Used 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser Consumer Reviews
Avoid all PT's regardless of year
This car has great body lines, turns a lot of heads, and at times can be fun to drive. My PT is 3 years old and is worth only $2000 more than what I sold my 1997 Neon for. It does not hold its value and all Chrysler dealerships are EXTREMELY UNPLEASANT to work with when dealing with problems (I've been to 3 different ones and had to embarass the manager in front of other customers to get the car fixed - and it was a SAFETY ISSUE). This is the last chrysler product I will ever buy and wouldn't recommend their products to any one...EVER.
Unreliable
This car is extremely unreliable. It has been one problem after another. The latest problem is a smell of a burning electrical system. Do not purchase this headache.

Burst baloon
This is a fun vehicle to own and drive. I love it. The downside is Chrysler has changed parts company that have me replacing my control arm bushing because they split after 22 thousand Km. putting me outside the warrant period.
TOO MUCH HYPE
Not a bad car- No power when a/c is on-
Reliability?
You don't have to buy a Honda to get relaibility. My PT has not been to the shop for any unscheduled repair, other than brake pads at 40K miles. This car does SO many things well, and it is really a bargain. I wish the economy was a little better, but thats my only complaint. It sis room and comfortable, and has great utility. I was even able to haul a clothes dryer home from sears, in the box with the hatch closed!
