The saloon with dark windows slinks out-of a heavily locked gate and in the wet evening. You catch a glimpse of the grand wheel arches and also the huge square bonnet against the operating board, as it passes beneath a streetlight. The driver gets the collar of his own trench coat pulled up-to touch his lowslung trilby hat, and his passengers are taking funny-looking violin cases. It is really a scene from just about any classic gangster movie, which is the style the Chrysler design team needed to catch within the PT Cruiser.

There isn't any question about it - the Chrysler PT Cruiser

is definitely a car that stands apart in the bunch of containers on wheels.

are extremely eyecatching in almost any color of the available, be it Cool Vanilla, Dark Plum or Inferno Red. Placing a contemporary twist in the 30s design saloons featured in film noir classics, the Chrysler PT Cruiser has a certain unique charm that grows in the beholder. I really could compare its look to that of the Staffordshire bull terrier - plugugly and stocky at first sight, but with time, showing nobility, character plus lots of approach. Four fundamental versions are in the marketplace, the GT Touring, the Classic, the Cabriolet and the especially badged Course 66 Chrysler PT Cruiser.

Regardless of what you think of the looks to the Chrysler PT Cruiser, there's nothing retro about its functionality. The 2.4 litre Classic model, merely to have one example, wrings a great 105 kW of energy from the 4-cylinder motor at 5200 rpm, plus a credible 214 Nm of torque at 4200 rpm. Despite the gangster appears, there's nothing doubtful or dishonest concerning the management, both. The low-speed traction-control and also the ABS braking do wonders to keep the auto snugly on your way.

Comfort levels within the Chrysler PT Cruiser also have come a long way since the 1930s automobiles it resembles. Keyless entry lets you enter and make a fast getaway, whilst the rear 65/35 fold-and-tumble removable seat lets you to really stash loads of loot within the back. Particularly within the Route 66 form. The Chrysler PT Cruiser can seat the motorist and four cronies fairly comfortably, consequently there is space to spend the entire family. And since while thugs and offense are very well in films but not too much fun in real-life, even the Classic sort of the Chrysler PT Cruiser includes a Sentry Key (registered company) Theft-deterrent System as conventional.

Wear your trench coat and trilby (evening dress and or your opera gloves) and consider this beauty for a spin.
