    I'm sure having an automatic plays a significant role in lower mpg. In addition, the GT seems to be 'on boost' with hardly any pedal pressure. Boost = more fuel used. The EPA numbers were not high for the 2003 GT automatic and I am getting about what I expected. I've seen 25 for high speed freeway driving twice, but 23 is the norm. In my part of SoCal, freeway speeds are usually very fast and hills take extra fuel too. On top of that, having a black car in SoCal means A/C operating nearly all the time - another mpg reducer. We didn't buy our PT GT for fuel economy. We bought it because it is fun to drive and practical too.

    I've heard others at meet and greets report mpg similar to yours as well as an equal number reporting lower mpg. Mpg is so greatly effected by how one drives as well as road and traffic conditions I tend not to use what someone else gets as an indicator of what I will get. I have found the EPA numbers are reasonably good at indicating which vehicle gets better mpg or worse mpg, but not the mpg one should expect.

    I guess that is true. Whenever I go down your way I do notice the freeway is moving rather fast. I think driving through Fallbrook and Rancho Bernardo one weekend traffic must have been doing 85 plus up and down those hills. My driving is a bit more laid back. I drive about 20 miles down the Mountain from the Arrowhead area in the mornings and I doubt if I touch the gas for 80 percent of that drive. The drive home uses more gas but there is a bit more traffic so I am not mashing that hard on the gas then either.
  • vocusvocus Member Posts: 7,777
    I usually average 19-21mpg on regular in my 03 auto Limited. I have 3750 miles now, and still going strong. I am usually at 65-80mph on the highway, and do stop and go city driving everyday as well.

    I made my first visit to the gas pumps today and filled up my 2004 GT Turbo. I cannot remember the last time I bought premium gas and what a time to start with gas at $1.99 a gal. at Costco in Chino Hills. I can't wait to get some mileage on it so the visit to the pump will not be so often. It only has 150 miles on it so it will be awhile. My wife has a 300M and it is like a miser next to the turbo.
  • fndlyfmrflyrfndlyfmrflyr Member Posts: 668
    Only $1.99! Some stations are approaching $2.40 in San Diego and should be close to $2.50 by next week. Haven't filled in two days and prices have been increasing about 3-4 cents per gallon every day for over two weeks. Prices up over 50 cents per gallon in the last couple of weeks.
  • boaz47boaz47 Member Posts: 2,747
    That some problem in Arizona has caused problems in California. Just got back from a funeral for a friend in SC and gas was under $1.50 a gallon. Got back to California and it was almost 2 bucks.

    I went by the dealer yesterday to have my car detailed and to get a cargo net. They told me since I bought the car there they would give me a discount. The invoice showed a price of $83.79 and a net price of $48.00. I told the parts guy that I had heard of people buying them for $40.15 and he just looked at me. So I payed $48.00. Talk about gas, They told me they would have filled my tank if it had not already been full.
    :-( I drove by Costco today and noticed premium had inched up over $2.00. I wonder what it will be at by Labor Day? I have a grandson who is stationed at Coronado, who is in the Navy Seals. My wife and I will be flying up to Boise, ID for his wedding in two weeks.

    Since I bought my PT a year and a half ago, I took it on it's first significant trip, from Maryland to Western North Carolina. I was impressed how well it did. The gas mileage was at or above the EPA estimates with a low of 27 and a high of 30 mpg. That included lots of hill climbing. The trip ran about 11 hours and at the end of the trip there was no sore back or discomfort. This is the first time I can remember travelling for that long and not climbing out of the car like an arthritic hunchback.

    I even managed to keep my 6 and 9 year old sons from killing each other on the trip. :-D
  • vocusvocus Member Posts: 7,777
    Here in MD, gas prices are inching up on what seems to be a daily basis. I thought the price would be going DOWN and not up, but hopefully that will change soon. Thank God I don't have to use premium gas anymore, it's up to around $1.90 a gallon and I drive wayy too much to be paying that much for gas!
  • fndlyfmrflyrfndlyfmrflyr Member Posts: 668
    Crkeehn - We noticed the seats were quite comfortable in the PT too. While I prefer a bigger seat, the PT's isn't bad at all. Longest sit has been about three hours with no problem.

