2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser GT 2dr Convertible

Overview

Chrysler PT Cruiser combines the retro look of late-'30s American iron with modern performance, efficiency and features. The Chrysler PT Cruiser comes in two body styles: a five-door hatchback/wagon, which Chrysler calls a sedan; and a two-door convertible. The sedan is available in four trim levels: base, Touring, Limited, and GT. The convertible comes in Touring and GT trim only. All PT Cruisers are powered by a 2.4-liter, twin-cam four-cylinder engine. In base, Touring, and Limited versions, this engine is tuned to deliver 150 horsepower. A five-speed manual transmission is standard, a four-speed automatic is optional. A 180-horsepower turbocharged version of this same engine is optional on Limited sedans and Touring convertibles. A 230-horsepower High Output turbocharged version of the 2.4-liter four-cylinder is standard on the GT. This engine comes with a heavy-duty five-speed manual transaxle made by Getrag; a four-speed automatic is optional. For 2006, the PT Cruiser sees a significant facelift and a horsepower increase in the GT model. A more affordable 180-horsepower turbo is also available. The base model convertible has been dropped.
