Chrysler has expanded the PT Cruiser lineup once again for 2005. There are now eleven PT variations. The Dream Cruiser and Limited Platinum Edition have both been dropped from the lineup, but four convertibles and two Signatures models have been added.
The new two-door convertible is available with the Base, Touring, and GT trim levels, and all three PT engines are available with this body style.
Chrysler's 2005 Signature Series package was available on several different models, including the PT Cruiser, 300, Sebring, Pacifica and Town & Country. This package commemorates Chrysler's long history, and bundles several appearance and luxury features at no additional cost. Upgrades on the PT include a navigation system, chrome trim, a moon roof, Sirius satellite radio, and two-tone leather seats. This model is available with two engine options.
The Base wagon, Base convertible, Touring wagon, Touring convertible, Limited wagon, and Signature Series wagon are all powered by the original 2.4 liter DOHC inline four, which delivers 150 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. The Touring Turbo Covertible, Limited Turbo wagon, and Signature Series Turbo wagon house the mid-level engine option: a turbocharged version of the 2.4, which now makes 180 horspower and 210 pound-feet of torque. The GT and GT Convertible are the only two PT Cruisers to boast a 220 horsepower version of this engine, which sends them from 0 to 60 in just 6.7 seconds.
4.3 Overall rating
(48 reviews)Since the PT Cruiser has not been made since 2010 it lacks a lot of the newer tech and safety features. On the other hand it is simpler, less potential faults, warnings and etc. It drives fairly big for a small car, the Turbo GT versions have a lot of pep, good passing power, acceleration and such. Base and Touring models are somewhat under-powered. I was able to get mine with a manual transmission and a convertible top it is great for weekend trips and cruises. I like it a lot. Buyers should note due to age you may find needing to spend money on upkeep or at inspection time. Timing belt replacement at 100,000 miles or slightly before especially on low mileage used cars is a necessity and expensive $1100.00 plus and control arms and bushings will need to be replaced if not already done at 50,000 miles or so. Fun to drive, I have found relatively reliable. Retro looks are not for anyone . Lights can be upgraded to LEDs relatively easily. Lots of Facebook groups to find information, suggestions and hand holding. Very happy with my purchase.
It's a pint sized rocket ship. It's flippin amazing. If you want the ultimate in front wheel drive, the 2005 PT Turbo is the car to beat.
With a 0-60 of 7 second and a power top that only takes 10 seconds to put down, this is a very fun and roomy compact convertible. i do wish Chrysler had splurged a little more for the center dash, but with heated leather seats, it is overall an enjoyable car. wish it got better fuel economy though, i only average about 20 mpg
This is a great fun convertible, the turbo charging makes this car a fast nimble toy. Plenty of room for adults in the rear seat and a surprising amount of trunk space although I would suggest leaving the boot at home if you're filling the trunk with luggage.
Cute interior and exterior - you can customize. 138000+ miles still like new. Brakes well, handles well, acceleration little slow bit of a rough ride. Hauls BIG things, mileage is about 25 city, 29 hwy. Some squeaks but easy to fix.
