So far so good. No problems at all.
The only think the muffle vibrates in a couple of occasions, with cold engine and in town. This problem has been fixed by the dealer for free.
Excellent vehicle. I re-discover the pleasure to drive.
The looking is cool, buy this car if you want to distinguish yourself from others.
The seats are extremely comfortable, there is space for all the family and luggage.
Luxury interiors, excellent climatization, clear and easy to understand dashboard and instruments panel.
Drives like a minivan, very stable and secure in town and on highways.
Is missing a little power horses, buy I guess the Turbo model can do more.
Fuel economy is pretty good too.
I'm just waiting and looking for the 2006 models that should include an AWD version. At that point the PT Cruiser will be really the best buy car to have.
After years of Japanese vehicles, pleeeease, buy American!!!
My previous Nissan Pathfinder doesn't have a good level of finishing, was not very reliable and I have had to make as friend a petrol station guy...
Having sold both Chryslers and Nissans over the years (and vitually every other make sold in America), I must take issue with your statement regarding the fit and finish of the Pathfinder. For all of Nissan's faults, fit and finish is not one of them. Shoddy workmanship on many Chrysler products unfortunately has been routine. (And I own a Chrysler product!)
Also, don't hold your breath waiting for an AWD PT Cruiser. The truth is, sales of PT Cruiser's has been on the decline over the last 2 or 3 years.
Besides the base engine's lack of power, another huge negative is that the PT has a huge turning circle (over 40 ft.).
It's like trying to park a school bus.
The good points are the versitle interior.
The styling is something you either love or hate.
Good luck with your PT. They have proven to be very reliable vehicles.
After 18 months of trouble free motoring, problems started and I found parts were very expensive in the UK. They're only available from the main dealer, so if you want one, buy new with a warranty and sell it before you have to pay out!!
