2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser GT review from North America
"This is the best, most useful vehicle I have owned to date--also one of the fastest!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There have been absolutely no problems with this car.
General comments?
The fit and finish of this car is far beyond what I expected. Solid, quiet, and useful.
Most importantly, the car is fast. I have upgraded the turbo to a "Stage I" level, and first gear can never be engaged at full throttle without spinning the tires wildly. Even second gear will spin the tires uselessly. Despite this, gas mileage is up an impressive 20%, so I usually get about 22-25 mpg with mixed driving.
Space is great for a family of four, with enough room for most hauling tasks (the easily removable seats take care of the larger jobs).
Any gripes? None.
