I love this car

My 2001 PT Cruiser that I bought used has provided me over 100,000 miles of mostly reliable, comfortable service. I don’t understand why Chrysler discontinued making them. I wish I could have bought a new one the last year they were made….it would have lasted me the rest of my life. Jackie Moore 10/28/2022

Still love my PT Cruiser

I bought my Cruiser 20 years ago and I still love it. It's a shame that they are no longer being made because it's so unique and adorable. It is also surprisingly roomy for it's size with lots of head room and leg room.

I love my PT Cruiser

I Love my PT Cruiser, it reminds me of my first car...1971 VW Bug..:) The only thing is that I don’t care for where the window buttons are, & my hatch latch plate broke off..I think they should’ve been made out of metal or better materials.... But I love how it goes in the snow, the great gas mileage!

2001 PT Cruiser

I really like my car. It's getting older now. I. have lot of millage on it, but I'm still able to get from point A to point B. It's very comfortable to drive. I'm really hoping I can enjoy my car a bit longer with proper care

Thank goodness for the previous owner keeping stellar care of the vehicle.

Since purchasing this vehicle I have had to invest approximately $2000 for several incidents of break down. If you own a PT Cruiser or are looking to purchase one, make certain you have a good mechanic!

A gem among a lot of lemons

I have been blessed. This vehicle, with such a bad reputation has turned out to be great. I have had it for over 18 years. If we keep the maintenance that it asks for we will get the results we expect. I am looking forward to many more years of excellent service IF I KEEP UP WITH THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE.

GOOD RIDDANCE TO A TRUE PIECE OF GARBAGE

Worst purchase of my life. This car has been nothing but trouble. So glad I have finally gotten rid of it. This car is a true money pit. So many things went wrong with it over the course of my ownership.

Meh

I'm not a fan of pt cruiser but it gets me to where I need to be.. some parts are a pain to get to and replace. It's a fun little car if I didn't have so many problems on replacing parts alot of the times I have to take it to a shop because my boyfriend can't get to it himself

Earl and his crew

I have 2 vehicles that i bought new. one in 2000 and one in 2001. They are still in perfect running order after E & B Auto and the crew have taken the care of them that they have. I trust these folks to do right by me and they have, especially since I am a woman. It's a great feeling to know I can trust someone with the vehicles I have had for so long and will continue to have for many years to come, thanks to Earl and the crew.

A practical, cute, reliable vehicle

18 years now, and still with the original exhaust, alternator, fuel injection, fuel pump, shocks, struts, fan, serp belt and who-knows-what-else. The original battery lasted 12 years. The timing belt and water pump were replaced only for maintenance. Main repairs have been electrical in nature. The best car (of 34) I've had. Seating position, visibility, road handling and comfort all excellent. Very practical, with the folding & removable seats. Mileage are adequate. The only time I could have used more power was in the West Virginia mountains.

Realiable, better than you think.

Too bad they don't make them anymore. They didn't sell enough millions of them, so ... Our three PTs over time have been solid, reliable and durable. Far more space than you'd think inside for trips to Lowe's or Home Depot, or traveling with Christmas presents and luggage. Only negatives ... all three have had electrical quirks that have been only annoying at times (inside light burn out, radio illumination vanishes now and then in one car.) But there has been one serious concern that I will look out for in future vehicle purchases. The timing belt is rubber, not a chain. Next time you buy a car, ask about timing belt replacement cost. When it finally goes, it's expensive. I'll try to find a car with a timing chain and avoid that cost.

This is one of the most amazing cars I have ever owned!

Comfortable, roomy five speed standard with 4 cylinder work horse engine that gets great mileage. I have a curt pull hitch package on the rear and often tow my Apache Pop Up Trailer or utility trailer with ease. Chrysler made a great , versatile vehicle in a decent price range for the average income American Family when they produced this one !

I love my car

I love my PT Cruiser!! I have plenty of room in the back for when I attend health fairs and have a lot of things to carry. The seats are very easy to put down for more storage. I love how it sits, the fact that the driver seat raises and the back is adjustable is a big plus for me.

Love my PT Cruiser

I bought it new in 2001 because I just had to have this charming car with its unique old-fashioned body style. I still love it and am disappointed that Chrysler is no longer making them so I will drive it as long as it keeps running.

Surprisingly Able

Too many people I suppose just never got it. You can't believe how handy the cars have been. I'd buy a new one if one existed.

Love this car!!!

I've had this Pt Cruiser "Petie" for 16 years now and hope to keep him for as long as I can. Seeing how they discontinued them I have to keep him going because I would not want to drive anything else. Best car ever!!!

Chrysler hit a home run with the P.T. Cruiser

Chrysler hit a home run with the P.T. Cruiser; sadly my vehicle is getting older and I don't think the P. T. Cruiser is still being made. In the meantime if your car needs servicing and you live near Branson, MO you can get B.A.T. Boys to keep it on the road. My P.T. cruiser has been there 2 times and B.A.T. Boys did a great job fixing it. I hope Chrysler comes out with a similar car to the P.T.

300,000 miles, and there's never been a bolt turned on the engine or transmission, other than regular service interval items!!!
