K, so i bought this inferno red 2004 pt cruiser gt with a premium sound system a year ago for my gf when someone totaled her focus, then we broke up and i kept the car because i was making the payments. Well ive but a crap load of asome bumper stickers on it, these awsome momo TEN-S black wheels on it, had the windows tinted, and every friday night me and my frreinds pile up into it and we go out cruisin and clubbing, i <3 this thing, we crank up the radio and roll all the windows down, its so much fun, i call it a chrysler party cruiser, i even actually have vynl stickers tht say party cruiser, and the way i take turns and sometimes DRIFT youd think the body was gonna fly off the chasis.

This was the best car I've ever owned. 61,000 miles on the odometer and not a single problem with it, not even a light bulb. The high output turbo matched to the 5 speed Getrag transmission would put an ear to ear smile across my face every time my right foot headed for the floor. Towing my two waverunners or my fishing boat was a breeze and the temperature gauge never budged from midpoint. When it was tire change time, I upgraded to a 215/50R17 size Conti Contact and the vehicle just got even better. The start of my review stated "was" the best. After getting tangled up with a Porsche on the highway, I slid sideways off the pavement at 65 plus mph and ended up rolling the car.

My problem is that I have had multiple front end and suspension problems. In four years I have had multiple wheel bearing, three sets of lower control arms and numerous trips to the dealship complaining about the rattle in the front of my car. Now I have more suspension problems, a broken motor mount and a blow head gasket. It is a shame because I really love my car just hate the poor design.

I've had no problems with the PT Cruiser at all. Much more power than I expected. All the controls are very handy. Had the car for almost 8 months and found a drawer under the passenger seat recently that had remained hidden. Always surprised by it's performance and Let's face it.The look really cool!

I've had to make 2 repairs The lower control arm bushing at around 52,000 cost $530 and the cooling fan at 67000 $900. I don't think these items should have worn out at the low mileage.
