2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Base review from North America
"Most bang for the buck in the world!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
I looked for quite some time to try to find a car for under $12K BRAND NEW! Nothing out there came CLOSE to the PT. THERE IS SOMETHING TO BE SAID FOR A GOOD POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO, and the PT is a shining example of this. It's amazing how many cars you can blow away with the little 5 speed "hand shaker!"
Handling isn't phenomenal, but, quite good. When fitted with a good set of aftermarket wheels and tires, this lightweight little rocket ROCKS!
There is so much room inside! You can carry 5 adults with plenty of legroom!
I like everything about this car! For under $12K, you get A/C, keyless entry, alarm, electric windows. The dash is GREAT. The economy is terrific... over 30mpg!
Try one and chances are, you'll buy one!
