Type any car name, up to and including the super exotics, into Google and you'll find someone bashing it as a POS. I love how everyone bashes the Cruiser but EVERY company now has an upright, 4 cylinder "crossover" wagon.

To me, it is one of the best riding cars, the "FIT" of the seats, fit me exactly.

Re: Review: 2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser is a tarnished Golden Oldie
What hurts this car more than anything else is the fact that the turbo has been severely downgraded in hp, and saddled with an automatic. No wonder its less than impressive these days. The lackluster performance reviews would read MUCH differently if they still had the 230 hp H.O. turbo and 5spd manual.

I read most of the posts to this thread. Most of those folks just don't have the good taste in automobiles that we have.
 Long live the PT!

Re: Review: 2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser is a tarnished Golden Oldie
I think what they said in the article was pretty accurate. Chrysler has allowed this car to just rot and not updated it at all. And the Dream Cruiser is just a bastard stepchild. Those rims and the grille dont even come from the same time period, design wise, and look like they belong on a 1990's car--not a vintage car! With all the cool things owners have done, they couldnt get inspired more than that? Must have been some leftover parts they had sitting around from an old Acclaim or something.
I love my PT--but I am the first one to say it does not have the features I would like, especially in the electronics area. I am jealous as I watch my friends plug in their iPhones and talk, while I use the speaker phone or a headset with mine. Nor can I access my music. Unless I want to spend a bunch of money. The electronics are very 1990. Maybe older folks dont miss or mind this, but I do.
