Chrysler recommends premium gas for the models equipped with the Turbo engine but for those with this standard engine, I personally recommend using mid grade gas (89 octane) over regular (87).

Premium isn't recommended for a non performance engine though.
My mother had two of these! They both had multiple problems, she traded her last one in 08 on a New Cadillac DTS, which is another shitty unreliable car! And she finally traded that DTS in on a new Subaru last fall, and as much as I hate to admit it, but it seems Japan has us beat on reliability now.

Jesus Christ, is there a freaking comment that isn't saying this car is ugly or a piece of shit. Its not that bad. I like the PT Cruiser. I would drive one!!!!
I have this car and I love it. If u dont get that its a retro take on the old woodys that surfers used here in SoCal, then u would hate it!. I think it looks great, especially cruising to the beach with my longbourd on top!...and Im not alone...there are tons of em here!...my other car is a bmw z4!
@b67717 If it was garbage then why did Chrysler sell so many of them?? HMMM??? I guess they're just awful given that and the fact that you think they're ugly. Plus, I bet you haven't even owned one so how can you say it sucks? Because that's what everyone else says? I've got one and haven't had any issues, it's a great car. I just put 500 miles on it in the past few days and it drove like a champ. It's now got over 50k on it and I intend to prove you haters wrong by getting it up to 300k.
@cgletts Lol yes it would seem that way. I haven't seen that movie in a long time, I don't recall them having one of these in it. Idk why they just can't keep their mouths shut and stop hating on cars they don't like and let the people who actually appreciate it comment on it.
I have a 2006 PT Cruiser that is very similar to this one except it's the inferno red color and the dash has the silver center console and red on the sides to match the exterior. Great little car and I have no idea why people hate it so much. I generally prefer older cars but this car has very simple, easy to use electronics which I love. It rides nicely and is a very easy to drive car. It's a small car but it's got a ton of personality and I highly recommend it. I've got videos of mine too.
@ewandenis Well I like the look of this car. Come on you can't say this is uglier than cars like the Nissan Cube! That thing looks like a clown mobile! I know everyone has their own taste in cars and the PT is usually a love it or hate it kind of car. I've grown to appreciate it more as I've owned mine and they're fun to drive. That's the thing about them. You really need to drive one and discover all of the personality it has behind the wheel. They're not that powerful but they handle great.
I used to be kinda disapointed my parents bought this for my first car cause I thought they were slow, cheap, unreliable, etc. *however* I drove it for several years without a single issue. I did wreck it though (not my fault) and the airbags deployed and the "crunch zones" did their job. I walked away from a crash.. (car totaled) fine. So after that I had to kinda appreciate the little car. I think it depends on jow attentive an owner a car has a lot of the time when it comes to reliability.
@Jtdrake21 I agree with you about owners determining a car's reliability. I have a PT and I actually love the car. I was hit by a Chevy Silverado in mine (guy had no clue where he was going) and it did it's job protecting me. After both driver side doors were replaced, the car looks like nothing ever happened to it and it's my first car too. But anyway, even cars that have an overall bad rep can be decent if well taken care of. No car will ever last if the owner neglects it.
@Mcmerc01 Trust me every car has a different chime on it every company has its own door chime thing thats annoying listen to a honda civic or an accord american model
braydenmartindale is right. I finally understand why these things sold so well. They seem very useful and practical and stylish inside, but the big downer is the interior fit and finish and quality. What a shame! Chrysler might've made a modern classic otherwise.
My friend had a car liket his and is it normal if when u have air coditioning on and ur just sitting in a road does air just poof like every couple minutes?
@braydenmartindale Ok because i dont know what model year it was but, one day they were in front of our house and they had the window down and the air coditioning on and the car and right in the front of the car, u would hear a sound and see something by the front of the tire and it was like a spray thing.
cars don't need rev limiters...cars are meant to be put to the test, not be held back by a stupid computer that only lets it rev up around 3-4,000 rpm.:)
Never understood why dealers stick their logos onto the body of the cars. Just use a license plate frame so it can be easily removed if the customer doesn't want it.
hm...the 2002 pt cruiser that my mom had was better than this... it didn't have side airbags but the interior was better too.. had power mirrors and the horn sounded much more deeper that this one.. It saves gas but the safety is what worried me..
The P.T Cruiser is a very reliable car, it also has a lot of room. don't forget good gas mileage. you guys are judging it just on looks. the look that Chrysler came up with is a combination of one of their 1930's cars and their (at the time of the first P.T cruiser) their newest mini-van.
