A Bud's Opinion

Performance is normally thought of as being very objective, determined by a stop watch. But performance can also be subjective. The PT Cruiser with four adults on board going up an incline is not going to accelerate much. But the PT will usually end up at the next red light with all the "jack rabbits" it was with at the previous red light

PT Cruiser, a great little car.

I find the PT Cruiser a very versatile auto. I purchased a new clothes dryer and a new dishwasher and a compound miter saw and transported them home all at once plus my wife and myself. Gas milage is not the best, (around 20 to 24 mpg). The ride is a sporty ride. I recommend this car to anyone who wants to have fun while driving.

After 107,000 miles I still am very fond of this car. Like the cargo capability. Have had many approving comments from total strangers on the car and the color. (Aqua Marine) Will willing cruise at 80mph all day if you ask that of it. With the Touring Suspension it corners very nicely. Great little car. Wish Chrysler would freshen the styling a little.

Not a gas saver

I have loved this car from day 1, although it is not a gas saver as a lot of people would like to think. these cars lack power and get about 22 on the highway. I installed a cold air intake and I now get 24 to 25 mpg and a little extra oomph, only drawback is on heavy pedal it is loud (Air being drawn into intake) also had problem with trans at 48k miles and dealer would not help with cost, pump went out.
