Open top cruising in now available in the PT Cruiser. A hoop-like body stiffener remains erect when the convertible top is down. The unique design of the convertible allows for some nice features like pass-through cargo storage, foldable rear seats and interior dome lighting. The base engine is a 150hp I-4, with an optional 180hp turbocharged version.

Six new colors and minor standard equipment changes. The high output turbo GT models have been dropped.
