Default Re: 2004 PT Cruiser automatic is very sluggish

Depends what you mean by sluggish. If your used to a Vette (like mine) then yea, it's a bit sluggish. It's a 3000+ car with 2.4 liter engine and it's built for cruising.

The best thing to do is change the plugs and wires, a couple extra pounds of air in the tires and a free flow air intake. That's not going to give you a kick-in-the-pants upgrade but it will make sure your getting the best the PT can give you.

Not being sarcastic, but you should have taken it out for an hour before buying it to see how it ran and then try the turbo model. You probably would have ended up with the turbo.

Happy Cruising.
