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.

I almost didn't buy this PT because of all of these needles about the lack of engine performance. But I drove it once and I was hocked. Below 65 it drives & handles like my old 1965 356SC Porsche. I don't baby this puppy and throw it around pretty well. Accelerating into highway traffic is a breeze! (Standard trans) Mileage in town is 23 MPG & I don't do enough highway to track it. Get a life people! You should have bought a standard!

2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser Touring

My Dad owns a 2001 PT Cruiser Touring. I really like it and it's pretty comfortable and looks nice. I've heard for a such a small engine it has better power than expected. I do have some complaints though. First of all the gas mileage on the PT Cruiser is a joke. It is a Chrysler so it has a plastic cheap looking dashboard but it doesn't look too bad. It has no front center console or rear folding center console for rear seat passengers. The back seats are uncomfortable because they are very straight and not reclined back. The rear power window buttons are basically on the ground so anything on the ground can roll the window down without you knowing. Other than those its very nice.

This is an extremely versatile car that is powerful enough for City driving, spacious enough to hold 5 people with luggage or packages in the back and decent fuel economy. It's well equiped, well built, and A LOT OF VALUE FOR THE MONEY!

I love this car. Its comfortable, easy on gas, certainly turns heads every- where I go. Its roomy, holds a lot of stuff. Lots of people ask me about my PT Cruiser, and I tell them all the same thing. I Just Love My Cruiser. Also, I think it has all the speed anyone needs, it certainly goes up hills great. It really takes off. I couldn't be happier with the PT Cruiser. I want to keep it forever.
