Chrysler PT Cruiser 2001

4 star review

I bought my PT Cruiser second hand in January 2007 and I love it! I’ve had no problems whatsoever and in winter it starts first time in temperatures of zero and below. Its so roomy - great for moving house. You get used to the wide turning circle and the fuel consumption is about 30-33mph, {just don’t go into fifth gear and slow down if you worry about petrol consumption}. I love the roominess inside and the space in the boot, if I take the back seats out, then I have a van. I hope this car lasts forever!

5 star review

Always wanted this car as I think all modern cars have boring styling. Needless to say I like classic cars! I bought my car in 2003 and have had no problems with it breaking down etc but as it is 8 years old it was time for a new cam belt and while this was being done the water pump and power steering pipe were found to have seepage marks so I replaced these as well. I had noticed this year that when indicating right sometimes the fog lights would activate for the duration the indicator was on and knew that was a faulty multifunction indicator switch which costs about £70 plus labour so got this done as well. Was surprised at some of the comments about the car being slow, the name PT Cruiser points to its intended use, so yup, its no fireball but I have no problems as I am in no great hurry.... I get 40 mpg on an all motorway cruise down to my mums and reasonable (for the design age of the engine) fuel return about town where I am in no hurry to catch up with the next traffic jam. That said, the 2.4 litre or diesel are a lot better for midrange but were out of my pocket’s reach in 2003. The Auto box should be avoided as that is a very old design and thus inefficient on fuel. Never had a problem with the turning circle as I am that cheeky sod who uses your drive way to about turn!! Here is to many happy cruising years to come.

Slow, sluggish. That’s just to start. The gearbox is mounted slightly of centre so 1st gear would be where reverse is and second is where first would be. It is noisy and it sounds like you have to over rev to pull away. It has a large turning circle. It is also not good on fuel, around 25-30 mpg. The acceleration is about 0-60 in 1hour. My great Nan could push a full shopping trolley up hill in flippers faster. This is a well over priced car.
