I had a ton of fun making this and put a lot of time into it, I hope you guys enjoy!! Really sorry about that blurry gopro footage though lol. Gonna be doing a couple little mods to the PT GT and filming some neat videos this weekend so be sure to stay tuned!!!
Pt Cruiser has become a legend and a classic out of the US. Ask the owners, Pt Cruisers fanclubs everywhere.. I have a 2008 and still drive it around. I love it, family loves it. Welcome to the dark side, lol.
We bought a new one in 04 woody it served us well at a160,000the transmission went out so we found a dream edition for parts the transmission was different stall heavier built at 300,000 we passed it the kids and they destroyed it the recently bought a 07 replaced the head gasket î 2s a very nice car until a lady ran into it totald it out now I just bout a 08 W/P chry edition basket case with 120,000 miles I've got it running but has miss fire which probably helped caused the belt to shred I'll be putting in new censors today it's a clean car that we got for 500
So glad someone appreciates these like I do. Bought my 07 for 700 bucks (first car)only had 120k needed motor mounts and an alternator. Year an a half later and over 13 thousand miles and she still runs like new
I've owned 3 different PT Cruisers over the past 12 years (still have 2 of them) and loved them all. Great little cars with a nostalgia look. You ought to see my GT Convertible with factory HiPo 2.4 and Turbo with special 5 speed gearbox. I't's got 2 tone paint with 1950s "Moon" wheel covers, Lake Pipes and dual exhaust out the back. I get turned heads, thumbs up and smiles wherever I drive it. ;-)
My father has had his 04 since 2009 and he just put 200k on it. It still runs pretty good, and he said he will keep it until it dies. I asked him why he love it so much, and he said because it was small and fun to drive. Hopefully when it "dies" I could buy it from him.
I own a 2008 pt cruiser touring (NA 4 speed automatic) my family bought it new in 2009, drove it for 10 years all year round. From 40 degrees Celsius summer days to snowy minus 40 degrees Celsius (I live in canada) the car never let us down, my dad totalled it in February of 2019, I took ownership of it and rebuilt it. I personally love the car, super fun to drive and always puts a smile on my face. Super practical car, very impressive interior layout, perfect daily driver. Reliable with very little "common problems". Very large sight lines, no blind spots, large mirrors ect ect. Issues to watch out for are the power door locks somtimes can be faulty, rust on the rocker panels and rear fenders on higher mileage cars and if you're looking to buy one in the 135000kms-170000kms make sure the timing belt and water pump are replaced because it is an awkward job due to the shape of the front of the car. There really is no better car on the market that can beat the pt in practicality, reliability and value, if you truly like these cars and are willing to take care of one, buy one, you wont regret it. - cheers and happy cruising!
I have a 2004 PT Turbo limited edition with only 75,000 miles. I LOVE IT. I will never give it up. It's a blast to drive, fast as hell. When I pass someone this car flys by at a very high rate of speed. I will never give it up. P.S. If it needs repairs, yes it's a pain. BUT cars do need repairs. In order words, they a FUN to drive. 👍❤😎
Im legit buying one from a disabled marine veteran but its a ptgt minty fresh couldnt be happier i found it and hes willing to hold it till my claim money comes
Thanks, great thoughts on the PT GT. I just purchased a 2004 PT GT 5 speed and am really enjoying it. I've done a few videos on it on my channel. Great to see the car getting some love here, it really is a special car that nobody seems to give a chance.
I Own a 2003 Limited Cruiser which is on the Mend, because I Lost the Love for it. I use it now for all of my detailing experiments and it is Standing tall once again.
I found a 04 pt gt 5speed 162k miles black with some clear coat peel in areas for 1900 I’m thinking about snagging you convinced me I have a big turbo srt4 neon now but I wanna make a little sleeper no one will expect I think it fits the bill well lol!
Awesome! I just picked up a 2005 PT GT Black autostick model at the auction! Excited to get building on it! I have a lot of neons and eventually want to get an srt4, but this is a great start at 1/5 the price for the same motor!
My wife an I purchased a 2005 Cruizer convertible in 2006. We still have it an it is still a great car. It is no longer the daily driver but it has somewhere around 240000 miles on it. We still enjoy letting the top Dow an going for a cruise I am quick to correct people when they call it a pt looser.
I bought an 2006 recently for 350 bucks in pretty good shape, as a retired mechanic I don't mind working on it but I'm disappointed in the fuel mileage.
I have 2 . Lucy the 03 gt turbo. Betty the. 04 limited platinum. I love them. They have been reliable but now need some more maintenance. Even mechanics hate them but will overcharge for services gladly. Thanks for your chanel.
I bought my preowned 20 owners a 2001 Limited -non urbo with 2800000kms for $500 CAD, spent already $3000 CAD replaced everything from the bottom, 50% of the car is new, just need to touch up on the body, sound completely upgraded and everything done all by myself with the help from this Channel. Why do I like it, its because everybody hated it. I've nicknamed my (P)iece-of-shi(T) ~ PTcruiser. Its not a Turbo, not as fast nor snappy as a Turbo but It turns heads and I'm the only PT on the street as far as I can see, that makes me special ;) and I feel 20 years younger which I am now 48.......
i completely get you, feel the same my pt got totaled and felt i lost my best friend. The pt was parked on the street and some car ran into it - my heart felt in the dumps about it. Although I loved i - it cost lots of repairs to keep it running so probably won't get another one but always have good memories.
Pt cruisers are the best ! Maybe not the best sports cars but those engines can take a lot of punishment ! I have my 2002 PT Cruiser limited edition and the engine has taken a lot of punishment from me . Transmission as well ! I wanna buy a new one and start fresh bcuz I messed up my cruiser and I still have it but I miss it so much ! Amazing cars!
I just turned 200,000 km approximately 120,000 miles on my 2001 Limited and the timing belt went in mine. It's not a cheap fix but I know the car and to me it's worth repairing. I actually use this car for courier and delivery. I enjoy your videos
