2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser Touring Edition review from North America

"Love it! Great fun to drive and feels well built"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing has gone wrong with the car.

But since I bought it used, it needs a couple of things repaired.

The power mirror switch won't move the mirrors up or to the right.

When started in the morning, the engine doesn't idle fast and slowly drop down like normal, and has stalled in the morning twice.

I asked a mechanic about that problem and he said it sounds like the idle control sensor. No big deal, the car runs fine and I will fix it in time.

The adjustable shelf in the rear seems useless... but I think it's because it's missing a part at the end of the fold up leg.

General comments?

The car is the most comfortable car I have ever owned.

The stereo is awesome and the speakers compliment it very well. But I will eventually put my Pioneer in since I like the button layout on it better.

I enjoy having the outside temperature and compass display.

The layout of the dash is great and I love the fact that the instrument panel and place above the glove box match the exterior paint job color.

The ride is very comfortable, it corners well for its size, and the brakes are great. I feel confident about the brakes on this car.

I really like the window controls on the dash. It took a little getting used to though.

Though the rear adjustable shelf is useless to me, I can store it directly behind the rear seats and have full trunk space when I need it.

I love the fact the passenger side seat folds down flat. More storage!

Gas mileage surprises me! I get better gas mileage in my PT Cruiser than I did in my Ford Focus. And my PT Cruiser has a slightly bigger motor and the body is much bigger.
