Love my car.

My 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser GT Turbo is a good looking car with quite a bit of zip to get in and out of traffic. It rides smooth, seats 4 comfortably, and gets about 32 m/gal of gasoline. The heating system works great with a little extra from heated front seats. It also has a good sound system with a 6 compact disc player. This car has been very reliable for me and with the rear seats down it can carry a good payload. I rate it 5 STARS.

older vehicle, but runs great

2003 cruiser. The comfort is amazing, runs great. I've had to put money into it, but that happens when you buy a used car. I won't be buying any other model. I'm hooked on PT Cruisers.

2003 PT Cruiser

I have had this auto for 13 years and have had only the usual maintenance, oil changes, new tires and new batteries. Have had some brake work done and need some front end work done. That is all so far. Great vehicle, lots of cargo room, easy to drive and has been dependable through the years.

Best car ever

My 2003 PT Cruiser GT is a practical yet fun little car. I have a manual transmission, and with the turbocharger, I do not hold up traffic! The performance is exceptional, with quick acceleration and sure-footed handling. A real hoot to drive. The car is also practical. The seats come out leaving enough room to transport just about anything a normal person would require. With the rear seats in place, two people over 6'2" have commented on how much leg and head room they have. That's not an issue for me; I'm not that tall. The cockpit is well laid out, everything I need is within easy reach. Additionally, the body style, to me, resembles the cars from the 1930s that the Chicago gangsters used, at least in the movies, My Cruiser has been a reliable, versatile and roadworthy vehicle that has only required the normal, periodic maintenance required as the mileage rises. I keep the oil changed and the radiator flushed, check the fluid levels frequently, and with help from Coopers Auto in Tacoma, WA, it just keeps purring like a kitten. If this is the last car I drive, I will be happy. It's a good little car and I love it.

Thoroughly delighted with my 2003 PT Cruiser! It's unfortunate that Chrysler is not continuing this model in the Chrysler collection!

I love my PT. I received it as a Christmas present!!! I could not have picked a better car for myself. Runs so good and I love how it looks. My sister said she would own one and my nephew loves to drive it.

PT Cruisers are very versatile and great Vehicles

My husband and I have 2003 PT Cruisers. We love the retro look and have found after using ours when we were moving that they are more like a smaller SUV. The back seats can lay down and the entire vehicle behind the front seats can be used for moving or hauling items. My Cruiser has leather upholstery and the drivers seat is heated. I also like the drivers seat adjustment which is electric and can smoothly move forward and move vertically if the driver is short as I am. The Limited version also has a Moon roof and the steering wheel position is adjustable. We have the convenience of an SUV without the higher maintenance cost.We love ours!

Good on maintenance

As long as you have a good mechanic...the pt will last you a long time; even on high mileage. Its roomy, yet classy. I love the seat folds and the hatchback. Its like an suv but compact. It cruises but has pick up. The best car I ever had.

2003 PT Cruiser GT.

I have absolutely loved this vehicle. I purchased it used in 2011 with hardly used mileage. I have only needed to do routine maintenance work every year until 2019, and even then it was routine for the age and mileage, as is now. With the turbo charge, custom pinstripes, and quality, sporty wheels & rims I purchased, this car has been so fun to drive. Plus, with the back jump seats easily removable, and extra space behind, I had plenty of room for my 2 very large dogs. When I moved across the country, I pulled a medium sized U-Haul trailer with ease. I have driven in every kind of bad weather & conditions that one can encounter, and my car has handled well. In Wisconsin our winters could become spontaneously treacherous! And road salt is damaging to the underside. That’s about the only bad side to this car, is it’s tendency to rust. Best to wash frequently and store it in a garage. Now that I live in AZ, it’s the sun that’s hard on a car’s paint job, and the tires. I know that sooner, rather than later, I will need to replace my PTC, but at 18 years old it’s holding up better than is expected.

My husband and I both have PT Cruisers and we love them!

We love our PT Cruisers! They can be as nice, comfortable and serviceable as any SUV. My model is a “Limited”and has an leather,heated fromt seat. Chrome detail, Sunroof, front seats that totally recline. back seats flip forward make a full cargo area large enough that I have moved a full size crib in it! I love the large hatch back adjustable shelve area for groceries or shopping. CRYSLER, PLEASE BRING BACK PT CRUISERS. WE LOVE THEM!!!!!!

Been a good car for me

Bought this car for my Westie for our trips to OH State veterinary hospital...he passed a few years ago & now my Morkie is enjoying this car immensely! He loves to go on our daily trips. Never had a recall which is more than I can say for the Cadilac I just sold. Will drive this till I can figure out what to get for my next primary car...which will be difficult since even 2016 models have already been recalled!!