    I've sat in the back seat of our PT a number of times and found the back seat very good too. The only complaint I have when in the back is lack of A/C airflow. It does get cool enough in back, but it takes a while.

    I've seen EPA highway mpg a couple of times on my GT automatic (25). Still, 25 isn't so good compared to many cars today. My 96 Avalon does about 20% better and uses regular not premium. Interestingly, my PT GT weighs about the same as my Avalon and both have four speed automatic transmissions. I suppose the freeway mpg difference is due to the difference in aerodynamic drag. Years ago, my old Volvo 740 turbo, which weighed a little less than the PT GT got about the same mpg as my PT GT and it also had streamlining like a barn door.

    Charlesf1 - You can sometimes get better prices from certain dealers and many after market vendors if you are a member of a national or local PT Cruiser Owners Club.

    Enjoy the flight to Boise. Might even cost less than driving. Even more fun if you could be the one doing the driving (the plane). I've see coast to coast airline ticket prices of $99 plus tax (about $250 round trip, including tax). In my PT GT the gasoline alone would cost more than twice that.

    While it's not mine, I wanted to pass along the sale of another PT. My mother-in-law traded her 2002 PT Touring Edition for an inferno red 2004 PT Cruiser GT this afternoon. While she loved her old PT, she wished she had leather, sunroof, bigger wheels and more power. Now she has it. Between our 2 Chrysler vans and her 2 PT Cruisers, we have bought 4 Chryslers in the last 2-1/2 years. We ought to be Chrysler's favorite customers by now!
  • vocusvocus Member Posts: 7,777
    Any word on how your mother-in-law did on her trade-in of the 02? I was wondering about how well the PTs hold their value since their demand has subsided somewhat since the introduction.
  • uga91uga91 Member Posts: 1,065
    She got $12k for her 2002 Touring Edition. It had no leather and no sunroof. It had automatic, chrome wheels and upgraded stereo, but that's about it. It was real low on miles, though. She paid about $2500 under MSRP on the 2004 GT. I think she did pretty well.
  • neoncruiserneoncruiser Member Posts: 1
    has anyone had problems with their air conditioning? I recently bought a 2002 PT Cruiser Limited Edition. I love the car and the way it drives...5 speed is great...mileage not so good. However the air conditioner has quit. Had it in the shop 10 days after I bought the car and it broke while i was in las vegas at 112 degrees. Drove all the way home with no air. They recharged it and drove for another two weeks, and it started screaming while returning from Phoenix at 115 degrees. New compresser and dryer installed on a friday...quit cooling on Tuesday. Recharged...on a Wednesday, drove to Yuma (110 degrees) and it worked fine. The next day...no air. Went to the dealer there and they diagnosed the problem as needing new lines and something else...called my dealer and got him to order the parts the Yuma dealer determined were needed. They took the car in yesterday and are waiting for parts. Luckily they gave me a rental car....I asked the guy in Yuma if he could just recharge the system to get me home, and he said the lines had holes. The recharge wouldn't last a half hour. Do I have a mechanic problem or a lemon...or a fluke? Anyone else had any air conditioning problems?
  • lngtonge18lngtonge18 Member Posts: 2,228
    It's possible that if your compressor malfunctioned (or too much freon was added) and caused too much pressure in the AC system, your lines would literally explode, thus explaining the screaming noise your heard and the holes in your lines. I would say your AC problems are a fluke. Good luck!
  • uga91uga91 Member Posts: 1,065
    I'm no mechanic, but it sounds as though you have a faulty check valve. I had a 1993 Caravan that did this in 1996--kept quitting for no apparent reason, until they found the bad valve. Good luck.
  • vocusvocus Member Posts: 7,777
    Miles, that is. :) I turned 5000 this past Friday night since purchasing on July 9. The only problem so far: My 65lb. shepard/akita can't fit in the back without putting down the back seat and thus getting her white hair all over my grey leather/suede interior. I also wished for a tighter turning circle in the beginning, but have gotten use to the fact that it takes more space to make a U turn than my Jetta did.

