2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser Limited Edition review from North America
"Looks cool and runs well, but very thirsty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong; it is a very reliable car.
General comments?
The car gets terrible gas mileage.
I bought this vehicle to drive to work and save my Jaguar XJS from things like snow and salt. I know it isn't a fair comparison in many ways, but I think it is a notable point that my 6-cylinder 4 litre British grand tourer delivers a solid 26-28 miles per gallon while the Cruiser struggles to achieve 23.
Handling is mediocre, but I'm spoiled in that department.
I love the style of the little beast, though, and the interior is great.
Chrysler designed a great deal of efficient space into the Cruiser. It is very versatile.
I would stand in line to buy one with a hybrid engine.
