Most reliable car I've owned. Very dependable.

This car does not disapoint. Tremendous legroom and trunk. I was able to fit an entire drum set with no problem, I also fit 2 bikes. the back seats are so easy to remove & put back in.

First Car I've Owned, Never Ending Problems.

The vehicle at first was doing well, there was some understeer, the accelerating pedal wasn't as responsive as desired, and there was so many problems. First it was the battery, we thought it might have just been dying battery, but even after replacing it with a brand new one, the problems still occurred. Then it was tire problems, hoses, and regular wear, but it was just so overwhelming.

Drive around town car

Excellent value, and good gas mileage are the main reasons I purchased this vehicle. It meets all the criteria for getting to work and driving the kids, I haven't taken the car on the freeway yet.

Cruising' is about right

It's what the car is about. For the size and price, it's a great car. The seat comfort is way above average, even on trips. OK, it's not fast, it handles well, but it's no Ferrari. But you're crusin', that's it. And you're not stiff when you get there. That's pretty good for a car this size.

the car I wanted to buy

for a PT crusier it is a great car to buy 1,gas saver 2, runs great 3,small, but can pack a lot. far as i know a lot of people don't want little cars, because they are to small, and not enough room for them to move around.

Stand-out design

Fun to drive, lots of options for those who want to customize. Always draws comments from people...Many invites from pt clubs to join. Good for small family or a first car. Most of these, if taken care of, will go 150000 miles or more.

Totally satisfied! Will shop here again!

Found my dream car through cars.com at Edwards Bargain Center in Council Bluffs, IA! When we arrived last February 2016 we found out to boot it was a convertible with only 67,000 miles on it. Love, love love this car. Only had routine maintenance work for repairs to boot! Came all the way from the Fort Dodge, IA area to purchase this vehicle!! Am extremely happy with my little car. Even drove home from Milwaukee, WI with the car's top down. It's a blast to own this little dream package of a deal.
