The most horrible car I have ever driven
This car is horrible. I had to have the transmission replaced at 111 miles. Since then I have had it back to the dealer 8 times for problems with acceleration associated with the new transmission. I have had to have the multi-function switch (turn signal) replaced, twice. I have also had to have the car checked out for clunking noises when I turn, stop, or am at a red light. Chrysler says that these are all characteristics of the car, therefore they are not responsible to repair them, even though they notice the same sounds and feelings as I do. Why would a car be designed to act this way? I have never driven another car I despise so much.

Don't Count On It
This car has been a maintenance nightmare. Every four to six months, there is an ignition problem in which the car has power but the engine will not turn over. The dealer has tried at least four times to correct the problem but it returns. Clutch switch has been replaced twice, starter, solenoid, etc. No joy. I most emphatically do not beat this car. It is a total lemon. Do not buy this car and expect reliability. There car has an even bigger problem in that the weight balance is horrendous. It is so front-heavy due to the six-cylinder engine that it is dangerous in virtually any corner. You won't pick this up in a drive test.
Looks Good, Fun at First, but just wait
At first I was very please with the car (got the lx with 6cyl not lxi). It was stylish and very peppy for a sedan, also handled great, even in rain or snow. But at around 25,000 miles, I found that you could take the key out while it was still in drive. Before I could take it in, I was driving and the engine locked up. Had it towed to a dealer, who asked me if I had my recipts for oil changes before they ever looked at it. Long story short, I only had a couple, and had to have engine rebuilt at 30K miles ($5k)not warrantied. Front end squeaks when you turn, and my timing belt just broke, opened engine to find completely sludged again. Found out that this engine has an oiling problem!
My first Car
Been driving this car since Sep. of 2000. Great 200HP engine that gives enough power for normal day to day driving. If put little over 47,000 mles on the car and only major mechanical problem was that I had to replace the brakes. Good sporty look and great handling. To add a little more Horse Power would recommend getting a Cold intake system for the engine.
