The CHRYSLER PT CRUISER (2000-09) 5DR ESTATE 2.4 16V CLASSIC is a five-door, retro-styled family hatchback with estate-like practicality. In the UK it sits among compact, people-friendly cars rather than conventional load-luggers: its tall cabin and useful rear space make it distinctive beside more ordinary hatchbacks. The 2.4-litre petrol Classic suits drivers wanting an easy-going, characterful car for local trips, commuting or family errands, especially those who value comfort and a roomy feel over low running costs. Its upright shape, distinctive American-inspired styling and practical five-door layout set it apart from rivals such as mainstream family hatchbacks; it feels more individual than sporty.
