  Our 98 Cirrus - 1998 Chrysler Cirrus
  By Horvath - October 14 - 9:16 pm

  This car has provided an excellent value. We have never had any problems and in fact we havent even had to replace the original battery. It has been a pleasure to drive.

  Fun Car with only a few Quirks... - 2000 Chrysler Cirrus
  By SkyWlf77 - October 13 - 3:11 pm

  This car is a blast to drive. The 2.5L V6 is a little sluggish to get going, but once youre 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. Ive 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.

  Alright so far - 1997 Chrysler Cirrus
  By shunt - April 8 - 4:21 am

  Just bought this car and had to replace the ball joints, and needs brakes. I like the body style and interior. I am concerned with some of the reviews, I have never had a problem with any Chryslers I have ever owned, hopefully this one wont disappoint me!

  Excellent Car - 1997 Chrysler Cirrus
  By Bill - March 30 - 8:09 pm

  205,000 miles and still going strong. The V6 motor has been great. The only above average maintenance item has been brakes.

  Great reliable car - 2000 Chrysler Cirrus
  By steve Sherm - February 25 - 8:54 am

  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, Ive had no problems with it. I think i could easily get 200k miles out of it.

  Missed it by that much - 1997 Chrysler Cirrus
  By Ragtop preferred - September 5 - 1:56 pm

  Missed it by ... that much. Too much. In two years, I have had to service the brakes 3 times, replace ignition wires 2 times, and an idle knock has started in the lower end of the motor/tranny at 55,000 miles. Routine service was done. It averages only 18- 19 mpg around town with a 4 cylinder. It looks and handles nice, having lots of creature comforts. Also fast off the line and on the beltway. But, I plan to sell it. I was hoping for more mechanical reliability. Im looking at Japanese cars now. I wont miss it much.

  Good car overall - 2000 Chrysler Cirrus
  By Skip - August 24 - 12:02 pm

  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.

  Cirrus Had Its Good and Bad Points - 2000 Chrysler Cirrus
  By SheRuss - July 27 - 11:43 pm

  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 wont buy another. My brother had similar problems with his, plus the notorious front wheel bearing problems.

  Turned me off chrysler forever - 1995 Chrysler Cirrus
  By Cheryl - June 2 - 2:47 pm

  AC works when it wants to, no problem can be found horrible de-fogger plastic around outside of windows shrunk and split then came off within a year after I bought the car AC plastic control knobs cracked and came off for a while when I stepped on the brakes the radio quit front left sway bar joint needs replacing every couple of years since it cant be lubed rear right break cyl. has broken twice silver off of door strips by 1999, very poor acceleration. Overall a lousy car, and a good reason to avoid chrysler in the future. And they wonder why we dont buy American car brands.
