Single Owner Vehicle
I ordered my PT Cruiser in 2000 and waited around 8 mo for it to arrive. It didn't disappoint. I still love my PT Cruiser seven years and 100,000 miles later. It only broke down once, just after the 30K warranty ended. The torque converter went. After writing to Chrysler, they agreed to pay 75% of the repair and towing bills. I purchased this car primarily for its comfort. I have a very bad back and can't do bucket seats. This car is extremely comfortable. This car has served me and my family very well. I'm not looking forward to purchasing a new car. Whenever I bring up the subject, my children are nearly moved to tears.
My little hot rod
I love this car. It has features found on the more expensive cars. It is great to drive. You can see the road and it is easy to enter and exit the car. I will buy another cruiser. I hope it lasts as long as my Neon which has 167,000 miles and still going strong.

I'm in love with the PT Cruiser
I love this car. Its comfortable, easy on gas, certainly turns heads every- where I go. Its roomy, holds a lot of stuff. Lots of people ask me about my PT Cruiser, and I tell them all the same thing. I Just Love My Cruiser. Also, I think it has all the speed anyone needs, it certainly goes up hills great. It really takes off. I couldn't be happier with the PT Cruiser. I want to keep it forever.
2 PT's in my garage!
I bought my first base model PT 4/15/00. It was the first privately owned PT in Fargo and only 1 of 2 in town for about 6 months. GREAT car! Traded in a 300ZX and sold an Explorer to get it. Sparks went out early, did have to do the radiator replacement at about 100k. Timing belt made it to 173k (OOPS). Replaced alternator at about 169k. Now the head gasket is out at 174k and time to get into a new car. Lo and behold I found "Silver Stud Deuce" PT but this is the 2001 Limited Edition with only 23,200 miles on it! What a gem! Somebody along the way didn't take the hood stand off b4 trying to shut it but that's the only blemish. Show room quality and even smells new!
PT Excellence
Zero problems in 80000 miles. Car is as tight now as it was new. Car is as comfortable now as it was new - no noticeable wear on anything except brakes and tires. Car drives as well today as it did new. Paint and interior look as good today as they did new. Spends most of its life outside subjected to the elements (salesman's car). Versatile as a minivan without the bulk. Only service has been recalls and routine maintenance. Liked it so well we bought another only a loaded Limited this time.
