#10 of 69 bad weather PT road test by 1gr8chf Sep 01, 2001 (4:51 pm)
I live in central PA and am looking for a daily driver. I do territiry sales in some of the northern counties where i know it snows good! Currently drive a '98 beetle which is great on gas but is lacking in the cargo area. Have any of you driven the cruizer in the snow? How did it do? Also how has gas mileage been? probably looking to drive 150 mi. a day is this a car you would recomend?
#11 of 69 TWO PT'S ARE BETTER THEM ONE! by louiept Sep 16, 2001 (4:53 pm)
Hi , My name is Louie ,Retired and living in West Florida. In April 2000 I went to look at the Chrysler Minivan but when I saw that I could have two PT's for the price of one minivan I ordered the PT's and took delivery April 14, 2000. I took the white one and my wife took the Silver one. With almost 1 1/2 years of everyday use and loving every minute ,we are unable to find any reason to bring them in for service other them the regular routine maint. (oil & filter changes). I have over 17,000 miles and my wife is close with just over 16,000. Being we both love driving them , we found ourselves at times taking both cars rather then fighting as to who will drive. This is the ideal marriage having his & hers PT's. The reason we were able to get two so fast was because we did not order the Limited Edition with all the options. All we wanted was auto/trans - air cond - am/fm/cass - tinted glass - pwr/windows & cruise. We find that there are more Limited Editions on the road then Base models, now which one is Limited ??

#12 of 69 17-Month Delivery by bevdismukes Sep 25, 2001 (10:26 pm)
Well. We finally took delivery after 17 months. We got the new color of Light Almond. It's beautiful--the drive, the car, and all.   Our other car is a Lexus, and excepting a few creature comforts, it's an easy transition. The PT is fun, a solid ride, and surprisingly quiet.   We look forward to a long happy life together.
#13 of 69 Can I play too? by crkeehn Oct 06, 2001 (6:40 am)
We just took delivery yesterday of a 2002 Touring Edition in Inferno Red. My initial take on the car is that it is a tightly put together vehicle with some very thoughtful touches. Unfortunately, I won't have much opportunity to test out my initial feelings as it is my wifes car and I may not be able to pry it out of her hands. As we speak, she is on her first antique hunting run, across the Bay bridge into Marylands Eastern Shore.   The ride with the touring suspension is very firm as are the seats. Steering is very tight and requires more effort than my other two rides. It's not unpleasant, just different and I'm sure that with a little more exposure I will find the other steering sloppy and ride too soft. The sound system is very good, I really like the (now) standard AM/FM/CD player, the sound was very clean and crisp when we tried out a cd. I have a feeling that my first few trips with the car will be spent with the owners manual clutched firmly in hand as I learn to use all the features.   BTW, Hi Karen

#15 of 69 PT by msu1 Dec 04, 2001 (12:15 pm)
I just turned 9000 on my PT. it is running good. the gas mileage is still about 20 mpg. I do a lot of highway driving I hope it gets better. I took the back seats out, there is a lot of room for my dog back there. I do have one problem. the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT occasionally comes on. But if I keep it filled with gas it OK. MSU
#16 of 69 just bought 2002 by cmim Dec 12, 2001 (9:48 am)
Picked up '02 Cranberry Touring - ABS/CD-Cass./moon roof/pwr seat/cruise/side airbags/auto for MSRP-21,280. Coming from years of p/u's and suv's and going to a PT is quite a change. But it is refreshing to get back the nimbleness and ease of parking you getin a car like vehicle but still retain the versatilty the suv's have. I think the PT is a great compromise and with it's great retro looks it was an easy pick for me. Looking forward to having fun driving again.   msu-1 - it could be a vacuum problem with the gas cap. A new gas cap might fix the problem
#17 of 69 I took Louie's advice by crkeehn Jan 03, 2002 (1:04 pm)
His suggestion that two PT's were the way to domestic harmony was right on the button. The end of December, taking advantage of the Home for the Holiday incentives, I took delivery of my second PT, a steel blue Classic 5 speed. As this is my daily commuter, I don't need all the bells and whistles that the TE or LE offer. The 5 speed is also a blast to drive. I still get visitation rights to the Inferno Red TE, whenever it needs gas.
#18 of 69 I've had mine since October by heart93 Jan 15, 2002 (8:22 pm)
And I'm very satisfied. I have about 4,000 miles on my Black 2002 Limited (4 whl ABS w/ tract control, heated seats, and upgraded radio being the only options). I bought it for 2% below invoice & could have picked one up the same day, if I had been willing to take an automatic. I wasn't thrilled with the acceleration & knew I wanted a 5 spd, so I waited around 2 weeks for a 5 speed that had already been ordered to arrive. This is my first Chrysler product, and so far I'm very pleased.
