1997 Chrysler Cirrus 4 Dr LX Sedan
Review
I haven't had the car that long and only put maybe 6,000 on it over the last 2-3 months I had it. Not sure because the tack (or whatever the thing that tracks mileage is) doesn't always work. The inside is well designed and roomy. Has cup holder issues. Great stereo, lots of bass for stock. It got me to school everyday and so far to work everyday. Not something you wanna drive from Michigan to Florida because of the gas
Favorite Features
I like the v6, plenty of power for a car this size. excellent stereo.
Suggested Improvements
Better gas mileage. easier to remove the stereo. the front cup holders, not everyone drinks those little cans of pop, a 20 oz barely fits in there, if you put it in park you have to move it.
Why buy Japanese?

Review
This vehicle has been in the shop once in 11 years for a minor repair other than normal service. I have consistently gotton 28 to 30 mpg and it handles as well as most sports cars. I have driven everything with 4 to 18 wheels and cannot understand paying 30 to 45 thousand for bells and whistles when this car can still be purchased in the low 20's.

171,000 miles and still going

Review
The car was purchased at 95,000 miles. I knew the person & needed something inexpensive. I you are the kind of person who will do oil changes every 3k-4k, transmission serviced every 30k, do the major overhaul/tune-up at 100,000 and again at 160,000 and not abuse the car over bumps/road, this car will last and last. At 171,000 miles now, its no luxury vehicle compared to what's on the road today but it is cheap to operate and and gets pretty good gas milage for a car built in 1997. If you are thinking of purchasing one with lower miles (if you can find one), I'd only purchase if you can be shown repair records. I figure this car will last till 200,000 miles.
Favorite Features
Great handling if equiped with quality tires.
Suggested Improvements
Very hard to work on the motor i.e. difficult to access removal/installation of parts.

Just bought this car and had to replace the ball joints, and needs brakes. I like the body style and interior. I am concerned with some of the reviews, I have never had a problem with any Chrysler's I have ever owned, hopefully this one won't disappoint me!
Favorite Features
Radio, spoiler, comfortable seats!
Suggested Improvements
None
