Build Quality

As you would expect of DaimlerChrysler the build quality is excellent and there were no intrusive rattles to contend with. The materials used are of a very high standard and should prove durable in the long term.

Value For Money

The PT Cruiser is excellent value for money and the 2.2 CRD Limited model at £17,200 offers a high level of standard equipment at a very competitive price. The diesel engine is both powerful and surprisingly frugal returning a combined figure of 40.9 mpg.

Overall Opinion

With its 'love it or hate it' styling the PT Cruiser is certainly not a vehicle for shrinking violets as it attracts attention wherever it goes. I must admit that I was a bit dubious of its styling to begin with but on driving it I was really impressed. The build quality is excellent as its is cruising ability. If you are looking for a multi purpose vehicle that offers excellent fuel economy, performance and distinctive styling then the PT Cruiser is the vehicle for you. It just goes to show that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
