| Does anyone have a MOPAR Nav System installed...I think it's called the RB1? | |
|

| No, but I know one person that does have it. Not cheep at $1200 or so and one should really have the six disk CD changer (he does) so one can use Nav and listen to CDs at the same time. Has what appears to be the same data base and display information that my MDX has (an Alpine unit). Works the same way except the Cruiser version does not have a touch screen or voice controls, so it is not as easy to input information as one might like. | |
| I was at the PT Cruiser 2nd Annual Block Party at Pomona CA today. They had a large crowd and a huge number of PT's turned out for the event. I saw cars from many states and as far east as IL. They had two convertibles, one of which they will be giving away tonight. It was worth the time spent. | |

Well, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised since I'm only posting here for the first time and I've had my '03 Dream Cruiser since the end of June. Having seen the '04 Dream Cruiser, and an occasional '02, I think the '03's Tangerine Pearl is the best color so far. Some of the "Aztec(?)" gold '02's make me think of mustard; others seem ok, particularly in bright sunlight. But the two-tone Navy over Silver '04 sure is a throwback, to police cars of the '20s and '30s! I enjoy my Cruiser, except for the mileage; no better than 15 mpg, but then I only have 3000 miles on it. We'll see. Though I like the Sirius radio and subscription that came with it, I can't foresee taking the Cruiser on a long trip that a satellite radio seems best suited for. Now I think I should have tried to have that radio swapped out for one with a cassette player (and Sirius?) and added the 10 disk changer. Ah, but that's how you learn things; experience.

I think you will find a lot of Cruiser posts on the many PT club sites. Don't know why this forum is ignored. My PT GT has seen a very slow increase in mpg since new. The mpg started improving at about 3k and is up about 12% to 17.5. Still not great and the small tank makes for a short range. I've seen 25 on the freeways, but 23 is the norm. Mine came with the CD and cassette radio. Personally, I like the nav radio, though I might miss having the cassette and don't like having to install a CD changer so I could listen to a CD and use the nav at the same time.

Replying to: ptblack2002 (Aug 23, 2005 1:42 pm) Wow, that is not good at all. Others have reported such low numbers. With the last fill-up, I made around 25MPG, and that was a mix of driving and some pretty high RPMs on shifts. No not to red line, but above the 4K RPMs on shifts. I will keep track on each fill, but so far it is 24 to as high as 29.68 on one good run. I can easily get 20 to 25 in a mix of driving, with 20 the low if mostly in town, shorted runs. I do have a stick though, so perhaps that is the difference. I guess you could try taking out the back seats to save weight. That could save 1 MPG.... well maybe??? Loren |

| Greetings! I'm a new PT owner - bought a 2005 automatic sedan with 19K from the dealer for $12.5K. Wonderful car - I have been very pleased with it in the 6 weeks I've had it. Mileage started out at about 24 mpg mixed driving (I have a 15-mile commute that is mostly highway, but includes some in-town as well). About 2 weeks ago, I installed a K&N air filter - about $30 from Advance. These are high-volume filters that are reusable, so the initial cost is offset by longer life. I have used them on MGB sports cars. Anyway, my mileage is now running about 26 MPG. Not a huge jump, but again, a bit of savings in the long run. Note that this is a stock replacement filter, not the aftermarket add-on you can get on eBay. | |

My dad is giving me a car for my High School graduation present. I have a summer only car right now and need something that is going to be reliable and will handle well in the winter. One of my options is a PT Cruiser. I came across this site and i'm hoping to get some feed back from people on their Winter driving. *Have you had trouble with it starting? *Does it have good traction or will i have problems with sliding? Those are the two main things i want to know. Anything else you could throw at me to help my decision would be appreciated. Thanks Amanda |
