2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser Limited Review
ProsReliable little car. Very roomy on the inside. ConsMaintenance costs are augmented by the fact that the front end of the car has everything condensed into a small space. The labor costs add up when the mechanic has to take other things off to get to problems.

Nice Commuter Vehicle — We are approaching 200k miles on the vehicle and haven't had any major issues with it. We are the 2nd owners of the car. It's gone back and forth to Virginia, Maryland, Boston, and New York with no problem at all. Primary Use: Family transportation

I Like It. I Get All My Cars Second Hand From The Same Friend. He Gets Rid Of Them Around 90,000mile — Its a nice little car. Good on gas. I can fit the kids in it when I need to. Its comfortable for a long ride and pretty decent in the snow.The front end is a tough one, I seem to always need an alignment. working on it is sometimes a problem real tight under the hood. I cant really complain. I bought it used and I got more than my moneys worth from it. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Enjoy The Cute Car. — I ordered this car after seeing a sketch of one, and waited 10 months for it to be built. Such a fun little car. Loved how easy to load and unload with the hatch back. Draw backs would be, it doesn't pick up speed very quickly. Mostly noticed when entering the freeway... Also U turns take a lot of space to navigate. I thought being such a small car that gas mileage would be very good...NOT I averaged 16 miles per gallon. My Chrysler 300C gets the same gas milege and it's a HEMI.

Great Car — Love this car. Nothing to complain about whatsoever. Build quality is fantastic. Performance is great for a car like this. Cost of ownership is easily affordable. VERY FUN TO DRIVE esp manual! It goes through turns like a hot knife through butter. It sits well and it keeps its footing in almost all conditions. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsGood family car. It's spacious. It picks up well and slows down quick. ConsTight engine compartment. Hard to work on.

Decent Bang For Buck. — It picks up well. It's spacious. Looks semi classic and has many possible modifications. Handles long trips very well with the touring suspension. Gas is decent. The stick shift makes it fun to drive, but if I had to buy again I would buy the turbo model. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

Would Never Buy A Chrysler Again — the only good thing about the pt cruiser is has plenty of room on the interior specially with the removeable 60/40 rear bench,but thats where the positive's stop.after purchasing the 2.4L 5spd touring edition pt cruiser i loved it until i hit 99,000miles then everything started going down hill big time. the engine blew out, 2 transmissions 3 clutch's radiator and list goes on and on | ||

ProsLooks nice, full leather interior, air con, cruise control, very comfortable, roomy & back seats can be completely removed. ConsToo Thirsty, repairs are expensive, limited as to where you can get parts from, not the quietest of cars & rubbish turning circle.

Quirky To The Extreme — What is this car? Is it a car? Or a wagon? Crossover? The PT Cruiser is difficult to classify as it looks like a combination of many things, you sit in it fairly high like a small truck or crossover and for the most part it drives like a car. The engine has surprisingly more than enough torque for everyday and spirited driving though fuel comsumption suffers when pushed too much. Its handling is quite good though a bit on the touchy side, while the brakes are unacceptably touchy and overly assisted. If deciding what to call it gave you a headache then avoid the interior as its layout makes no sense at all. Window switches are centrally mounted on the console and rear seat passengers have no switch of their own. Doors lock manually and individually. Really the only good part is that the rear seats fold and can be removed to increase cargo space. | ||

A Fun Car And A Good Car! — The PT Cruiser was one of the best cars from the Chrysler family. It changed a lot over the years, but the basics were still the same. Performance wise, there's an OK amount of power with the non-turbo model, and more than enough when you get the turbo engine. Handling is pretty good and the solid (and weighty) car really holds the road. Handles easy and stops very well. It is always a blast to drive the car, and I get a lot of looks with all of the modifications done to make the PT Cruiser into PT Bear*Num, an award winning "Woodie" PT Cruiser. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
