Overall I really enjoy my car. It is a good size and is really good on gas. It doesn't have four wheel drive and does not always speed up as quickly as I would like it to especially when driving on highways. Overall though for my first car it's great!

They are nice smaller cars. Good for first cars.
Bad in snow and rain, it slides. A lot of mechanical problems with pt.'s cruisers. The air conditioner goes out in most pts.

Great retro station wagon body style with millennial upgrade.
Good for small families and great on gas, but the downside is when it comes to repairs engine compartment does not have enough moving room to replace parts. Turn radius on the vehicle is terrible and it's not great on inclines. But it gets good highway miles.

The turning radius on the PT Cruiser is not easy. You have to really put effort into it when trying to do a u-turn. Definitely a drawback for our car.
We bought our PT Cruiser when it was only a year old. While I find the car to be roomy for driver and passengers it doesn't quite provide enough storage. It also only gets about 14-16 MPG for gas.

It is amazing and a great family car.
I love how it does on gas. I love that it is more spacious than it looks. I don't have any dislikes.

Good on gas, and not hard to drive and drives smooth.
At first it had problems now it drives great, interior looks great and drives smooth, good on gas and gets you where you need.

The cabin layout is nice. Easy to access controls (radio, cruise, etc. ).
The Chrysler pt. Cruiser has great cargo space, but lacks power. My particular model is the base model and has no bells or whistles. I would be happier with this vehicle if it came in a 6 cylinder model.

Smooth ride, drives like a truck.
I love my car, and I wish it was still being made. I have the 2009 touring edition. It is such a smooth riding car, but I wish the wheel turned a little harder. It drives like a Dodge truck, but that is all I know! It is a great car, and I will probably run it until it falls apart!

Shitty car, don't purchase
Always has electrical problems, the catalytic converter had to be removed and even after changing all plugs and wires and oil/transmission fluid and filters changed it is still running poorly. The wiring harness in the tail lights got too hot and melted, literally almost any electrical problem possible has happened and has kept me from using this vehicle more than I've been able to use it in the past year

PT Cruisers tend to get a bad rap for whatever reason, but it actually is a pretty reliable and good car, especially compared to others out there.
I have always wanted a PT Cruiser and my current car is my second Cruiser. It gets decent gas mileage and actually has a quite a bit of space, which is useful since I tend to move regularly. I did learn within the last year or so that the design of the car makes checking under the hood/around the engine difficult, and I have been having tire issues with it, but overall I love my car.

It gets good gas mileage. And it has lots of lag room in the front 2 seats.
I like the gas mileage. I like the way it looks. I like how it ride. I like the lag rooms like the color of it..

My dream car is the best ride ever. I have a model of the car and I cherish.
My vehicle is the best on gas on mileage and we have plenty of trunk space and room in the car. I love the color of the vehicle. The tires are great on tread. The price was right. And the maintenance. This is the best car and it's just right for my family.

It is probably the best car you can get and it is well made and put together.
The vehicle runs smoothly it has Bluetooth speakers, where you can play music, and make calls without picking up your phone. This vehicle runs with a hemi-engine and has little issues running.

It will beep if you don't close or open the hatch correctly.
I like that the seating is comfortable. The car is spacious. The car does beep sometimes depending how you open the hatch.

All around good car
Have a 2009, white automatic with no cruise control or Turbo, bought at 70k now 90k in 2019. MPG is 21 to 26, average is 22. Regular Unleaded . Highway and urban driving characteristics are normal to good to me and driving stability quite adequate. No turbo but to boost it has a helpful passing gear. Will take hwy driving whether freeway in city or cross country. Driving is comfortable around town. See for yourself the safety. Had my automatic PT 70 to 90,000 miles and reliability is strong, no major repairs (but see timing belt requirement coming up, $800?) Interior works for me at exactly normal adult male size in USA. Fond of retro dash, fitting with the exterior style, reminds me of late 40's Pontiac. Keep mine shiny, no exterior flaws, cheap and helpful to replace classic PT wheel covers. Don't have ABS, skired me pants off one time, so keep in mind if no ABS. VALUE: complaint about it depreciating quickly is false alarm to value situation. To my advantage I twice have bought a USED PT and it's already cheap. That was to my advantage personally. From there, it keeps a normal range of depreciation so I don’t lose money. It's Sept 2019 and you can buy a used PT as a real bargain if you are diligent, and have a fun, easy driving, useful small family vehicle easy on mon and dad, that can be reliable if not run down. Lower the mileage on car the better deal you are getting. Check yer Edmunds and Better Blue Book. Peace

