Having seen the '04 Dream Cruiser, and an occasional '02, I think the '03's Tangerine Pearl is the best color so far. Some of the "Aztec(?)" gold '02's make me think of mustard; others seem ok, particularly in bright sunlight. But the two-tone Navy over Silver '04 sure is a throwback, to police cars of the '20s and '30s!
I enjoy my Cruiser, except for the mileage; no better than 15 mpg, but then I only have 3000 miles on it. We'll see. Though I like the Sirius radio and subscription that came with it, I can't foresee taking the Cruiser on a long trip that a satellite radio seems best suited for. Now I think I should have tried to have that radio swapped out for one with a cassette player (and Sirius?) and added the 10 disk changer. Ah, but that's how you learn things; experience.
My PT GT has seen a very slow increase in mpg since new. The mpg started improving at about 3k and is up about 12% to 17.5. Still not great and the small tank makes for a short range. I've seen 25 on the freeways, but 23 is the norm.
Mine came with the CD and cassette radio. Personally, I like the nav radio, though I might miss having the cassette and don't like having to install a CD changer so I could listen to a CD and use the nav at the same time.

& Silber my ride!
Wow, that is not good at all. Others have reported such low numbers. With the last fill-up, I made around 25MPG, and that was a mix of driving and some pretty high RPMs on shifts. No not to red line, but above the 4K RPMs on shifts. I will keep track on each fill, but so far it is 24 to as high as 29.68 on one good run. I can easily get 20 to 25 in a mix of driving, with 20 the low if mostly in town, shorted runs. I do have a stick though, so perhaps that is the difference.
I guess you could try taking out the back seats to save weight. That could save 1 MPG.... well maybe???

*Have you had trouble with it starting?
*Does it have good traction or will i have problems with sliding?
Those are the two main things i want to know. Anything else you could throw at me to help my decision would be appreciated.
Thanks
