Pros: Stylish. Comfortable. Unique. Good Gas Mileage Cons: 8 month waiting list. Price Gouging.
The first time I saw the new 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser, my head instinctively turned. The car was sleek, attractive, and appeared to be built for speed. The first car that entered my mind was the Plymouth Prowler, which had a sticker price hovering...

Pros: Very nostalgic looking/Price Cons: Hard to work on/int. color choices/waiting time/deposit
If you are looking for a vehicle with a Nostalgic look, then this is the one for you. This vehicle has the look of a 1999 Chrysler Prowler, and a 1937 Ford Slant Back Sedan, and a 1950's Olds Woody. When I first saw this car I was driving...

Pros: Really neat looking car, great gas mileage. Cons: It is just a four cylinder. The Bottom Line: While this car looks really hot and gets great gas mileage, for those of us how grew up in the muscle car era, it is a bit disappointing.
My parents picked up their Chrysler PT Cruiser just a little over three weeks ago. Mom is in heaven, she can't go anywhere without someone stopping to talk to her about her car and to get a little tour. First though I have to explain to you about my ...

Pros: snazzy retro styling cures the ho-hum blues brought on by most current cars Cons: typical Daimler-Chrysler quality control and engineering The Bottom Line: DaimlerChrysler cleverly disguised this station wagon as a concept car. Fun to drive, but chintzy construction should be a warning -- be prepared to dump this baby in 50K miles.
Smalltown, USA, 1948: Me an' my best chum Danny is hangin' out down to Brophy's malt shop at the corner of 3rd and Main, watchin' the chicks sittin' in the back booth, when we sees this snazzy new set of wheels go cruisin' by on Main. Well,...

Pros: Uniqueness and style. Very handsome interior. Cons: Could use more power. The Bottom Line: A good value for the money spent even looking beyond the impish styling!
What a CUTE little car kind of a cross between a SUV and a car. Wonder who the parents were? It’s about time that a car manufacturer started thinking about unique and style again. Ever get bored and watch the cars go by on the freeway and come to the...

Pros: 1940's Styling Cons: 1940's Engineering
It's Sunday afternoon; what's that crowd in front of the Mopar dealer? Pulling out of Wal Mart and stopping in, I found behind the mob of people the dealerships first PT Cruiser. Looking at this car, there's no way not to love it. The engineers...

Pros: If there was ever a "Passenger Utility Vehicle" this is it. Gorgeous, nostalgic styling. Cons: Ya either love it or you hate it - hard to feel neutral about this car. Acceleration is disappointing.
Yes, there's a reason I've been holding back on dumping new-car bucks on a small SUV or pickup, which were my choices prior to learning about the PT Cruiser. With this car, Chrysler shows once again that they have no problem with turning a concept...

Pros: One of a kind styling. Impressive to young and old alike. Cons: Not impressive suspension.
O.K. I've given them enough time to build a reputation now, and I think it's time to do a review on the Chrysler P.T. Cruiser suspension. First off there has been a whole lot of noise spoken saying "The P.T.Cruiser is nothing but a Neon...

Pros: Price, Interior Room/ Versatility, The "Fun Factor" Cons: Smallish Exterior, Needs a Turbocharger
I first saw the Chrysler PT Cruiser at an Auto Show last winter. I was anxious to see it because I had already, even by that time, read so much about it. Give Chrysler’s publicity people credit – they’ve gotten a billion dollars worth of free press for...

Pros: good looking Cons: no power, blind spots galore
I am not really in the market for a new car at this time; however, I have noticed the new PT Cruiser a lot lately and felt that I might want to give this attractive new car a test drive. I headed over to my local dealership and found, amazingly to me,...

Recently I was in California for my wife's sister's wedding. We had planned this trip for a while and had pre-booked and prepaid everything. Things didn't always go as we planned but overall it was a fun trip. (Fun trip = spending more money than you...

Pros: Way-cool styling, lots of cargo space, great shifter knob, interesting, head-turner Cons: NEEDS MORE POWER!!! Also needs better seats, better interior plastics, and a better company to build it.

Moments of inspiration often lead to creative products. And hey… whaddya know? Our friends over at DaimlerChrysler have done it again. There seems to be no stopping these guys, as they just keep churning out stunning...

Pros: Great design inside and out, terrific standard features, reasonable price. Cons: Limited trunk space if you have rear passengers.
No, I do not own a PT, but I am deeply considering getting one, so you'd better believe I've been doing my research! The following are my thoughts based on the one time I sat in one and played with all of the neat buttons and features.

Pros: Looks great Cons: car not available yet
The Chrysler PT Cruiser is one of those cars you expect to see right out a gangster movie minus the bright yellow color. The PT Cruiser was first released at the 1999 Detroit Auto Show as a concept car. However, as car enthusiasts know, many of...

Pros: Great Styling, Roomy Interior, Loads of Storage Space, Aggressive Pricing Cons: Auto Trans performance, cheap interior materials, paint flaws, sloppy handling
I had the opportunity to test drive a PT Cruiser at my local Chrysler dealer last weekend. I was told there is a 6 month waiting list and there are absolutely no price negotiation on this vehicle. I wanted to take a look at the PT Cruiser since I have...