Analog clock in the PT Cruiser.
This car gets me from place to place. However it is not a good winter car and living in northern Minnesota that's important. The windows are hard to defrost. The car also is shaped like a wind sail and is easily manipulated on the road by the wind. For being a small car I feel like there's a lot of space. The backseat is uncomfortable I am told. But I enjoy the driver's seat. Also who puts an analog clock in a car?

PT Cruisers are decent cars that will get you from point A to point B. That's about it
I bought my car because my previous car needed to be replaced and the price on this car was right. I don't like the color (white). I'm not crazy about the design. The engine is small and doesn't pick up well. It's not the most reliable car either. I can't wait til I get to replace it with something new.
Alexander S

It has great interior and great size for a small family.
At first the starter and clutch weren't working but we got them finished and it works like a charm, it is got great interior and enough room for amount of people and it is easy on gas and it is easy to drive and gets us where we need to go plus and it is great in size we love it hopefully it do not break down.

It drives like a dream. Has both front and rear wipers with rear defroster
I fell in love with the PT Cruiser. It's not too big or too small. Has a hatchback and fold down seats for more carry space

The p. T cruiser is a cute car but a bruiser to drive.
This car has been a problem since the first month we bought it. The tire rod has snapped. The lights in the car have needed replaced multiple times, I wish someone would have told me the car was discontinued for technical issues. Size wise its roomy but compact. I live in the city and can park it almost anywhere.
Brian P

Very roomy, but not as good on gas as you'd think it should be.
I like that it is very roomy inside to haul things. I dislike that so many things go wrong with it and that it is bad on gas.

There is plenty of leg room and it rides comfortably. It's easy to get into and out of.

My pt cruiser is the best
It's a really good car. I have had problems with the door handles and the air conditioner but overall I'm veto satisfied. It's got a lot of room in the trunk especially when the back seat it down. It's ratio to vacuum out and the stock sound system is pretty loud. I've had two flat tires but they were easy to change. And I haven't had any problems with the engine
Dee T

It is roomy and handles great.
Handles well, plenty of room for all my grandchildren while still the feel of a small vehicle. Good gas mileage. It is a standard transmission so stop-and-go city driving is a pain.

2009 Pt Cruiser review and comments
This is a very reliable vehicle. It has comfortable seating, nice AC, and is good on gas. It is a great family car and travels long distances with no problems. The car has a good clearance from the ground. The speakers produce great sound. I highly recommend this vehicle.

The maintenance to keep it running is minimal, there are no major issues. Cruise control works easily and well. Gas mileage is wonderful when traveling.
It never has any problems. Runs smoothly, the gas mileage is wonderful, maintenance is easy and affordable.

Automatic, it overheats, ac works sometimes and I think there are computer issue.
It gets me from point a to point b. It overheats all the time, I have to constantly put water and coolant in it to drive. The transmission is almost blown. It sounds like a manual like it is not switching gears.

My pt cruiser is gangster.
This is my second pt cruiser, the first one had electrical problems, but I wanted another one, because of the roominess. It will sit 5. It sits a little higher up, which I like. I also like that the steering wheel will adjust up, pretty high, which gives you more leg room.
Desi D
on August 31, 2019
I absolutely love that even though my car is small, it is still spacious.
The car sits really low to the ground so the front bumper will catch from time to time. Also after 100, 000 miles, the car does not always accelerate like it should. I have had to make repairs to the wheel bearings twice. The termostat of the car has only gone out once and the check engine light has only come on twice in the 4 years I have had this car.
Donald B

That it gets good gas mileage.and there will like all the legroom in the front
I like the gas mileage,I also like all the leg room in the front seat.i don't like the back seat for there are no room.

