2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser Real Gas Mileage: 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? see full Chrysler PT Cruiser review
2006 2dr Convertible turbocharged 230hp 2.4L I4
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 One would expect to get much better mileage from a car this size, however 17 city/23 highway is what I actually get. see full Chrysler PT Cruiser review
2005 4dr Wagon 150-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Manual transmission with standard 4 cylender engine averages 25 mpg. Power is just adequate. see full Chrysler PT Cruiser review
2004 4dr Wagon 150-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Poorer than I expected, not much better than my Porsche! see full Chrysler PT Cruiser review
