Bought my mother age 78 a Stock 4 door PT Cruiser. The car came Nicely equipped and rides like a bigger car. The 4 cylinder is bigger than most. It has full size 15 inch wheels and lots of head and legroom. The new interior is excellent for the 2006 model year. She got the car for $2200 down and $120 a month for a 27 month lease. Great deal on a 4 door sedan.

It's a kick to drive !

While I've only had this 'Cruiser a month or so - I felt compelled to tell you all what a kick it is to drive, for an economy car. This is one of the few vehicles I've ever purchased strictly on a budget, and with a purpose in mind.. Cheap, Dependable, and good on gas. I needed all 3 as a second car with little time to dicker about it.. and this car excels in all 3 areas - and I can't beleive what a fantastic buy this was for under 14K! If you're looking for good reliable "basic transportation" and don't want to break the bank.. check this out. It's one of America's best kept secrets!

Can only Blame Myself

This is the first car that I got financed and in the spirit of wanted to trade this trash in I finally started reading reviews of other vehicles. I decided to see the reviews on the 2006 PT Cruiser that I currently own and must say AMEN to gas mileage being a joke and I never knew water could stain like coffee. I can only blame myself for not reading reviews before purchasing.

Learn to drive before you whine

I use my cruiser to deliver pizza. It never gives me any problems in any type of weather. I have seat covers so staining is no issue for me. If you know how to drive correctly and take care of your vehicle it will reward you. The only time I've had to take it to a dealership is for body work after people ran into me, which stopped after I got flame decals applied. I've put more mileage on my cruiser than anyone here and it never fails to perform.

Worst gas mileage ever!

I am getting between 11 and 14 mpg! I love the car and receive many compliments. Then, I tell them about the gas mileage. Chrysler has lost several sales because of the mileage. Much as I do not want to, I am seriously thinking of trading in the car because I cannot afford to drive it.

Still the best value on the market for style and versatility. This car drives like a car twice its size. Has a solid feel and confident handling.

I've only had my Cruiser for one week today and with each new day, I love it more. I have even washed it on my lunch hour! (Not something I would normally do.) For the price and features, you can't beat it.
