33 of 34 people found this review helpful

Wife owns one of these, so I get a chance to drive occasionally. Not overly impressed with this car, but don't hate it. Acceleration is average, but the engine seems under-powered for the weight of the vehicle. The turbo version is better. Wife's car is auto-perhaps the 5 speed is better suited for the engine. Working on vehicle is difficult for many tasks given that engine is tightly wedged in compartment-changing timing belt and water pump is a real nightmare-I let the dealer do that job :) Styling is ok-wife likes it better than I do. That being said, it is pretty roomy on the inside-can easily fit 5 adults and cargo. Fuel economy suffers due to weight of vehicle.

I bought my PT GT used with about 37k miles. After the dealer performed a realignment the handling became quite good. I have been in a few low-speed front impact accidents, and the car has protected me quite well and been repairable. In a region of weather extremes (-20 to 105 degrees), I have never once been unable to start my car, outside of my effort to stretch more time out of my battery (college student). I commute to school, about 800 miles a week the last year, and the PT GT is quite an able speeder; it merges quickly and confidently on the highway and can hold 80 mph at a mere 2500 rpm. Much of the car is rock-simple, but the vitals (engine, drivetrain) are rock solid as well.

I've always driven larger vehicles and after looking at several PT's I decided on a Platinum series. I was suprised by the pep the turbo adds and the 'roomy' interior. I've driven the car about three months/2000 miles now. People constantly look and ask qestions. The car handles well. The headlights are bright, unlike our Caravan. The local gas mileage is at 18. Highway, well I've travelled across state once and the mileage wasn't much better. Probably due to the fact I couldn't contain myself. The car is a pleasure to drive. The mid-range acceleration is so smooth and quick. Yikes!!! Maybe the next road trip I'll set the cruise. Until then . . . .

I purchased my 2004 PT Cruiser GT a year ago after an auto accident had totaled my 2001 Ford Escort (no great loss). I had driven one previously as a rental in Florida and fell in love with it. When I bought it a year ago, it was fully loaded, all chrome, leather interior, great sound system, automatic seats, sun roof, spoiler, etc. It was a one owner vehicle and had around 55,000 miles on it; I paid about $6,000 for it.

One of the Best Vehicles I Have Owned

Hutchmonkey, 10/23/2005
2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser 4dr Wagon (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
21 of 22 people found this review helpful

The PT is one of the best vehicles for the money that I have owned. Road noise is minimal, with no vibrations, rattles, etc. The interior comfort is adequate, with lots of headroom and leg room. I am 6ft/260 lbs. and am very comfortable in the driver's seat. The only problem I have had was a "skip" in the engine - the dealer replaced the plugs and plug wires (free) and that took care of the problem. Gas mileage averages 28-30 highway and 19-20 city. The best feature is the versatility of the cargo space. I do clowning/magic shows, and the storage space allows me to carry all of my props with easy access. Distinctive body style also appealed to me. This has been a wonderful car!

Tranny at 65K

I like my cruiser, but I feel leery of the reliability. I've replaced the control arm bushings at 50K miles(known problem) and now the transmission went at 65K miles. Luckily the tranny was covered under the 7/70K warranty for a $100 deductable. Just an FYI for anybody buying a used one, Chrysler will let you register the car for warranty coverage even if you are not the original purchaser(I’m technically #4). I registered mine right after I bought it in 12/08. Just call them and say you want to register. Might just be the 7/70 warranty (2003-2004), so check. I'm not sure I would buy another one, especially when I drive about 20K miles a year.

This is my second PT and I can't find any negative aspects to report. My 'old' 2002 PT Limited Edition was great in all areas but power, it was just too gutless and had to be floored to get out of everyone's way. Hence the upgrade to my new 2004 Turbo Platinum Series. Stunningly sharp looking, chrome everywhere, luscious leather and suede seats, loaded with all the goodies I'd ever want .. and POWER! Chrysler really stepped up to the plate on this series. Bravo!

I don't know my cars annual gas mileage cause ive onyl had it for like a month. 6000 is an ESTIMATE. I have a 2004 Electric Blue Turbo Cruiser, and I love it! The exterior is so cool, the interior design is a pratical as my wife's 2004 XE Limited Edition Toyota Sienna, which is the most pratical car in teh world, more than a Honda Oddysey, at least. The seats fold and can be taken out, it drives great, etc.

