This PT Cruiser, the seconnd one that I've owned, says "Made for Tony Bennett" right on the original window sheet (which I have). It also has every option Chrysler offered that year except for a roof rack. In addition it has "ghost" flames and a real-looking Voyager wood grain kit that was only available in California, where it was purchased new. The company has since gone out of business. A long-time (since High School) friend bought the car in 2004 and I bought it earlier this year. Everything still works and it goes down the road well.. A few years back I had a Chevy HHR panel van and found both the HHR and the Cruiser were designed by the same guy. Still running strong!

This is a great car, fun to drive, tough and classy at the same time. My PT Cruiser was a Touring with only basic equipment: automatic transmission, ac, power steering, am fm radio and cassette player, sunroof. Now for the one big drawback: It's difficult to service. Two different very good mechanics told me the insides were built in such a way that it took a lot of labor (a long time) to do repairs. So be aware that the labor costs might be a little high. Some PT Cruiser owners have also had engine/transmission problems and suspension problems. Yet everyone who owns one of these cars loves it!

Chrysler provided a way to watch the development of the PT Cruiser all the way through the design stage. I followed the process and always wanted to own one. Finally in 2005 I got my chance. I have not been disappointed in the least. The interior flexibility is amazing. The comfort is excellent. I get question after question about my PT Cruiser at gas stations and stop lights. Driving my PT Cruiser is an all around fun experience.

Loving my Dream Cruiser

I driven my cruiser from Rhode Island to North Carolina and then to Florida within a week and I had no problems, either mechanically or comfort wise. Drove for a few hours between fill-ups, between 300 and 400 miles depending on the A/C usage. Couldn't ask for a better looking or driving car for me.

I'm very pleased with this vehicle and I'm glad I purchased it. I've had no problems with it what so ever. It's fun to drive..and I often forget that I'm driving a station wagon.
