I had a 2001 Hyundai Elantra before this car and never had as many issues as I've had with the PT Cruiser. Granted I purchased it used, but within two days of purchasing it the mechanical issues began. I've had to replace the torque converter, battery, PVC hose, a torn CV joint and front left axle. It makes a grinding noise between 45-60mph, vibrates during idle and starting first thing in the morning, and this morning it almost stalled on me while driving 75mph. It's also very uncomfortable. I feel like I am sitting on a bag of rocks. This is the only car I've driven where you have to push up for the wipers, not down and the window controls are in the center of the vehicle.A true lemon
This is why Chrysler needs bailed out!

Had everything go wrong! Spark plugs, front control arms (which is every single pt out there!), motor mount cracked, timing belt, rear windshield motor, battery at 90,000, transmission fluid was dirty, inside electrical display! Need I go on? Not really considering I gave it back to Chrysler! They stink never again!

With more than 150,000 miles, and two grandkids, my wifes 95 Lincoln Town Car was showing its age in the form of repair bills. Its replacement would have to offer good mileage (something the Town Car didnt), versatility with regard to storage (the Town Car has one heck of a trunk), comfort (a Town Car signature trait), and style. It had to fit in with a stable of Retro Vehicles, which includes a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500, a 2003 Jaguar XJ8, and the venerable 95 Town Car. The black, 2004, turbo, Touring Edition, with the chrome package fit the bill perfectly. My wifes only question is: Should I drive the black Jag, or the black PT?
Cool looking good value

Chrysler transmissions are fine they require proper service that means use the mopar fluid and change it when recommended. If you are not a mechanic don't mess with it. My pt has 70,000 mi. With no serious problems. The downstream o2sensor went out simple fix. A/c needs one can of Freon a year no big deal. Mileage isn't great but it's adequate I get 17 city and 24 hwy remember it's a wagon and it's heavy.
