Used 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser Consumer Reviews
Became unsafe to drive at 75,000 miles
I bought my 2009 PT Cruiser in December of 2016. The odometer showed 74,000 miles. It was a great car until March of 2018 and about 75000 miles. It started randomly shutting down without warning while I was driving. I took it to a reputable repair facility and it would not replicate the problem. After a couple of months it started doing the same terrifying thing. I took it to another reputable repair facility and was assured the problem was solved. After another couple of months it started shutting down while driving again. I googled "problems with 2009 PT Cruiser" and got to the NTSB website where I found several complaints identical to mine. I'm now buying a Certified Preowned Toyota or Honda less than three years after paying thousands of dollars for a car that is not safe to drive.

No Better Car For the $$
I just bought a new 2010 PT special edition (black and silver w/red leather seats). This PT is loaded and a blast to drive. I paid under 13K for a car stickered at $19995! (try buying a stripped HHR or Kia Soul for that!). I looked at a lot of cars and NOTHING came close to the bang for the buck that the PT has. The build quality is excellent. This is the end of production for these cars and they are sitting unsold on the lots which is sad but a real opportunity as well! Go get one!

Its fine.
My 2008 PT Cruiser has plenty of room, and it great for moving furniture. Performance with the naturally aspirated 2.4l isnt great but Its not bad once you get it up to highway speeds. I average about 20 mpg which, for a car this small, is pretty bad. Reliability has been fine, had to replace a few things over my 9 years of ownership, but its been no worse than my Accord. I'd buy it again.

Love the PT
This is my third PT. My first of the Limited and I wished it had a little more power and better handling. In 2004, I traded it in for the GT and I've loved it ever since. But I've always wanted a convertible so I just traded it in for a Vanilla one with the turbo. I couldn't be happier. I've read some comments about discontinuing the PT and I hope it's not true because I'll want another one in a few years.
still nothing like it
take your time, find one that has low miles.i purchased my 2009 pt , in 50,000 miles the only needed repair was fan assembly and cam position sensor ( cheap easy fixes). this car has been magnificent, i am 6'3 250 lbs. easy car to get in and out of and easy to drive. wish it had a little more power ,but besides that i would highly recommend.