2009 Chrysler PT cruiser (grey) 4 door
Some electrical problems such as odometer does not read correctly and does not indicate when oil is low, but oil pressure sensor does read correctly. Drives very well, ac works well, radio works well, interior of the car has been kept clean and tear free. Currently 30$ of gas will fill the tank for 3-4 days or week depending on how far you are traveling and how often.
Jan B

It is a great car, good gas mileage, accelerated quickly. Great braking system.
I like the way it drives. It gets good gas mileage. The tires lose air too often. The interior is falling apart.

I love the color of my PT Cruiser.
When I first bought my car, I had a problem with the dash and gas pedal. Every now and then, the dash would lose power and I wouldn't be able to accelerate.

Very old fashioned rider.
My PT Cruiser above anything else has a smooth ride. It is reliable, there hasn't been many problems. Owned it for 6 months, it has only had a small battery issue that was affordable to fix. It's style inside is simple and easy to use. The only odd thing about it would be the location of the window controls which are in the middle dash instead of the door panel.
Daniel P

White 2009 Chrysler pt cruiser touring edition.
Drives really slow, has no get up and go at all, has 155, 000 miles, vibrates really bad the entire time your behind the wheel from the time you crank it up, there is a loud popping noise coming from the front passenger wheel, there is a continuous clicking nice like a loose wire in my steering wheel, my alarm will just randomly go off at times and I have no button to stop the blaring, you have to be extremely careful not to drag every time you hit a bump, the driver side mirror is shattered, something is always going bad with this car, the only cool thing about this car is that the back seats come completely out and it is actually rather easy and quick.

The heater works. And the blinkers.
The child safety locks do not work, never have, the car overheats if I run the air conditioner at stop lights, it randomly decides to die while i'm driving and i have to restart. It also randomly also decides to start wobbling and sputtering while driving.
Irene B
on March 20, 2019
Again the seats can be lowered or even removed.
The cam sensor had to be replaced twice. And one other censer has had to be replaced. Other than that it has been reliable. There is not a lot of get up and go. How ever I do not really need it. I love the Bluetooth and the ease to get into the car. I love that I can put the back seats down or even remove them if I need. I like that there is not a big blind spot. I love the color. Surf blue.
Tiffany M

A small but roomy car with lots of electrical problem.
It wasn't the perfect size for living in the city. Small but yet roomy inside. With that said I have had to put it in the shop so many times. The starter, the lights away blow, and the door will not open with the windows down. I would definitely research thoroughly before make that purchase.

Maintenance to keep it running. Keep it clean inside and out insurance inspection.

They run rougher than other cars but they do have their benefits.
PT Cruisers just do not seem to run as good as other vehicles. They kind of run rough and it seems like I need to get it fixed more often than previous vehicle. I really like how large it is. You can fit a surprising amount of stuff in a PT Cruiser, really almost as much as you could in a SUV.
Debra L
on December 23, 2018
Ok but could be better. Overall it is good on gas
The vehicle overall drives well for buying it second hand. Horn doesn't work and am having a hard time finding a solution on how to fix it. The trunk is locked and am having trouble getting it unlocked. But she drives very well. I love the fold down and removable seats. I don't care for the position of the side mirrors, first because they are manual and the position allows for each passenger to move my preset position. So constantly putting it back in the right spot to see for my driving convenience. I don't appreciate having one opening point for key control getting in the vehicle and no key place to open the trunk manually.

One of the most important things about my car is that it is economical to drive it.
My PT Cruiser is green. And it is an oldie but goody. I like it because it's good with gas mileage. It's a small car but not a tiny car. I also like the trunk space.

Love car! You will love riding and driving!
I have had no problems mechanically. Very cozy, nice ride, right size, good on gas very reliable and always know no engine problems. No on road so I like sanding our. Good on long road trips. Adjustable seas good since I am small rear window wiper great in rain!
