I am the third owner of this vehicle and it has been great from day one. No major problems at all. Great fuel economy, large trunk, and plenty of interior room. A/C still blows ice cold, all power accessories work, and engine/transmission are great. Car has close to 150000 miles on it now and shows no sign of slowing down soon. Loved this car so much I bought an 06 Stratus and have been equally pleased, but still drive the Cirrus for my everyday car and even on long trips.

I bought this car new and it is the best car I have ever owned! I love it. I had only minor problems except for rear brake lines bursting once. I also note the air conditioning is getting weak now. I guess it is getting pretty old and I hope my next car will be as good.

It was my first time "NEW" car
purchase. I do not regret the
selection at all!

After owning a VW Dasher-fun to drive
but mechanical disaster; Dodge
(Mitsubishi) Colt- reliable, great
mileage, but small, poor acceleration,
I wanted bigger w/a little style &
power. Cirrus served well w/6 cyl
providing extra power, comfort,
surprisingly roomy interior, + decent
mileage (26/30). Few probs but all
expensive: computer control module,
then A/C compressor, then condensor,
major brake job, engine mounts went a
early at 90000, but little else
for 7 yrs. Extended warranty (both
dealer & aftermarket) worthwhile. -Pts
for hard to reach battery in driver
wheel well; +pts for battery lasting 5
yrs in AZ.

I bought my Cirrus used in 1998 with
50K on the odometer and haven't had a
problem with her since. I have done
all my own maintenance on the vehicle
even though I am a layman when it comes
to car repair. I have found quite a
few aftermarket parts available and I
have spent a little time at the track.
The ride quality is good and the engine
is peppy. A big bonus is the ability
to carry 5 full size adults.

This is a very nice car -- when it is
working. We have had several major
repairs over the life of the car (we
are second owners, but might as well
have been the first, since we got it
with 9k miles). The A/C was addressed
twice, the 'spark plugs and engine
electrical' many times (until out of
warranty when a third-party garage
actually found the problem and replaced
the alternator/coil assembly), and the
climate controls had to be replaced
once.

The poor reliability of my V6 Cirrus LX
will prevent me from ever buying
Chrysler products again! The styling
is great and it was fun to drive but it
was often in the shop for MAJOR
repairs. The entire air conditioning
system was replaced over one extremely
hot summer and the entire rack and
pinion was also replaced. I'm glad we
paid for the extended warranty when we
bought the car new! At 70K miles the
car began to lurch, accelerate, and
die. Neither the dealer nor an
independent shop could solve this
problem. After $1000 I gave up and
traded it in on a VW.

Never buy based upon "Car of The
Year". This vehicle has been a huge
disappointment,from a bad radiator at
40K (approx); a broken control arm
bracket at 30K; leaking freeze plugs at
60K; car dies at idle and trys to at
highway speeds (dealer twice has not
been able to determine the cause),
clunking noises in the front left
suspension and in the right
rear that no one has been able to fix,
radio display that quit when new and
now the replacement no longer works; an
airconditioner unit that had a kinked
metal tube that would not allow it to
cool below 80, door panels where the
paint scratches off around the hand
rest...

I have just learned that our Cirrus with only 30,000 miles is in need of it's THIRD HEAD GASKET REPLACEMENT . Yes..THIRD! I called Chrysler and all they are going to do is charge us a % to have the head gasket replaced again.. and by the way, there IS NO GAURENTEE that the $$$ we put into it will be the end. After searching the web, I have learned the Chrysler Cirrus has te same engine as the Neon.. yes.. the neon which is known to have head gasket troubles.. and of course Chrysler DOES NOT stand behind their cars..Thank you Chrysler... And I hope this will help a future buyer from being scammed as we were.
