2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser Review:

Even though it is placed in the compact car class, the Chrysler PT Cruiser is anything but a stuffy vehicle. Its innovative design allows for a large amount of cargo room, which in turn accounts for one of the prime selling points of the unique model.

Another selling point of the Chrysler PT Cruiser is the safety package. The 2004 model offers available remote keyless entry, an engine immobilizer, rear door child protection locks and the LATCH child seat anchorage system. In addition, all PT Cruiser models include a unique transverse beam in the vehicle’s body structure to protect occupants in the event of a side-impact collision.

The big news for 2004, however, is a newly optional 180-horsepower engine. It slips into the middle of a now three-pronged engine attack. As a stand-alone item, customers can pick up the new engine without having to deal with any other potentially unwanted items.

Under the Hood

The first engine with the front-wheel drive PT Cruiser, standard with base, Touring and Limited Edition models, is a 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder model capable of producing 150 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 162 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm. It can be mated to both 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmission.

The new engine is optional with Touring and Limited Edition models. It is a 2.4-liter turbocharged inline 4-cylinder with 180 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 210 lb-ft of torque at 2800 rpm.

GT models are the quickest of the lot. This is due to their unique 2.4-liter turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine, which cranks out 220 horsepower at 5100 rpm and 245 lb-ft of torque at 2800 rpm.

Standard Features, Options Packages and Style

The four-door PT Cruiser seats five and provides 64.2 cubic feet of cargo volume. While there are four different trim levels offering different degrees of standard equipment, what the PT Cruiser is really known for is letting buyers customize their vehicles. 

One of the options carried over and expanded from 2003 is the Chrome Accents group. It adds bright pedals and a new leather-wrapped steering wheel with Satin Silver painted spokes to all of the features in the previous package (a chrome/body-color front fascia, chrome bodyside moldings, exhaust tip and door lock knobs and front door sill scuff plates with bright winged logo inserts).