A good car, strong and reliable. Great around town, and fine on the freeway. The only problem we've had is with the idle when the AC is on, but if you turn the AC off it's fine, and we didn't notice this when we first had the car so maybe it's the AC.

I bought this car because of high gas prices and my Explorer was a gas hog. This car is a blast to drive with the turbo. Nice interior with chrome accents and leather and suede seats. Platinum silver exterior paint looks real nice with chrome wheels. Was surprised with fuel mileage, only gets 21 city. Should do better. Brakes squeak when you first start out but stop after a few stops. Checked brakes and they have no wear, a mystery. But overall a great car for price. Only $9000 with 32,000 miles and loaded.

Bought my car used w/low miles. The brakes have always squeaked, had checked twice for the same thing. They say they just squeak. Oil pressure light has come on several times for no apparent reason. Check engine light comes and goes. Couldn't find out why. A/C went out the end of last summer, I live in TX and need air. Now my ignition will not turn either way, so I can't drive the car. Mileage is the same as I got in my Grand Cherokee Laredo, maybe not as good.

Have manual transmission, & has been the best MPG of any 4 cylinder vehicle I have owned - 33 mpg is top, but consistently get 30 mpg. (Keep records at every purchase.) Removed the back seats (takes a minute) & gas mileage went up by aprox. 3 mpg. Actually feels better on road without back seats. Hauled a washer, dishwasher & 8 ft 2x4's in it with no problems (hatch closed). Has more cargo room than Jeeps & Chevy Trackers. No repairs (normal maintenance) or problems. Do my own oil change, & love the access to oil filter and plug. Wish all vehicles were that accessible. Plugs: only use standard, not platinum: these will cause running problems. Love it and want to get 2nd!

We purchased our 2004 PT (new) in Feb 2005. We are currently at 64K miles & are not happy campers. We have had 4 service calls for engine jerking when starting the car. Dealership did a tune up and changed spark plugs the first time. Back to the dealership 21 days later (same problem), changed the spark plug wires (warranty). Back again 45 days later because of defect with the new spark plug wires (warranty). Now we are back again, but we are out of warranty. We had to replace the tires at 30K miles. We were told (by the Goodyear location) that the back end is out of alignment (from the factory) and cannot be fixed. We have 2 Hyundais with +160K and have never had service issues!

This was the best car I've ever owned. 61,000 miles on the odometer and not a single problem with it, not even a light bulb. The high output turbo matched to the 5 speed Getrag transmission would put an ear to ear smile across my face every time my right foot headed for the floor. Towing my two waverunners or my fishing boat was a breeze and the temperature gauge never budged from midpoint. When it was tire change time, I upgraded to a 215/50R17 size Conti Contact and the vehicle just got even better. The start of my review stated "was" the best. After getting tangled up with a Porsche on the highway, I slid sideways off the pavement at 65 plus mph and ended up rolling the car.

Bought new. Very dependable little car. Lost the transmission with 155K showing. The timing belt replacement was a lot, but for a "throw away" car, it's been fantastic. So much that we're looking a Chevy Trax because it reminds us so much of the Cruiser, BUT, the Cruiser is here to stay. Still looks and drives pretty good (a good "ten footer" now). Wish we had gotten the turbo. Will make a great spare now.

My problem is that I have had multiple front end and suspension problems. In four years I have had multiple wheel bearing, three sets of lower control arms and numerous trips to the dealship complaining about the rattle in the front of my car. Now I have more suspension problems, a broken motor mount and a blow head gasket. It is a shame because I really love my car just hate the poor design.

This has been an awesome car for us. Reliable and safe. Fits all of us nicely. Even I love to take it out without the wife, and have a little fun in town. It is definately a very underestimated performer. I have shocked more than a fair share of Mustangs and import tuners. I'm 6'2" and 235 lbs and I don't feel cramped in the drivers seat. We bought used with 2000 miles on it. It was a lemon law car from Pennsylvania. It was supposed to be some random electrical problem, but none was ever found. This car hasn't so much as hiccuped in the year we have had it. Will buy another Dream Cruiser this year or the next.

