Good car in suburbia
I bought this 01 pt cruiser with 48k miles on it. It has been okay as a car. Incredibly fuel inefficient for the size and power of the car. With such poor fuel economy, I expect all wheel drive features or more horsepower. The car would be a great car for someone in a mild climate with flat terrain. In Vermont, this car is dangerous to drive during the winter and can barely get up a paved road with a hill on a clear day. The handling is clunky at best with a wide turn radius and a strange weight distribution. Don’t get this car if you have any commute or drive in the winter. Summer driving to the Senior center and back seems appropriate.
Unreliable
At first I loved my car it was everything I had been looking for! Drove it a little over and I have had to change the brakes ever 2 months. It started overheating about 3 hours away from home. Replace temperature gauge and water pump, A month later had to do it all again! This car is SOLD! Never again will I have a PT. Too many problems has about 50,000 miles. NOT reliable at all.

PT X 2
My Husband and I both own PT's one is a 2001 and one is a 2002 purchased a month apart. We both love them and we have had them now about three years. I was rear ended by a young girl going 55 mph and no damage was done to me or my PT.
Love the car
I love my PT for it's unique and functional styling and genuine fun to drive! The design concept of retro car and mini-mini van versatility is perfect for my needs. The upright seating position is a plus for stiff knees. Fit and finish are excellent and with the dual exhaust, running boards and detailing I've added...it's the coolest PT in these parts. Going for the Turbo!
Most fun car I've ever had
Great car! Decent gas mileage (22) around town. I've only had it on long trips about 5 times so 99% has been in town. I have the standard shift which is much more suited to this vehicle than the automatic.
