My PT Cruiser

The car has lasted a long time. It's unfortunate that it looks like the most I'm going to get from it is maybe 160,000 miles if it lasts now that I possibly have a blown head gasket. It's not worth fixing.

'06 PT Cruiser

My Cruiser has only 68K miles, but Over the 11 years I have had it, I have spent what I think is WAY too much $ on it for the low mileage it has. I have been faithful in having regular maintenance approximately every 3,000 miles but even so there have been inordinate and expensive repair costs.

Different feelings

I bought my 1st or in 2009, loved it, never had any big problems. Then I wanted one with less miles (6 yrs. later). Got my 2nd. It was a limited and I liked the look, also low miles. It's been a constant pain, it has buckle and fined me to death. Will not get another.

Good car, but not supported be Manufacturer.

2006 PT Cruiser, was a used car purchase, that is just OK, due to the lack of parts availability. You expect things will likely need repairs, but not being able to find parts, was an unexpected surprise. The car runs well, seems dependable when running and has a nice appearance. Going forward, this vehicle is a gamble since they no longer make parts for it and its aging by the minute.

My PT Cruiser

I love it. Being short waisted I have trouble seeing over the steering wheel in other cars, but I can see great with no strain in my Cruiser. The gas mileage is the bad part, not too good 15-16mpg. It is also distinctive and is easy to find in the parking lot.

great little car

I have had my car for nearly ten years and it has 92,000 miles on it. It is dependable and inexpensive and uncomplicated to repair. I love this car. My only complaint is that my cloth seats spot and stain too easily.

love my car

I know it's clunky and corny, and I wish it got better gas mileage. But this car has run without crisis for over a decade. I drive everybody everywhere because of my ability to carry large items and because my car is reliable. I dread its demise.

2006 PT Cruiser Review

While I like my 2006 PT Cruiser, I loved my 2005 PT Cruiser better. I do not like the shift sequence in the 2006 with reverse right next to first gear. Even with the alarm for reverse, it is too easy to miss first gear and put it in reverse. I also do not like the leather seats. They are cold and hard and even with care are cracking in spots. Yes we have seat heaters, but the seats are still cold when you first get in, and the seat heaters absolutely KILL the batteries. While I like the power the Turbo gives me...I'm a 63 year old woman. Do I really need that? Both our 2005 and 2006 lost their air conditioning at about 58,000-59,000 miles. We never got the 2005 repaired. Our son now owns it. However, the 2006 has been pretty reliable and has been fun to drive.

Pt cruiser

Only complain I is less gas,milage than I'd expect from a small vehicle. Reliable and good in snow. It has been abused and maintenance for a period was less than recommended, but no repairs that weren't due to collisions.

A little trouble to work on but I am keeping my PT til it doesn't work anymore especially since it is going to be an antique because they stopped making them. I plan to have it customized when I have the extra money

06 pt cruiser

I like the versatility of this car. I can fold down or easily remove the back seats for larger items. My only major complaint is how low the front end is to the ground. In winter, the front end acts like a shovel & gets the car stuck in snow. I do wish the drivers seat would recline.

Looks

It doesn't look like every other damn car on the road. So apparently I have to throw in some more words. That seems sill when it's not really necessary, but what the hell, I can make 200 if that's important.
