The power steering hose ruptured at 1,500 miles. Repairs were delayed by 2.5 weeks waiting for a back ordered part.
The factory installed flame graphics were damaged by movement of a heavy accumulation of ice during subsequent melting, after being parked for 3 weeks under 3 feet of snow. The graphic was replaced as a warranty item.
I found a fully loaded GT in black with flame graphics on the dealer lot and was immediately taken by the image it presented.
I really enjoy driving this car. A 15 minute test drive sold me on it.
It handles very nicely and it has much less body roll than it's height might suggest.
It has no trouble accelerating from 65 to 80 for highway passing, even when running up hill.
I just bought a brand new, never been off the lot, Black with Flame decals, 2003 GT PT Cruiser. I got it about a month ago and I love it. I have gotten several comments about it. I once test drove a 2001 and was very impressed. It is amazing how much get up and go a 2.4L with turbo can have. I would love to get the upgrade packages, but for one, can't afford it, and two I don't need it. The stock package is enough for me. I knew the moment they were introduced I wanted one, and I was right. I love the simplicity of the automatic transmission and the convenience of the auto stick. I enjoy going down the road and being able to pass somebody with adequate speed using the auto stick. In the area I live in, most of the other PT Cruisers around are just the strip down versions, and it thrills me that mine sticks out in a good way. Its almost impossible to describe the way I feel driving my new car, but I do know that I present so much confidence when I am in the car. To be frank and with all honesty, I truly feel "cooler" than everyone else on the road!! Thank you for your time, and for making such a wonderful vehicle.
Sincerely.
Drew Noffsinger.