    Mileage has increased to about 23mpg since getting the car, so I have no complaints there. No problems to report so far either. Glad I took a chance on Chrysler and American cars in general, I am happy with my selection.
  • uga91uga91 Member Posts: 1,065
    That's great to hear. As I have posted in the past, between me (and my wife) and my mother-in-law, we have bought 4 Chryslers since the Spring of 2001. We have been happy with all 4.
  • ctujackbauerctujackbauer Member Posts: 18
    Has anybody had any problems with the Dex-Cool radiator fluid yet? I have been reading reports of problems with Dex-Cool fluid in 96+ model GM cars, and was wondering if that applied to the Cruiser (I have an '03).

    Also, does anyone use synthetic oil in their PTs? I probably would not switch to synthetic until after my 3y/36,000 is up, but I could be convinced ;) So far my '03 PT has been great, no problems at all. I only have 8,000 miles, but they have been all trouble free. The reason I asked those two questions is that I would like to keep my PT forever *knock on wood*.

    Forgot to add my gas mileage is like everyone else, its no bueno, usually 16/19 if I'm lucky.
  • crkeehncrkeehn Member Posts: 513
    I believe that the Chrysler specifies that only Chrysler coolant be used.
  • boaz47boaz47 Member Posts: 2,747
    any problems with the coolant. I also use synthetic oil. I have from the first oil change. It cost me more but I figure I will be keeping this car for a long time. I have to change it more than necessary for the warentee but I feel better about spoiling my car from the start. Synthetic lubricates better and holds up to heat better than most oils. If it is going to be good for your engine after 36 months think how far ahead you will be if you always use it. I doubt if someone that changes their oil every 3,000 miles will have any problem anyway but I fell it is a small investment to go with the good stuff anyway. I also use a quality filter, in my case a Mobil one but others have some good filters as well. I believe I will be required to meet the oil changing schedual for 100,000 miles however. I just don't feel as bad if I let the car go to 5,000 miles before changing oil.
  • fndlyfmrflyrfndlyfmrflyr Member Posts: 668
    Have used synthetic oil in every car, except my VW diesels, for nearly 30 years. My VW diesels used a lot of oil and having to add so much was like doing a continuous oil change, making synthetic too costly to use.

    Used to change to synthetic at 1000 miles, but have switch to first scheduled oil change based on car manufacturer oil change schedule. Usually see a decrease in oil consumption after switching to synthetic. Years ago I would also see a small mpg improvement after the switch to synthetic, but have not seen that with the last several cars.

    Synthetics can take a lot more heat that regular oil and are a good idea for turbo/supercharged cars. The turbocharger gets very hot and therefore the oil lubricating it does also. In addition, some engines, including normally aspirated ones, have 'hot spots' that can overheat oil. Mercedes and Toyota had some a few years ago. In those engines, regular oil would tend to gell due to the heat, which caused poor lubrication and rapid engine wear. Synthetics offer better protection for this situation too.

    Many manufacturers recommend longer oil change intervals, depending on driving condition, than the old standby of 3000 miles. Today's regular oils are very good and most likely do just as well as synthetics unless there is a temperature issue.

    Synthetic oil costs $3 to $4 more per quart and over the life of a car can add several hundred dollars to routine maintenance costs. Like insurance, it isn't free and you hope you never need it, but it tends to give one comfort knowing that it is there. Using synthetic oil that meets the manufacturer's oil requirements (most far exceed) will not void the warranty.
  • ctujackbauerctujackbauer Member Posts: 18
    I think I'll switch to synthetic, I wonder if my dealership (it had its 5 star revoked) has synthetic oil. If not I'll have to change it myself, just like my 1984 Dodge Charger Shelby :)

    I guess I'll keep the orange radiator fluid in my car for now :)
  • fndlyfmrflyrfndlyfmrflyr Member Posts: 668
    My dealer uses Mobil-1 when a customer asks for synthetic. If you DIY, Wal-Mart frequently has 5 quart jugs of Mobil-1 for about $20, just under $4 per quart.