Bit aged technology in this one for a 2008 model, the engine for example, 150hp & 165ft/lb in a 2.4l? Most European manufacturers get that amount from a 1.6 nowadays. But the tour was once again amazing Kyle! Great stuff, keep up the good work.
@braydenmartindale yep they were made in the same plant i think in austria it was only for 1 year i think for the european market but all the other models were made in Mexico
@Geekoman1256 wow, I feel so offended, how did you come up with such an amazing insult?. back to the cube thing I hate that as well, there is a lot of shitty cars out there.
My mom owns a 2005 and we like to call it the pt crapster because its always broken. Has 64,000 miles and already replaced the water pump, the cooling fan, as well as fixing some torn axle boots and a leaking battery and thats all within a month.
I wish I can argue in favour of this car, because the design had so much promising potential, Alas that's not the case, because I've rented this car once in the early 2000's and it made me strongly skeptical about it. I could've lived with its sluggish performance, but what really bothered me about this car the most, are its vicious blindspots, due to its badly placed and beefy A pillars in conjunction with the C pillars. It not only made me feel insecure, but also claustrophobic as well.
They're not that bad...to me. I drove one and it felt very zippy. I was considering to make it into a SCCA Road Race car. The 2.5 engine pulls very good and the suspension handles/grips well. Install some hi-perf parts on it and have fun....there are other/better choices out there but, for the money....why not? I may next year?
Seriously what is wrong with youtube. I'm enjoying a saabklye04 video and all of a sudden an ad just decides to play without permission and i can't pause or mute it!
My grandma has the same exact car. I met the man who designed the PT his name is Paul Thomas Cruze. Shame Chrisler let it rot to shit over its 14 year life. It could have been carried on into a great car.
People already mentioned what's wrong with these things so I wont touch on that. However I hardly think this is the worst car ever I'm pretty sure there are Chinese and Russian car brands that produce far worse.
Oh forgot to mention, for a small car it's a f*cking pig on gas, the thing only gets 25MPG at BEST, hell I've seen trucks and SUVS with better MPG....
@lakeb0dom I see lots in my area but they all seem to be first generation, maybe that was a little more reliable than the 2nd generation or maybe it's just a coincidence.
@braydenmartindale yea i was looking @ pt crusisers when i was lookin for my first car (ended up being a 2001 honda crv) but my first choice was the pt cruiser we kept finding pt cruisers with blown engines at 60k miles.
Have your grandma taken her PT Cruiser to the dealership? For that milleage one could expect a dead fuse, not the horn itself. That´s what happened with my previous car, a 2000 Stratus after 85,000 miles. After the fuse replacement (10 bucks at much) its horn was working again like new.
@luisinhoens90 I checked the fuses myself, they were good so we took it to the dealer, Chrysler said they would charge even though it's in warranty, so we took it to our regular mechanic and hey told us the horn itself was seized.
Sorry to hear that, but at least it wasn´t a major part (engine, tranny, suspension, steering. . . ). After that previous car I got I have learned to trust in Chryslers, they can be quite reliable, at least mine was that way.
@luisinhoens90 Meh, every Chrysler I have ever personally owned has been horrid, two of them had complete transmission failures and one engine started burning oil before the coolant system eventually blew up. I heard quality has improved but the 2009 PT Cruiser doesn't seem to show it!
I'll be sticking with Volkswagen and Subaru from now on, both of them have been so reliable and good to me. Plus, my brother has a 2003 VW golf TDI and the thing has over 400,000 miles on it still going strong!!
I gotta say that the attempt to look "retro" fails miserably with this car. It looks really cheap inside. My mom almost convinced us to get one of these. Thank goodness we didn't!!
While I don't find this car completely repulsive, I don't like its bad fuel mileage, bad build quality, and the stigma associated with driving one. Mazda 3 is what I'd get instead.
@cargecko007 they are okay when it comes to gas mileage but my aunt had a 01 cruiser and it developed a overheating problem and if you would put it in neutral and rev it up it would cool back off but she drove it like that until the motor blew but I know what you mean I dont like them at all
@cargecko007 Believe me, there are worse things about the PT Cruiser than that. Like, these cars are so unreliable and they break easy. And not to mention, for the small size of that thing, it was the worse gas mileage I've ever had! Especially since it's a 4 cyl.
@cargecko007 Lol so true. Here's a story: one time my car was in the dealership for maintanance so I rented a car and they gave me this ..."car"... so I was driving and I honked the horn for a second and the horn got stuck so I was driving for like 5 miles with the horn sounding. I couldnt help it but laugh. Really shows the quality of these pieces of crap. Not to mention how slow they are.
@drewster1515 - I don't like the newer ones (2006+) because i feel like Chrysler killed the PT from that point on. and I own a 2001 PT. 107k on the clock and still going great.
@cargecko007 - Trust me the PT is far from the worse car ever, there is far worse cars then it by a long shot.. and I drive one and I don't fit into either of two spots your talking about. The design is very much so love or hate though.

