2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser Touring Edition review from North America
"Excellent car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transaxle solenoid at 165,000 km.
A/C condenser at 195,000 km.
General comments?
This is probably the best car I have ever owned. Mostly highway driven at 245,000 km, I have only performed routine maintenance, oil changes at 5000 km, and the above noted repairs.
The car is just starting to show a little rust around the rear door hatch lever.
I am 6 foot 2 inches and 250lbs, and there is plenty of room for me and three passengers. You simply cannot beat the interior room of this car, especially with the rear seats tumbled forward.
The rear shelf is rigid enough to hold 30 or 40 pound without buckling, and adds to the storage room with the rear seats in the upright position.
