2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser 4dr Wagon (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
Review
This is my second PT. The first was an 02. Both were five speed and got surprisingly good mileage-22/28. While I like the keyless entry on the 07 but the reliability has not been as good as the 02: I have replaced the AC fan (28000), THE CLUTCH (29000), and the control arms (31000). When I traded the 02 in on the 07 it had 73000 miles and the only thing I replaced were wheel bearings. The 5 speed is fun to drive addition to providing better acceleration-a common complaint-and better mpg.
Favorite Features
The inferno red color and the beautiful fit and finish.
Suggested Improvements
Get rid of that tent canvas cloth on the seats. The only way to keep them looking good is shampooing them constantly. Keep offering the 5 speed.
Not too sure

Review
Very upset with this purchase. Have only had a few months and my engine light is on. Today as I drove it, it started bucking, wouldn't go over 30 mph. I've read many reviews today about this being a common problem. (another site). The dealer can't get me in today, so I'm SOL. I am paying quite a bit for this car, and having it for such a short amount of time and this is wrong. Not happy.
Favorite Features
Love the design of the car. The old style look outside as well as the dash. Comfy to ride in, too.
Suggested Improvements
I'd say finding out why so many issues on a car that should not have this many.

Presently I have 83,000 miles on my PT Cruiser. I've only had to replace brakes once, tires once and of course numerous oil changes!!! I do a lot of highway driving and get decent mileage, about 25/mpg. Its a joy to drive!
Favorite Features
I love the interior and my vanilla color!
Suggested Improvements
New fabric for the seats, watermarks!!!

Review
I bought this car for a franchise that I later sold but kept the car. At 20K miles it needed new brake pads & rotors and again at 40K miles!! The A/C compressor died at 30K. Now, the check engine light is coming on and it is driving very rough. There is only 40K miles on this car, folks! I would never have bought a Chrysler if it was not the car of choice for the franchise I owned at the time and will NEVER buy one again.
Favorite Features
The body style is cool and the body is pretty solid.
Suggested Improvements
Fix the obvious design problems with this vehicle such as brakes & engine check light (I looked on-line and this is a common problem). Improving the gas mileage would also be a good thing...mine gets terrible mpg!

Review
I bought my '07Cruiser touring edition in '07 and like many features of this car including: the old style look of a 1940's car, the dash board features (outside temp., compass, avg. mi. per gal., mi. till empty..etc.), good cd player, good ac and heat, unique "handle bar" on passenger side, well thought out middle console with 3 cup holders and middle storage with sliding arm rest, smooth ride, good brakes and easy gas pedal, back seats fold down and can come out for plenty of cargo room, stylish interior of textured material. Feels more upscale than you actually pay for it. I recommend this car to those who appreciate old style of cars & who want something that looks nice w/o paying alot.
Favorite Features
style of the car. Personally think it looks slickest in black. Looks more upscale than you pay for it.
Suggested Improvements
Better fabric - water stains it!! buyer's stay away from the fabric! Better fuel economy - 20 city 26 hwy. More comfortable seats w/ seat adj. Had in the shop at 26k some miles to replace the front axle. good thing it was still covered under warranty and was replaced for free!!: )no other problems

Review
i love my pt cruiser, i never get tired of it, or get tired of driving it...i love the cool vanilla color, but i wish that it was red cause thats my fav color, i love the ride its very comfortable and smooth, handling is amazing, i can zip around curves like a sports car...it has really good power for a non-turbo, well at least mine does...if you want a lil extra power add a cold air intake, it makes it a lil zippier plus it gives it a nice sounding growl...i love almost everything about the car except for the gas mileage it gets decent but i expected better...i just hate that chrysler is fixin to stop making them...i highly recommend this vehicle.
Favorite Features
power, looks, features, ride, handling, just about everything.
Suggested Improvements
gas mileage could be better, interior dash could be made a little better, mine has a annoying rattle in the dash that i cant seem to find, drives me crazy, plain factory alloy wheels are the ugliest ive seen, needs improving...thats it

Review
I am retired. Great car/suv for short trips. Entry comfort is perfect/style has no equal. No mechanical problems. Cheap to buy and maintain and insure. Production has ended at the end of 2009. Parts will be available for years. I think Chrysler made a mistake in getting rid of this one. HHR sales have never equaled PT's. This car/suv will be a retro classic and we all want to go back to the past.

Review
I always loved the look of the PT so I broke down and bought one in 2007. Since my purchase have had it in the shop 4 times for check engine light and now I am having to replace the brakes and rotors and barely have 20K miles. Service personnel said they have had this trouble with the PT Cruisers. Why did'nt they tell me that when I bought it? No wonder Chrysler is needing a bailout when they make such bad cars. I have never bought a new car that needed any major mechanical work before 30K and most didn't need work until 60K miles. I am very disappointed in this car and will never buy a Chrysler again.
Favorite Features
Fold down back seats and style of car.
Suggested Improvements
If brakes are bad at 20K do something to improve them. Better gas mileage. more comfortable seating.

I love my PT! My kids enjoy riding it and think it looks cool. I wish it got better gas mileage and I hate the interior fabric. It stains just from water so it makes it bad with 3 kids. Lots of room in the hatch back. Would recommend buying this car.
Favorite Features
Color black, interior design, shape of body
Suggested Improvements
Better gas mileage for sure! Different facric, there has to be something wrong with it!
I love my PT Cruiser!

Review
After months of research and reading reviews on this site and others, I bought my PT Cruiser in Augusy 2008. I absolutely love it! It's cool looking and fun to drive. I down sized from an Explorer so the extra miles per gallon is also a plus. It could do with a little more power on the highway though. I haven't had any problems with it in the 4 months I've owned it.
Favorite Features
The interior design is very unique. I still have enough cargo room for myself and my 2 kids. It's small on the outside, but still roomy for the 3 of us on the inside.
Suggested Improvements
More power - it tends to accelerate slowly on the highway. Slightly better gas mileage. I don't like having to cycle through car mileage, trip mileage and outside temp. It would be nice to have it already on the screen. Power driver seats would be nice too.
