Little Red School Bus

We purchased a 2004 PT Cruiser new at the end of 2003. The car was a great vehicle and became fondly known as the "little red scool bus" as it took two generations of grandchilden then great grandchildren to school. Upon its demise as it was totalled just before Thanksgiving, 2021; lady ran the red an got me. At the time of the accident the car still looked good, ran good and indeed we will miss this car, it serviced us well for 18 years and would still be getting us where we needed to go except of course for a careless driver. I highly recommend this vehicle, it runs good, looks great and is a breeze to park - besides all that it is just plain fun!

We also don't know the annual gas milage because we just bought the car today! I'm very happy with how much room it has in it! The car is roomy and the seats aren't so close to the floor like in a car. It drives nicely and I'm excited that it's a Turbo! The Electric Blue is a great color!

PT Cruiser Rules

The PT is the very best vehicle for fun driving, good looks and sport utility like workability. This vehicle is AWESOME. We have had 40 other vehicles from full size vans, mini vans, sport utes, sports cars, luxury cars, u name it. This one is definitely the best for the price. Get a stick shift. If you can't drive a stick, learn to!

This one of the most fun cars I have ever owned. It's agile, very quick, while at the same time averaging 25-26 miles per gallon. It's amazingly smooth and quiet at highway speeds. Running 70- 80 mph, you'd think you were going 50. It truly is a cruiser. I would definitely recommend the Turbo motor, as it's performance is outstanding.

Less then a year major problems

Only having the vehicle for less then a year and only 15k + miles this vehicle has had major transmission and drive axle problems. Unbelievable that we have experienced such problems early in this vehicle?s life. Within the last two months it has been in the shop 50 of those 60 days in attempt to be repaired. Although we were once in love with the vehicle?s concept, we have lost all confidence in the safety of this car.

Skeptical At-First

2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser Limited Edition Platinum Series 4dr Wagon (2.4L 4cyl Turbo 4A)
0 of 1 people found this review helpful

I didn't like the PT Cruiser when it first appeared. The Platinum Series changed my mind. The dull black bumper that's standard on most other models is replaced with matching gloss paint. Nice chrome accents, especially the grill. I added the MOPAR Chrome Kit and it looks fantastic. Leather/suede seating surfaces are a nice touch. But the biggest convincer was the Turbo: The 220 HP 4-cylider moves my relatively lightweight PT along very, very nice.

I just bought my PT and it was the best purchase that I have ever made. The only thing wrong to the poor gas mileage for a small car. I recommend the PT to anyone who wants to buy one.
