2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser consumer reviews

I bought this 03 gt turbo hoping for the best and its turned into a neon nightmare. Yes this is an example of why Chrysler is no more

Mine was a fantastic car, downside no power poor gas mileage, but l didnt need it to do either, l only had to do regular maintenance oil changes brakes and rear shocks, its a xxxxx if you have to do nearly anything in engine compartment. 180,000 miles and a pump in transmission went, l donated it

I just love the PT. I've owned 4 and I find it a great fit for me. Comfortable and enough room for everything. Reliable and safe.

NO STYLE !! ALL PROBLEMS !! WHEEL BEARING, TIE ROD END ,ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND BRAKES OTHER THAN THAT ITS A PIECE OF JUNK OH YAH ITS A RUST BUCKET ALSO !!!!

This car is designed to be able to transport a family of four along with all their luggage, and also to convert to transport a lot of cargo. The flexible design of the interior is the car's biggest selling point. All in all, it is reliable and easy to drive.

Only had for acouple weeks and the fuel pump went out. Outside of that it works great and gets me to and from locations, the exterior style really grows on you. Love it.

Unlike any other car in the parking lot. Interior is very space efficient. Easy to enter and exit. Zippy. Purchased my base model manual 5 speed used in June 2019 with 29k miles. These cars get a bad rap because people don't care for them properly. The PTC was designed with the help of Daimler [as in Daimler Benz]. Mechanically they have a European character. They need proper maintenance which is why the average Joe and Jane shouldn't own one. Example: the owner's manual is very specific about using HOAT coolant. The average corner mechanic doesn't care and will tell you it doesn't matter. But with plastic, aluminium, cast iron and brass parts in the cooling system IT MATTERS! Same with engine oil. Follow the manual! And who ever flushes their power steering fluid or changes transmission fluid? Bingo - these cars require strict attention to this maintenance. It's turning radius is about the same as my wife's 2011 Prius. The PTC has a better ride and as a 5 speed is more fun to drive. I have owned Lexus V8's, purchased a new BMW 3 series 5 speed and 5 series automatic, new and used MBenz's but my PTC is more fun than any of them. With low mileage, my suspension is still tight and the ride is very good. You sit high. If you have one or get one, find a Chrysler dealer with a mechanic old enough to know this car. The engine compartment is tight which frustrates the average mechanic. To improve the ride on a high mileage PTC, change the front sway bar bushing using OEM rubber. Add the rear sway bar from a recycle yard. Sway bar was tandard in 2001-2002 and deleted in 2003+ to save $$ as was the second horn, cabin air filter and engine dress-up cover. Use OEM Mopar parts and the PTC will be a reliable and fun car. Heed the recommendation to replace the timing belt and due to labor, water pump, at 100k miles. Lots of Youtube videos for the do-it-yourselfer.

The car has plenty of leg room front and back interior exterior good condition seats fold down to give you lots of extra room great gas mileage

THIS CAR WAS BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT BUT A NIGHTMARE TO HAVE! I ONLY DROVE IT HOME. IT DOESN'T WORK!! I AM VERY DISSAPOINTED, DEPRESSED, AND HEART BROKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This car is nothing but problems. Drives horribly, and I was constantly repairing this vehicle and after speaking with others and checking the reviews, I realized this is a junket. Don’t bother buying one
