2004 PT Cruiser

I bought my PT Crusier in October of this year as a second car. So far I have 3500 miles on it and have been very satisfied with the comfort and the ride. The gas milage is around 21 miles to the gallon in-town, which is the same as my Chevy Venture. I recently drove it on a 750 mile trip and got about 24 MPG. The PT is a fun car to drive, but no speed demon since I have the non-turbo engine. The problem I have had is that the engine died once at a stop light. It started right back up and I haven't had a problem since. The dealer checked it out and couldn't fine anything wrong either.

Things to know about the base model PT

I don't know what all the fuss is about the non-turbo being sluggish. Our 5-speed manual will lay rubber off the line. Back seat looked like less leg room than our Neon, but once inside, due to the upright position in which one sits, there is actually plenty of legroom. The upright position also allows for great visability out the front of the car. While waiting for our appointment to have the optional clear coating applied, small scratches have shown up indicating a very thin, non-durable coating of paint. I'm writing this for my wife who has never been in love with a car until this one came along.

This car has been fantastic the only complaint I have is the gas mileage should be better for a 4 cylinder only getting about 16 miles per gallon around town. But car is as solid as a rock I have a 2003 and have had it exactly 1 year and it has been PERFECT.

My wife and I have done some fantastic trips in out PT. Crater Lake to the 5 freeway at 7am, I did 40 above the posted speed, 25 above curve speed. My wife never woke up!! We did our "loop" from home thru Big Bear, with her driving. She got so tired of hanging behind other cars that wouldn't use the turnouts that she got it to 105mph to pass! I wish I coulda seen the other driver's faces! One time, we were coming home down 395, the car passes 3- 5 cars (and big rigs) at a time like they were standing still. My wife and I are big people, and this little car fits us well. It has lots of room, a plus for travel, especially with a lot of luggage.
