The new 2010 combines the iconic heritage-styled design, efficient passenger cabin space, fuel-efficient four-cylinder powertrain and industry-leading quality in a new model loaded with legendary value.

The PT Cruiser is, in a way, emblematic of Chrysler’s problems these days. It is a pretty good car that seems tired mostly because of familiarity. It doesn’t seem like it would have taken much to get around this problem, but Chrysler didn’t have what it takes, however small that was.

You have to admire the idea of an affordable, stylish car that has impressive functionality, and the PT Cruiser tries hard on all three fronts. Base price is $18k, which is reasonable. The design is different, and there is evidence of non-generic thinking inside and out. And the rear seat room, along with cavernous carrying capacity, really makes this a practical choice.

The 2010 PT Cruiser Classic is a 4-door, 5-passenger sport-utility, available in one trim only, the Classic.

Upon introduction, the PT Cruiser Classic is equipped with a standard 2.4-liter, I4, 150-horsepower engine that achieves 19-mpg in the city and 24-mpg on the highway. A 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.
