Very reliable,firm sporty ride. Grips the road well, but under powered. Still can't get used to window controls in center panel instead of doors. But great ride and no problems electrical or mechanical since delivery.

i bought my pt used and low mileage it went back once to dealership for some squeaking noise turned out it wasn't sitting right on the frame. i have had no problems other then regular mait. one month ago some noised started and it was the bushings bearings so 1300$ dollars spent on repairing. a week later rad motor blew causing the rad to blow then transmission, 3 days after this fuel pump went. it is now in the shop for timeing belt, water pump and other repairs. total of all repairs 7500$ i really wish i had of traded. now i will have this car forever good thing i do like the look and the drive of it. i'm just glad they took it off the line no more pts. yahoo

Bad design

I love the sporty feel especially with my 5 spd manual, and the classic look.[BUT], this car could have been better made: 1) No electric mirrors - electric mirrors serve safety; 2) why are the engine belts covered?-belts should be exposed for easy inspection, or should I wait till the belts break on the freeway; 3) Lug nuts should be exposed and not covered. I bought my car, and I did not know that one of the lug nuts was missing because it was covered by the large hub caps; 4) The paint job on these cars is mediocre-most cruisers I have seen have faded paint; 5) I do not like that you have to turn the ignition key all the way back, to turn on the radio.

This is a fine fine car . Chrysler really did their homework. Every detail well thought out. Even door handles have a thumb fitting for comfort. A real head turner on the road. Power is a little light but this wasn't meant to be a real terror on the road. Just a real beauty to the eyes.
