LOVE this car. I bought it to replace my falling apart 1998 Honda Accord. Sure I've had some mechanical issues with it, but nothing that's left me stranded. Car came with the extended Chrysler Gold Plan that covered the front control arms (common problem, the bushings like to fail), the oil pressure switch (common failure in a LOT of Mopars) and the front wheel bearings. I work for a dealer so I know the issues these have (multifunction switch, wiper nozzles like to die, but the biggest problem was the control arms. The A/C suction line died too but that was also covered under warranty. Gas mileage sucks, but hey, it's a 220HP turbo monster convertible!

I bought this car for my wife. It has been very useful and enjoyable mainly because it has a large cargo area but doesn't look like a bloody minivan! It is very stylish inside and out and is comfortable and roomy for us both (we are both tall). It has been perfectly reliable so far. I can't believe we payed only $13,880 for this new car when it listed for $17,220. It's fun to drive and really looks good in Inferno red.

Every time I drive my turbo PT Crusier ragtop I turn heads. From the ease of getting into the car to the decievingly large amount of room inside, comfort seems to be the key. It has a great sound system and is a very smooth drive. The only drawback I can see is limited visability when backing up while the top is up.

Great car. I don't know where to begin. I love everything about the car. It's great for familys, people who travel, New Drivers, pretty much anybody. Performance of a car, but SUV and Mini van features. The back seat folds down and comes out. Comfortable for five people. Great for people who need a low cost or expensive car.

Very roomy and adaptable with fold down seats; can fit quite a bit in the back! lots of interior extras; love the moon roof! It's so comfortable, smooth ride, turbo engine gives it lots of power,spirit and whoooosh! The most fun car I've ever driven! I'd thought of getting a VW but once test driving the PT w/Turbo I was sold! It's so cute too! Mine is Inferno red..My "Wild Cherry Mobile"!
