Actually, on Chrysler radios you get a second bank of presets if you push each button a second time. Same thing with the button to set the presets -- push it twice and you'll see SET 2 on the display, indicating that you're programming the second bank of presets. GM did a similar thing with their Delco radios -- pushing two adjacent preset buttons simultaneously will give you another preset.

Not the cars fault they're bad. The manufacturers are the ones to blame. Also, life isn't going to be exactly perfect. there are going to be cars out there that we hate but we don't need to waste life complaining and screaming at cards and inanimate objects that don't really mean any harm they're not out to get us. Unless we make them get the worst out of us. Think on the bright side, they come in so many cool colors that other cars don't necessarily come in. As well that they have two different types of engines. If you look at the front of a PT cruiser look at the headlights they look like eyes and look at the bumper in the front it looks like a smile. It's cute, it's a cute little car. Meant to be loved, even though people don't really like them. Just give them a chance, you don't have to like them but at least just be more appreciative.

[@YegoYTP]

2003 GT with the 5-speed was awesome. We've had two more - 2008 Ltd with turbo and a NA 2010 Classic. It's not that we're just cruiser fanatics but three times running, we just couldn't find anything we liked as well for anywhere near the price. But the GT was something else; I don't know what product manager was responsible for that but they deserved a raise. I've read that for '03 they dipped into the M-B supply chain for the front seats but also, getting that Getrag 5-speed was a coup. I was ex-Saab 9000 and Audi 90 and the PT Cruiser GT was at least level with them both. I knew from the moment I rolled across the dealership parking lot in the GT that the car *had it* and I thoroughly enjoyed driving it.

[@dandowney685]

I rented one for a long road trip and actually loved it. I'm 6'4" and I was very comfortable in it. The door was large and it was easy to get in and out of. The front window was large as well and had great visibility all around. It was very nimble and did not lack for power. Being a small car, I was able to park it any where easily. I still remember that trip with great fondness.

All lies. I'm in multiple PT cruiser clubs and we have members and their cars have over 300,000 mi on it. You just got to take care of it and keep up on normal maintenance. It's one of the funnest cars I've ever owned and I've owned many many cars from classics, to muscle, to work, and even motorcycles. This PT cruiser is an absolute blast to drive and it's very easy to work on and parts are easy to come by and there's endless DIY KZbin videos out there on how to keep it going for many many miles.

Hi Doug, this is hilarious - thanks :) I'm one of the weirdos who really loves this car. We in Australia don't get the same choices that you do in the US, so it's the only car over the past 20 years or so that I've loved the look of, that isn't actually really vintage. (Of the ones that I could possibly afford.) Regarding the air conditioning: I like to drive in an icebox. It gets hot here sometimes, as you can imagine, and I hate the heat. So, apart from the strange little direction knobs, is the air conditioning nice and cold? Or does it fail there as well? Thanks, Leigh

Mr.Scurvy that’s not intentionally done to lengthen the video, he frequently talks about the issues he experiences with videos being too long. A lot of KZbinrs speak ridiculously quickly. Doug is just a good public speaker.

@@mr.scurvy if doug spoke twice ass fast it would take all the comedic timing out of his videos and nobody would watch.

The head unit on these ( or at least the one on my Intrepid back in the day) could, in fact, store more presets. Hitting each preset number twice would access the second station. So 10 stations could be pre-set, it just wasn't very obvious.

Those two hooks on the b-pillar are for holding up the fold up rear seat and for your information that fold down seat in the front that's so you can put long cargo so you don't have to worry about damaging the front seat back.

[@adamcusick1514]

I actually had a PT GT for a while when I was in college. The window switches are something you get used to. It's nothing worse than my Mercedes that mounted them in the middle for years. The beeping when you put it in reverse was for the Getrag transmission 5speed because it was a dogleg so they were concerned people in the US might not be used to that and accidentally shift into reverse at a light. The little hooks on the b-pillar was for a cargo net that I believe was optional. So when you folded the rear seats flat to get a lot of storage you had a little cargo stop so it wouldn't move up if you stopped really fast. The door buttons do in fact freeze up in the winter. It was comical and usually not too bad. I used the plastic seat back many times between classes to study and have a quick bite. The rear wing was absolutely silly. As a college student the back table was great for tailgate. The greatest thing was after you put a blow off valve you could pull a vacuum line off the wastegate and then run a ton of boost. It made for a very fun driving experience although the handling was a nightmare at high speeds. It was still tons of fun to blow by all sorts of people that thought they had a fast car. People like stock mustangs, camaros, and even some of the older vettes. The worst thing was coming up to a light and being tall. With the windshield angle and height you couldn't see the light. Ugly but fun car over all.

[@jg5001]

Well said and I had a red one myself (an automatic). I didnt think much and did hate the PT until I saw the ad said 'turbo', then personally fell in love with it after driving it for a while. I wish I still had it but I gave it away after the engine blew.

[@matte8441]

The Rolls Royce Cullinan doesn’t even have a cargo tray that becomes a table. The PT Cruiser was ahead of its time.

[@jonathanmarquez572]

My very hip and very old grandma used to pick me up in school in a Pt cruiser and the one thing i remember is the sound. I remember plastic always creaking and rattling, very little sound insulation, and the steering wheel would rattle over bumps. I was always terrified because she drives like a 15 year old on Gta.

[@conchobar]

Coming from someone who was an adult when the PT Cruiser was released, almost no one made fun of its looks. It was overwhelmingly viewed as a cool retro design. Making fun of the PT Cruiser's design 20 years later is akin to laughing at your parent's wedding photos, completely ignorant of the fact you'll ultimately be on the other end of that criticism in the near future.

I bought a PT new in 2002. It was remarkably reliable all the way until 2023 where it blew the timing belt because I forgot to replace it on schedule. My bad. So I got a 2003 GT turbo. The autostick is very fun to drive and has a safety function where you can't lug it accidentally. If you really want some extra acceleration (not that it's needed), remove the rear seats and spare tire to get the weight down. Warning . . .it is dangerously fast. Rear seats remove with a couple of lever flips. Note to Doug: the metal rings at the back are for the included net. I really like the styling. These days you can't tell a Kia from a Lexus. But the PT stands out with it's flames and Chrysler Airflow styling. Plus, it holds a ton of stuff inside with the fold down front seat. I need that. I teach a class and I can't get all the supplies I need to take in my Toyota crew cab, but it all fits in the PT with room to spare. Sorry you don't like the styling Doug. But it is right up my alley since I have a 1950 Studebaker convertible hot rod (3rd place international winner), and a 1951 Studebaker Starlight coupe.

[@gray25xt]

I recently acquired a PT GT 5-speed, partly because of this review. This is a lot of car for the money. Doug's criticisms of the styling are subjective but we're all entitled to our opinions...imho that's part of the charm of the car, the looks mixed with the SRT-4 engine. His criticisms of the interior are almost all incorrect...e.g. the interior plastics are on par with Hondas of that era...the vents adjust perfectly fine...the defrost buttons are that way for symmetry reasons...etc. It's like he wanted to hate the car and found stuff to say toward that end. The handling is crap, he is correct, but as I said that's part of the charm...you're in a PT Cruiser folks, it's not a sports car, but it has a sports car engine. For the money it's a ton of fun. Check my channel for some fair reviews.
