2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser Base Reviews

Overall a very nice ride, it handles very well but is a little sluggish when accelerating. The interior is spacious and is great for hauling things in as the rear seats not only fold flat but come out. The road noise in minimal and the sound system is decent. I want to put some suicide doors on some day...

Um, I got it cheap, put a ton of miles on it, sold it back, I hated it all along but I did use it to haul everything to renovate my condo. gas mileage was okay but engine was loud and lazy. still think it looks like   a mini hearse

We bought our PT curiser because even though it is a small car, it's chasis is high off the ground making it is easy for 60 year olds to get in and out of.  You don;t have to squeeze down into it.  It was also the right price and promised good fuel economy.  We were happy with the carrying capacity with and without passengers.  We liked the removable seats in this non-van.

There are a few things we don't like.  It's turning circle is terrible.  You can never u-turn on a 2 way street.  The brakes have developed a consistent shrieking squeek that our Chrysler dealer can not fix.  The power window controls on the centre console are terribly annoying and totaly counterintuitive.  You are continually explaining to people in the backseat where they are.  The white backed speedomoter dial is impossible to see in the bright sunlight with your sunglasses on.
