yeah man...kept having probs with the Sebring stalling out on me...after several new parts and a trip to the stealership (and $300 poorer) I got miffed and traded it for a 2007 PT Cruiser convertible. I was shocked that he had no problem with me keeping my wheels but I wasnt going to complain. The PT has 17k on the clock and the remainder of factory warranty to 36k. I got the car for $14700 so I didnthink that was bad at all since its $2k under KBB.

I've already swapped to Syntec oil and added a K&N drop in filter while removing the silencers from the stock airbox. The car goes in the shop tomorrow for magnaflow crossflow muff and twin tailpipes. I plan to add a downpipe & hi-flow cat later to let the turbo breathe better.

I snapped a few pics in my fave photo spot.

NOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wait until you have to work on the motor ... its such a tight fit lol ... they arnt bad cars ... there is just no room for anything i have had to do some bodywork on one at school


but hey if you like it ... SCORE

My cousin, 50 yr old woman, just got one, but in that UGLY yellow color!!!

HAHA, it's cute!
You and Corey would look great together driving your rides together!

Wait a minute, that things turbo? Jeez. Good score I guess, if YOU dig it then thats all that matters!

im pretty sure they have the 2.4T.

And yes, we would look cute cruising together

Sorry about the sebring but I like the color. There is a guy in my area with the same color but a 4dr with the turbo and he has 20 inch black ten spoke wheels on his, looks real good.

How much hp does this pt have, I didn't know they had the turbo for the convertible.

right now its rated at 180...but that was on 87 fuel and before any mods. I've been reading and you can easily get way more out of it and actually help the gas mileage instead of hurting it (unless you drive with your hair on fire of course)...I can add exhaust and a stage 1 box from mopar performance and she jumps to 235hp. Bigger downpipe and hi-flow cat will get you another 5-10hp. You can really turn this car into an animal if you want. I like it cuz it reminds me of the old 32 ford hi-boy roadster...and its a lot more comfy than the Sebring as well.

My daughter said it was a cutesy girl car until I took her up the road for short ride...then it was "holy hell this thing is insane!"

A PT loser?

Well I hope this chrysler product is better quality then your last one.

my friend has a PT Cruiser Series 3 Dream Cruiser with the 2.4 Turbo. Hes got the Upgraded PCM, exhaust, and a bunch of other stuff(cant remember for the life of me). He took my friends stock GTP by 1 car length already and that was only with an Upgraded PCM! Now after he did exhaust and the rest of the stuff he took the GTP by about 1.5 car lengths! These cars have an amazing amount of potential!

I ain't got much for PT Cruisers. They're Neons with a different body and have just as many problems. At least yours has a different engine. Tail lights are also bad for condensation.

I don't know how much you're desiring a vert, but some of the best compact Chryslers are those made by Mitsu like mine. The 2-door Sebring and Stratus coupes (Sebring vert doesn't count). They're a whole different animal from the Chrysler products and you can use just about any Eclipse engine upgrades.

see here now...loser?...no need to be insulting. :p

I think this is a better car than the Sebring, for one the body structure is much better for a convertible and the turbo 2.4 is stout in comparison to the 2.7...plus I've seen clips of some of these cars going like mad at the dragstrip. I'm personally not headed in that direction.
Overall I've had very good luck with Chryslers...I only hope this one turns out to be half as good a car as my Intrepid was...whenthat car finally gives up the ghost I'm gonna give it a Viking funeral.

in the first pic, anyone notice the irony of that shot? It even had the lights on. Nice timing, Tim.

haha just realized that!

When I saw the inside of my cousins, that retarded shifter really stuck out!
Interior is blah. But I do like your color and wheels. Her yellow PT is just plain UGLY!
She had a solstice, then a new cute eclipse, that I liked, then she got this ugly PT, I was like are you insane!
She goes, well I get tired of driving the same car quickly.

The Turbo PT Cruisers have the Neon SRT-4 Engines in them. So pretty much any mod that you can do to an SRT-4 you can do to the Cruiser. I LIKEY!!!!
