Bought my first PT Cruiser on line, preproduction. Picked it up May 12, 2000. I had to have but two repairs. After 145,000 miles I decided it was time. Looked at lots of others but the comfort I am a big man) and style I just love.

My Second PT

This is the second PT Cruiser I have purchased. Had my first one for four years and just wanted to update. It is a reliable and fun car. I get good performance from the PT. It is easy for seniors to get in and out because it is a bit higher and our folks like to ride in my car. Seats 4 adults comfortably and can have 5 if younger children in back. There is enough leg room in both front and back. Good trunk space. Great for tailgating/picnics - having the table in the trunk area.

Worst car I have ever owned

2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Touring 2dr Convertible (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

Bought this PT convertible with 42k miles on it, now has 45k miles on it, one problem after another. Had to replace the TIPM, the PCM, radiator fans, camshaft sensor, idle control sensor, crankshaft position sensor, oxygen sensors, MAP sensor, MAF sensor, throttle body assembly. These cars are junk, do not buy, one problem after another and hard and expensive to work on.

PT is the best bang for the buck in NYC

I love my little tank. It takes the streets of NYC without fail and the only problem in the gas. For a little car it drinks gas in traffic. I love the fact it is little for parking and the room is great inside. For the money I love it in Brooklyn, NY and with the cost so low I can get the bumpers re-painted from everyone hitting me when parked. A++ for anyone in NYC who wants a car!

I had a dream that I bought a PT Cruiser two weeks ago, I knew I had to go and test drive one. At first I wasn't sure of this car the look anyway, and then I drove the 2006 PT Cruiser, and fell in love with it. I have to keep going into the garage to look at it, the interior is so cool. I love the look, and it drives so smooth. You have to go and test drive this car. I'm a single mom and have a 1 yr old we are so happy, we found the perfect car for us!! Thank you Chrysler for building this vehicle.

So far, so good

I bought this car three days ago, and I'm loving it! It's small on the outside, extremely versatile and roomy on the inside, with great headroom. The engine could be a bit zippier, but the car is very well laid out and it feels extremely tight and rattle free. I'm replacing a Honda Accord (which I unfortunately just totaled) and I feel like I've taken a step up in fun and versatility.

Better GPH and a lil' more pickup

We just purchased this car last month. It seemed like the MPG was going well at first, but it took a downfall. I am an all city driver and need good GM. I am sad that I was mislead on the MPG. This car is a little sluggish on acceleration (turbo may be better). Other than these two things I totally love the car! While I can live with a little bit of slug I can't live with MPG. Sadly, it may have to go when I can get something else. Or, maybe they will improve it next year and I can get a better PT. I think they look smoking hot. - Hope this helps anyone looking at these cars.
