Summary:
Easy to maintain, with plenty of cargo space
Faults:
Purchased my PT Cruiser 2006 Nov, drove for 6 months without any problems.
In the 7th month, I noticed a leak on the ground front right side. After about 3-7 days, the leak increased. It was my water pump!
Estimated repair about $1,368.36. wWrk completed was new water pump, belts, timing chain and (1) motor mount.
No other major problems have come up, except things that should be maintained on any used car.
I have replaced windshield blades back and front, oil change every 4 months and filters. As of yet I have had no tune-up; the car really did not need a tune-up, but it must be done this year.
Out-side body and inside clean, well cared for by the previous owner.
Does not get good gas mileage, since gas went up in price I was paying $20.00 for regular and my tank was full. Now I need about $25.00, maybe $30.00 to fill up.
General Comments:
Car handles well on the road; the tires grip the pavement firm.
Seriously quick on take-off.
Love the inside console, has everything to offer; CD, cassette, (4) plug in for cell phone chargers, or whatever you are charging, computer notebook.
Safety back windows for kids.
