2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser Touring review from North America
"Failure"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Used as a rental car, traveled 2500 miles. 2009 touring edition.
General comments?
Absolutely horrible gas mileage. We averaged 23mpg. How can they classify it as a touring edition. With bad mileage and a fairly small gas tank.
The passenger seat was squeaky when going around any turn or bump.
The vehicle needs a larger engine for the size. 2.4L (and a weak 2.4 at that) is not enough to pull the car up hills without the transmission having to regularly down shift.
