| 2002 | 4dr Wagon 150-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
I bought this cruister pre-owned, it now has 107,000+ miles, and have yet (knock on wood) to put any major money or repairs into it. I driver my vehicles pretty hard, amditedly. full 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser review |

| 2006 | 2dr Convertible turbocharged 230hp 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Considering that I'm nearing 150,000 miles on a 7 year old Chrysler, it's safe to say that I've loved my PT for a long time. But it's looking more and more like I'm near the end. I now have the highest milage PT at my dealership. What do I love about the PT GT Convertible? I love the style. The comfort of driving this car for hundreds of miles at a time. Plenty of passenger room. What don't I love? The milage: The range is roughly 300 miles highway. With a 15 gallon tank, I was expecting better. The turning radius: There is no such thing as a 3-point turn in a 2006 PT. Inconceivably large turning circle. One may as well be driving a motor home when considering a U-turn. Never understood that. Every PT owner feels that pain. The Daimler electrical system: Chrysler inherited the nightmare from them. full 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser review |
