Chrysler PT Cruiser - 2005 Review

My 2005 PT Cruiser sedan is now three years old. During this time, I have found the FWD Cruiser to be a very comfortable and cost-effective vehicle. The driver's seat can be raised / lowered automatically by the small switch on the left side of the driver's seat. There is a manual lever for adjusting the lumbar support area and one to adjust the back of the seat.

The trunk door opens very easily. Because of the size of the door, a good-sized item can be placed into the back area. This is especially so when the back seats are lowered to open up the cargo area. Because of my height (5'3"), I find the cargo door a little difficult to close, even with the convenient hard bar.

The manually adjustable vents for heat and air conditioning allow for comfortable climate distribution to all passenger areas.

 A major dissatisfier is the location and (lack of) ease of operation of the tire jack and the spare tire. Pray that you don't have to change a tire in the snow or rain because you will become very wet and cold. The jack can be found at the very end of the cargo space. The spare tire is held to the bottom of the car. It is extremely difficult to maneuver.

 Overall, the PT Cruiser if an excellent vehicle for its size and price.
