Used Chrysler PT Cruiser

The Chrysler PT Cruiser arrived in the UK in 2000, aiming to bring a sense of nostalgia and flair to everyday driving. Unlike many rivals, the PT Cruiser offers distinctive hot-rod styling and a high roofline – adding character to practical motoring. The car remained on sale until 2008, with a subtle facelift in 2006 that improved the interior and introduced a more powerful diesel engine. While it doesn't match cars like the Ford Focus or Vauxhall Astra for refinement or driving enjoyment, it has found fans seeking practicality with a difference. Generous space, affordable pricing and attention-grabbing design are its calling cards today.

Pros

Distinctive retro design
Practical boot and interior
Very affordable used prices

Cons

Dated, basic cabin trim
Average engine performance
High road tax costs

What are the key safety features of the Chrysler PT Cruiser?

The Chrysler PT Cruiser was equipped with driver and passenger airbags, anti-lock brakes and traction control as standard on later models. Some higher trims added side airbags. The PT Cruiser lacks some of the modern safety features found in newer cars, so it’s wise to check the specs of the car you’re considering.
What engine options are available with the Chrysler PT Cruiser?

Throughout its run from 2000 to 2008, the PT Cruiser offered a choice of petrol and diesel engines. Most UK models came with a 2.0-litre petrol or a 2.2-litre diesel (the latter improved in 2006). There was also a 1.6-litre petrol for entry-level cars and a 2.4-litre petrol in sportier versions, though these are less common.
What are the standard technology and infotainment features in the Chrysler PT Cruiser?

Technology in the PT Cruiser is basic by modern standards. Most models offer a CD player, electric windows and air conditioning, with higher trims gaining alloy wheels and upgraded audio. You’ll find simple, easy-to-use controls, but don’t expect modern touchscreen systems or advanced features.
What is the fuel consumption of the Chrysler PT Cruiser?

Fuel economy varies by engine and model year. The 2.2-litre diesel can manage up to around 44mpg on a gentle run, while petrol versions are usually less efficient at 30-36mpg. Fuel costs and road tax are something to keep in mind, especially for higher-powered models.
What should I check when buying a used Chrysler PT Cruiser?

Look out for signs of interior wear, electrical faults and high running costs. Check service history, pay attention to clutch and gearbox feel and look for rust on older examples. For extra reassurance, The AA Vehicle Inspection service is especially useful for a car of this age.
Are Chrysler PT Cruiser cars reliable?

PT Cruiser reliability can be mixed. Engines are generally durable if looked after, but owners have reported electrical niggles and some build quality concerns. Regular maintenance is essential. As always, a thorough inspection and honest service record provide the best peace of mind.
