Chrysler PT Cruiser

Price Paid:  $13.00 from dollar

Strengths:
none

Weaknesses:
I rented this car. It is by far the worse vehicle I have ever rented. It gets 14mpg in the city. the steering wheel is made for a sailboat. the turning radius sucks. I can not imagine why anyone would buy this vehicle.the whole front end shaked when accelerating and it only had 24k miles on it and it was an 08.

PT LOSER

Year / Model Reviewed:
2007 Convertable Turbo

Strengths:
Top goes up and down easily, controls on the dash, high seats

Weaknesses:
Front end is very very low and if your not carefull, it will scrape, so you need to be carefull going over bumps. I found this the hard way just after two weeks where I scraped the front end zipping out of my driveway too quickly causing over $600 in damages. Not covered under warrenty and I'm pissed at the dealership for not warning me about it. I filed a complaint with Chrysler, waste of time....

Summary:
Sharp little car, nice and roomy for a big guy like myself. Seating lets you ride high. Decent gas mileage if your easy on the gas pedal.

2007 PT Cruiser Convertable

Strengths:
Runs smooth and tight. Very cute..Not as loud as I expected with the top up..Very well insulated. Air conditioning works great. IPOD sounds great thru stereo.

Weaknesses:
Very dissapointing gas mileage. considering its not the turbo thought it would do alot better

Summary:
Very Cute Car. Amazingly roomy inside. Much better than expected. Kids Love it!!
IVery much like the seats, very firm and back is able to stand straight up. I also enjoy the IPOD hookup to the stereo. It sounds so much better using the IPOD or CD player, other than that the stereo is average. So Far so good, except like the others have said the gas mileage is terrible. I also have a 2001 Chrysler Town & Country that get about the same mileage and weighs about 2 times as much.. Very dissapointing about 20-24 MPG

Strengths:
the looks are awesome. That is all Ican say

Weaknesses:
runs like crap, drives like crap.

Summary:
I wasnt going to put a review in but it seems as I read through the review others have the same complaint we do. We have only had the car or only 4-5 months max and we have already had to take it in the shop for problems 2 times now. It seems that it is very sluggish on the start. It acts like it doesnt want to shift and it will go into it harshly or acts like it will quit. And we just got our oil changed last month and now it is low on oil, (not burning or leaking).
All in all, I like the shape and the look. I like the roomyness. But I just got out of a car with oil problems and engine problems with no car payment. I am not happy about getting into a car with the same thing and I am paying ALOT for. I am not at all happy with this car, and really wish they would just buy it back from me. I would rather my old car back. 1997 dodge neon ran better than this does. And personally if I could get ahold of the company, I would tell to take their peice of **** and shove it!!!

2007 PT Cruiser

Strengths:
It rides smooth. It is quiet inside when you are driving. Easy to get in small parking spots. Decent pickup when you accelorate. Decent stereo system. You can carry a LOT of things in this vehicle.

Weaknesses:
Floor heat doesn't blow very strong. Only gets 22 miles to the gallon.

Summary:
I really love this car. It's comfortable, easy to get in and out of, good stereo system. I like the big windshield because it gives me good visibility. I had no trouble fitting a car seat for a 2 year old in the back seat. Plenty of leg room in the front seats. I think this was a very good investment.
