Third Cruiser

This is our third PT Cruiser. We had a '01,'03 GT, and now our '05. The GT was probably the best car of the three a lot of fun to drive and it was a 5 speed, the other 2 are automatics. Until now we have had good luck with the cruiser's. We should have researched this year a little more before we bought it. At 45,000 mile control arm bushing are bad, had to have them replaced, at 48,000 miles fan motor had to be fixed drawing to many amps when air conditioner is on. We do like the Chrysler car styles, but workmanship seems to be fair. Good thing i have the extended warranty 7/70000. this will probably be our last Chrysler product.

WOW!!! Can't say enough positive things about this car. I purchased new 3/2005 changed the oil every 3 to 4,000. I have 185,000 miles on her and she purrs like a kitten. I've replaced brakes twice, tires 3 times and replaced rear shocks. My fault for using it like a truck. That's it. I haven't had this type of reliability from my Honda CR-V. What a work horse! Couldn't be more satisfied for the money.

The pt cruiser is a great universal vehicle. The PT is quite flexible for storage with the removable seats. With the addition of winter tires, my PT was unstopable in the Chicago winters.

This is a great car, its my moms but I drive it most of the time because my car (1985 for ltd Crown Vic) is not reliable and has terrible gas mileage the worst. It is very fun to drive and my mom loves the car, but I keep it up. It is a very easy car to wash and wax untill you get to the lower grill in front. The engine that it has is only in 3% of pt cruisers so it's cool. The tires for the 18 inch wheels are expensive but look soooo amazing.
