Actually, on Chrysler radios you get a second bank of presets if you push each button a second time.

GM did a similar thing with their Delco radios -- pushing two adjacent preset buttons simultaneously will give you another preset.

I have been driving since 1966. I have owned many classical cars. I own a 2004 PT Cruiser, Base Model with 5 Speed. My PT Cruiser had just over 97,000 original miles, when I bought it, and is in showroom condition. I love the dash confiuration; the cabin has plenty of head room, (I am 6' 4"). I am impressed by the excellent overall fit and finish of this vehicle. Doors, Windows, Locks, are all made rock solid. The ride is solid, and quiet. The handling is tight sporty. The 2.4 delivers excellent smooth power, and has a high redline limit, (But I rarely exceed 3,500 RPM). . My PT Cruiser has had its timing belt, thermostat, and water pump replaced. There has been no oil burning; absolutely no coolant loss after more than 1,000 miles of driving, since I bought it. With a new set tires, no other repairs have been needed. The cargo room is impressive, and quite useful. It is a true mini cargo truck. My PT Cruiser was garage kept by an elderly couple. The Butter-Cream paint-finish is flawless, and after a hand/paste wax job, shines like new. This is a true collectable America Classic!

[@slothandchunk]

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]

Doug gets so many things wrong in this video but most especially what “people” think of it. I’ve had a GT since the first year, 2003, and had many, many people tell me the love the styling. It is very quick and made much quicker with the usual intake, exhaust and tune mods that cost almost nothing (300+hp/320+ft/lbs). There are also a bunch of aftermarket performance mods available as well including suspension, big turbos, wheels and dozens of body mods made for this car especially for the front ends. Perhaps the biggest mistake Doug makes is that completely misunderstands what this vehicle actually is. It isn’t a car, it was the worlds fastest production van. Officially it is categorized as an SUV because it has so much interior space. The rear seats come out completely or flip up all the way against the fronts and with the roof height it has a lot more room in the rear than most full size SUVs with their seats up. That is what Doug’s mystery hooks are for: There are latches that secure the rear seats forward with some straps that are stored underneath them. But that is only a couple of the configurations. Doug also completely missed that the front seat folding down flat wasn’t just a convenient desk area, which it is and works great as such from the driver seat as well, but is also folds down flat because the rear seats fold at the same level and the rear deck can be also placed at this same same level making a full back to front space of something like 9 feet. That also leaves a fairly large space under the rear deck for storing stuff. I’ve moved a lot of large furniture items that would not fit in anything other than a minivan thanks to this flexibility. That is why so many women got this car. It is actually remarkably practical and in the GT, fast, yet small enough to be easy for parking and gets pretty good gas mileage. Of course this isn’t all Doug got very wrong. The rear panel flips up against the rear seats because that exposes these hooks that are on the bottom which are perfect for hanging grocery bags. It also has tie down hooks as well as a rear 12v electric access for tailgating, something that few if any other vehicle had at the time. And yes the radio has 10 presets and a 6 disc CD changer. He also missed the drawer under the passenger seat. Include ABS and traction control which at the time were far from universal and add the heated, leather very comfortable seats with a huge amount of head room and my fully loaded GT was $25K brand new in 2003. The only car that could compete for performance per price was the WRX STi hatchback which became available in the US the same year, a vehicle that has much less space and flexibilty and in those early years was arguably much uglier. Today a GT Cruiser will go for $7-10K without any mods. So if everybody hates it so much, why is it worth anything? Because Doug is very very wrong about this car, I mean van.

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.

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.
