I bought my 2001 5-speed PT Cruiser on February 19, 2014, and it has been nothing but perfect so far! I only paid $2,500 for it, 85,000 mi, and numerous people commented on what good condition it was in (I had test drove another PT at a different dealer; it was higher priced and was in bad condition). I learned to drive stick in this car; it is particularly more easy to stall in this car than in other stick shifts. It's not very good in the snow, so it's best to wait until the roads are plowed and salted to take it out. I have a lot of tall friends (around 6 ft), and for being a small car it has a lot of leg/head room! It is also a dream to parallel park and is very spacious on the inside!
Great alternative to an SUV

I have always wanted a car with a back-hatch (due to always owning large dogs). I purchased this car in 2011 with 132k from my mechanic. He combed through it with a fine tooth comb, so i knew it would be reliable. My car has leather seats, power everything and a sunroof. I enjoy the leather seats, being a dog groomer means lots of dog hair, but the leather is easy to clean. My only complaints are that the ride is a little noisy and rough (but i think it needs new shocks, being a 12 year old car), and i have had issues with the alloy wheels. the rims have slightly corroded (nothing visible to naked eye) but it was causing my tires to lose air regularly. bead seal was quick inexpensive fix.

Tremendous interior room and cargo hauling. High seating possition. Easy to drive. Love the styling. Nothing like it on the market. I have reluctantly sold the Cruiser after 16 years and 160,000 miles. Its replacement, Elantra GT, is just not the same. I still get heart throbs when I see a Cruiser on the road.

I bought my 2001 PT Cruiser in 2003 with 36K miles. I love the sunroof and the shelf in the back. It was always fun to drive and while Chrysler was not known for reliability, I didn't think I had a lot of problems because I am attentive to maintenance. I have had my car for 13 years and gone from 36k miles to 172k and STILL love it.

My used '01 PT was purchased a few months ago with high mileage - about 75k - from a dealer. It's a 5-speed, which really helps the 150hp engine with pick-up. The exterior is beautiful and seems so far to be well constructed and road-worthy. The interior is very comfortable, but has some odd control placements, and only the driver's seat has a center arm rest. For such a high mileage car (for it's age) this baby has been a cherry piece. It still drives like the newer model I test drove, and is quite fun to pilot. Gas mileage could be better (I average 23), but it could be worse. All in all, excellent buy. I may well consider another.

Bought in 12/2001. Now has 98K. Replaced suspension & exhaust w/better quality aftermarket. Car has no lean into curves like other PT's. Replaced 16x6 wheels w/17x7. Replaced air cleaner w/cold air box for more power & better sound. Sunroof glass shattered, brake caliper bent, bad LED light but no other probs. Always synthetic oil. Never a prob w/inspection. Disabled & it fits my needs perfectly. Cargo area will gobble up anything you want to put in it. Fits 4 tall adults w/no complaints. Can't really fit 5 because of load limit not because there's not enough space. 3 recalls all important. One of the best designed cars I've ever seen. Daimler cheapened subsequent years so avoid them.

I had to have this car when I bought it, and haven't regretted the purchase since. It's the biggest little car I've ever had (bought my first car in 1961). It's great in town - fits into small parking spots. And it handles well on the parkways and highways. The fact that it doesn't have the power of my previous 8-cylinder cars was a consideration when I bought it, but, for a 4-cylinder it does well, even at high speeds. It also handles snow and ice like a dream. Powers me through all kinds of winter weather.

A quote from the guy who sold it to me in 2002. I second it. At 227,000 miles, the trans failed, so it's time. It breaks my heart to send it away. Rest of the car is still like new. I've read the negatives, and maybe I was lucky. I did take care to maintain it. I just shopped around for new, and not car comes close to the interior design of the PT.

After owning a PT for 100,000 miles, I can only say it is an ok car. GM's 4cyls get better gas mileage and have more power. Ford's are more reliable. The turning radius is too big. The seats are hard, with only one arm rest for the driver and none in the back. Paint has lasted very well, it still shines. There are better options on the market that you should consider. I found out by my mechanic that this engine will be broken if the timing belt breaks

