| Hi all, just ordered an cranberry PT.My wife went CRAZY over the PT when it first came out. I never saw her so exited over a car as she was over the PT's We waited until the dealer markups went away and discovered a rebate in effect until 2/28 so we may the plunge. | |
| I traded in my sedan on a new PT. Like many I thought I would wait but sometimes you have to treat yourself a bit. Mine is an Almond color. I thought about getting the Automatic but living in the mountains I decided I would buy a stick at least one more time. I wanted to do some of my own things so one of the few options I added over standard was wheels and rims. I am going to order my Spider spikes this weekend for next winter so I will be ready. I can't see how I couldn't like this car and the after market people are all over the place if you wish to fix one up even more. Believe me I looked at lots of other wagons but kept coming back to the PT. Good luck to the rest of you. | |
| That almond is one cool color. It was high up on my list of colors to choose from. My wife has an Inferno Red Touring edition with an Automatic transmission. I later got a steel blue classic with stick. Both are a blast to drive I know you will be very happy with yours | |
| I looked real hard at the Inferno Red Cruiser. I have had nothing but red cars for years now. Well at least one car has always been red. Where I live there are very few garages and the winter can take it's toll on bright dark colors. I know I can make a shelter for my car and I have a real good car cover. But this is the lightest color car I have ever had and I think I will like it. There is something to be said about owning a PT that only Jeep and old sports car owners seem to have. That sense of friendship and respect owners seem to show each other. I have see a few other PTs and almost always the other people wave. In the last few years I have had a Prelude that once I started fixing it up to look and drive better seemed to anger every other small sporty car driver I ever met. If you pull up to a light and even look at them they take off from that light like they were at the Winter Nationals. Same thing happened when I lowered my SC-1 and put a cold air intake on it. So far I have noticed other PT drivers are more than willing to stop and talk and share what they are doing and give Ideas on what you can do easier. | |
| I'm SO EXCITED!! I just brought home my 2002 deep cranberry PT Cruiser! It's the base model with some extras(moonroof,dark tint,pwr group). I traded in a 2000 Jeep Cherokee - this will be a big change. I love how the interior lights dim on/off when opening/closing the doors! I can't wait to cruise around in it tomorrow and learn all of the neat things to do with it. I'm interested in learning about any other web sites for the cruiser. Anyone want to compare deals on it? Lease or buy prices? I just don't know if I got as good of a deal as I think I did? | |

Mark you calendars everyone. We are holding the event again this year. Last year's event was put together in just 2 months. This year will be bigger and better.
PT Cruiser enthusiasts and their guests from all over the U.S. and Canada will come together to the central New Jersey shoreline at Seven President's Oceanfront Park in Long Branch on Saturday, October 12. This gathering will include a public show-and-shine, free door prizes, music, entertainment, award ceremony, raffles and much much more. Proceeds from this event will benefit Starlight Children's Foundation.
Last year more than 167 PTs from 16 states and Canada were in attendance.
Please visit the webpage for more info:

Hope to see you there! |

You can second guess your decision till the cows come home. The bottom line is: Are you happy with the car? Are you reasonably happy with the price you paid? If so, don't worry about it. Just go out and cruise. When I bought my wifes car in October, prices were higher than when I bought mine in December. Did I get a bad deal on my wifes car? Not for the time I bought it. Is my wife happy with the car? Yes, she loves it and threatens to bodily harm anyone who touches it. I like the interior lights also. That option is called theater lighting as the lights dim the way they dim the lights in the theater at the beginning of the show. I think it's a cool effect. There are a few enthusiasts groups for the cruiser. One of my favorites is www.ptenthusiasts.org They are a nice group of people. |

| I've had a PT since 4-2001. Had an 8 month wait after ordering. Never even test drove it, but knew we wanted on. Gave up an SUV, wondered if I made a mistake especially with our Nebr. winters, but we didn't. I love it, and proved that I could plow through deep snow also. Haven't had any problems, but was dissapointed with the mph. Would consider trading for a 03 turbo, if they come out with them. Was amazed how it handled through the mts. and the power it had to climb. Very happy cruiser. | |
| We don't get that much snow where I live but what little I have been in hasn't been too hard to drive in. I do have a set of the spike spiders that clip on to the wheels in case it ever gets too slippery for me. As far as the MPG goes I was prepared to get a bit worse than I do. I have a 3000 foot climb everyday but that means it is a 3000 foot drop everyday also. I have averaged 24-26 MPG from the first week I brought the car home. The K&N hasn't changed milage that much but it pulls the mountain a bit better. I love the room this car offers. Today I went to the DYI store and came back with several flats of plants, a Microwave, and a planting pot. All fit in the back with the rear seat still in the upright position. I gave up some MPG from my Sedan but I got a lot more useful car. Next comes the new exhaust. | |

| My daughter and family blew the trans. on their 92 Dodge van and the price to fix was more than the blue book value, so I gave them our 88 ply. voyager and since I had always admired the Pt cruiser I shopped for one. We test drove a PT at one dealer and were impressed. However they were selling them at MSRP. Then we went to another dealer who had about 50 on the lot and found exactly the one we wanted and their price was $1500 below MSRP. We went for this deal. | |
