Fun car to drive. Irritating to have all the minor annoyances. Car came with fan belt squeal that took 4 trips to dealer before they figured out how to shim it. Now have a irritating noise in dash; clock does not keep good time; valve cover needs new seal. Car has 5,000 miles. Really enjoy driving it and using it as a mini SUV. Travels interstates at 75+ comfortably.

I am a traveling saleman. This car is the perfect size to get me through traffic and is very comfortable for a long haul. The turbo make it easy to merge onto the highway and the gas mileage is good. If you need a traveling office, this is the perfect car. It's a car or truck when you need it.

Got the Special edition Turbo. Love this car. Comfort is extreme. More fun than is legal. Inferno red color is wild. Chrome package is beautiful. People, especially women, stop me in the parking lot all the time and ask me about my car, how much I like it, and confess they have always wanted one.

I fell in love with the style of the PT Cruiser in 2000. When I decided to purchase another vehicle this year I just had to have a PT Cruiser. They are so much fun to drive and pretty economical with regard to gas mileage. I wouldn't want to drive anything else. My only regret is I am debating whether I should have gotten the TURBO model. I need a little bit more power.
Love my PT

I love this car. I fell for the design, and must say I get more compliments from people that ride in it. It is easy to park,like a small car but has plenty of headroom inside, and feels like a big car. All the buttons on the dash(windows,etc) was hard getting used to, but is a great feature and adds to safety during driving. I would and will get another PT.
As good as ever

Switched from my very reliable and fun 2002 base PT Cruiser to a 2004 turbo. Car is almost identical which means great looking, extremely practical. The Cruiser must be one of the greatest examples of a cool looking car that is also fun, fairly economical, comfortable, handy in traffic and to park because it is so short, and up to whatever task I throw at it. After mediocre experiences with earlier Chryslers, my 2002 was extremely well built (never had a single problem) and the new 2004 GT seems at the same level.
a great car

A beautiful car, my favorite. Look, comfort, etc.. But after 1 month I already had to bring my baby to the dealer... 2 weeks later a second time because the problem (with a front window) wasn't fixed and also because an electronic part died in the engine... a very important piece that needed to be specialy shipped!!! And back to the store a month later for electronic problem and the window. Total visit to the "doctor", in 5 months: 4!!! And the front window still needs work, but I gave up!!
Lot of fun, no hassles

Always a head turner, the adaptability of the vehicle lets it perform many functions. Comfortable for trips, and taking my daughter to college was possible in one trip with the storage room.

Having driven a '74 VW Bug for 29 years, it's clear not many new auto designs were that tempting to me. In other words, it would take a truly outstanding design to induce me to make a change. That's why I love the PT... it's as if my trusty VW had won the lottery and retired in luxury... but with its same, lovable personality intact. The PT Cruiser is surely, as auto reviewers have noted, the new "American Beetle".

My biggest complaint about PT automatic is that gas mileage is a disappointment. Driving conservatively the minimum average posted city driving rating barely met(20) more often then not it has been less. Highway driving have yet to achive average posted rating of (25)best to date has been (23)

I've had my little PT from Florida to Maine and up to the mountains of Tennessee a few times... It also came in very handy when 'gutting' my 1928 house, hauling building supplies!! I'm going to buy a convertible in a year or two...love it! :)

The PT Cruiser drives like a dream. It feels like you are driving and riding in a much more expensive car. There is some road vibration on rough roads but that is the only time the drive and ride are not completely smooth. It drives even smoother than the Sable that I traded in for the PT. As a matter of fact my husband was so jealous of my new PT Cruiser that he went 5 days later and bought him one. Dorothy - Orlando

Great pickup with the turbo engine - I've left a few Beemer drivers with their mouths hanging open on uphill freeway merges! Excellent use of interior space - I fit a 80 inch long bookcase in my Cruiser, no problem! Great legroom - even for larger, taller folks. I give it an "A" for excellent workmanship and I work in the Quality Assurance profession. Oh, and I've met nice people since folks keep asking me questions about my car.

this car had 44,000 original miles on it. we bought it an love it. good design inside and OUT. has much more interior room then you would expect. not bad acceleration for a 4cyl. (not turbocharged) drives good thru snow. could use a bit better gas mileage, but that is a Chrysler problem in MOST models. I had a 93 Chevy Caprice, with a V8, fully loaded. with 4 adults and a trunk full of luggage, we AVERAGED 30+ miles per. why can't Detroit give us THAT MUCH in a small car????

