Chrysler PT Cruiser
The Chrysler PT Cruiser is certainly a unique car. It looks completely different to anything else on the market with its chunky, muscular and decidedly retro design, but also offers good levels of practicality and versatility. Aimed at the hatchback genre, it’s excellent for people who want something totally different, and an ideal solution for families. What you get is big slice of American motoring with all the trimmings.
Produced from 2000 to 2010, the regular 5 door hatchback is certainly a head turner, but that’s nothing compared to the 2 door cabriolet which is hard to picture but nonetheless impressive. With over 1 million worldwide sales, there’s no question the PT Cruiser was a popular choice.
Yes it is distinct and quite stylish from the outside, but the Chrysler is one of those cars you either love or hate. It looks like something from the 1950s and has a hardy ‘steelworker attitude about it, which is certainly an attraction. The inside continues the trend with an easy to use layout that’s got retro all over it, albeit a huge amount of plastic. There’s a far bit of cabin space and the boot is a good size, especially with the rear seats taken out. You also get a great range of kit as standard across 3 trim levels.
The PT Cruiser is a lazy car to drive, in true American fashion, and does pretty much what you want. Just point it in the right direction and go. With a solid ride, some light steering and adequate levels of grip at low speed, it’s good to drive as an everyday car. It’s also surprisingly economical with several different engines on offer.
As you can see, there’s a phenomenal selection of used cars for sale here at Motors.co.uk, so it’s very easy to find a cheap second hand Chrysler PT Cruiser. Not only will you be entitled to some huge price discounts, quality will be incredibly high too. So even though it’s been around for a while, any PT Cruiser you see will be exceptionally good.
Clearly then, this is a car for people who don’t want to conform. Not only does it have distinct looks with its retro bodywork, the interior is comfortable and just as stylish. A good level of practicality, a typically ‘Stateside’ driving experience and the possibility to get a cabriolet mean the PT Cruiser is a wonderful choice for families looking for a hatchback type car that breaks all the rules.
