2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
Whether you like it or not, there's no denying the
innovative styling of the Chrysler PT Cruiser. And while
the unique front end of the PT Cruiser gives it a highly
polished look, the price tag certainly causes people
to do a double take. An exceptional value for the amount
of appointments that come standard, the PT Cruiser has
become an instant favorite in the compact car class.
New for 2003 is a turbocharged PT Cruiser that ups
the horsepower rating. This GT model joins the Base,
Touring Edition and Limited Edition. All PT Cruisers
have a four-door wagon body style and seat up to five
passengers.
Under the Hood
The Base, Touring Edition and Limited Edition are equipped
with a 2.4-liter engine with 150 horsepower. The new
GT adds on 65 horsepower to the same engine, resulting
in a total of 215. 5-speed manual transmission and 4-speed
automatic are both available.
A redesigned engine cylinder block assembly, cylinder
head assembly and crankshaft add to the Chrysler PT
Turbo engine's reliability. In addition to the powertrain
enhancements, a specially tuned suspension enhances
the Chrysler PT Turbo's on-road performance. For safety,
all models come with dual front airbags. The Limited
Edition adds front side airbags, while the GT adds antilock
4-wheel disc brakes.
Standard Features, Options Packages and Style
The new GT keeps the differentiation going with its
exterior style package. Its body color monotone front
fascia features a larger, lower grille to feed ample
air flow to the turbo intercooler, while the new body
color monotone rear fascia sports a larger exhaust opening.
All 2003 PT Cruisers receive the following standard
appointments, and then some: air conditioning, power
steering, tilt steering wheel, front bucket seats, fold-flat
passenger seat, under-seat storage bin, center console,
split folding rear seat, power windows, AM/FM/CD player
and digital clock. Naturally, uplevel models feature
more and more standards as you go up the line, while
options packages add even more to the selection
The distinguished PT Cruiser delights owners with its
unique styling, and it certainly doesn't disappoint
with its performance and comfort either.
