Very nice looking inside and out!!!
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser?
As I've seen, every one says the gas mileage could be improved. My thing says it's averaging about 23mpg, but it doesn't seem like it.
2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Review:
Overall, I really like this car. I have only had older cars in the past. This is my first newer one. I have been very concerned about the car when it idles it will jump - I think when the compressor goes on and off with the a/c. This is the only thing that has scared me about this car so far.

It is so low on the ground. On two occasions I turned around in someone's driveway (in the city) and front end dragged and knocked off little unnecessary plastic thing below front bumper.
2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Review:
I bought car 19 months ago. I have put only 10,200 miles on it during that time and it has been in shop 3 times. Gas tank was replaced, (crack on top), radiator fan replaced, thermostat replaced. Overall, I am very unhappy with it.

Brakes and rear lights (should have been a recall on the rear lights). I have had nothing but problems with them.
Fabric seats stain too easily.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser?
I love the exterior and the way it "looks". That's about it. Also like that I can park it anywhere...lol. They only need an oil chage every 4,000 to 5,000 miles--really. My oil is clear. (that is good ladies).
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser?
Idles loud. Car sounds like it will fall apart.
Replaced battery and starter after only 65,000 miles. Bought the car at 35,000 miles at a dealership mind you...
Replaced rear brakes. You should only have to replace your rear brakes ONCE every 100,000 miles. Replaced front brakes and rotors.
Replaced tires. Very expensive, 450 dollars.
These cars stain easily. Bad material used inside the car.
Replace tie rods, and front control arms. 150 bucks a pop!! :(
2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Review:
Bad gas mileage, too much work on the suspension system, and the tires are damn expensive. I was very disappointed after I bought this car. The CD player does not want to play burned discs. I regret ever buying it.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser?
It's a really cute car and fun to drive.
Good gas mileage.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser?
The brakes make a horrible squeaking sound. Sometimes it sounds like someone running their nails down a chalk board.(shutter) Took it to the dealer. They said the brakes are in good condition and squeaking brakes is normal for a PT Cruiser????
Seats stain real easy.
2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Review:
The brake situation doesn't make any sense. Other than that I like everything else about it.

"READ" MY CAR HAD ONLY 2600 when these problems stated. We have had more problems with this car then any other. We had to replace 7 new sets of tires. Do to the Drive train and front axle going out. Had to have it replaced. Then the air cooler went out. The CD player Works only when it wants. The brakes have been changed completely twice. And now the turbo has gone completely out. And there is only 43000 miles. You talk a LEMON NEVER AGAIN WILL WE BUY A CHRYSLER. With every thing we have done with this car.

I own a 2.4HO turbo. FAST. Feels solid.

Better fuel mileage (average 17-18 MPG).

2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Review:
Good car @ 9000 miles. Horrible car at 34000 miles. Runs poorly, rough idle, dies at sharp turns, tires replaced and front bushings wore out, oil being sucked into air cleaner, ticking sound from top of engine, rock chip on front bumper started small turned into 50-cent-piece size, 17 MPG average. will not consider another Chrysler.
