Red Hot PT

I have always wanted a PT since they came out, and finally got one. I have the Inferno Red Base PT, and I love the looks. The only issue is the gas mileage. I have a 96 Voyager with the same 2.4 4 cylinder and 3 speed auto, and it gets better mileage in town than the PT. I only have 6k on the PT, so maybe it will improve. My wife wasn't crazy about the PT at first, but she drives it all the time now. I think when we finally get rid of the van, we will go with a ragtop PT. Seating is up high, with a good view of the road. The seats are a bit hard, and get somewhat unconfrontable on long trips, as there is no lumbar adjustments. Otherwise, this is one Red Hot PT that rocks!

Cruisin with a Cruiser

The first real driving was to Massachusetts, 2600 mi, it was a great trip up and back. Very comfortable as a driver and passenger. Ease of handling, and viewing out all windows and mirrors. It's a great retro vehicle, I have since added more chrome and flash. All in all it is a great car to own and drive.

We bought the base model. It is fun to drive but wish it had a bit more power. If i were to buy another, i'd buy another pt:) the downer was the gas mileage...power vs mileage should be better

Great little car

My husband and I just purchases the car a little over a month ago. We are both very tall and there is ample head and leg room for both. The cruiser is very fun to drive. The car has a lot of style outside. It has a personality, and is more that just basic transportation. We get an average of 20 mpg in the city. Acceleration is fairly good for a 4 cl. So far we are glad we bought the car especially since we paid less that $15,000.00

05 Base model A/T

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.
