I have always wanted a PT Cruiser, and the opportunity finally presented itself, I am thrilled! I own and ride a Harley, and feel the same excitement and anticipation of customizing this car and owning it forever, that I did and do about my bike. I have found myself giggling outloud while driving, hopefully the tinted windows hide my apparent newly aquired insanity :p.

Zero problems in 80000 miles. Car is as tight now as it was new. Car is as comfortable now as it was new - no noticeable wear on anything except brakes and tires. Car drives as well today as it did new. Paint and interior look as good today as they did new. Spends most of its life outside subjected to the elements (salesman's car). Versatile as a minivan without the bulk. Only service has been recalls and routine maintenance. Liked it so well we bought another only a loaded Limited this time.

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.

Nice on a long trip, holds a lot of stuff. Front is low to the ground. Be careful over speed bumps and steep drive ways. No problems so far @ 19000 miles.

I love this car, it looks and handles like a dream. Lost of pep for a 4 banger!!! Im thinking about stepping up to the 2003 turbo.
