PT Bruiser - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By Lingomaster - April 19 - 2:00 amMy wife wanted a new car and the Cruiser was cute, practical and had sufficient space to haul antiques in. I agreed with her selection criteria, yet I was able to persuade her to wait until the 2003 model came out. I test drove a 2002 Limited Edition, which lacked some extra oomph to catch up to its cuteness and functionality. Our PT Turbo offers just that and more. Overtaking other vehicles is no longer a chore. No, it has indeed become a pleasure to leave others standing in place. Here, on the Autobahns of Germany, our Patriot Blue Cruiser feels right at home when it can strut its stuff at 100mph plus. My wife is now happy we waited too.

Better than expected - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By Bigturk - March 2 - 10:00 amWe especially like the trunk configuration with the shelf for place items that could break, like eggs or glass when we do our shopping. It is easier to get a 50-pound sack of dog food out of the Cruiser than out of the Taurus we sold. Like the way it sits and handles. Enough power, but needs better gas mileage.

Buda Love - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By Lady Ech0 - January 24 - 2:00 amI named my 2003 Steel Blue Cruiser "Buda", because its rounded features just make you smile - like Buda. With a 5-speed manual transmission, the car handles even better than anticipated, corners well at high speeds, and has lots of power. One thing to know, you must have your hands on the wheel while driving, especially on rough roads because the steering is sensitive to the road, probably due to proximity of linkage to wheels and axle. But this is true of many cars. The PT Cruiser is one of the best cars on the road. I love it and I cant wipe the grin off my face while driving my "Buda."

No TurboLag as Stated in RoadTest Review - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By Ernst - January 18 - 10:00 amI just love my PT Cruiser.This is my second PT Cruiser. The first is a 2002 Patriot Blue Limited Edition.It looks great ,handles like a sports car, but the car was just too slow. Now comes along my 2003 Electric Blue 5 speed Turbo. Handling is even better then before. I now have the power to back up the PT Cruisers fast looking exterior. Anybody want to buy a 2002 Patriot Blue Limited Edition PT Cruiser?

form and function - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By trigger46 - December 1 - 10:00 amThis car was the perfect choice for me. The design flows as flawlessly as a well turned ceramic pot. And, like a beautiful bowl, it is functional as well. There is room in this tidy little car to carry all my treasures. The 5- speed was my choice as the automatic lacked enthusiasm. With the rebate and dealer discount, I paid $12,900.(no delivery charge or extra fees). I love this little guy....!

Outstanding - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By User540243 - December 1 - 10:00 amThis vehicle is awsome. I have been able to carry a bigger payload in the PT Cruiser than I was able to carry in our 2000 Voyager. It is a dream for grocery getting and my friends love the interior comfort. I have a 610 friemd who has moe leg room in our passengers seat than his full size sedan. The PT Cruiser has put fun into driving for us.

Love my Electric Blue PT - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By Marcie - October 20 - 3:33 amIve had my PT for 3.5 years and just love it! The novelty hasnt worn off one bit. They have great family pricing specials on them so am looking at upgrading. I wont get any other car. Its a dream to drive and so much fun. I cant say anything bad about it at all. Ive never had it in for one repair, just regular maintenance checks. It almost breaks my heart to trade in my Petey but with the great deals ($7000 off), I cant turn down getting a 2007.

My PT GT - 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
By Corvair Kid - July 8 - 2:00 amTwo weeks ago I broke down and bought my first new car. I got an electric blue (03)PT (GT) Crusier. I was looking at 04s and they had a loaded blue 03 left on the lot. I got a great deal on it. I got 6k off sticker. I have not regretted it. It is hard to believe that such a litle car can have so much room. I am 62" and I have ample space. The turbo really gives the car a kick. If you get the opportunity to drive one, you will probably own one. Great car for the price.
