Wife's first new car

2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser 4dr Wagon (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

The PT replaced my wife's 72 VW. It is the base model with Auto trans air cond and power windows. It is extremely roomy front and back. I'm 6'3" and have more than adequate leg room in the back seat. My wife is a school teacher and has to haul a lot of supplies which fit easily in back with the seats folded or removed. Only drawbacks are so so fuel mileage (19 city 24 highway) and it takes two hands to open the tail gate.

Except for the not-so-fab gas mileage, I love this car. Love the looks, the aftermarket items... it's all tricked out. Got rid of muffler, glasspak improved energy 110%. Have low mileage, it works well.

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.

Fun Car with Real People Appeal

We have a fully optioned GT with inferno red exterior, tan interior and tan top. We decided on PT because wife liked comfort of high seating positon. This car attracts more attention than any car I have owned. We didn't buy it for that reason, but has turned out that way. Kids to the elderly are fascinated by it. I am amazed how people will go out of their way to talk to us about the car. Nearly all conversations end with them saying: "I bet you have fun in that car" We do! We live in central Florida and the top is nearly always down. The car has given us no problems, initial quality was good. We have had a good dealership experience. Of course, it is a small town dealer we know.

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"!