Something to consider for those who own a PT Cruiser. Chrysler recommends premium gas for the models equipped with the Turbo engine but for those with this standard engine, I personally recommend using mid grade gas (89 octane) over regular (87). I tried this in mine and it has made a world of a difference in it's performance. I feel like I'm getting max power out of the engine and the acceleration has improved quite a bit. Premium isn't recommended for a non performance engine though.

I don't really like to admit it, but these are fairly practical and surprisingly roomy and easy to drive(not that you'd want to be seen in it though)
As usual with Chryslers though, the quality sucks. My grandma's 2009 PT horn broke already, the car has less than 20,000 miles on it!

@braydenmartindale That is true, it has also dropped in popularity. These are the main reasons I can hardly see any of them on the road nowadays.

@lakeb0dom I see lots in my area but they all seem to be first generation, maybe that was a little more reliable than the 2nd generation or maybe it's just a coincidence.

@braydenmartindale yea i was looking @ pt crusisers when i was lookin for my first car (ended up being a 2001 honda crv) but my first choice was the pt cruiser we kept finding pt cruisers with blown engines at 60k miles.

@braydenmartindale
Have your grandma taken her PT Cruiser to the dealership? For that milleage one could expect a dead fuse, not the horn itself. That´s what happened with my previous car, a 2000 Stratus after 85,000 miles. After the fuse replacement (10 bucks at much) its horn was working again like new.
luisinhoens90 9 months ago
@luisinhoens90 I checked the fuses myself, they were good so we took it to the dealer, Chrysler said they would charge even though it's in warranty, so we took it to our regular mechanic and hey told us the horn itself was seized.

@braydenmartindale
Sorry to hear that, but at least it wasn´t a major part (engine, tranny, suspension, steering. . . ). After that previous car I got I have learned to trust in Chryslers, they can be quite reliable, at least mine was that way.
luisinhoens90 9 months ago
@luisinhoens90 Meh, every Chrysler I have ever personally owned has been horrid, two of them had complete transmission failures and one engine started burning oil before the coolant system eventually blew up. I heard quality has improved but the 2009 PT Cruiser doesn't seem to show it!
I'll be sticking with Volkswagen and Subaru from now on, both of them have been so reliable and good to me. Plus, my brother has a 2003 VW golf TDI and the thing has over 400,000 miles on it still going strong!!

@cargecko007 they are okay when it comes to gas mileage but my aunt had a 01 cruiser and it developed a overheating problem and if you would put it in neutral and rev it up it would cool back off but she drove it like that until the motor blew but I know what you mean I dont like them at all
schindlerman96 9 months ago
@cargecko007 Believe me, there are worse things about the PT Cruiser than that. Like, these cars are so unreliable and they break easy. And not to mention, for the small size of that thing, it was the worse gas mileage I've ever had! Especially since it's a 4 cyl.

@cargecko007 Lol so true. Here's a story: one time my car was in the dealership for maintanance so I rented a car and they gave me this ..."car"... so I was driving and I honked the horn for a second and the horn got stuck so I was driving for like 5 miles with the horn sounding. I couldnt help it but laugh. Really shows the quality of these pieces of crap. Not to mention how slow they are.

@cargecko007 whats wrong with the pt cruiser
drewster1515 9 months ago
@drewster1515 - I don't like the newer ones (2006+) because i feel like Chrysler killed the PT from that point on. and I own a 2001 PT. 107k on the clock and still going great.
@cargecko007 - Trust me the PT is far from the worse car ever, there is far worse cars then it by a long shot.. and I drive one and I don't fit into either of two spots your talking about. The design is very much so love or hate though.
