - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Pammie - July 15 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car used and its the best thing I could have ever bought. I absolutely LOVE it. Handles good, tho the U-turn capability is somewhat limited. I will definitely buy another one.

  In 25,000, no problems. Love this car. The PT is fun, versatile, and plenty responsive. I have the woody sides and the car gets lots of attention. I was scared to buy American, but I wouldnt hesistate to buy another one.

  Mellifluous! - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Brouhahaataja - June 17 - 2:00 am

  Mellifluous means "smooth and sweet, like honey." Thats this car. I got it a couple days ago and it has been an absolute joyance. The amount of features is incredible, the most important being the nice ride. Bumps that used to torture my old cars are all but forgotten in this one (I mean, you feel them, but you dont FEEL them). Yes, it has its negatives--a light weight that makes me question its winter fortitude, and 20-25 mpg is a lot less than what Im used to--but I kept my old car for those things. Overall, though, its a great car. Granted, I havent had it very long--but if anything goes awry, Ill be sure to write back!

  I call it Hercule - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Mahler - May 30 - 2:00 am

  The most fun I have ever had with a car. Sporty, yet functional and comfortable. When you close the door or hatch, it feels solid and not flimsy like some other cars under 20k. It has the best headlights I have ever had on a vehicle and it seems to hug the road very well for a smaller car. When I am on the highway, the big rigs dont push me around.

  Dream Cruiser - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Peterb - April 6 - 10:00 am

  I have had my PT Cruiser for about 8 months and lots of places that i go I get complimented on my car. I enjoy the look and style of the PT as it is unique. I have driven several hours at a time and find the drive to be comfortable and relaxing, even though traffic usually isnt. I have only positive things about my PT Cruiser to tell anyone.

  Body Creaking Noise - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Ernie Weber - February 22 - 5:40 pm

  Wife and I love this car which now has 79000 miles. Trouble free with great ride and handling and versatility. For the past year we have had a creaking noise in the chassis. Local mechanic cannot locate nor could local dealer. This noise occurs primarily after coming out of a right hand turn. Not while driving straight. Bouncing up and down while standing still fails to duplicate the noise. Has anyone had this problem and how was it fixed?

  The Perfect Car - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By Mami - February 19 - 5:20 pm

  I absolutly LOVE my PT Cruiser. Sure it could use a bit more power like everyone states but Im not in that big of a hurry. This car handles well, is very comfortable and I love all the space inside. I use to drive a small Hatchback and didnt want to loose that style but I wanted something a bit bigger than say a Mini. This car has everything I need and no wasted space. I highlt recommend the PT.

  New PT owner - 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  By LOVE MY BLUE PT - December 26 - 8:03 am

  I just bought this 02 Ltd.Ed. a month ago. I had a Ford Windstar which was monstrous and not a gas saver. Also kids are grown so no longer needed the size. My only complaint about this PT is gas mileage and power. Im getting about 20-22 mpg comb. Which isnt great for a 4 cyl. but I was getting 13-15 mpg on van. I put $55 filled it and got almost 2wks. Also running AC. So its better. The van to fill was nearly $100. Wish engine was a bit more powerful for getting out of sticky situations, but its not bad. But I love the style. Mine is pearl blue, mint and chromed out. its a head turner. Its built great, nice and tight and this one came w/every option so its blast to drive. Im having fun with it
