High cost/&high repair cost

The overall value of the car is far less than the value of the car. Ratio of 1/5. Because of the many problems, an hard to service per mechanics, an cluster panel failure, this car should be restricted to hobby driving to grocery store, but not suitable for city an high traffic driving. You will end up paying for it twice based on repairs.

Plum Fun in the Sun!

I was looking for a convertible that was both fun and somewhat practical. The Cruiser GT convertible is like driving a convertible SUV with a rocket engine! I love it! I was impressed by the build quality, and the performance. The car is very quiet and has a very well insulated soft top. With the quirky styling and the Plum color, it gets lots of smiling looks, and compliments in parking lots. It is just a fun car to drive! Beyond the fun factor, the car hugs the road and with ABS and traction control is secure in wet and snowy conditions. You would be hard pressed to find a fun, powerful, distinctive looking convertible that is this well equipped for a better price.

Fun to drive. We get alot of looks. We own the GT TURBO with 220 HP. I'm afraid my wife will get a speeding ticket. Very quick, handles great. More room than it appears to have.

Satisfied GT Convertible purchasers

Purchased black PT convertible GT. Power, style, handling, all as advertised. *Very* impressive 220 hp turbo engine; after driving the non-turbo and 180 hp turbo touring edition, the 220hp is substantively different and we would suggest only the 180 or 220 if any power is required at all or if the car will be driven at high altitudes. Of course style is an individual preference, but folks definitely checked out the car on our trip between LA and San Diego.:) Handling during rainstorm was impressive; lots of standing water but traction control kept the car stable [unfortunately other cars weren't so lucky -- several spin outs and accidents on the interstates]. Top goes up and comes down easy.

Piece of Junk

Avoid the temptation of buying this car with the thoughts of cruising with the top down. Severe suspension problem. Major repairs/replacements required, including control arms and hub bearing before the car even had 40,000 miles. Now the motor mounts have failed at 41500. Looking through other reviews, I see the same issues reported. Wish I'd found this site and read the reviews prior to my purchase.
