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

I've had my PT Touring Edition for 5.5 years. For the most part it has been a very reliable, consistent performer. I'm a big 6'3" guy and I test drove a lot of small SUV-type vehicles. The Cruiser was one of the few that gave me plenty of leg room without banging mt right knee into a center dashboard console. I kept to the maintenance schedule and after 71,000 miles, other than front brakes, tires and a leaking valve cover gasket I haven't had to put any money into it. Now for the bad news - it has a very wide turning circle which is very annoying trying to park in tight spots. The mpg is not that great for 2.4 4 liter engine and the engine is dog while running the AC.

I bought the PT Cruiser because I was looking for a car with van capabilities but not a van appearance or van handling. I commute 150 miles round trip daily and the PT Cruiser is still a fun drive and easy handling vehicle. The stick shift gives more than enough get up and go and it can carry a huge load with the two back seats removed.

2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser GT 4dr Wagon (2.4L 4cyl Turbo 5M)
5 of 6 people found this review helpful
This is an update after about 1 month of owning my PT GT. The new has now worn off, and its true colors are coming out. I don't know if there is a little something not right about it, or if its normal for a turbo, but it seems to lack power. Taking off from a stoplight, the rpms easily push near 3000, but the acceleration is still just 'normal'. Some days seems better than others, though. Bottom line: when you floor it, it goes pretty strongly, but under normal driving, its nothing to phone home about.

This car has almost been trouble free except for the gas gauge problem. Three times to the dealer to fix <19 days total>. Other than that its been trouble free. I have 34,000 miles on it. Very bad gas mileage only 19-20 in the city and not much better on the highway. overall the most for your money than any car out there.

since I purchased this car, all I've had is problems. -1st the door took air and was very noisy, had it 'looked at' 5 times to be told, that I'd have to like with it. -The the door take in water when in a carwash or when in heavy rain - Had had constant noise with the motor and of course when you take it in does not do it for them, grrr - Brakes needed to be changed 4 times - the 'bouching' it's a suspensing thing twice - I had to buy the extendeed warrenty at a cost of 1200$, was less expensive to take that then the repair cost I had to place on it at a lil over 60k - then the a/c stopped working and had to get all 4 tubings replaced and had to par a 100$ detection, yada yada yada
