2005 PT Cruiser

I love this car. I knew the first time I saw a PT Cruiser, it was especially made for me. I had one in Hawaii and then when we moved to Arizona, I bought my current 2005 PT Cruiser. It has been great! I love it!

Not impressed.

I’ve had no major problems with the car but it is very uncomfortable riding in it. I definitely would not buy another PT Cruiser.

O Stars

Worst vehicle I have ever owned. Head Gasket oil leak at 30,000 miles, bad crankshaft at 54,000. No car now and walking everywhere at age 60. Thanks Chrysler.

P.T. CRUISER

I love my cruiser, it's completely reliable. I like the way it looks. I never get tired of it and it's a 2005 twelve years old.

I love this car!

What a great little car. Dependable, safe, decent fuel milage, capable of being flat towed, and still a great around-town vehicle. Not bad power for the size of engine.

2005 PT Cruiser

She'll take us anywhere and better yet, she'll be sure to bring us back too. She's dependable, economical, fun to drive, and because she's a standard transmission model, she's flat towable behind our motorhome. She's light weight too, so she's inexpensive to tow. If there's a negative, it's that she is slightly underpowered. Don't get me wrong, she'll do 70 or 75 mph on the freeway easily.

Pt Cruiser

I love my cruiser, even though I've had a sensor go out on it several times making it difficult to drive when it does, but I appreciate the fact it will still drive.

Classy Act to follow

Where I live the PT CRUISER seems to be the go to car and way not. It is sexier than a station wagon although HAS the uses of carry a load laundry moving or whatever it can fit. It is also good on the highway as the scenic roads either way me and my PT CRUISER are cruising ❤ together.

It's a fun little car

We bought our PT as a tow vehicle, but we find it's much more. We use it as an everyday vehicle too. It gets good gas milage, has enough power for a get-around-town vehicle, is fun to drive, and easy to service. If I had anything negative at all to say about it, it would be that the motor mounts are worn and expensive to replace and that running a break-away line through the firewall is a job best reserved for professionals rather than do-it-yourselfers like me.

Favorite Car

This has been the most favorite car I have ever had, From the moment I first saw one on the street, I wanted one. Since I've had it (2005) I have completely enjoyed driving it, and hope to continue as long as possible. It's not perfect, and through the years I have had different problems, but they have always been fixable. What car doesn't have problems??

Love my Cruiser, although upkeep is becoming expensive

This is the most user-friendly, sensibly-designed and fun car. I am bummed that Chrysler no longer makes them.
