Chrysler PT Cruiser Cabriolet (05-08) - Review Review by David Ross on 08 May 2006 Last Updated: 12 November 2008 As oddballs go, the PT Cruiser Cabriolet is one of the best. It's a three-door drop-top version of the five-door car that's neither a small people carrier or a family hatchback. Buy one and you'll have to forgive its other little quirks - the boot is ridiculously difficult to load, you have to limbo into the rear seats the view out the back is awful. To top everything off, this unusual choice was originally only available in left-hand-drive, but a right-hand version was launched in 2006 - making things a little easier for UK driving. However, your money does buy the kind of exclusivity that's normally reserved for Rolls-Royce and Aston Martin owners. Unfortunately quality, refinement and driver enjoyment are all in short supply. 2 out of 5 Other Chrysler reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 2.5 out of 5 Safety The hard-top PT Cruiser earned a mediocre three-star Euro NCAP rating when it was tested in 2002 and we'd expect the cabrio to perform similarly. ABS and traction control are standard and security is taken care of with an alarm/immobiliser and remote central locking.
