2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Fuel Economy: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2006 4dr Wagon 150-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Very good. My personal commuter.
2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Fuel Economy: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2006 4dr Wagon 150-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 This thing had a 4 cylinder but sucked fuel like a big V-6 or larger. Is this the result of cinder-block like aerodynamics?
