Pros: What do you like about 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser?
It's a good starter car. We bought ours to start a family and had only had 2 doors prior, so it's nice and roomy for how small it is. Feel safe in it, not like were trying to win a race.
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser?
V6... nuff said.
2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser Review:
30k on ours, runs fine... Rough rides usually mean rough drivers... this is meant for "cruiser-ing" not racing, gravel travel... well you get it. City driving is pretty good.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser?
I like the looks and have since it came out some time ago, inside and outside. I like the milk white color of mine. I do want to do something on the outside to define it, that says this is mine. It has nice clean lines, looks good and drives great. I love my little P T Cruiser.
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser?
Maybe increase the gas mileage, toward the 30 mpg. I usually have over 25 mpg on trips.

So far, I love my PT Cruiser. I've had it a little over a year. I'm sorry to see that they may be discontinuing them in a year or so.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser?
I like the exterior, the interior, and the upset riding the PT cruiser brings. That is an improvement from the average car.
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser?
I do not like the arm rest in the middle.
I think the front end on the older PT cruiser looks better.
The PT cruiser should have a V6 engine option, which would extend the length of the exterior of the PT cruiser, for superior competition.

2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser Review:
I have had my Cruiser for nearly 2 years. I hate it. It is uncomfortable, noisy, rough riding, has the turning radius of a cruise ship. Road & wind noise is so bad it is difficult to carry on a conversation. Was going to give it to my teenage daughter, but she said "no thanks, I'd rather walk than drive that thing." Also, the front end is so low that it scrapes nearly everything. Can't pull all the way into a parking space, because it will get caught on the curb. This car is not even 2 years old, and starting to see electrical problems. Instrument panel gets so hot I worry that it will catch fire. I would not recommend this car to anyone, and I will be trading mine very soon.
