Vehicle Summary

Chrysler has reorganized the PT Cruiser's trim levels for 2008, and the 230-horsepower, turbocharged GT model is no longer offered. Trim levels now include a base LX, mid-level Touring and top-level Limited. The Cruiser has relied on innumerable special editions, turbocharged and convertible variants and a belated nip-and-tuck to stay competitive against such models as the Chevrolet HHR and Mazda3 hatchback.   Read more
