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

Disappointed

I am extremely disappointed in the value that my car has held. I bought almost a top of the line care and it is already worth less than 1/2 of what I paid for it. This car was not a good investment on my part. I am also disappointed in the power. Come on for 20,000 couldn't we get a little more power??

Underpowered and Blind Spots

We liked the looks of the Cruiser but have found it hard to drive. It has large blind spots at the rear quarter panels and is grossly underpowered. We often have trouble getting up hills at highway speed. Also the fuel economy is not great, 20mph at best. Had we known these items we would not have bought the car.

I love the looks, the versatility, almost everything BUT the darned gas mileage!! I get between 16 and 19 per gallon on a 4 cylinder car! That's unacceptable!
