I purchased this car new in 2001. It currently has 125K miles on it and have probably spent maybe $1700 in maintenance over the last two years. Before that only tires, brake shoes and oil changes. This car has been surprisingly reliable and comfortable. I didn't expect to keep this car as long as I have but, it just keeps on going. Had a little annoying issues like passenger rear windown would not roll down for a few years then suddently it decided to start to work and hasn't stopped since. The only real beef with the car is where they put the drink holders. With the gear shift in park, you can't put anything larger than a soda can until you put it in gear. No CD player is the other.
good performance , when running

I have owned this 2000 Cirrus since Oct, 1999 and I have had nothing but trouble with it, since the day I purchased it..for a new car, it has spent more time in the shop for one reason or another. Foley Chrysler is one of the best dealerships around new england...they have treated me fantastic, I recommend them highly...on the other hand it will be a long time before I purchase another chrysler product.

I have 160,000 miles on my car and it's still running great. I commute 600 miles per week and it is very reliable. I highly recommend this car to anyone.

I love my car but there is always something else I have to change. My brakes get changed annually and the whole front end is replaced too. Now the damn thing won't start! There's always something to do
Great reliable car

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.
I regret buying this car.

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.

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.
Cirriously a great car.

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.

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.
Poor product

This car presently has 61,000 miles. We bought it new and have had two radiators replaced due to leaking. Have had two transmission sensors go bad, both outer tie rod ends had to be replaced, the rusted hood had to be replaced and the blower motor resistor had to be replaced. Need I say more? You can see why my Dodge intrepid got traded in for a Honda Accord, which by the way has not had any breakdowns in four years and 52,000 miles. I have owned Chrysler for the last 36 years but this one will be my last one.
Nice car

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.
Excelent Car but the brakes

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.
Fun Car with only a few Quirks...

This car is a blast to drive. The 2.5L V6 is a little sluggish to get going, but once you're moving, mash the gas and prepare for some fun. The gearing is very low in this car, so even in overdrive, the engine is in its powerband. Just keep in mind that this hurts fuel economy (I average 28mpg with a 75/25 city/highway split). The seats are not comfortable for long trips due to a lack of padding. The interior is plasticky and cheap looking/feeling. I've had issue with tie rods and strut mounts giving way prematurely. Tires make a large difference in ride quality. Car is still going strong at 150,000 miles.
lots of problems

bought the car from a family friend with 40,000 miles on it, and have had nothing but trouble, electrical system junk, replaced alternator and distributor several times. Front end fell apart and had to be rebuilt, and front brakes replaced annually. Will not buy another Chrysler.

This car has been nothing but a hassle. We've taken care of it and only driven on the highway for the most part. The thing is, it's been in the shop 7 times since we bought it. Most of the issues were minor, but they simply shouldn't happen on a new car (most of the shop visits were within the first year of purchase.) Doesn't feel as solid as my Grand Am and is louder. Junk.
Great Mid-Size Car

I have driven Chrysler now for the last 8 years, and find that the cars are very well built and the engines (mitsubishi) do a great job of moving the vehicle through traffic. I loved the LHS that I had, but career change made me downsize, I paid more for the Cirrus than I wanted to spend, but it is a great car. After the third year of paying on it my sister has told me that she would like to buy it from me, since she knows how it has been taken care of and how much fun it is to drive. GREAT CAR.
I'm going to keep it!

Overall, I have really enjoyed this car, going from a Chev Cavalier with no bells and whistles to the car with virtually everything. The gas mileage could improve (currently getting 20 mpg), but with the in town mileage that I put on it, I can't expect that it will increase a great deal. The moon roof has been perfectly leak-free. I've always heard horror stories about having a leaky roof that I almost hesitated about getting this particular feature, but I'm really glad I chose it.

I have being driving this car for more than two years. No problems at all. It has a lot of interior space for every one of the 5 passengers seats, which makes long trips very very comfortable. The design is superb, and the performance? excellent!

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.

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

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.
Good car overall

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.

This car was bought for my wife. So far, it has proven to be a decent automobile. The handling is pretty good for this type of vehicle and the ride quality is not too harsh. The interior is quite comfortable for long trips. The only complaints I have are the exterior styling and the lack of power. The little 2.5 liter six has to be thrashed to get any real power, and is pretty noisy about making it. All in all a very nice car.

Typically get 25 miles to the gallon. Good performance. No CD player installed--have to listen to radio or cassettes. Sadly, there are no ash trays. Nice looking car; both inside and out. My car is gold in color--it speaks loudly of the LXI model. Almost 100,000 miles on it now; no change of spark plugs or exhaust systems yet. No transmission problems with my car. Drivers door window motor went out--replaced it myself. Here's a good suggestion: take care of the car and it will take care of you. I wonder about the front light bulb assembly--plastic degrades and wonder when I won't be able to see if the light from the bulb can't get through the plastic lens cover.

Look out. Brakes are forever needing replacement. The transmission is always a problem. If you own one now, get rid of it before she exhausts all of your savings. This was the first time I had ever bought domestic, and it has ruined my belief in American automobile engineering. All current owners of this money pit should get a full refund from Chrysler with compensation for the stress involved.