    I change my own (more convenient for me) and found the oil drain plug and oil filter to be easy to reach with all four wheels on the ground. No ramps or jacks needed. However, the end of the oil filter is very close to an exhaust pipe and I had to narrow the band on my band type oil filter wrench to fit between the filter and the pipe.
  • vocusvocus Member Posts: 7,777
    Finally got time to take the car in for its first oil change, at 5300 miles, this past Wednesday. The change was free, and I also had them check the car's alignment (Baltimore's roads are terrible, so I thought I knocked it out). I got a rental for the day, a Cavalier (why do they still sell these cars again???).

    I asked them to check the driver's window, which made a funny noise once or twice when lowering it. Turns out there was condensation inside the rubber, and rubbing the glass causing this noise. But, the service advisor said he checked all the windows and one of the rear ones sounded weird. Upon further inspection, he said the right rear window regulator was bad. They ordered the part and it will be in this week. I think it's funny for 2 reasons. One, I didn't even know that a problem existed, but the dealer found it on their own. And two, I had a VW (which are famous for the regulator problems) and never once had a problem with them, but had a problem with the PT's.

    Anyway, now at 5600 miles and still liking the car as much as the day I took it off the lot. Also, fuel economy is steady at about 23mpg, so it definitely has improved.
  • crkeehncrkeehn Member Posts: 513
    The PT Cruiser has had a run of bad window regulators. They manifest themselves through loud squealing noises as the windows go up and down. My wife had her drivers side window regulator replaced, the good news is that it hasn't returned. I have had no problem with mine.

    It sounds like your dealer is being proactive. Things will go wrong, the question is how the dealer handles it. Your dealer handled it.
  • vocusvocus Member Posts: 7,777
    I didn't know there was a problem with the regulators though. I am actually taking the car back tomorrow (now with 5800 miles) to get the part replaced.

    Good luck to everyone on the East coast in battling the hurricane. Here in MD, they already closed all schools and half the businesses on Thursday, so I think they are expecting one heck of a storm. Everyone stay safe out there! ;)
  • fndlyfmrflyrfndlyfmrflyr Member Posts: 668
    This forum has become very quiet lately. I see my local dealer is offering $5000 off msrp for 2004 Cruisers (all except base model). Have US sales fallen way off?

    To be candid, as much as we like our PT GT we'd buy a 2004 Prius today. Drove one yesterday and came away very impressed.
  • ctujackbauerctujackbauer Member Posts: 18
    The market for PT's are pretty bad. According to the WSJ, they're on a 141 day supply selling at their current rates (meaning they have enough 2003 inventory to last until Valentine's Day). The WSJ also said they lowered production in the Mexico PT plant too.

    On to your point about the Toyota Prius, well, I really agree there. I test drove a 2001 Prius a couple years ago and I was really impressed. The '04's seem so spacious for a car. I'm getting about 17-19 city-highway mileage with my PT. Maybe its that I drive 30% city miles, but I'm lucky if I get 18 a gallon. I fill up 12 gallons at a time every 210 - 230 miles.

    I love my PT, but the gas mileage isn't as advertised. I'm still impressed with the initial quality. No problems except for a tire going out (the Goodyear tire set me back 70 bucks). Maybe I'll keep it for 3 or 4 years, I don't know.
  • fndlyfmrflyrfndlyfmrflyr Member Posts: 668
    I didn't know the supply was so big. Explains the huge discounts. We love our PT too, but the Prius seemed like a luxury car by comparison.

    More room, much quieter, better ride, more safety items, and more luxury items for a sticker price thousands less than my PT GT. The almost triple mpg is an added plus. The one we drove had voice activated navigation (or use the touch screen), a fully automatic A/C system. a really nice sound system, and more. Curtain airbags and stability control, along with xenon headlights are available too and it would still sticker for less than my PT GT.

    My PT GT is much quicker, loads more fun to drive, and probably can hold more stuff inside, but I'd rather take a trip in the Prius and save money at the pump too.

    I didn't expect good mpg from my PT and my 17 mpg overall is about what I expected. No complaints about the mpg. I've seen as high as 25 on the highway, but 23 is the norm. It isn't driven much, so the cost of poor mpg isn't excessive.

