As a pre teen kid i always loved the pt cruiser. Cooler than a hatchback and looked like a restomod 1940s truck. As an adult now id love to purchase a pt cruiser gt 5 speed

[@franzferninhand7797]

No you wouldn't I have one of these with just 190,000mi and it's falling apart

[@hakeemsd70m]

​@@franzferninhand7797 190K miles is a lot for any car, I don't see much to complain about.

[@ptbruiser2243]

If you can find a GT Cruiser with A manual I say go for it. Don't listen to the haters it's like any other car maintain it and it's a decent car. The motor is pretty stout and responds well to upgrades.

[@ReflectiveMetal]

I’ve got a 2002 limited and it still runs strong. Only major thing was a transmission replacement at at 100,000. I recommend also to do the timing belt and water pump at those miles as well. If the timing belt breaks then kiss that engine good bye. I have 119,000 on it now and everything else is original.

Never understood the hate for these things - they were super practical. We moved our daughter in and out of college dorms with my ex wife's PT (non turbo) and it was pretty handy.

[@hellkitty1014]

Pretty good numbers for the day, especially torque.

[@kgthegreatone943]

Srt4 neon in disguise

[@Highlander1432]

These were great Great performance for the day

[@ptbruiser2243]

These things keep up with and smoke v8's with very little money in upgrades.

2005 Had One as Rental on Vacation in Chicago, It was Fun to Drive.

[@raging_carnut]

The roomiest and worst car we ever owned.

[@Blue-moon12]

Haha. Do tell...

[@RomanJockMCO]

I really wanted one of these back in the day. Got a Protégé instead

[@Highlander1432]

Mazdaspeed ?

[@RomanJockMCO]

@@Highlander1432 Sadly, no. Just a regular 2.0 LX sedan. The dealers were demanding too much of a sucker sticker.

[@jmsjuarez5300]

Que hermoso coche 👍👍👍

[@Blue-moon12]

Still looks good, but it was just cheaply built

[@jcirvine38]

Exactly! It would have been better built by Ford😊

[@hakeemsd70m]

The 2006 facelift helped improve things dramatically.

[@jasonz7788]

Awesome thanks 👍

[@DANNYN224]

Not too good turbo engine known for head gasket issues

[@Blue-moon12]

And weak auto transmission

[@isaakwelch3451]

​@@Blue-moon12thats why you get the stick

[@tylerc7037]

​@@isaakwelch3451just gotta keep up with transmission fluid changes. My automatic is at 85,000. I've changed the fluid twice since I got it at 63,000. Shifts super smooth and I do a lot of city driving.

[@H982_FKL]

Cool performance numbers I guess, but this car was just unreliable.

[@JeffSpehar-ov1cn]

Ugly and unreliable car.
