Disappointed

2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser 4dr Wagon (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
I have had this vehicle for a little less than 2 years and I am seriously worried that it will not last another 3 years. I downsized from an SUV to save on gas only to find out that I average 23.5 mpg in this 4 cyl car. My SUV got 20-21 avg. I am very disappointed with the overall structure and mechanical performance. My 6 year old broke the glove box latch by trying to open it. Won't buy another Chrysler.

This is my first American Made car. I love the styling, the color and the ride. I am VERY disappointed in the gas mileage however. I was told by my dealership and by most websites that this car would get an average of 30+ mpg, it's a 4-cylinder so why wouldn't it??? Mine averages 17-19 in the city and 23-25 on the highway and this is when I am actively trying to keep my mileage down...no idle, coasting when I am able, avoiding accelerating. This is unacceptable and it would have prevented me from buying this car had I been told the actual numbers. American automakers have got to get fuel economy in check if they want to compete. I will be going back to Japanese on my next car purchase.

My PT has been a great car. No mechanical problems at all. My only suggestion would be to make the headrest more comfortable. It tilts forward or isn't the right height for my height. It's to tall. This makes me lean forward the whole time I'm driving. It's the only complaint I have about this vehicle at all.

Love how the car handles and looks. I've wanted one after I first saw the first one come out. I have an electric blue. My youngest son said why did you buy one of these, but after he road in it he loved it. I have all the special features, heated leather seats, sun roof, 6 disk cd player, auto stick, and more. It has the speed, smooth ride and is a blast to drive. My husband dosen't get to drive it much because I love it so much. Also my friends that have been in it also love it.

This is a fun car to drive with two exceptions: 1.With the turbo, it gets about 15.3 mpg in combined city/hgwy driving. 2.The turning radius is very large requiring back and forth motion. On the plus side, the car is very tight and the driver's seat can be adjusted very high making it very comfortable.

I am very disappointed in my PT cruiser. Steering ratio super bad. Visibility when backing is dangerously bad. There are blind spots. Looking to buy another car and other brand as soon as possible.

The PT is a comfortable, beautifully designed sun-tanning machine. With the turbo it is fun to drive, and with the top down, it's a blast.

I am at 12,000 miles now and getting 17 highway mpg. I have the 4 cyclinder engine so there is no power and no fuel economony. The car also needs a 1/4 mile to turn so its not the most nibble bike on the block. The car has no wind silencers so you may want to bring your earplugs if your going to be going over 50. The car is attractive and very spaciouse but when a minivan made by the same company gets better gas milage something is wrong.

I bought this car new after selling a 1996 Ford Explorer. I thought with a 4 cyl it would get good gas mileage. It was HORRIBLE. My '96 Explorer got better. I kept it for 18 months, and recently traded it in for a Chevrolet HHR. I was very disappointed in the gas, and at over $4.00 a gallon, could not justify keeping it any longer.

i have really enjoyed my 2006 cruiser the 2nd month after i bought it i hit and killed 2 deer while going 40mph the only damage was it knocked out the black plastic in the front bumper and cracked the clearcoat on the bumper. i get around 22-23 mpg and i have an k&n airfilter in the airbox. the a/cdoes ok but when you switch it to recirculate it does very good. i do recommend a bra for this car because of the front design, bugs love to hit it. the seats inside are very firm that is a minor drawback, lots of room inside also

I traded in my Jeep Grand Cherokee for this fun, zippy little car after renting one while on vacation. I have always wanted a convertible, and living in Austin, we have the perfect weather for it, seeing as we really only have about 2 weeks of winter here. It is such a blast to leave work, put the top down and take the long way home. I get lots of comments on how 'cute' it is compared to the standard 4 door model.

I bought this car and the next day had to take it back because of it shaking. Fast forward to two years later we have had new bushings, new engine, new axle, and much much more work done to it. It still shakes in third gear they cant seem to fix it and it is not a normal shake the original dealer that we bought it from has finally said it is normal and won't have anymore to do with it. We have bought two other cars just so we don't have to drive this one anymore This is by far the worse car i have ever driven.

