Chrysler PT Cruiser Street Cruiser 2.0 Auto 2002

5 star review

Absolutely love the PT Cruiser. So much so that I have 2 of them. First one was bought last year a 2001 Ltd Edition Manual. Has now been fully customised with all the chrome extras. And recently bought the Ltd Edition Street Cruiser in Inca Gold. which is Auto/Tiptronic. Going to leave this one as original as it doesnt need anything adding. As far as fuel goes I dont think its bad. I get slightly better from the 2001, around 28-30 and the auto does about 25-28. Turning circle - again doesn’t really bother me as I learnt to do 3 point turns (or sometimes 5 lol). My main faults on both cars are nothing more than suspension bushes. Both the cars knocked below on our lovely uneven British roads. Having said that suspension parts are really cheap and I replaced them with polyurethane ones on both cars. Now there is no noise.

Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.0 Limited Manual 2002

5 star review

I bought my 2002 Cruiser a week ago. All these reviews seem to mention the only 2 faults I have found, fuel consumption & turning circle. However, I think both are to be expected with a car that was built with the American market largely in mind. Other than that it is the best car I have ever owned, including being better than my 2006 VW Passat or 2004 Renault Espace, both of which were in the garage around 5 times each with various problems. The Cruiser looks great & is roomy & comfortable. When I was shopping around there were plenty that had done in excess of 120K which seems positive for the longevity of these cars. As for the various mechanical faults mentioned, I can speak from experience; VW’s & Renault ’s suffer expensive faults with fairly new cars too. I’d recommend a PT Cruiser to anyone. 5 Stars, they are fantastic.

Mine has been without a doubt the worst car I have ever owned. After 1 month the slave cylinder in the clutch failed - not a major problem you might say but it was because it is fitted inside the gearbox!! Two weeks later the fuel pump failed costing over £900 to replace. After getting the car back the new fuel pump leaked and within two hours the car was back in the garage again. Got it back two weeks later... another fuel leak developed had to be recovered by RAC. Agree with other comments it has the turning circle of a battleship - maybe not such an issue in America but on our roads renders the car awkward to drive. It’s a shame because despite the above I love the look of the car, the comfort etc, but for an everyday vehicle it is just not a viable option unless you have a spare car and very deep pockets.

Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.0 manual 2002

4 star review

Purchased my "Silver Pearlescent with colour coded bumpers!" five weeks ago. So far, for the price I paid, I have no real issues; although I do agree the turning circle is pretty poor. However, comfort, space and style make up for its short- comings. Mine is a 2002 2.0 manual, any hints on deceleration when changing gear?

Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.0 ltd auto 2002

4 star review

Great car. Bit like marmite, you either love it or hate it. Plenty of room in the back (for three adults) as well as the front. Owned ours for 3 years without much problem. Spares prices variable. Turning circle awful. Fuel consumption awful. Looks priceless!
