2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser Standard review from North America
"Great car for a woman"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There have been two recalls on this model. The dealerships are accommodating, but it was a pain to take it in twice.
General comments?
This is my first brand new car I have ever owned and I love it. My favorite thing about it are the four cup holders located in the center of the car. There aren't many small cars that have that many cup holders any more.
The car handles very easy in all types of weather, even in eight inches of snow. The PT has a lot of space, especially the back seat. My six foot two boyfriend can sit comfortably in both the front and back seats. The important parts of the engine are conveniently painted in yellow for easy find.
This model doesn't have a trunk button to pop open the back door while seated in the car. In order to open the trunk while in the car, you must take the key out of the ignition and get out and unlock the trunk door with the key.
This model also doesn't have power locks. It gets a bit annoying after leaning over the seats and manually unlocking the doors.
With or without a trunk popper or power locks, this car is fun and easy to take car of. As a young woman, I recommend it to all women!