    BTW, I've have two Goodyear tires that are giving problems. Goodyear won't take care of the problem. None of the Goodyears that came with the car look like they will last even 20,000 miles so the Goodyear problem will go away when I put a different brand on the PT in a few months.
  • vocusvocus Member Posts: 7,777
    I have been getting around 20-22mpg filling up, about 300 miles per tank. That's not really as advertised, but I also don't drive 55mph on the highway either (more like 65-75 usually). I like the car though, it's got loads of room inside for stuff and people and it's easy to maneuver in traffic.

    I seem to have a grip problem with the right front tire. I always seem to squeal the tire a little bit when taking off, even with light throttle. Goodyear tires have always given me trouble anyway, so I will definitely select a different brand when these need replacing.

    So far, 8700 miles. The only problem was a window regulator that went bad and the dealer replaced without me even knowing it was bad.
  • daolettedaolette Member Posts: 4
    Any info out there on these devices for PT's.
    Any reviews by impartial parties regarding the performance of various brands. Any feedback helpful. Just got 01 with 3,800 miles.
  • fndlyfmrflyrfndlyfmrflyr Member Posts: 668
    Cold air can mean a bit better response and a bit more power, but don't expect much. Suggest you visit some of the PT Cruiser groups (PTOC, PTE, PTCC are three big ones) online for more detailed information.
  • vocusvocus Member Posts: 7,777
    You also have to remember that CAIs can suck in water to the engine if the area you live in gets alot of rain. I know from experience with VW that the dealer might void your warranty if they find such a device on your car. Don't know about Chrysler dealers though, because I haven't had experience with them in that department.

    I actually have to take my car in one day this week for this buzzing sound in the right front. Sounds almost like a molding's loose or something on the right side of the windshield. No signs of it though, and no water leaks or anything. Considering the roads I travel over on a daily basis, I am surprised the car hasn't developed a load of rattles by now, but it hasn't. I have about 9700 miles right now, just had my second oil change on Thursday, and still very happy with the car.
  • crkeehncrkeehn Member Posts: 513
    This may sound basic, but did you check for leaves. I don't know how loud your buzzing was, I had a buzzing on the drivers side. It turns out I had a leave underneath the windshield wiper so that it wouldn't blow out it just vibrated. When I opened the hood, I also had a few other leaves between the hood and the fender although they weren't the causes of the noise. Tis the Season.

    The PT seems to have a very tight body, neither my wife's or mine have any rattles and this will be their third winter each.
  • fndlyfmrflyrfndlyfmrflyr Member Posts: 668
    Rented a 2004 Touring automatic from National over the weekend while I was on a trip. Ride was better than my 03 GT and the car was much quieter too. The outside rear view mirrors have been changed a bit with what looks like small additions that redirect airflow around the mirrors and front side windows. Wind noise was much less than my 03 PT GT. The car was quite peppy away from a traffic light too. Much better than I remembered from a coupe of years ago.

    This car had the chrome package - grille, gas filler door, door spears, chrome wheels, door lock pulls, chrome inserts on the front door sills, chrome shifter bezel, chrome trim on the steering wheel, and metal trimmed pedals. Looked nice.

    It could use the formerly standard rear sway bar to get rid of the swing and sway when one drives any way but very easy. It feels like my GT did before the rear bar was added.
  • ptcruisin1ptcruisin1 Member Posts: 3
    Do they have a rear sway bar standard or not?
  • fndlyfmrflyrfndlyfmrflyr Member Posts: 668
    Rear bar was not standard on 03 and apparently not on 04 (the 04 touring I rented did not have one).

    During the early part of the 03 model year GT window stickers showed the rear bar as standard even though the cars were built without the rear bar. The rear bar was installed by the dealer on mine, after purchase. It looks the same as the 01 and 02 standard rear bar.
  • ptcruisin1ptcruisin1 Member Posts: 3
    That would explain the tndency of the car to 'hop' sideways a little when hitting a bump when turning. I noticed my 03 does this sometimes, and it feels a little unassuring. Someone I know who has a 2002 base model said his is very troublesome in the snow, because the back end doesn't stay planted. I guess this change was made in the 02 model year, like you said. I might have to look into having the rear bar put on my 03.

