2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser review from North America
"Great, fast and comfortable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket replaced at 400.000 kilometres. There were no other repairs with the exception of brakes.
The 2.4 litre engine is the best engine I have ever owned. That's why I bought my PT Cruiser - it has the same engine as my Plymouth Breeze, which I consider is the best car I have ever owned.
I recently gave my daughter the Breeze and it passed emissions with no problems. The car is going to probably exceed 6 to 7 hundred thousand kilometres. It would not surprise me to see the car exceed a million kilometres. Chrysler has shown everybody that they are back to number 1 when it comes to manufacturing an excellent product.
Thanks,
D Tomlinson.
