Love the car. Great shape. Love the gearbox and the turbo engine is surprisingly peppy.

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.

I have always liked the PT. I have owned 3 of them and still have the 03 and 05 Dream Cruiser Edition s. I have also owned the comparison HHR, The PT is more stylish and gets more attention. I just wish Chrysler had put more effort into it

I like the PT Cruiser, but it is a pain to work on. Not much room when replacing starter and stuff like that. When they built it, they put the most come fixes, when trouble shooting, in the worst places. Is very frustrating most of the time. But when mine runs, it is a nice ride. Keep up with normal wear and tear maintenance and it is good to go.

The Chrysler PT Cruiser was introduced in 2001, and represented one of DaimlerChrysler's first ventures into the retro-styled auto market. The PT was originally intended for the Plymouth marque, but by the time production began, the Plymouth name no longer existed. The compact wagon had its roots in the late-1990s Plymouth Pronto concept car.
The PT name has a dual meaning: Chrysler uses the term “Personal Transportation,“ but PT is also an abbreviation for the platform. The PT (Platform Tall) is a variation of Chrysler's PL (Platform Low) foundation, used by the Dodge Neon. The PT Cruiser shares many Neon components, but styling is reminiscent of the 1930s Chrysler Airflow models.
In the PT Cruiser's introductory year, only two trims were offered: Base and Limited. In the following years, Chrysler added GT and Touring trims and special additions like the Limited Platinum and Dream Cruiser Series. Other models include the Street Cruiser, Signature Series, and the 2006 Walter P. Chrysler Edition. A four-seat convertible was added in 2005.
The PT Cruiser is now in its seventh year of production, but it is still in the first generation of production. A series of updates came in 2006, which included a new grille, new head and taillights, a higher quality dash, and a new audio system.
The PT was voted the North American Car of the Year in 2001. Chrysler's reliability problems would unfortunately hamper the PT's reputation in subsequent years.