I liked it since they came out, and I was finally able to afford one. Sitting position and parts availability is awesome. If it was built let's say under Honda or Toyota badge people would probably give it less hate.
I've owned a 2001 Limited Edition. I'm the original owner and pretty much know everything about how they work. I would like to contact you to share tips about Pt Cruisers.
I have had my PTGT since 2012. Any time I have to work on it, I curse it. But, as soon as it is fixed and I get back in it, I can't get over driving it. My girlfriend is about to leave me over working on my car more than hanging out with her. I hope she gets over the jealously.
great video! I have an 03 GT auto model myself, owned it since new, and it's a great little car!, very little wrong with it, parts are dirt cheap, quite reliable, only work I've done on it was regular maintenance, or when the engine light came on, but those were easy fixes! I've never been made fun of in person or by friends, only online, but the internet is a dumping ground for opinions/A--holes anyways. i get more phone calls at the parts store I work at, for euro cars than any other car! THEN they complain "why so expensive?!?!" well sir, it's a BMW!
Its basically a copy of a 1939 Ford 4 door sedan, but with a 1937 Ford slant back front grille, instead of a '39 vertical front grille. The new body dimensions are probably very close to the 1939 model.
My comment should have read, they fit the PT Cruiser engine into the SRT. Also the NA PT Cruiser is not slow. I’ve had both the GT and the NA. The automatic may have been slower but I’ve only owned standards, four in total.
The transmission is also different has a higher stall I put one in a N/A it had a larger torque converter/ flex plate and the starter was different as for the slap shifter didn't make a difference
I have pt t.e turbo and I am trying to decide if it’s worth to money into it to be good all around but not sure I would like to know ur thoughts on it!!
Even the Touring/Limited cars with their turbo engine is basically the srt motor. Its just de tuned in the ecu to run on regular gas and put out less power. From 04 and up, the turbo injectors were the same which is a good factor. In any form, these are great cars. I'd put it over all day every day.
You need to check your facts a bit more. The SRT got the engine from the PT Cruiser. The power output was the same but the Neon was much lighter than the PT so it gave better performance.
I have the 2005 Dream Cruiser 4 Series convertible with the 2.4 HO turbo and only 39,000 original miles. Sadly Kelly blue book values top out around $2800 and I even checked to see what Carvana would pay me for it. Are you ready? - $250. Yes, $250 for a 39k original mileage turbo convertible. These cars get zero respect and certainly deserve more.
@@diedonner299 A car is worth what people are willing to pay for it no matter WHAT a book says. We love both of ours and will hope to find another low miler someday when ours quit. Somewhere in an "old rickety garage" is a one owner, original lady owner PT with my name on it. Even if I have to ship it to me across the US. ;-)
I don’t really like the first few years of the pt cruiser (before the 2006 facelift) the ones after facelift looked pretty good actually. My favorite is the 2006 Sebring, pt cruiser,and 300c 2006 was a good year for Chrysler in my opinion. (Even tho the Sebring got a facelift in 2003-2004. But my all time favorite Chrysler is the 1934 airflow ,52 imperial and a 2016 Chrysler 200 and the 2004-2006 2.7.
I just bought a 2008 na pt as a winter beater and I love driving it ,but it did just spring a leak that I got to find . I would love the turbo one to replace my Optima ex turbo 2013.
carlos amador I’ve got an 02 5 speed with 160 k miles on it. I’ve replaced the timing belt and that’s it. Even the muffler is still oem. Such a good car.
So, what if you dont necessary want one but it’s the only thing you can afford that actually moves? Because literally my options are one of these or a cavalier lol
I live on the Island of Jamaica and have a PT Cruiser 2007 the horn on the steering stop working i tried Amazon but didn't see any if u know how i could get a steering with the horn fixtures working please let me know, thanks.
Ava Gates Check either the electric radiator fan or it’s relay. The fan is two speed and should run faster when the AC is on. The fans are not expensive and quite easy to install. It fixed my overheating problems
Your high speed of your fan motor is burt up Ihave had that problem with mine with 235 thousand miles I have replaced my fan motor 3 or 4 times. onmy 2001 that I bought new and that has always fixed it hope this helps
@@rangerider9091 also check the fuse for the fan too mine just got replaced today overheated yesterday... also the radiator cap is tricky... if you dont deliberately push and turn it TWICE it will only be partially sealed... and...if you find a burnt fuse and replace it you will need to clear the codes to eliminate that annoying "check engine light" any autozone or similar parts store will clear the codes for you
You want to really see the dark side of car culture get yourself an 80's Fiero, you think you get hate for a PT the Fiero guys get it many times worse. Well until they show up with a 3.8 supercharged one or one with an LS swap, and of course the headlights......pop up and down headlight!!
The 2nd gen got a slight bump in hp....from 215 to 230. The factory did some different tuning on them. I have an 07 GT (stick shift) and it is tons of fun to drive :)
@@ARDrummer sweet so its even better. I'm thinking of getting an 09/10 pt turbo 5-speed and use the stock turbo in it and then upgrade to the srt4 caliber 2.4l becuase the produced 285hp and i would love to make 300hp min, then it would have as much power as a golden commando v8 did.
@@tylerlooney8058 That would be cool! Driving a stick is pretty fun :) I'm not sure they still produced PT turbos in 09/10. I think they stopped by then, not 100% sure though.
I have a PT and a Trailblazer. PT, though it runs bad it has never stopped running... the trailblazer seems to be in the shop every other day though lol
I had a ton of fun making this and put a lot of time into it, I hope you guys enjoy!! Really sorry about that blurry gopro footage though lol. Gonna be doing a couple little mods to the PT GT and filming some neat videos this weekend so be sure to stay tuned!!!
Howdy! I've got '93 first gen S10. Will be replacing transmission soon, can you do a video on how to properly install the tranny?
is that a Cadillac Eldorado in your garage, I have a 1985 Cadillac Eldorado biarritz, just like the white one you have. but in gold