I've had no problems with the PT Cruiser at all. Much more power than I expected. All the controls are very handy. Had the car for almost 8 months and found a drawer under the passenger seat recently that had remained hidden. Always surprised by it's performance and Let's face it.The look really cool!

this is one fast car. engine feels like a v6 rather than a I4. lots of pep for tackling hills and overtaking with stock ECU. stock HP and torque numbers are impressive enough (220HP / 245 ft-lbs.) but i installed the stage 1 upgrade. the 17" rims with 50 series tires inspires confidence when taking corners. impressive cargo space. gotta love that versatility. turning radius is too wide for this vehicle but that's the tradeoff for having larger rims. the stock goodyears breakaway immediately on rain-soaked roads.

for a small car with a short nose one of the worst cars to make a u turn with,needs a city block!!! I had engine mounts replaced at 38,00 now at 60,000 find out they are gone again. $400.00. Had some leaks in my d/w took it to the dealer found out leaking from rack and pinon which had to be replaced and solenoid which had to be replaced. I had the extended warranty as my car only came with 3/36. Cost me 300.00 with deductive,front end alignment and power steering flush. Trouble with the a/c 2x the warranty covered less deductible. The car had 6,000 miles on it and had never been titled used as a demo? Cheated out of 1 year warranty backdated

My cruiser is very dependable, it had a little over 10,000 miles when I bought it and 15 months later it has almost 50,000! I like driving it, but the seats have to be the most uncomfortable seats I've ever experienced. Like a park bench. And it has no guts at all, none. The fuel economy is very poor. Much worse that the sticker said. The fun part of the car is all the extras that you can get. Unfortunately, the resale value is a joke. If you purchase from a dealer, after the 1st year, your upside down & it won't be worth even close to what you owe on it.

My wife and I both loved the styling of the PT Cruiser, but during test drives and renting one on a Florida vacation decided that we'd buy one if Chrysler ever put a real engine in it. Well, they finally did it!! In 2004, Chrysler put in a 220 horsepower turbocharged 2.4 liter four banger and followed it with a Getrag 5 speed tranny and limited slip differential. Who woulda thunk that my wife parked her chic car Cabrio and won't let me get the keys to the PT-GT. She comes home with reports of blowing the doors off Mustangs and the like. Good thing it has traction control!! Like the car you ask ?? No, we absolutely LOVE this car!! It tows our 2 jet-skis or our 16 foot jet boat with ease.

This car is great when it comes to comfort. The gas mileage matches my 2002 manual transmission Ford Ranger. The cruise control could be in a better position. Transmission is a little jerky between 0-20. Front wheel drives are usually like that with 4 cylinders wound tight. When matched to a manual transmission, they will do that. Great room for passengers and storage. Smooth and quiet ride. Great handling on 15 inch rims. Factory sound system stinks.

I had a 2001 Hyundai Elantra before this car and never had as many issues as I've had with the PT Cruiser. Granted I purchased it used, but within two days of purchasing it the mechanical issues began. I've had to replace the torque converter, battery, PVC hose, a torn CV joint and front left axle. It makes a grinding noise between 45-60mph, vibrates during idle and starting first thing in the morning, and this morning it almost stalled on me while driving 75mph. It's also very uncomfortable. I feel like I am sitting on a bag of rocks. This is the only car I've driven where you have to push up for the wipers, not down and the window controls are in the center of the vehicle.A true lemon

With more than 150,000 miles, and two grandkids, my wife’s ’95 Lincoln Town Car was showing it’s age in the form of repair bills. Its replacement would have to offer good mileage (something the Town Car didn’t), versatility with regard to storage (the Town Car has one heck of a trunk), comfort (a Town Car signature trait), and style. It had to fit in with a stable of “Retro Vehicles”, which includes a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500, a 2003 Jaguar XJ8, and the venerable ’95 Town Car. The black, 2004, turbo, Touring Edition, with the chrome package fit the bill perfectly. My wife’s only question is: “Should I drive the black Jag, or the black PT?”