I like this "little" car. Excellent seating (i'm 240 6ft) seat a little hard, may soften up. Could be softer like the sebring seats- it's a cruiser after all. Basically, all is well but the gas mileage. I'm not a leadfoot driver but i'm getting 17 mpg/city 22 highwy. Much different than what brochures say. Purch 6/06 1850mi at 9/06. Called both dealer and mfr & they say you know -these mileage estimates are done under certain conditions & everyone will get different mpg according to their driving habits Blah,blah,blah. Seems the engine is too small for the size of this car like it's under a load and straining i have the touring ed w/ turbo. I look forword for the v6 edtion!

I just bought my 06 touring conv. a few weeks ago and have to say luuuuv this car. Its fun peppy and sharp looking. never thought i would own a white car but that cool vanilla color totally got my attention. gas mileage was a little lower than expected but ya know i can live with it and do a few minor improvements under the hood to squeeze out a few more mpgs

I traded in my Jeep Grand Cherokee for this car/wagon. I was looking for something with good fuel economy as I drive 90% in the city. I liked the looks of the PT and the salesman talked me into it due to it having a gas "sipping" 4 cylinder. I have no idea how people are getting 17 or more mpg? I've put in new plugs, tuned it, and put in a KN high flow filter and I average 15.9 mpg with a standard commute. The shop says "to bad". I gave up 4 wheel drive, room, and v8 performance for an extra 3mpg? I've had similar problams with water staining the seats, I can't get the headrest in a comfortable spot, and the speakers already sound like they are about to blow? I would never buy one again.

I have a 2006 PT. The gas mileage is robbing me blind. I had only had the car for 4 months when the air condition may the car run hot. I would have to pull over for it to cool off. I was stuck out of town when it first happened. I missed 2 day of work. The steering wheel shakes. I've had the tires rotated and aligned. I say it at least once a day that I hate this car.

dealer commited fraud, forged papers, car only got 18 mpg. poor service from chrysler and dealer, could not get warranty work done as parts not available, in the 2 years owned car windows never worked. chrysler advertised a 3 day test drive, wrong, false advertising, don't tell you if you have a trade in that does not apply. dealer called pt cruiser american, wrong, made in Mexico. dealer sold us extended warranty, why do you need this on a 39 month lease when the warranty from chrysler is 36 month, more dealer fraud.

The car gets 17 mpg, which is awful. You can't see traffic lights if you are the first car because of the sloping roof. The seat feels like you are on a bar stool and about to fall off, and is so narrow you have to sit on top of the bolsters, and I am thin! Front end drags when you hit the slightest dip. When cornering, tornado effect throws all loose items around car. Passengers usually complain of motion sickness. If something falls off the seat you will have to pull over to retrieve it. If you try to get something out of the passenger floor, the seatbelt will stab you in the ribs quite painfully. The removable seats are so heavy you can't remove them, or but them back. This car is terrible

We test drove a regular PT and found it to be sluggish. We just about gave up on the PT, when I found out that the GT version has 230 HP (I chirped tire in 2nd gear on the automatic) as opposed to the standard 150 HP. The car is not only stylish, but has tons of energy. The suspension and steering are tight and responsive. The new interior fits well the exterior. I only wished they did a few things extra like a glove box light, a light near the door handle and a little more chrome on a retro looking auto would help, but they make tons of aftermarket parts so you can customize to your taste.

I bought this car with low mileage as a dealer shuttle car. I figured since the dealer used it to simply shuttle people back and forth it would be reliable. Wrong, even the best mechanic couldn't save the horrible reliability of Chrysler. I have spent over $3500 in repairs to keep the car from over heating and to regulate the engine fans. My mechanic said he sees this all the time on Chrysler cars. No wonder this company cant stay afloat. I will never ever buy another Chrysler again. Thanks for making the WORST American made cars around. Stick to Ford.