  • crkeehncrkeehn Member Posts: 513
    I had no problems with my 2002 base level PT last winter and we had an unusually large amount of snow for the Baltington area. We found that both my wife's touring edition and my classic handled the snow just fine.
  • ptcruisin1ptcruisin1 Member Posts: 3
    The car seems well planted to me, but the only thing I don't like is when I hit a larger bump in the middle of a turn, it makes the back end feel unstable a bit. Haven't driven the car in snow yet, but it's pretty surefooted in the rain.
  • fndlyfmrflyrfndlyfmrflyr Member Posts: 668
    Doesn't snow around here. I find the back end does quite well wet or dry, but the front tires tend to spin in the rain. However, the traction control keeps things under control.

    Crk, took me a while to understand Baltington. I moved from that area about 24 years ago in the midst of a blizzard (16 inches on the ground when the moving van arrived and over 30 when it left). My old 78 Caprice did fine without snow tires. It did have limited slip (positraction) and that helped me get out of Ellicott City and onto the interstate heading West. I have a feeling my Cruiser would do at least as well.
  • crkeehncrkeehn Member Posts: 513
    The Baltimore Washington Corridor has become one entity. So close together and so densely populated, the distinction between the two cities has faded more and more.

    The area can certainly fool a person with the weather. We can go for years without little or no accumulation of snow and then hit a period with very heavy snowfall. When I first moved to my present house, we were hit immediately after by a series of storms that kept dumping more and more accumulation. Then we had a series of years with more "normal" snow and then last year we were hit hard again.

    I missed your Ellicott City reference in the post. Although we live in Anne Arundel County, our church is located in Ellicott City. it made it fun getting home from the Christmas Eve service as it had started snowing while we were up there and just kept on snowing.
  • graphicguygraphicguy Member Posts: 13,665
    Although I no longer own my '03 PT GT, I found that even with the "sport tires" that the trac control did an excellent job in the slushy stuff. On top of that, I drove it every day in what turned out to be one of the worst winters in recent memory last year in the OH valley.

    What did you get to replace the PT GT. My wife wants a 2004 Prius to replace ours.
  • graphicguygraphicguy Member Posts: 13,665
    I really didn't want to get rid of my PT GT. Had someone who was anxious to buy mine. At the time, the turbo GTs were still scarce on the new car lots. So I drove it for a year and sold it to him. Only took a $1,500 hit, but still drove it for a year, so I felt OK about it.

    I'm intrigued by the Prious, but eneded up getting an RX8....have never been more pleased with any new car I've ever had in 25 years of buying cars.

    From everything I've read, the Prious is a very nice piece.

    My PT is 59 day old. It has rained on twice and went through one hell of an earthquake! I love it. It's peppy, roomy, comfy, and very purple. My recent (mostly freeway) mileage was 33.8. My only complaint is a feeling of the transmission slipping when leaving from a stop. I can actually induce a double slip if I pretend I have come to a red light which suddenly turns green, and this is NOT a "California stop". Service tells me all is normal.

    Since 1979 I drove Camaro Z28's or Iroc's. Then in 1999, my husband brought home a Chev Lumina LTZ because I thought I had grown up, and needed a grown up car. Them the PT came out but I couldn't imagine driving a 4 cylinder. (I need to get out of the way of the people I pull out in front of.) So then the Turbo came along & I decided I wasn't so grown up after all.

    I love my cruiser - here on the central coast of California, Cruiser owners waive or thumbs up other Cruiser drivers, - but I'm wondering if this is really normal for this car?

    I also have a "misfire" problem when pulling a small incline at 45 mph. Service tells me their computer says my cars computer check out "OK" for both symptoms.

    Any other feedback on these issues?

    I posted a message elsewhere, but I'm new at this and looking for info from other owners.

    Also, how do I find out about a local PT Club I hear exists in my area?
  • fndlyfmrflyrfndlyfmrflyr Member Posts: 668
    PTOC and PTCC have chapters all over the country. Both, along with PTE have very good web sites with many people posting. Many post on all three.

    Our local PTOC chapter meets every month for a meet and greet followed by a cruise. In addition there are national get-togethers as well as regional ones.
