Used 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Touring Wagon FWD for Sale near Chicago, IL

Although this car is ugly on the outside, it makes up for it's lack of beauty on the inside. Sporting a 4 cylinder engine, this car will get the job done. In our 3 years of ownership, there has never been anything wrong with it. It still drives like the day we bought it! Gas mileage ranges anywhere from 19mpg to 27mpg! The indash computer tells you how many miles you're averaging to the gallon, and how many miles left you have on that tank! With the wide wheel base, even on the windiest days you stay in a straight line. It does, however, make U-Turns a little tricky!

We drove this car to Florida on our honeymoon. The color matched our wedding colors. I was able to swap my custom wheels from a breeze on to it, as well as my intake, just for fun. Sounded and looked great. I would've bought one if I could have.

Corners well, accelerates decently, hold a lot of stuff, good ergonomics, but stuff went wrong.

The Personal Transportation Cruiser has a lot of great things going for it. One of the new retro cars like the beetle, mini, and HR it is easy to find in the parking lot. It is large enough to haul a washer or dryer. I have enjoyed it. It is 10 years old and has 125K on it. It runs well, but the chassis is falling apart. And the AC goes out too much.

At 6'2" with a medium build, I felt physically comfortable driving this car for the duration of my ownership. I always shopped between Chrysler and Firestone for the cost of maintenance and repairs, mostly focusing on the quality of the warranties for parts and service, so cost of ownership was about what I expected it to be, considering any car these days is a depreciating investment in precious metal. As far as the safety features, the only feature that bothered my sense of safety is the wide rear posts which interfered with having a wider range of vision from the inside rear view mirror. Considering individual driving habits are exactly that...individual...I experienced no difficulties maintaining steering and braking control when the metropolitan rush hour traffic tossed its best and worst at me. Again, I recommend this car for a first-time teen driver since the acceleration is tame and curbs the desire to speed.