We bought this vehicle for 4 reasons, American made, unique looks, economical price, and fuel economy. We are very pleased with it, after several months of driving now, and about 5,000 miles on the ticker. With the cruise control set at 62 mph on the highway, (I'm in no hurry) I can get 35 mpg all day long. It is roomy for a small vehicle, and quite comfortable. With the 5 spd manual it is a fun, spirited car to drive. 0-60 takes only 8.5 seconds. It is a lot of vehicle for the price you pay, and as reliable and trust worthy as the family golden retriever. If you are looking for a bargain in today's $3/ gal. society, and like to buy "American", look no further.
Good car overall.

I have had the car for almost a year now and am happy overall with the car. It has good power with the turbo, but the engine is a little loud under hard power. I have had a 2001 limited PT and a 2005 Convertible base. They all have been great cars, but the non-turbos have no power. The interiors on the 2001 and 2005 are far better then the 2006. The seats are notas good and the fit and finish is not as good on the 2006. Winter traction is very poor, but it is fwd. The headrests of the 2006 are very poor as well. Reliability has been very good on all the cars. The GT rides a little ruff, but handles well. The Turbo is quick, but nothing great. I have a 2006 Mini Cooper S which is faster

After 1 year I am averaging 17 mpg I get excuses from service dept. "You don't drive it right, different emissions, only under certain circumstances. will you get good MPG, the car is new, others are getting less (and this is something to be proud of?) When will the fuel mileage increase? I even got a call from Chrysler Corp. More excuses...

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!

Roomy Interior for bigger people with great leg room. Nice cargo space.Poor Fuel Mileage on automatic standard 4 cyl. Poor steering wheel placement for long rides. Easily fatigued on long rides over 150 miles for large/tall people. Performance lacks in every aspect.Rides like a cheap import. Brakes are somewhat lacking. Could use 4 wheel disc standard.

My Mom has had a PT Crusier since 2001. I was looking for a car and decided to look at the 2006 PT. This is a wonderful car with so much character. The upgrades that have been done since 2001 are amazing. The retro look really works well. I cannot wait to save money on gas this will be a huge savings.

It is not an economy car. I purchased it for my son, who just got his driver's license. The back seats can be removed, which is a plus when a teenager is driving the car. Studies show that the collisions occurs when a number of teenagers are in the same car. Reducing that number to only a driver and a passenger reduces the risk.

I went from an 88 Jaguar XJ6 to a 2006 PT Cruiser basic and am very happy with it. It rides well and feels substantial. I was taken with the exterior design when they first came out but didn't like the dark interior. The 2006 has a great interior and friends with more expensive cars have love the dash.
I love mine!

I personally have not had any problems with my cruiser. It has plenty of room for a 4 cyl and plenty of storage and space if needed. We have 5 people in our family and can all take long trips in comfort and style. We have owned numerous vehicles with no such luck. Gas is really good in mine and it still drives like a new car. No problems what-so-ever. I would definitely recommend this car to others. My mother in law has had one for the last 7 years and has never had a problem with hers. She just loves it. She recently traded hers in for a 2008. Good luck to everyone and hopefully you will enjoy yours as much as we do ours!

What a great car. After totaling my Aztek, I looked at a lot of car models. They all looked very generic to me with the exception of a couple of Hondas & Toyotas.... and the Cruiser. I don't pay extra for the "privilege" of owning a Japanese car so I looked at the Cruiser at my salesman's suggestion. I couldn't believe I could get a car this nice for an on the road price of less than $14000. I was a little worried about gas mileage after reading some reviews but I'm averaging 27MPG combined and almost 31MPG highway. WOW! I'm only sorry that I didn't buy a Cruiser the last time I purchased a vehicle two years ago.

I love this car! I wanted something a little bigger than a compact sedan, but didnt want the fuel consumption of an SUV or the dreaded station wagon. This car is cute, affordable, reliable and has the perfect amount of space for a family of three on a road trip. The only things I would change are the seats. They could use widening. I'm not overweight, but my behind hangs over a little, and the turning radius is a little wide. Other than that, its perfect!

i find this car to look great, but inside, i have a horrible time getting used to it. my husband is 6'5" and 300 lbs and he can drive it with no problem. however, the window levers are placed in the middle of the dash and that is an awkward place, the cup holders sit in awkward positions and aren't suitable for most drink or cups, the steering wheel doesn't adjust much, the seat are so hard and the front sits so low that it's already cracked from speed bumps. i like it, but would definitely shop more for something less awkward. oh, acceleration and gas mileage are awful. it costs $45 to fill up with today's gas prices and it rags during acceleration and is LOUD!