I had admired the PT for quite a while, but I was reluctant to get into a high car payment and I always drove Japanese cars in the past, so I was reluctant to change. I decided to go and test drive a PT thinking that I would either love it or hate it, but at least I would know if I really wanted one enough to take on another car payment. Once I sat down in the drivers seat I was sold. We purchased that very PT the same day! I realize that I was maybe a little bit too spontaneous, but after 9 months of driving the PT, I know that it was a good decision. I have no regrets and now I am trying to convince my Mom to buy one!

I love my PT Cruiser - first time I saw a car I just had to have. It is fun to drive and very comfortable. I was concerned about pick up...but it is fine for me. I do mostly city driving...but when I need to merge onto turnpikes, etc., it picks up speed much quicker than my last car (also a 4 cyl). You sit higher than the regular car but not quite as high as a van...and the PT cruiser is much easier to get in and out of. I am short and not physically agile so the vans, etc. are a hassle for me. The PT cruiser is just right for me!

This car is my "baby"! Fun to drive, it will haul almost anything. I love the "retro" look, it reminds me of the 50s and 60s, but is so modern with all of its features. You can't go wrong, go out and buy one!!

We purchased the Cruiser to accommodate our 2 year old and replace my 10 yr old chrysler lebaron convertible. The Cruiser not only offered a huge list of standard features, but it is infinitely flexible and I have yet to have it fail to perform in any task. We've hauled 8 ft ladders in it, furniture, kids stuff, everything. Seats in , seats tilted up, seats out. Tailgated in it, you name it. I even used the rear deck shelf for changing my daughter's diapers. And it is reminiscent of the 40's ford coupes. My husband and I love antique autos, and this is like my "old and new car rolled into one." I cannot say enough GREAT things about it.

So far I have found it to be a very practical,peppy vehicle. I have owned 2 Plymouth mini vans prior to this Cruiser The Turbo kicks in at a lower RPM than I expected. It is full of torque, and drives well with the Gertag five speed transmission.Assembly quality is excellent. Cargo opttions are unlimited.
Surprisingly satisfying vehicle

I've had many company and personal vehicles. Chrysler products are usually well engineered but lacking in esthetics and somewhat cheap in the interiors. This car is very comfortable,well made,well fitted,nicely finished, spirited, and a lot of fun to drive all the time. I am quite impressed and recommend it highly.

Gas milage and acceleration could be better. I just can't wait to drive my PT Cruiser since it is so fun to drive. The interior is deceivingly roomy and comfortable. When I shopped for a car, I had no intention to purchase a PT Cruiser. I am extremely glad I checked it out.

I USUALLY ONLY DRIVE IT ON WEEKENDS (ABOUT 125 MILES EACH) BUT IT'S A LOT OF FUN AND I GET COMPLIMENTS ALL THE TIME.INTERIOR ROOM IS LESS THAN MY '91 ASTRO EXT BUT STILL BIG ENOUGH FOR A FEW FRIENDS TO GO CRUISE THE SHORE IN. I DIDN'T CARE MUCH FOR THE WHIMPY STEREO, BUT I TOOK CARE OF THAT TWO WEEKS AFTER I GOT THE CAR.

The gas mileage is no where near what the window sticker says. And this was what I was looking for. As I drive to San Diego on weekends, I needed good mpg. I didn't get it. Fun car to drive. Might have been happieer with the Turbo model, but not for what they were asking for it. The salesman said the turbo model got less MPG, later the service tech, said the Turbo got better.
I'm in Love!

Car in shop at least 6 times within 5 months. Vibration in steering wheel, pulling to left while driving, pulling to right when braking. Rotors needed replaced at only 6000 mi. car still having same issues,brakes wearing uneven. Research forums before purchasing, seems Chrysler cars/suv/minivans all having similar problems with brakes.

This little car is just plain fun to drive. With 220 hp it will chew up and spit out most mid and full size cars and trucks. We had a 2002 and liked it alot except for the lack of power, so when the turbo arrived we had to have one.

Classy, comfortable, great pick up and handling both in the city and highway, great passing ability. Cargo space? I had a 4'X 5" solid maple dinner table in the back of mine. Everyone who wants the versatility of a mom-tank and the ride of a big car with damn good lines should get one. RR seat warmers for the leather would be a HUGE + like in my Pacifica. I want the next DREAM CRUISER

My 2004 PT Cruiser is wonderful. It rides real smooth, and is very comfortable. To me, it is a combination between an old 1920's vehicle and a new sports car. That is what makes it beautiful. If I can I do plan to own another one when mine is no longer of use.

Smooth ride but the worst Gas milage. I owned an 84 Chevey Citation for 7 years before I bought my 2004 Pt. Cruiser. The Citation had better Gas Milage by 40-50 miles.
