What Edmunds Says
A practical wagon with some Hollywood style, the PT Cruiser can also be fun to drive, especially in turbo form.
Pros
Distinctive styling inside and out, spacious cabin with multiconfigurable rear seats, smooth ride, spirited acceleration on turbo models, reasonable pricing.
Cons
Acceleration can be sluggish with base engine, awkward seating position for shorter drivers, unimpressive fuel economy.

Review
After Chrysler received a tremendous response from the chop-top PT that was originally shown at the 2001 New York International Auto Show, it decided to go ahead and slate it for production. Major changes from the current model include the switch to a two-door body style, a roll hoop over the top and fold-down rear seats that give access to the cargo area.