People definitely have a "love-hate" relationship with the pt cruiser style; they either love it or they hate it. I, of course, loved it. When it first came out in 2001 it was too pricy for me but when I realized how steeply the price had dropped I had to have it. My previous vehicle was an SUV and this was an EASY change for us, a family of three. The cruiser is at least as roomy and much, much more fun. I've always loved the exterior which hasn't changed much over the years and was pleasantly surprised with the interior of the 2006 as well. This car feels, rides and handles great. I can't believe the price is as low as many MUCH less impressive vehicles.

This car is just plain fun. I have always driven large SUV's because of kids, but loved the look of the PT Cruiser. I bought this one for a steal and I LOVE it. It is responsive. It makes me happy to drive it. It never fails. The positioning of the instruments have taken getting used to, but I think it all lends to the different kind of car you see from the out side. Fuel economy is a about 20 city 24 highway for me. The seats do stain very easily so I bought covers. I love driving this car.

I've had 2 Croozers, 00 and 02, and the 06 seats are awful!! I was so disappointed when I test-drove I may go look for an 05 instead. It feels like you're sitting ON the car now instead of IN it. There's less headroom than before and the whole interior feels smaller. I'm 5'6" 220 and I'm not comfortable in this car anymore...it makes me cry! I've got to hold down the cost so I can't go for a Limited or GT with their adjustable seats, even if I knew it would help! I've even looked into getting the seats rebuilt aftermarket but it's crazy that I have to even consider it. I love the rest of the car but the seat problem is too big to ignore. What a shame they improved the wrong thing.

wish the car rode better, mpg is very disapointing 20-22 city and highway. expected more on highway. purchased new and spent multiple times in shop for sensors. paid for bumper to bumper warranty. brakes seem bad since new and has always had weird steering shimmy-like bad rotors, was told there was no problem and they turned the rotors. thankful i bought the warranty 60 months/65000 miles. no out of pocket. learned my lesson with my LHS, which i miss, that was a great car.

I have always always wanted a PT Cruiser and finally have my "Dream Car"!! The one I chose is the basic PT Cruiser but it had to be Electric Blue! This little baby gets super mileage and it is soooooo comfortable and has lots of room for passengers as well as the hatchback area holds alot too! I love shopping at Lowes and have toted home alot of plants, mulch, etc and this car can handle anything I purchase and then some in the rear storage area! The '06 has been redesigned with minor changes here and there and it is a wonderful improvement on all the little extras they've put in. I am 5'7" tall, all legs and have plenty of room in the drivers seat! Get a PT today, you won't regret it! :

I bought my Limited Turbo new. It was the styling that sold me. I love the roomy interior vs: the small exterior. Tall people don't do too well in the back seat however, (heads rub the roof). The original tires all went bad before 25K. Mechanically it has been sound. Has plenty of power for my needs. MPG could be better. Turning radius is wide so plan ahead, that's my only real beef right now. No issues as of 28K. Overall I have been happy with this car. Someday I may even calibrate the compass.

Fit and finish on my car have been first rate. The car is very fun to drive and handles well. The seating and view are very good. The interior space and extra storage are great. I was surprised to find out the car needed fron rotors at 15,000 miles, additionally I have never been able to achieve the rated mileage, my car gets 18-20 in the city and about 23 on the road using the cruse control at 55-60 mph. I live in the south so we have to run the air conditioner in the summer. I also don't like the shudder mine makes when you first start from a stop sign. It was fun to drive it through the mountians but the 18-19 mpg realy hurt our pocket book.

