They tell me they see no problem. but keep the car for 2-3 weeks. they replace the master cyclinder brakes.it wasnt a year old yet. signal lights stop working if I use my hazard light.The sun has also damaged the d

The PT Cruiser is just too heavy for 150hp and 146ft/lbs of torque. Chrysler also needs to address the drivability issues caused by turning the AC on. A car in this day and age that labors over its AC compressor is just not acceptable. Otherwise, a cool, well-built car.

A Let Down

This is a fun car to own. Cruiser owners seem to be somehow linked once on the road. It is common to exchange a "thumbs up" when passing a Cruiser. I am disappointed in the performance and the gas mileage to the point of wanting to sell the car although I will be holding on to it.

The PT Cruiser is a fun all around car, except for the suspension it could be a little tighter.

The editors say that the interior is not very good. Have they seen inside a limited PT? Chrysler uses the same materials in my PT that they use in the Mercedes C-class! The only thing that is disappointing (especially now) is the fuel economy. I have after-market rims and my fuel economy has dropped to about 16-17 MPG
