2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser Base review from North America
"Good car so far. I want to see the GT"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None so far.
General comments?
This car is quick, comfortable and easy to drive. Only thing about the automatic transmission is it usually shifts at high revs yielding relatively low gas mileage for a 4 cylinder car (23 freeway). If gas mileage matters you should go for a stick, or hopefully Chrystler will begin to use automatic transmissions with overdrive for this car. It handles great and brakes decent for having rear drum brakes. Only real complaints are that the brakes lock real easy (did not purchase ABS) and the ground clearance is a little too low to make it into my driveway without bottoming out.