I bought my PT brand new, have had it in the shop for the A/C 4 times, took it in saying the car feels like it runs rough & they said it's fine. My extended warranty of course is over and the motor blew! This is the most unreliable car I have ever had. The customer service stinks with Chrysler. I wish I could get out of the car, but resale on these is so low I'm stuck with it.

This vehicle started the retro-craze. It is beautifully ugly! I have enjoyed every second in this still head-turning panel van. Chevy has tried to copy it recently and Ford knows better. I picked the cheapest on the lot because I needed a low cost commuter. Air is my only option, but the Cruiser comes with tilt wheel, power windows, power locks, and a stock stereo and speakers that rival my old '91 Dodge Shadow ES Turbo that I equipped with an aftermarket Sony Explode sound system. The bass on the stock 6 speaker system is incredible! The base 2.4 L 4 cylinder is more than enough to power this vehicle. By 4 cylinder standards it is fairly large and would take most 6 cylinders. I love mine!

I downsized from my F-150 hoping to save on gas mileage, so far, not that great. But the upside is that as currently it stands the radio turns on and off when it feels like it. Only my right front blinker works. My battery dies if you leave the radio on(when it decides to work) for more that 5 minutes. The 12 volt plug in the center console doesnt work. The airbag light comes on just for fun. The automatic door opener in the back works when it feels like it. I'm just waiting to see what else on this car falls apart. But I like the interior design. Oh and yeah water does stain the seats. Thank God I live in San Diego where it doesnt rain that much.
I love this Car!!!

I have only had my P.T. turbo Cruiser convertible for a month and just love driving it, its not a light car but built heavy and strong and tight. This car is great on corners and has an excellent pick up when you give it a little extra gas. the top is easy to put up and down the boot is a little cumbersome 'til you get used to putting it on correctly. It has been fabulous on gas, and Im getting more mileage to the gallon then it represents on the stats. The trunk is not large but the back seats go down and there is an opening from the trunk into the back seat for larger items. This is the most fun Ive had in years. Dolores
Lots of fun!!

I have only had my PT Cruiser for a month but a week after we got it we went on vacation to the Great Smokey Mountains. It was wonderful riding through the mountains with the top down. The transmission was great going up and down the mountains. We didn't use the brakes much. I love the get up and go and the sound of the turbo. The trunk held all of our luggage, plus. You just have to bend over more to get to the trunk but that was fine. I traded a Lincoln Aviator for this car and it was the best thing I have done in a long time. No regrets!!
i like it !

On the whole i like it...they could have finessed it a little better..i think the 2006 has more to offer...The one thing I don't like is that when you step on the gas it has a tendency to fish tail a little.. i am not use to that...
PT ruined 2 holidays with malfunctions.

We fell for the shape of the PT. thus far we had two major failures (engine management system blocked the car because of 'blocked fuel line'??. replaced spark plugs and cables (myself, check the costs!)) and have had the antenna replaced 4 times. Still don't have reception, only in larger populated areas. Consumption in congested cities like where we live is absolutely sky-high. We hit the 14.1 liter/100km every so often. Doors creak terribly, it wakes our sleeping son in the backseat. Materials are bad: seat material stains with water (unbelievable but true!),dashboard creaks,a rattle inside te steering column. Good things? The looks, but the novelty wears quickly. The headroom in the back
Good car for the money

I am not sure how people are getting less than 20 mpg. I have the standard engine, automatic transmission, and am getting 22 city and 25 highway MPG. You cannot drive this car like it's a Corvette. Revving the engine up to 4.5K rpm routinely isn't your friend. I bought the car used with approximately 50k miles, and am really enjoying it. No issues to date so far, and it's a joy to drive. Styling is retro, which is a huge change from my prior car (Lincoln Continental). The engine is a bit sluggish, but it is not a blemish on the enjoyment factor. I have experienced a bit of engine vibration at higher RPM's, but it's not too noticeable. Fit/finish is fine...no issues.

after having a 2005 ion quad coupe 3 which turned out to be a lemon we decided to buy a 2006 pt cruiser, i love this car. it goes so much faster than my ion did and my daughter has more room in the back seat, also you dont feel like your sitting on the ground like in the ions ,
