Used 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser Wagon Consumer Reviews
Excellent--Exceptional for the Price
I waited, watching others looking like they were having fun driving the PT Cruiser, until the turbo edition came out. The major complaint was the lack of power, and this was largely fixed with the new engine. The interior is well-appointed, but the stock stereo isn't very powerful. (But the 6-disc changer is nice, as well as the multiple speakers.) It looks cool, it's pretty fast, and it's fun to drive both in the city and down the highway. Highly recommended!
FINE WITHOUT TURBO
We've had our LTD for almost 4 months, 2270 mi, and do not regret taking a pass on the GT model. The LTD rides a little nicer than the GT, and I have no problem getting up to 80mph on the Tollway when it's my turn to drive for our 4 person call pool. No rattles or problems so far. MPG is lower than I expected, hovering around 20mpg. Acceleration is no problem in town, and it's just a matter of kicking it in if you have to have a surge of power. Passengers rave about the comfort, and ease of access. Cargo space is great. The LTD is a great value. Save purchase costs and the costs of premium fuel and lower gas milage by taking a pass on the GT.
Awesome Cruiser!
I have a 4 door 5 speed manual transmission. I have longed for one since I saw the very first one. This car has lots of power and if I do feel I need a boost, I can downshift and punch it and she really takes off. Funny thing, the factory sound system was pretty impressive also. I love the looks of the car, I like how you sit in it, up where you can see. All the controls are easily accessible. My cousin bought one the first year they came out. I don't even think he actually saw one before he ordered his. He hauls a trailer with it and he loves his as much as I do mine. His is also the 4 door 5 speed model.
JD'S PT CRUISE
I LOVE MY CRUISER I GET GREAT GAS MILEGE NOT OVERLLY POWERFUL BUT THEN I'M NOT USED TO 4-CYL. PEOPLE GIVE ALOT OF PRAISE ABOUT MINE EVERYWHERE I GO.
A real hummer
The "roadability" matches anything I have driven. My wifes car is the 300M and my previous car was a Camero. The PT is more responsive than either and get up and go matches both. No blind spots and handling characteristics let you feel the road.
