Frequently asked questions

What PT Cruiser trims were offered near the end of production?

For 2009, the wagon lineup included Sport, Touring Sport, and Limited Sport. For 2010, Chrysler simplified the range to one trim, called Classic Sport here and also described as the Classic.

Are Classic Sport and Sport the same PT Cruiser trim?

No. Sport was the entry trim in the 2009 lineup, while Classic Sport was the all-in-one trim for 2010. The later Classic Sport folded in several conveniences and appearance items that had previously sat higher in the range.

What does Touring Sport add over Sport?

In the 2009 lineup, Touring Sport adds a four-speed automatic, six-way power driver’s seat, fold-flat front passenger seat, steering-wheel cruise controls, and power mirrors. Both use the 150-hp non-turbo engine.

What does Limited Sport add over Touring Sport?

In the 2009 lineup, Limited Sport adds a 180-hp turbo engine, leather-trimmed seats, heated front seats, a power sunroof, four-wheel disc anti-lock brakes, low-speed traction control, and a touring suspension.

What's the difference between Sport and Limited Sport?

In 2009, Sport is the straightforward 150-hp entry wagon, while Limited Sport is the loaded 180-hp turbo model. Limited also brings leather, heated front seats, a sunroof, stronger brakes, traction control, and a touring suspension.

Which PT Cruiser trim has the turbo engine?

Near the end of the run, Limited Sport is the turbo trim. The 2009 Limited uses a 180-hp turbocharged 2.4-liter engine, while the 2010 Classic Sport returned to a 150-hp non-turbo engine.

Which PT Cruiser trim is the simplest choice?

The 2009 Sport is the simplest late-run trim. It keeps the 150-hp engine, air conditioning, power windows, remote entry, an auxiliary audio input, and the flexible removable rear bench without the richer Limited equipment.

Which PT Cruiser trim is better for everyday comfort?

The 2009 Touring Sport is the comfort-focused middle choice. Its power driver’s seat, automatic transmission, cruise control, power mirrors, and fold-flat front passenger seat add convenience without moving to the turbo Limited.

Which PT Cruiser trim has leather and heated seats?

The 2009 Limited Sport has premium leather-trimmed seating and heated front seats. It also includes a power sunroof, making it the most comfort-focused late-run wagon trim.

Which PT Cruiser trim is better for carrying long items?

Touring Sport and Limited Sport are especially useful for long cargo because their front passenger seat folds flat. All late-run trims retain the folding, tumbling, removable 65/35 rear bench.

What equipment comes on the final Classic Sport trim?

The 2010 Classic Sport includes the 150-hp 2.4-liter engine, four-speed automatic, 16-inch aluminum wheels, chrome exterior accents, trip computer, cruise control, auxiliary audio input, and removable rear seat.

Do the late-run PT Cruiser trims have the same brakes?

No. The 2009 Limited Sport has four-wheel disc anti-lock brakes and low-speed traction control. Four-wheel disc brakes were also folded into the lone 2010 Classic Sport, while the provided equipment does not establish the same setup for every 2009 trim.
