Chrysler PT Cruiser (00-08) - Review Review by Dan Harrison on 25 November 2005 Last Updated: 11 November 2008 Chrysler's PT Cruiser combines hot-rod looks and retro style with a healthy dose of practicality. It's an off-beat alternative to the family hatchbacks like the Ford Focus or Vauxhall Astra, although it lacks the engine choice, build quality and refinement of these popular models. The plasticky interior feels cheap and it's not especially comfortable with a rough ride on uneven surfaces. However, it's affordable, quite practical and worth considering if you're after something out of the ordinary. A 2006 facelift added fresher interiors and a more powerful 2.2-litre diesel engine. 2.5 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 4 out of 5 Equipment Three trims were initially offered, Classic, Touring and Limited.