Chrysler transmissions are fine they require proper service that means use the mopar fluid and change it when recommended. If you are not a mechanic don't mess with it. My pt has 70,000 mi. With no serious problems. The downstream o2sensor went out simple fix. A/c needs one can of Freon a year no big deal. Mileage isn't great but it's adequate I get 17 city and 24 hwy remember it's a wagon and it's heavy.

I am less than satisfied with the fuel economy provided by this weak 2.4 L engine. I love the options with regard to the interior configuration. My dog however, seems to strongly dislike this car.

Great little car. I live in a mountain region and travel 70miles up and down 2 mountains. This car whips around all the curves with ease.great pick up.

Gotta love this car!

I love this car! It's fast, fun, and comfortable. Plus, it's really practical for hauling stuff (that's the story I told my wife, and I'm sticking to it). Almost no turbo lag (pulls hard from about 2000 rpm), nice handling with a little body lean in curves, but it's a tall vehicle, so I expected that. I also drove the Limited turbo, but liked the seats in the GT much better. I've had lots of compliments on how nice and how comfortable the interior is. If this car is as reliable as PTs seem to be, it will be my favorite car ever.

We have only had this car for about 2 weeks, and have been loving every minute of it! The ride is very smooth, and it handles very well not only on the expressway, but on country roads! The gas milage could be a little better, but we figure when it breaks in a little bit, that will improve. The handling is very responsive. The design and fuctionality of the vehicle is top notch! So far we are very impressed with everything about the car!

The car is great and fun to drive. I love how the seats sit a little higher up than a regular car. It's roomy and very comfortable.

Bought a Friday car!

Unfortunately my experience has not been great. Although everything that has been wrong with it is somehow related to the wheels so this could just be a Friday car. Even at the dealership they couldn't understand why the wheel bearings were falling out or the brakes wore prematurely (there was a notch worn through them). I love the style and I love the versatility. Gas mileage isn't great for me average 19-20.

Dream of a Dream Cruiser

Our Dream 3 Cruiser is the best car I've ever owned, that's number one out of 62 cars !! This two-tone, turbo, leather interior is quite a car. 25K miles and not one problem of any kind. Mileage in the 26/27 mpg range consistently. And more power than most could appreciate. Perfect car to 'dress' up and is always getting attention whereever we go. Changed tires from the factory originals and what a difference it maeks - now even quieter and faster ! This car is just simply hard to beat regardless !!! Just hope Chrysler doesn't mess it up in it's next generation . What a car !!!!!!!!

Great car that is very roamy and easy to into and out of. High quality interior and exterior. We have had no problems with the car and its ride is very quite and smooth. Trade this car in on a Honda Civic and there is absolutely no comparison in the ride, quality of materials used in the construction, interior room, and handling the two cars. The PT beats it hands down. However, the Civic does get better gas mileage! Thanks, Courtney between

Only had the car a few months. No problems to report what so ever. GT turbo is awsome. Acceleration is great. Handles like a sports car. Interior controls take awhile to get used to. Gas mileage seems to be around 20 mpg on the highway. High output Turbo requires Premium gas. Gas mileage would be better if lead foot is left at home.

PT Cruiser a Multi-Mission car!

My Electric Blue PT is just a terrific car value. At just under $15,000 this "BASE" auto has Air Conditioning, Power Windows..Power Brakes, A CD player with 6 speakers, a spoiler, deep tinted windows and alloy wheels. I really wanted a 5 speed manual for the fuel economy and the dealer was happy to sell it because most people today want the automatic transmission. (I think this car had been sitting for quite a while just because it was a "standard" transmission) Even with the 5 speed..fuel economy is not too good. Some owners I hear average less than 20mpg with the automatic. The fit & finish on these Mexican made cars are just outstanding! The interior is full of top grade materials too!

I have been keeping an eye on the Crusier, since they brought them out waiting for a higher performance engine. After they brought out the Turbo,my husband and I decided to go try one out. I had my eye on a decked out green on with detail and the chrome wheels. We found out it was not turbo, but we tried both to compare and I do not see that much difference in regular driving. Also, the regular ran smoothier and not as rough as the turbo, I was not impressed. We ended up getting the one I had my eye on all along and I am very happy with it. It is a fun vehicle to drive.

love my car but when car idles and air isn't on it sounds like its going to cut out. Also after 16,000 miles had to do brake job. But I really like the look.