They are nice cars when they are working properly the bad thing is that they are always breaking down and hard to work on

Such a good car.
I have two 01s one which has over 220678 miles on it and in limp mode still driving me daliy
I was wondering are the NON turbo 2.4 engines on a 07 non interference engines???? google says they are but want another opinion.
Another good video brother! How do you feel about the visibility in the cruiser?
I got two of them u need this hood got it for $20 bucks at junkyard my wife got a dream cruiser 02 mine 01
I just got a pt cruiser touring edition stick shift. Wish it was a gt. Is there anything I can do to upgrade it close to that
Actually they fit the PT Cruiser into the SRT.
What about some roof bars uh?!!
So, what if you dont necessary want one but it’s the only thing you can afford that actually moves?
Because literally my options are one of these or a cavalier lol
Dang I just gat one from my grandma and I smoke dope lol I always wanted it tho time to retire my 2008 Camry with 318,000 miles

Try timing chain on Equinox or Terrain real expensive
As long you realize this car requires more maintenance than usual. It is not as bad as the media claims, but it's no Toyota.

@@terencekellymybestscooters2415 thanks I'm also check and see if this the issue.
@@rangerider9091 also check the fuse for the fan too
mine just got replaced today
overheated yesterday...
also the radiator cap is tricky...
if you dont deliberately push and turn it TWICE it will only be partially sealed...
and...if you find a burnt fuse and replace it you will need to clear the codes to eliminate that annoying "check engine light"
any autozone or similar parts store will clear the codes for you
You want to really see the dark side of car culture get yourself an 80's Fiero, you think you get hate for a PT the Fiero guys get it many times worse. Well until they show up with a 3.8 supercharged one or one with an LS swap, and of course the headlights......pop up and down headlight!!

Is the pt gt's srt4 the same as the 2nd gen pt 2.4l turbo's?
The 2nd gen got a slight bump in hp....from 215 to 230. The factory did some different tuning on them. I have an 07 GT (stick shift) and it is tons of fun to drive :)
@@ARDrummer sweet so its even better. I'm thinking of getting an 09/10 pt turbo 5-speed and use the stock turbo in it and then upgrade to the srt4 caliber 2.4l becuase the produced 285hp and i would love to make 300hp min, then it would have as much power as a golden commando v8 did.
@@tylerlooney8058 That would be cool! Driving a stick is pretty fun :) I'm not sure they still produced PT turbos in 09/10. I think they stopped by then, not 100% sure though.
All pt turbo's are the same as the srt4 with mopar stage 1 no difference their
Nah, Why would I want a PT if I could have a TrailBlazer! XD
I have a PT and a Trailblazer. PT, though it runs bad it has never stopped running... the trailblazer seems to be in the shop every other day though lol
@@keeganembr1744 I have both too and it's the opposite 😂
@@davidrohac503 Luck of the trade I guess lol. Trailblazer is like 100x comfier to drive in though
