They are simply round indentations in the center console. The innovative vent system goes a long way toward reducing interior noise. Indeed, our only noise complaint is minor - Chrysler could reduce the wind noise around the front pillars. Wind noise still seems to be lower than in other cars of this price class. Probably our largest concern is rear visibility.
Parking can be difficult when backing up because it is hard to see behind the car.
The rear pillars are also wider than we would like, for visibility. It is very reasonably priced, seems well made, is based on well-tested components, and looks great. It is no surprise that Chrysler can't make enough of them. We have lots of Chrysler PT Cruiser information, as well as several forums and Cruiser dealer reviews. Click here for our site directory .
