2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser Touring review from North America
"Retro styling and fun to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had some issues with the starter not wanting to do its job when first bought, was corrected.
Other than that, nothing.
General comments?
I'm actually writing this about my parents' PT Cruiser. Honestly, I didn't like the styling and was a little disappointed when they bought it to replace my mom's Aerostar (not that that thing was any better), but after driving it, I changed my mind.
It's a very smooth ride, and the transmission, while an automatic (that was my parents' fault) shifts nicely.
It handles very well too.
Visibility is excellent. Also, the controls are intelligently arranged and the body-color accents in the interior are a nice touch.
I would like to try a PT Turbo with a manual tranny in it, but my mom's is a nice car.
