Overview: This week I took a vacation from the heavy work requiring a truck. This 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser Touring Convertible begs for a trip to the beach. And for me, who has owned several convertibles, I can vouch for how solid this one is. It was built AS a convertible...

Overview: This week I tested the first (for me) 2005 vehicle of the new car year. This is the 2005 Chrysler Crossfire Roadster. I saw it at a car show as a concept before 2004 and as a reality now it is a very capable little car. The first car that came...

Overview: This week I tested the 2004 Chrysler Pacifica SUV and it seems I never run out of SUV’s to review. They keep bringing them on. Cadillac, Porsche, Lincoln, Mercury, Ford, Chrysler, Nissan, Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Buick, Chevrolet, Dodge, GMC, Honda, Hummer, Isuzu, Infiniti, Jeep, Land Rover, Lexus, Mercedes Benz,...

Overview: This week I tested the 2004 Chrysler Sebring Convertible. This car is a sunshine state kind of car, like California, Florida, Arizona and other southern states in the US. In that environment it is versatile and flat fun to own and drive. Chrysler is distinct in styling and they tend...

Overview: This week I finally got to test-drive the 4-cylinder Turbo version of the PT Cruiser. I had felt back in 2000 that this car / truck / SUV would not only be a trip back in time, the price would surely go up once the demand pushed production. Prices didn’t...

Overview: Boy, how that certain smile, that certain place or that certain car bring back memories like this weeks PT Cruiser Woody. I liked this car when it was introduced and I like it even more today. They’ve been painting them “Candy Apple” colors and of course as a flashback to...

Overview: This week we’ll look at the 2002 Chrysler Town & Country eX. I wish I could convince my kids with young families that vans are cool. They, like so many young folks, gotta have trucks, SUV’s and trendy sporty passenger cars. On the other hand, with so many manufacturers represented...

Overview: This weeks review takes me back in time when convertibles were “the thing”. This 2001 Chrysler Sebring Convertible is right at home in the warm California sun. Somehow these “hair flying in the breeze” cars are best suited to Southern California and the beach scene in particular. For several decades...

Overview: Well – what a joy to drive this PT Cruiser from Chrysler. It didn’t take long to warm up to this relic of my youth and my fond recollection of the rods we’d restore with a few changes. We’d  “hop up” the engine put 40 coats of lacquer paint and...

Overview: This 2000 Chrysler Sebring convertible reminds be so much of the Pontiac Firebird. One difference is that the Firebird is a muscle car with a big V8 and torque to burn the tires of the car. Overall I received a lot of good comments. Shelly says “Oh you’re driving the...
