The PT Cruiser was a phenomenon even before it came out. With retro styling and "Tall Car" 4 dr., hatchback practicality and rear seats that can fold up or be taken out completely, it filled many needs... a 5 passenger people hauler or cavernous mini-van. The sculpted, flared wheel wells sets it apart from any other shortish "Tall Car." There are many PT Cruiser Clubs around the country and parts are easy to come by since so many PT Cruisers are still on the road. The Limited comes with heated leather seats, a moon roof, tinted windows, roof rack. Gas milage comes in at 20 mpg. It has a 15 gallon tank that will ask to be filled every 280 miles. Only a handful of times have I push past 300 miles before refueling. In twelve years it's never left me stranded except for a dead battery... highly dependable :-)

Bought my 2002 for $21k in Jan 2003 and enjoyed it for ten trouble free years and 104k miles. Only major repair was for cooling fan that seems to blow its fuse whenever the battery is changed out. I painted the bottom half to make mine a two-tone which it seemed designed for. Loved this car and held onto it long after I could afford something a little more high end. Was the go-to car for lunch because it could comfortably seat five while my colleagues Mercedes' could only seat four. Rear cargo space was a big help through two moves and many Craig's List finds. Finally broke down and replaced it with a used 2006 Lexus SC 430. I like cars with a little pizzaz.

There is not one thing I don't love about my PTC! If any improvement could be made it would be to add flames. This is a fun car to drive. Later models they screwed up the interior. The last perfect PTC models were made in 2002.

I like the styling and the handling. I wasn't expecting the handling performance. Nice suprise. No guts to this engine. I didn't get the turbo. Had to upgrade the coil, plugs, and wires to get about another gallon and a half per mile. Only about 25 mpg tops. Disapointing for a small car

This car is the best i ever owned,reliable, fast, road holding and acceleration was v. good. I would buy another tomorrow if i had the money. Mine had all the kit, full electrics, leather and chrome. well worth every penny
