I bought this car back in April 2015. 2000 Chrysler cirrus. With 193,000 miles on her. It is now November 23 rd 2015 and I'm ready to drive this car into the river and let the fish make it their new home. When I first got it we had to replace the sway bar, then the tie rod end in August. Come mid to late October the car starts cutting off. Everything dropped to 0 the transmission would jerk and she was back firing and missing pretty bad and I had about 20 seconds to get off the road before she cut off. But she would start right back up and go again. So I had several different mechanics check it out. The fuel pump had gone out so we replaced it and put spark plugs in it. The car still shut off again but this time nothing dropped to 0 it just straight cut off, and the missing and the back firing stopped It didn't matter if I was in a intersection or on interstate doing 75 mph ( I had both happen) so we replaced the manifold air intake censor and the map censor and she did great this morning going to work but coming home she cut out on me again but did not turn off. They said next thing to replace is crank censor. Sooooo before we started replacing things, I looked up this car and read issues with it etc. so basically from all the posts I've read, around 200,000 miles the computer chip screws up. I can't tell you how many posts I read trying to figure this out. Those folks replaced everything and some including the computer and it still didn't help. Soooo I'm going to replace the crank censor if that doesn't help. I'm getting rid of this car. I can not afford to put a computer in it and I only paid a 1000 for this car I've put a 1000 into it. I'm a single mother and i can't afford to keep doing this. If anybody out there has a solution please let me know. [contact info removed] I'd greatly appreciate help. I'm really sick of sitting on the side of the road or taking a bus to a certain place and having to walk the rest with a 1 year old. I just for once would give anything to drop my baby off and get to work on time and not have to worry or beg someone to pick my baby up and take us home. Thank y'all. Love and light to you all.

I have to say a very underrated car. I have the Chrysler Cirrus LXi version from the last year model (2000). I bought her a year back as a commuter car here in Houston. My work drive is 75 miles round trip, and this is at least 5 days a week. I bought her for $800 bucks with 154,000 miles on the clock. The only thing I’ve done do her is change the oil and put on the cheapest set of tires I could find. She’s been an absolute beast. Everything works. Even the sunroof, A/C, heat, all windows and all power door locks. Not even a single interior dash light is out. Not to mention not a single warning light is illuminated. Surprisingly no squeaks or rattles. The interior is quiet as a brand new car. I thought this was going to be a fixer upper project car to which I’d be fixing a lot of things frequently to keep on the road. I am using it just for work to keep miles off my nicer car and SUV. But she’s been such a good car, I drive her everywhere now. Without any worries of her leaving me stranded. Quiet, reliable, handles very well for almost 19 years old. The transmission shifts so smoothly you can’t even tell. The 2.5 liter Mitsubishi V6 is still pulls very strong, and the 41TE 4 speed electronically controlled Chrysler auto always seems to have enough torque to push you back into your seat at any RPM. I manage 26 mpg on my mostly highway mile commute. I’ve always been biased towards the Chrysler/dodge/Jeep. Even throughtout their many change of hands of ownership. But this car again I will say was extremely underrated, and if maintained properly I think she will drive for a long time. I’ve put over 10k miles on her in almost a year of ownership and she has never let me down . And all I do it put gas in her and change the fluids when the manual says to. I think she was a steal at $800 bucks. And rare with a sunroof. Previously well maintained or just a good quality automobile.

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.
It's still a great car!

No major problems with this car at all. High road noise in car. Good sound system with 5 disc multi CD player and cassette deck. Excellent trunk space. Interior leather seats are very comfortable for driver. Also comfortable for other passengers. This is my 2nd Chrysler. I traded in my 2 door Sebring for a 4 door sedan. I had no reliability problems with the Sebring either.
51,000 miles and lots of problems

I bought the Cirrus two months ago and already I've had to fork over almost $700 in repairs. The car looks nice and the inside is beautiful but that's about it. The car won't start when it's hot outside or if it rained the night before. I am having a tuneup done on it to see if that will fix the problem but I'm not getting my hopes up. The parts for this car are very expensive and you have to take out the entire engine just to get a tuneup done. Stay far away from this bucket of junk and buy a Toyota Corolla or Chevy Prizm. At least with them you won't be stranded in a parking lot in 90 degree weather or pouring rain.
