The CHRYSLER PT CRUISER (2000-09) 5DR ESTATE 2.4 16V ROUTE 66 AUTO4 is a compact five-door estate with retro styling and a roomy, upright cabin. In the UK it offers an individual alternative to mainstream family hatchbacks and estates, combining useful space with a distinctive, American-inspired look. The 2.4-litre petrol engine and automatic gearbox suit relaxed everyday trips, errands and commuting. Rear space makes it practical for couples or small families, while its unusual design and easy-going character set it apart from rivals such as the Ford Focus Estate. It favours personality and an upright driving position over low fuel bills, so budget-conscious buyers should check running costs. mycarcheck.com has only two checks for this model, covering two VINs, so these figures are a limited snapshot.
