2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser - Mediocre PT Cruiser
I went to the dealership and purchased my PT Cruiser in April 2015. It honestly wasn't my first choice but the only vehicle that was in my price range. I had just been in a car accident that left me without a vehicle so I felt like I had no choice but to quickly find another vehicle. When I first saw the PT Cruiser at the dealership I immediately thought to myself, that's a ugly little car. I don't really care for the small body. I prefer a full size vehicle. When I test drove the PT Cruiser it was just okay. It had a slow take off as I have noticed seems to be the case with most vehicles made by Chrysler. Sometimes I push the gas a little hard expecting to take right off. Big fail. I absolutely do not like the tiny trunk. I can never get all of my groceries into the small space. I usu... (more)

Sometimes I push the gas a little hard expecting to take right off. Big fail. I absolutely do not like the tiny trunk. I can never get all of my groceries into the small space. I usually en up having to put some things on the back seat. If I'm running errands and need to go to more than one store I usually have to make a trip home midway to drop some things off because anyone can walk up to your car and visibly see what's inside the trunk. Overall, the PT Cruiser is not my favorite vehicle. If a person is just looking for a small simple vehicle this is the vehicle for them.
I drove my vehicle to a local beach for a weekend getaway. I had absolutely no problems that particular day.

My top positive things about my PT Cruiser are that it gets me back and forth to my destination, the headlights stay on a few minutes after you hit the alarm to get in the vehicle, and once inside the vehicle shortly after placing the vehicle in drive the doors automatically lock. The first con: it gets me back and forth to my destination. This is very important to me. More important than what the vehicle looks like actually. This car is actually pretty dependable. I haven't had any major issues since my purchase. The second con: the headlights stay on a few minutes after you hit the alarm... (more)

I haven't had any major issues since my purchase. The second con: the headlights stay on a few minutes after you hit the alarm to get in the vehicle. This feature is my most favorable. If I'm going somewhere at night my headlights help me find my way. The lights are not too bright. The third and final con: Once inside the vehicle shortly after placing the vehicle in drive the doors automatically lock. I absolutely love this feature. Its very convenient because I don't always remember to lock the doors. Sometimes they automatically lock when I'm turning a corner. Very nice feature.
My top negative things about my PT Cruiser are: the gas mileage sucks, the trunk is very small, and the panel for the windows is above the radio. My first con: the gas mileage sucks. I've noticed this with vehicles made by Chrysler in general. I find myself stopping at the gas station quite often. A little too often to be honest. This gets very costly and is very inconvenient. My second con: the trunk is very small. I absolutely dislike this feature. I can never fit all of my groceries into my trunk. I have to use space on my backseat. If I'm out running errands and need to stop by more th... (more)

If I'm out running errands and need to stop by more than one store I have to make a stop home to unload some of my bags because the trunk offers no privacy. Anyone can walk up to your car and look inside and see what's inside your trunk. My third con: the panel for the windows is above the radio. This is a very odd place to have this feature. On most car makes the panel is located on the door. I often find myself reaching for the door with the intent of rolling my window down. This is very disappointing.
2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser - PT Cruiser - For A Certain Personality Type
The PT Cruiser is a unique car that fits in with unique people. I know that a lot of people really hated the look of it when it came out, and I was originally one of those people. However, when I came to own one, I realized how biased my opinions were.
The interior was clean when I first purchased it, no cracks or dents in the dash, everything included save for the CD player. Over time it's held up exceptionally well and only recently sustained two cracks due to the humid heat that we have in our state. The engine has held up for 118600 miles thus far, and I just got the oil changed about two months ago. It drives smoothly though my particular vehicle has a problem at the back that makes the spare tire rack rattle. It's probably not indicative of the rest of the PT Cruisers, but it's ... (more)

It drives smoothly though my particular vehicle has a problem at the back that makes the spare tire rack rattle. It's probably not indicative of the rest of the PT Cruisers, but it's something that occasionally gets on my nerves.
My only real complaint about my car is the fact that it's so low to the ground that sometimes if I'm going out of a particularly steep driveway, the black trim underneath the bottom catches the road concrete. This always makes a horrible scraping sound and grates my nerves, but my father, who is my mechanic, has told me that it's harmless.
I'm a computer technician, and the fact that I have a hatchback is awesome. I'm easily able to get my equipment into and out of the back, and the upper rack that was provided with the vehicle provides even more space for other things that I can cram in there. The back seat also lets down which lets me store long panduit and conduit if I need to transport.
I was able to go hiking with my best friend and take a big cooler and all the things that we needed in my little PT cruiser. I didn't even have to really 'make' room for anything. It just fit. And it's so small that it was surprising.

It's a very durable, fuel-efficient car with a lot of space for people that have need to go and do things at work or off work. It comes in handy for a technician like myself. The fuel-efficiency helps save money when my budget is a little tight.

The only negative things that I can see are that it's so low to the ground that it scrapes and there's a small defect in mine that makes the spare tire rack rattle. I don't really mind the second one because I simply tighten the bolt and it stops for a little while, and the first one is more alarming than harmful.

2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser - Great first car, great gas mileage, great everything!
When I was car shopping I wanted something with great gas mileage, looks fun, drives great, fits plenty of people and is fun to drive. With my PT Cruiser, I got exactly that. This car is great for a first time buyer, gets great mileage (18-20mpg), and looks awesome. It fits all my friends in it and its fun to drive. It isn't too small, isn't too big, and is perfect for everything I need it for. I drive in the city for work and I can park it anywhere, I can drive fast on the freeway without any shaking in the steering wheel, I can slam on the brakes without them locking up, drive with the air conditioner and heater and I have never had any major problems with it. Overall, this car has been good to me and that is what I look for when purchasing a car. I have no regrets with this vehicle.

One time I was driving through Phoenix where I live and someone needed a ride. It was a pretty lady and I was headed in that direction anyway so I figured I'd be a nice guy and help her out. Once I agreed to let her in, she yelled out to all her friends and they all came running over looking for a ride too!

Once I agreed to let her in, she yelled out to all her friends and they all came running over looking for a ride too! They were all really pretty girls and needed a ride so I obliged and spent most of the night dropping each one of these girls off. Probably one of the funnest nights I've ever had with strangers.
The pros are its American made and parts are cheap for it.
It looks cool, drives great and smooth. The sound system is loud and fun to bump! The size of the car is perfect, it fits all my friends inside comfortably and it gets great gas mileage. The A/C blows cold and the heater blows hot in the winter.

There aren't many cons to this PT Cruiser. I do not have any regrets, I got it at a great price and I haven't needed any major work done to it. I get oil changes regularly and it treats me well in return. The only con I can think of is that it gets dirty quickly. The color I have is blue and you can see a lot of dirt after it rains and the car looks filthy. Plus I live in Arizona where dirt is everywhere so I guess depending on where you live, you might now have that problem.
