Pt cruiser the cruisers dream.

My pt cruiser, is my dream car. It is extremely adaptable. The back seats can be removed. It holds a lot of cargo. I have moved in it twice. It is very roomy for carrying passengers as well. It has plenty of head and leg room. The sleek look is very fashionable. The chrome accents make it look very posh. The cruiser is very fuel efficient. When traveling it does not seem like a 4 cylinder vehicle.

Pt cruiser built for great gas mileage and owner comfortability!

Smooth ride with low profile tires, over 23 miles to the gallon in town and 30 on highway. Great running air conditioning and soft plush seating in the front and rear. Stadium seating in rear allows max relaxation. Only issues I have encountered are with the transmission.

The ease of getting in and out of the car as well as the comfort of riding in it.

I like the comfort of riding in the car and driving it. I also like the gas mileage it gets. The capacity is great

Heidi P

Is very different and since we bored it new we have no problems

Very good to drive, good on Gas and is a different style and very compact

Ruby L

Right size for around town

Good little car, gets me where I need to go, small so fits in parking spaces, not bad on gas, good for grocery shopping and if I need to pick up something large I can remove the back seats and it is like a van.

What an amazing car this 2010 pt cruiser is.

My pt cruiser has been great. I have had to get the starter fixed and also the shifter cable. Luckily hasn't had any major problems. I'drives amazing I am always on the freeway or state roads. The back seat is slightly small but can fit 2 people comfortable.

It is a small car but holds a lot of cargo

Even though this car is small it holds a lot of gear. The seat fold down, tip forward, or come out and it suits my cargo needs. It is also very unique and that suits me. It is also a nice car to drive

Roger R

It is much more roomy and comfortable than one would realize!

I love the styling, comfort and reliability. I have had no major mechanical issues since I bought it new in 2010. I am so sorry that Chrysler chose to end the making of the PT Cruiser!

Chrysler pt cruiser classic wagon.

Not performance very well, I have lost many for repairing it, otherwise I like it, nowadays it does not give good mileages also, that is why I hate it so much. Sometimes it stopped on road and it makes me fool. I could not attained my office on time. I have lost an important meeting because of it..

2010 PT Cruiser great on gas

Great running car. Great on gas and very economical. Never have had to replace brakes. Does not use much gas.

Pt cruiser review good & bad.

The pt cruiser is a good car for going from point a to point b. It isn't comfortable for long distance travel. It claims it is a 5 passenger vehicle but that is only true if you weigh 100 pounds. Gas mileage Is Decent. Pretty easy to do basic repair work so you don't have to always run to the mechanic shop.

Really K

Big on the inside, small n the outside.

It is great. It has lots of cargo room. I can haul almost anything in this car. It also has good passenger room. Full sized adults can sit in the back seats. It has 4 doors so it is easy for the back seat passengers to get in and out. But it is small and easy to park.

Moderately used silver pt cruiser, not the flashiest car but it'll do.

Ac went out a few years ago, has had some battery issues, relatively reliable otherwise. I have not put heavy wear and tear on car though. Trunk hatch doesn't always latch properly. Car is roomy enough for a 4 person family with young kids but we will have to upgrade in size as they get older.

Constance R

There is nothing really interesting about my car.

My vehicle is rebuilt by a shotty mechanic. The car has a seat belt not working properly, the a/c does not work well in Texas heat, the car jerks, the trunk opens when it wants to not when I want it to, the cigarette lighters do not work. The doors get stuck.

Control arms, tires and rims.

I have problems with tires and have had to do a lot of work on them. Tomorrow I am putting 4 tires and rims on it. The cost is difficult to handle. I have babied this car but still never know what will go next. I put 2 tires on it in Dec 2018 but because I couldn't repair everything I ended up destroying them and now have to buy 4 new tires.

My ratings of a pt cruiser.

Hi I have blue pt cruiser love the style 4 door it's a good car very reliable. Mileage is good. Runs great. The only thing I don't like is to get in the trunk you have to get out of vehicle. Has great radio the air and heat are awesome has rear wipers.

Lisa R on April 4, 2021

Love that the rear seat folds way down so like a station wagon if needed.

Overheats only complaint. Positive I love driving this car. Its sporty and reliable. Love the cream color. I love this brand car. It's super comfy and leg room all the way around. Husband is 6 foot never rode in back seat until recently and he was comfortable.
