I really enjoy driving my PT. Last week I had to drive it in snow (about 1 inch was on the road) and it handled great. The car is a lot of fun to drive. It is not a easy to see out of as my jeep but I am getting use to the blind spots.

love my car but when car idles and air isn't on it sounds like its going to cut out. Also after 16,000 miles had to do brake job. But I really like the look.

Gave Me Nightmares

I bought this car with 13K miles on it, back when Consumer Reports actually recommended the Cruiser. The first two years were OK, but then disaster struck. The whole shock system went down, struts, bushings, brakes, and everything else had to be replaced at around 50K. The next summer, my transmission went KAPUT. Luckily, the car was still under warranty. Now, I've discovered that all the struts, bushings, axles, and rotors need to be replaced again. This car has caused me to have nightmares about driving it down hills, and then going totally out of control and careening around corners.

PT Cruiser a Multi-Mission car!

My Electric Blue PT is just a terrific car value. At just under $15,000 this "BASE" auto has Air Conditioning, Power Windows..Power Brakes, A CD player with 6 speakers, a spoiler, deep tinted windows and alloy wheels. I really wanted a 5 speed manual for the fuel economy and the dealer was happy to sell it because most people today want the automatic transmission. (I think this car had been sitting for quite a while just because it was a "standard" transmission) Even with the 5 speed..fuel economy is not too good. Some owners I hear average less than 20mpg with the automatic. The fit & finish on these Mexican made cars are just outstanding! The interior is full of top grade materials too!

Sporty, fun, and nicely priced

I've received dozens of compliments on the sleek looks of the Platinum Edition's combination of Graphite Metallic color and chrome trim. The turbo engine is very peppy and the car handles quite nicely. The leather/suede interior is stylish and comfortable. The kids are always anxious to ride in "Dad's cool car".
