Chrysler PT Cruiser Reviews

"White-faced gauges with chrome rings, a one-touch tilt/slide sunroof, power windows, power locks, sliding sun visors, dual power outlets, and a CD/cassette combination sound system all contribute to a strong sense of value."

"Maximum cargo capacity is a cavernous 76 cubic feet and the highly configurable interior allows for 26 different seating/cargo space arrangements."

"Body roll is well-controlled, particularly in view of the relatively high center of gravity."

"The PT Turbo takes the Cruiser's retro styling and adds some sweet touches...a chrome exhaust tip and 17-inch aluminum wheels toughen up the PT's already fetching hot-rod look."

"A quick rap on just about any interior surface will reveal hard plastic where many of today's vehicles feature soft-touch material."

"The PT Cruiser's greatest weakness is found under the hood -- anemic horsepower. An extra 30 horsepower (for a grand total of 180) would go a long way toward making an incredibly fun driving experience more enjoyable."

"Not only does the PT Turbo boast a 65-horse gain over the PT [Cruiser], but torque twists 83 more lb-ft, for a 245 total. Enthusiasts, your pocket retro rocket has arrived."

"The [Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4] offer something the new Chrysler doesn't, that is, four-wheel drive, but the Cruiser beats 'em on capacity, cargo versatility, and style, hands down."

"I like my old cars old and my new cars new."