We bought our Cruiser Limited as part of an estate sale for $1,500. It had just 131,000 miles on it. It now has 165,000. The transmission control module has been replaced at a cost of about $500 and when I replaced the original wheels, it was discovered that both disc brake caliper mounts on the rear axle were shot. Replaced the entire rear axle assembly and rear brakes for about $1,000. The A/C compressor stopped recycling, so it will have to go to the shop for that. I have spent a lot of money on a 21-year-old car, but I really do like it and all other mechanicals are fine. The car had been hit on the left side, so that door is not from a Limited. When they replaced it, they put manual (toggle control) mirrors on it which I replaced. We can't seem to get a remote to program, but are content to unlock the passenger door and use the electric lock function to open the doors. The car's only problem since we purchased it is a sticky ignition that sometimes locks up.The car is comfortable and performs reasonably well with the 4OD transmission. Fuel mileage has been around 22 combined and 26 highway. There is a ton of cargo space and the interior configurations are amazing. It's great around town and great on the highway, cruising nicely at 70-75. It's tight and there is virtually no wind noise. We bought it as a second car..It was Motor Trend's Car of the Year in 2001 and I can understand why. Update 4-5-25: We sold the car about a year and a half ago..Fun to drive, but starting to nickel and dime us. We got $1,500 for it. Mileage was around 180,000. No major engine problems.

Purchase my 2001 Limited Edition this summer with 23,400km for $8200, it was coddled in a heated mancave garage along with the sellers collection, When the seller passed away, his widow sold off a few cars from the collection . PT Cruiser Limited Edition with Xenon semi wide body kit 235 45 17 yokohama Epic Alloys and lots other bling and do dads . The dealer brought it to my work at lunch hour. I was blown away by its condition its appearance with the body kit and lowering kit of -4 inch. Its stance really turned my head, Im amazed at how much attention it gets. Its was in pristine better than showroom condition. To date Ive put 10k on it. Still no issues, after some research, I discovered that the timing belt has a life expectancy of 6yrs, sold since its a 20 year old car for peace of mind I changed the timing belt, tensioner and water pump. So keep in mind, no matter what the mileage is, the timing belt has a 6 yr lifespan.

I've had great experience with this car, now nearing its end. The car has always run well and trouble-free, except for a cat converter replacement at about 110,000 miles. It drives well for a tall car, and with a stick shift it is fast enough. Loads of room to haul stuff. (I can get a couple of mopeds in the back.) I think it has been much underrated for practicality and utility. People think only of style when they think PT's, but that is hardly the whole story.
The design is poor, not a good snow car

My ex got this car used, at about 100k miles, for around $4k. From the beginning, I noticed that it seemed to have very poor suspension, and within a short time period the control rod and the tie rod ends started to fail on it. The car is now at 143k miles, and while the engine in it is still excellent and in good shape, the real Achilles heel of this car was its design. It was made for looks, and for mild climates; it's not made to last. The giant rear end on it seems to have proved too much for the frame design. The control rods went out twice over the 43k miles we had it: the suspension and ride were terrible, like a crackerbox really, and now that I'm dispensing with the car, the ball joints have failed, the tie rod ends (again), the CV joints have failed, all in the back of the car. Once it gets older, a bumpy road can cause steering to be tricky. The steering often pulled to one side, and the electrical system was also glitchy, failing several times in the rain, along with dead brake lights from time to time. I really don't recommend this for snowy climates. It's very bad in the snow; there isn't much clearance under the front bumper and it had a tendency to get stuck pretty easily. The high profile didn't handle wind well. As others have mentioned, the rims had a constant tendency to peel, and the tires lost air constantly. On the upside, it had good gas mileage and it never did break down completely on me. It was a dogged car, a good engine in a poorly made body, and if you're a car type in a warm climate who has the time and inclination to fix its little foibles I'm sure it might even be a good deal. The engine is still just cherry in it, it goes at a nice clip once it gets going. I don't hate this car, but it's been very expensive and troublesome mostly due to the frame, electrical and tire issues.

Was love at 1st sight, I order it and waited months. Have loved driving it every since. At 199,000 miles she still starts like the day I bought her. I got the stick. The clutch held out until 165,000 mi. Had to replace the fan motor at about 100,00 and replace timing belt as general maintenance. If you take proper care and maintenance it goes for ever. It is fun to drive and handles very well on the curves. Took it to Ohio (3500 mi) and back when it had about 185,000 mi on it with no problems and that was with it filled from floor to roof and back hatch to front seats with boxes of my mother-in-laws belongings. We love you smiley! Just bought a Dodge Caliber, but I'm keeping my Smiley!
PT Cruiser - Excellent To Own

Our PT Cruiser was purchased new in 2002 and has been a blast to own as a daily driver. My parents even bought a PT Turbo. The design and build quality are first rate. People still stop me today and complement how attractive it is. The interior has loads of room and due to the multi-configurations of the seating can haul larger loads than expected. It is a mini, fuel efficient, SUV. The back seat height makes it comfortable for rear passengers to the extent that it is the preferred lunch transport for colleagues - and they are driving BMW 5 Series. I would recommend it to anyone seeking a well built, stylish, fun to drive alternative to the boring econoboxes (Civic, Scion, VW).

