Chrysler PT Cruiser
Compact HatchbackProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Chrysler PT Cruiser is an affordable compact hatchback in production from 2000 to 2010. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.6 to 2.4 liters.
Unfortunately, Chrysler released what many consider the ugliest car in automotive history in its attempt to come up with something "retro". Moreover, the vehicle had a range of rather unreliable engines, and outdated automatic transmissions were used. Unsurprisingly, the PT Cruiser doesn't even have independent rear suspensions.
The interior fit and finish are horrible, as was the ergonomics.
