25000 miles and still the best

I'm on my third year with this car, and it's the best I've ever owned. It's not only fun to drive, it's a great hauler for my dogs, their crates, etc. It's amazing to have a smaller car - which I like - with big- car room. (I know it's classified as a truck, but it sure doesn't ride truck- like!) Now, I'd keep this car forever if they hadn't come out with that incredible- looking convertible. Will I get one? We'll see.

I just bought this 02 Ltd.Ed. a month ago. I had a Ford Windstar which was monstrous and not a gas saver. Also kids are grown so no longer needed the size. My only complaint about this PT is gas mileage and power. I'm getting about 20-22 mpg comb. Which isn't great for a 4 cyl. but I was getting 13-15 mpg on van. I put $55 filled it and got almost 2wks. Also running AC. So it's better. The van to fill was nearly $100. Wish engine was a bit more powerful for getting out of sticky situations, but it's not bad. But I love the style. Mine is pearl blue, mint and chromed out. it's a head turner. It's built great, nice and tight and this one came w/every option so it's blast to drive. I'm having fun with it

This car uses Sooo much gas it's not funny. The cars temp gauge is always above the middle, you don't know if it is hot or not. The handling is kind of rough on the freeway. The brakes are starting to squeal at only 12,000 miles. You can't acelerate on the freeway.
Great Car

I don't understand why people are complaining about the power. Unless you plan on towing stuff or drag racing, this car has plenty of get up and go. It's build quality is also excellent. This car is really a steal for the price!! No other car we looked at could compete with the level of options and interior space in this price range, the throw the great styling in to boot. I just can not say enough good about the PT Cruiser.
A Great Alternative to Any TRUCK

Had only minor initial problems. Fixed at no cost and quickly during first year. Clutch fluid leak, was still able to carefully drive to shop. Engine control module fault which actually caused no problem driving just kept idiot light on until module was replaced. Otherwise very good handling and power with typical mileage around town at or better than 25 mpg and highway miles 29-32 depending on speed. Normally as i use this vehicle for work loaded down. I changed my original tires at 63000 miles no bare spots just needed a little better tread depth in snow otherwise could have easily gotten another 5000 on tread left if winter was gone.

I ordered my PT, the first day they could be ordered, and had the 3rd one in town. It has never missed a beat. NO PROBLEMS!! NONE. As most PT owners will tell you it is a little underpowered. I have that cured with my next PT, Which is the 2003 Turbo Dream Cruiser II, which I have on order...Chrysler did their homework before making the Pt, and did it right.

At 14.5 MPG, a tank gets as good gas milage. And I think I should take stock in Exxon. Some things take getting used to: window switches, short shifting action, easy clutch.
A+

Handles well, with a slightly stiff suspension. Powered well, but not a muscle car. Stylish and well built. Dependable. Short on trunk space if 4 adults pack for trip, but otherwise very practical with flip down seats, etc.. No warranty issues here, but the plastic pull-out drawer under passenger seat could be made better.
I own a Brand New PT TURBO - Its HOT !!!

I've held my wife back from buying a PT since they came out due to a lack of highway perfomance in the orginal offerings. But this TURBO kicks butt ... And the tweaked suspension that the turbpo comes with sticks to the road ... Blew the doors off a hot V-8, 4x4 the other day out of a light !!! **BG** I'm also 6foot6 & was very concerned about my long drive comfort .. Well, the car fits like a glove & is configured in such a way that its really easy to get in & out of ... We're very happy ...
That's a Winner

Chrysler has hit a homerun with this vehicle. It's a pleasure to drive and receives compliments galore. This baby is as solid and well built as they come. Even washing it is a joy. Thank you Chrysler for being creative and progressive. Your gamble paid off.
