Good little car

The cruiser has been a dependable vehicle.At 175k I have had to spend some money on it but just normal wear.It still runs great and I plan to drive it until something catastrophic happens like a head gasket or a rod or something.

‘05 Chrysler PT Cruiser Turbo GT Convertible

Let me start by saying that I AM NOT, and never have been a “car” driving kinda gal... I like my big, 4 wheel drive, diesel, pick up trucks, and that’s what I have always driven. However, I acquired this lil car in a literal horse trade, as partial payment toward the animal the folks were wanting to purchase. I did NOT expect to like this car, but I actually like it ALOT! It’s economical, sporty, (mine is the 2 door sport convertible) and hella cute when the top is down. Decent ride, not like a lot of smaller “sporty-type cars tend to ride. I give mine a 4 out of 5 stars. I would NOT, however, recommend the 4 door, hard top, hatch back models. My uncle purchased one brand new, and the ride was horrible! Maybe the difference is the fact that one is a sporty model while one is not. I love mine!

It is a good truck. I did not purchase it new, I believe I was it's 3rd or owner. It was expensive to get some things fixed initially. Between my mechanics follow up and my insuring parts are updated. It is doing well for it's age.

It's hatchback is just what the doctor proscribed for me. i don't have to lift up and lift out of the trunk. I may simply pull an let cargo drop to an awaiting cart or the ground or lift up only once. Getting in and out is with ease. Where it can be uncomfortable sitting on my sofa, I can drive for hours in comfort in my truck.

I bought this car as a runabout and to go to the beach, it's a covertable.

It was used with over 170,000 miles, so when the turbo failed I wrote that off as age cost $1000. Now the fan assembly went out, it cost over $600. It runs nice and the exterior and interior is in good condition. So, if you plan to buy a used PT Cruiser be prepared to spend some money.in repairs.

O Stars

Worst vehicle I have ever owned. Head Gasket oil leak at 30,000 miles, bad crankshaft at 54,000. No car now and walking everywhere at age 60. Thanks Chrysler.

Not impressed.

I’ve had no major problems with the car but it is very uncomfortable riding in it. I definitely would not buy another PT Cruiser.
