Lotsa hype, not much hustle; looks like a hot rod, but ain't got the muscle!

Jun 08 '01 - Updated Jun 16 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: snazzy retro styling cures the ho-hum blues brought on by most current cars
Cons: typical Daimler-Chrysler quality control and engineering
The Bottom Line: DaimlerChrysler cleverly disguised this station wagon as a concept car. Fun to drive, but chintzy construction should be a warning -- be prepared to dump this baby in 50K miles.

Smalltown, USA, 1948: Me an' my best chum Danny is hangin' out down to Brophy's malt shop at the corner of 3rd and Main, watchin' the chicks sittin' in the back booth, when we sees this snazzy new set of wheels go cruisin' by on Main. Well,...

Chrysler 2001 PT Cruiser

by djgeiger Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200
May 18 '01 - Updated Nov 08 '09 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Uniqueness and style. Very handsome interior.
Cons: Could use more power.
The Bottom Line: A good value for the money spent even looking beyond the impish styling!

What a CUTE little car kind of a cross between a SUV and a car. Wonder who the parents were? It’s about time that a car manufacturer started thinking about unique and style again. Ever get bored and watch the cars go by on the freeway and come to ...

The Retro PT Cruiser: a hands-on review.

by counsel Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000
Apr 14 '00 - Updated Aug 29 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: If there was ever a "Passenger Utility Vehicle" this is it. Gorgeous, nostalgic styling.
Cons: Ya either love it or you hate it - hard to feel neutral about this car. Acceleration is disappointing.

Yes, there's a reason I've been holding back on dumping new-car bucks on a small SUV or pickup, which were my choices prior to learning about the PT Cruiser. With this car, Chrysler shows once again that they have no problem with turning a concept...

Pros: 1940's Styling
Cons: 1940's Engineering

It's Sunday afternoon; what's that crowd in front of the Mopar dealer? Pulling out of Wal Mart and stopping in, I found behind the mob of people the dealerships first PT Cruiser. Looking at this car, there's no way not to love it. The engineers...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Stylish. Comfortable. Unique. Good Gas Mileage
Cons: 8 month waiting list. Price Gouging.

The first time I saw the new 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser, my head instinctively turned. The car was sleek, attractive, and appeared to be built for speed. The first car that entered my mind was the Plymouth Prowler, which had a sticker price hovering...

Chrysler P.T. Cruiser suspension: A Neon, or not ?

by roadiem Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500
Oct 10 '00 - Updated Dec 30 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: One of a kind styling. Impressive to young and old alike.
Cons: Not impressive suspension.

O.K. I've given them enough time to build a reputation now, and I think it's time to do a review on the Chrysler P.T. Cruiser suspension. First off there has been a whole lot of noise spoken saying "The P.T.Cruiser is nothing but a Neon...

Is This Really Worth Waiting 8 Months For

by badbonz0007 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500
May 31 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Very nostalgic looking/Price
Cons: Hard to work on/int. color choices/waiting time/deposit



If you are looking for a vehicle with a Nostalgic look, then this is the one for you. This vehicle has the look of a 1999 Chrysler Prowler, and a 1937 Ford Slant Back Sedan, and a 1950's Olds Woody. When I first saw this car I was driving...

Pros: Style, Spacious, Resell Value

The Bottom Line: If you're looking for something stylish and spacious, this is it.  If you're looking for a speed demon or green car, keep looking.

This is my first review so please be gentle and let me know if there are any important details I have left out.I bought the 2001 PT Cruiser Limited in summer 2007, and let's be honest: my main attraction to the car was its style.  It is not ...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: good looking
Cons: no power, blind spots galore

I am not really in the market for a new car at this time; however, I have noticed the new PT Cruiser a lot lately and felt that I might want to give this attractive new car a test drive. I headed over to my local dealership and found, amazingly to me,...

What Lies Beyond the "Fun Factor?"

by RichBoston Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500
Aug 31 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Price, Interior Room/ Versatility, The "Fun Factor"
Cons: Smallish Exterior, Needs a Turbocharger

I first saw the Chrysler PT Cruiser at an Auto Show last winter. I was anxious to see it because I had already, even by that time, read so much about it. Give Chrysler’s publicity people credit – they’ve gotten a billion dollars worth of free press for...

Mom Didn't Get An Old Lady Car, She Got A PT Cruiser!

by cmuir Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500
Aug 16 '00 - Updated May 08 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Really neat looking car, great gas mileage.
Cons: It is just a four cylinder.
The Bottom Line: While this car looks really hot and gets great gas mileage, for those of us how grew up in the muscle car era, it is a bit disappointing.

My parents picked up their Chrysler PT Cruiser just a little over three weeks ago. Mom is in heaven, she can't go anywhere without someone stopping to talk to her about her car and to get a little tour. First though I have to explain to you about my ...

Jun 27 '00 - Updated Jul 21 '09 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: great interior; trunk space; looks
Cons: invoice is up due to high demand
The Bottom Line: 1

Ahh, drop drooling over the car! You must resist the urge. It costs way too much now, just wait till 150k of them are shipped next year. The PT Cruiser is the first real challenge the Beetle gets since its rebirth, as its even more funky than the VW, and ...

Pros: Lots of attention, comfortable ride
Cons: Needs more power, strange window controls

Recently I was in California for my wife's sister's wedding. We had planned this trip for a while and had pre-booked and prepaid everything. Things didn't always go as we planned but overall it was a fun trip. (Fun trip = spending more money than you...

Pros: Way-cool styling, lots of cargo space, great shifter knob, interesting, head-turner