I bought my PT Cruiser after I had rented one and survived a night of terrible storms (tornado ratings) in the midwest. We were blasted by baseball sized hail and winds that rocked street signs, trees, and cars around us. I put the car in park turned off the engine and we rode the storm with no difficulty. I felt safe as I could have been in a home. I took my car half way cross country and never had a problem all the way. Thanks Chrysler for a great vehicle.

Car has never broken down, or left me stranded. It has always gotten up to speed very quickly, and never stalled, hesitated, or made noises. The sound system in this car, is what stands out most. It's loud, and has great bass. The car is also great on gas.

I bought a 2001 PT Cruiser Limited Edition in March 2002. Since it was last year's model and the 2002's were in, I got a good deal. It is very fun to drive and has better acceleration than many V-6 engines I have driven (5-speed). There is plenty of room for tall adults in the front and back and there is plenty of storage space. The look and design on the interior and exterior are great. Though I have put only 6,000 miles on it so far, it has been a reliable car.

Bought 2001 PT Cruiser in 2003 with 34,000 miles on it. At 86,000 overheating caused head gasket to blow. Went ahead and replaced water pump, oil pump, timing belt, all accessory belts while engine was torn down hoping to save some labor later on down the road. Cost to repair 1,792. 2 yrs. later started to lose oil.The bracket that holds water pump in place broke and moved forward into oil pump and timing mechanism. Had to replace water pump, oil pump, head gasket, timing belt, accessory belts etc AGAIN. $2,200 for repairs. 13 months later overheating AGAIN. Needs cooling fan. Cost $720. Sunroof motor $750. Rim corrosion. Cheapest found 350.00. REPAIR HOG!

Bought this one owner Limited Cruiser with 45,000 mi. on it and every option available incl. sunroof. It has 16" alloy wheels with Goodyear Eagle GT 205R55/16 tires on it and I am afraid to hit any potholes as it makes a loud clunking sound. The dealer told me that is normal for this type with sport suspension on it. No good for those who like a nice smooth ride.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I absolutely LOVED my PT Cruiser until I had a little accident. Apparently, they are very hard to work on due to the arrangement of everything inside. I hit a fire hydrant on the front right side and my insurance company wants to total the car even though it is fixable. The problem is the cost of the labor since it's so hard to work on. Other than that, I love the car! It's great for hauling large items since it's got removable back seats and it's always been really reliable. It was even pretty good on the ice in the winter time out here in Colorado! I would rather have my PT Cruiser fixed than have to try and find a car as good as this one!

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.

At first I loved this car, I 've had it for 2 years and I stay on top of it's maintenance. My biggest complaint is a common one; fuel economy (20-) and performance. Another major factor is its complete inability to drive in the snow (Connecticut). The power to weight ratio just doesn't work. It strains at highway speeds, especially uphill. It's a good looking vehicle with lots of functional space but I wouldn't buy it again without some design changes.

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!

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.

I bought the PT Cruiser cause it was comfortable and the looks of the car was awesome. After taking the car on several trips and racking up 32300 miles in the first year of ownership I'm ready to buy my 2nd one.

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!
MY VERY OWN PT CRUISER

I have had a ton of fun driving my jet black PT.CRUISER. It looks awsome when its cleaned up. Everywhere I go everyone is staring trying to see in, to see whos driving it. Now everyone knows it's mine, I live in a small town so of course evertime they see me they have to ask about it. I was the first to get one here, now there are 4 more in my town, but not like mine. Every time me and my husband decide to go somewhere we always chose my PT. to drive. I will not go anywhere unless I'm in it. To sum it all up its the funnest and greatest vehicle I have ever owned.
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!
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.
Solid Car

My wife had to have this vehicle and I was skeptical at first. Fortunately she was right. We love it.

I adored this concept. Enjoyed driving it and was able to pack it with so much! I never took out the seats, but carried hot water heaters out of Home Depot with no problem. Only put 2 seats down.Clearly one of the most dependable autos I've owned. Seats are comfortable and keep you erect for long trips. Noise is average for me. I never expected a Cadillac/Mercedes. I bought this for trasporting small loads around and for basic transportation. A/C was OK. Never a problem, but in summer in FL, I sometimes felt warm in the start up process. Brakes rear seem to get a grind once you begin your day, but that goes away-rear brakes after you depress brakes once or twice.
Fun and versatile, with minor flaws

Rock-solid reliable: I owned the car for three years, and had no problems at all with it. It took a while to get used to the limited rear visibility, but that was no problem after a week or so. It's underpowered - even with a 5 speed manual. Handling is *terrible* in adverse conditions - especially snow. Strange masking tape marks appeared on the corners of the rear bumper. All that being said, I'd buy this car again in a second if I needed something that was both stylish and had the room to pack stuff in.
