What Owners are Saying About the 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser
"Darn good vehicle."
"I inherited this car from my father and mother. During the time that I had it, I enjoyed every minute driving it. Comfortable, clean, and great mileage. Anyone who owns one will be very pleased and enjoy it as much as I did. I give it a five star rating in every catagory."
"Ordered car first day available. Never broke. Ever"
"I ordered this car new.This is the easiest car to enter and exit I have ever had and aside from my old Fiat 600, the easiest to drive. I have only had to replace the normal wearable parts and standard maintenance. It was a daily driver until I retired (short trips). It also has several 1,000 mile trips under its belt. It had everything but automatic transmission. I felt car was too heavy for a simple 3 speed automatic for good performance(I was right). One of the best cars I have ever owned."
"A very comfortable car"
"This car is comfortable to drive, although it's not very fast, and it's easy to get in and out of. That makes it very useful for my purposes. I've driven it on long distances and it's a fun ride."
