The distinct styling of the PT Cruiser gets jazzed in 2002 with the addition of factory customization via flame accent, wood panel, or Dream Cruiser Series 1. The latter shouts its Inca Gold coloring in a limited edition offering of 7,500 North American units. It features a numbered plaque on the dash, 16-inch chrome wheels, and color-matched grille, bumpers, body-side moldings, door and leather seat inserts as well as Dream Cruiser floor mats. Beyond the cosmetic enhancements, the vehicle is all PT Cruiser. Among the standouts: fold/removable seats as well as a patented multi-position shelf. When equipped with the 150-horsepower 4-cylinder engine, PT Cruiser shows why it’s dubbed cruiser and not accelerator. The interior layout stands apart from many vehicles – much like the exterior – but a few appointments could be relocated. Case in point: the up/down window buttons on the backside of the center floor console. It’s an easy reach for back seat passengers, but the driver also needs easy access to the controls. With 4-cylinder power, PT Cruiser earns miles per gallon estimates of 19 city/25 highway. Suggested base price for the vehicle is $16,200. The Dream Cruiser Series I, with a manual transaxle, carries a suggested price tag of $23,170.
