Review

I have had this car since 2001, my son had it for 2 years and now my daughter has it. 110,000 miles and no problems. I maintain it properly, I changed the timing belt at 90,000 for safety reason, I've had no problems with it. I think i could easily get 200k miles out of it.

Favorite Features

Fast, reliable

Review

I have over 157,000 miles on it and it still runs great and the AC is ice cold. I bought the car new in 2000 and like many went through brakes quickly. I had to replace brakes and rotors before 30,000 miles. Rust appeared on the hood lip within two years, but was out of warranty for miles. There was a recall on the power steering hose; mine blew a year before the recall. I will be giving the car to my son soon and expect it to last a couple of more years.

Favorite Features

Nice acceleration. Comfortable.

Suggested Improvements

Poor quality on hood since it rusted quickly.

Cirrus Had It's Good and Bad Points

Review

The ball joints all had to be replaced, both tie rod ends, both front struts, rotors and pads, rack and pinion, drivers window regulator. But especially, hood rusted through at leading edge (saw this on many others). This all before 65,000. Was good car but had a high maintennce 'front end' (and ignition - wires and plugs). Was garaged and driven normally. Had the 98 Breeze before - same problems but it leaked oil by 30,000 miles to the tune of 1 quart a week. Am glad they stopped making it so I won't buy another. My brother had similar problems with his, plus the notorious 'front wheel bearing' problems.

Favorite Features

Fuel economy. Pick up (when it had it).

Suggested Improvements

Redesign the hood so the water doesn't get trapped under leading edge. Make front end components more durable (much more).

Excelent Car but the brakes

Review

Good car overall, lots of power but needs to be improved in areas like braking, front tie-rod ends, transmission leaks and sturdyness. It looks great, the design is still very modern.

Favorite Features

I like the look of the car and the acceleration on the highway.

Suggested Improvements

It needs better designed brakes for sure, I changed mine every 25,000Km.

Review

For the past three years the only thing paid for other than my car note were oil changes. Great performance and low maintenance costs. Fun to drive. Easy to accelerate when passing other vehicles. Fast off the line.

Favorite Features

Power windows, power door locks, power seats, cruise control.

Review

it's a shame that crysler stopped the cirrus, it's a fun car, that looks great.Unlike my parents cars, (toyota,and ford) i have had NO big problems with mine. Since 2000, the only thing that has happened is that there is 1 rust spotunder the hood,small,and not noticable unless u open the hood,and the window froze once. THE CIRRUS IS A GREAT,SPORTY CAR, WITH REMARKABLE HANDLING AND ACCELERATION FOR A 4 CYLINDER 155HP VEHICLE. IT'S A GREAT CAR FOR ANYONE, AND IT LOOKS,FEELS, AND DRIVES JUST LIKE NEW, 4 YEARS LATER!!!!!! I AM ONE HAPPY OWNER

Favorite Features

GOOD ACCELERATION NICE FRONT DESIGN COMFORTABLE SEATS EVERYTHINGG

Suggested Improvements

THE BACK DESIGN (LIGHTS) COULD USE A LITTLE IMPROVEMENT

Hard fast milea

Review

I use this car in business and usually drive 1000 miles/week. I service it regularly and keep an eye on fluids. It has been reliable with only a transmission servo and oil pressure sending unit going out. It has the V6 and performs well. One of my trips is 460 miles-- Interstate driving at 80 and still get 29 mpg. Comfortable and simple inside. I'm going to try to get 250 or 300K out of it as long as it is reliable.

2000 Cirrus

Review

Comfortable responsive car. Bit noisy, both exhaust noise (probably intentional) and wind noise (really crummy window fit) quite noticeable, along with elevated road noise. Sound system works OK, but sound disappointing. While from a reliability standpoint this is one of Chrysler's more trouble free models, even so you will need to budget more money for repairs. Tires make a BIG difference in handling. Eats front brake pads.

Favorite Features

Comfortable seats, nice big sunroof, roomy trunk, very large range of motion in the driver's seat. Stable ride.

Suggested Improvements

Reliability. As with most Chryslers, at the two year mark lots of stupid things start to go wrong. Work on your QUALITY. For example, outer tie rod ends should last more than 45000 miles and sunroof motors should not fail at 40,000.
