2001 Chrysler LHS Consumer Reviews

Chrysler LHS - Wish they still made them

2001 Chrysler LHS 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Review

Bought this car new 6 years ago - have taken numerous trips in it, including a 6 week vacation with enough clothes for the whole trip - never a major problem - great comfort - lots of room in car and trunk. Chrysler luxury cars have all the features of the more expensive luxury cars at a lot smaller price. This is our fifth one, but now we are in a quandary because the 300 series is so ugly - If you find a used LHS to buy, get it!

Favorite Features

Amount of space, CD and tape player, auto heat & cooling - the system figures out which is needed - memory drivers seat - everything about it - my 2nd favorite car ever, only behind a Chrysler New Yorker we had about a decade ago.

Suggested Improvements

In 96,000 miles I haven't found anything I would like to improve other than perhaps the color of the interior - I wish it matched the outside

Best car ever owned

Review

Had two Cadillacs before this car. Fell in love with LHS design when it first came out. Waited two years and monitored owner bulletin boards until all bugs and complaints seemed to have been worked out.

Favorite Features

Love the BIG trunk. Can get two full size golf bags, two full size suitcases and two medium suitcases in it with room for odds and ends. Very few other cars can do this. NOTE: the new 2005 Chrysler 300 trunk is way TOO SMALL. I shocked the dealer salesman when I said I'd buy one if all would fit.

Suggested Improvements

None. Great car. Just make a 2005 model with same size trunk!!

My LHS

2001 Chrysler LHS 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Review

This auto has been an overall joy. My only critical comment is that the MPG could be better (~22-24 HWY) for a 6 cyl. I've had it now for almost 5 years and all components have worked well. I had expected the interior to be a bit quieter on the Highway given that this is a lux sedan - but folks share that when I change the ORM tires out (about another 30K miles) that will change. No wind noise to speak of which was a big improvement over the last auto. Even today it still is a sharp looking auto - haven't seen anything else that zings me to trade it in. Engine is smooth and has enought spark to make it out of tight spots with little if any delay. Sound is really good with the BOSE system.

Favorite Features

Really good bucket seats, superior sound system, and sharp handling.

Suggested Improvements

I'd like just a little more space between the brake and gas pedals. My wife would like split temp controls.

Great Car!

Review

This car is true luxury! I really love the spacious interior and the spacious cargo area. The ride is very comfortable with little outside noise. The audio controls on the steering wheel makes for easy control of music. My only complaint is that visibility at the back is limited by the high seatbacks and humped trunk. An excellent investment, however, and luxury at a relatively low cost.

Favorite Features

Big cargo area! Audio controls on the wheel; comfortable and safe ride!

Suggested Improvements

Ground clearance should be higher. Limited visibility at the back when parallel parking. The tilt-down side mirrors really come in handy!

Great Value!

Review

I truly believe there could be no better value in a luxury car. Everything from style, comfort and performance cannot be beat at this car's price. My wife and I have driven this car 55000 miles and have yet to put a single dollar toward anything other than routine maintenance. It is a pleasure to own and drive, and we get daily compliments on its appearance and style.

Favorite Features

We love our LHS's unique style and interior size and comfort. It has very good performance and the acceleration is great when needed. We also enjoy its many convient comfort features, such as the heated seats, steering wheel radio controls, and personal memory settings.

Suggested Improvements

A little to much road noise is evident in passenger area. I Would like to see Chrysler give these cars better sound insulation. Also, sun glare off the dash can at times be pretty harsh.

Review

ONLY PROBLEM IS WITH CHROME TRIM ON WINDOWS. APPEAR TO BE MANUFACTURED WITH FINISH TARNISHED. CHRYSLER BACKED PARTS BUT TOOK PATIENCE WAITING FOR DELIVERY. LOTS OF ROOM IN FRONT AND BACK. CAR IS LOW TO GRD AND FRONT IS OFTEN TOO LOW FOR CURB HEIGHT. OVERALL LOVE CAR.

Favorite Features

SPACE IN FRONT AND BACK. SMOOTH RIDE

Suggested Improvements

RAISE GRD CLEARANCE. ESPECIALLY IN FRONT.

NEW OWNER

Review

I've had my LHS a couple months now and so far I love it! I did get a manufacturer's recall to replace some bolts on the drivers seat but other than that, so far so good!

Favorite Features

I love having the radio/CD/cassette controls on the back of the steering wheel to change tracks or turn up the volume!

Suggested Improvements

I have to agree that the CD player is placed a bit too low as the shift knob gets in the way of it, but it's manageable.

Review

What a great car for comfort and performance. And someone who is taller than 5'10" can actually fit in this car. After the extended warrentee expires however, I will not be able to afford to own this car!!! I bet I've had the equivalent of $12000 of work done on this car.

Favorite Features

Size, handling

Suggested Improvements

road noise, everything breaks
