"bought this car with 58000 miles on it from an old lady who didn't drive much 4 months ago. since day one we have had nothing but problems, Blown compressor, bad body control module, bad control arms, faulty brakes, poor exhaust. we bought the car for $2200 Ended up spending nearly $4000 in repairs. You would think after doing all the repairs including new tires the car would drive better but surely did not. it would shake and make a grinding noise while we drove it. after all money spent we were not satisfied so we took it to the best mechanic in town, he did a full thorough inspection of the vehicle and said the reason why the car is acting that way is because there are parts missing from the frame. they had rusted out completely. Unfortunately I did not see it at first, nor did many mechanics due to the previous person who sold the car painted over it well to hide it. The mechanic said the car was not safe to drive, should not be on the road at all in that condition.. so basically I spent $6000 for a car that I can not drive. So to anyone out there thinking of buying this car, DON"T DO IT!! save your money for something better. Don't make the same terrible mistake I made.."

Best Chrysler They Made

By Micky B (WI) on Saturday, August 11, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 90,500

Pros: "Smooth ride, good midrange pull, beautiful looks"

Cons: "Difficult engine to service, not much room for mod"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I'm a British expat, and loathed the idea of moving to the US and being stuck with my wife's car- american autos are thought to be of quite poor quality on the Continent, and I hate automatics. All I can say is, this car has changed my mind. If it grows on me any more, I might need chemotherapy. So much better looking than modern bulky sedans. 13yo, we've owned it for 7. *two* minor mechanical faults in all that time outside of regular maintenance (Bosch multipoints for the win!) and I blew $2.5k on a complete rocker-panel / underbody rebuild/respray due to rust (previous owner obviously bottomed it out hard on something). It looks beautiful, the interior is holding up just lovely, the acceleration is smooth and pulls well mid-range if not starting, and the ride feels as sleek as the car looks. The 6G73 mitsubishi engine/transmission combo on this chassis, with 25-28mpg, plus these looks, makes it very unlikely I will buy another car until this one gives."

Very good car!

By DJ LiMitless (NY) on Thursday, December 08, 2011

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 98,000

Pros: "Comfortable cab layout, good milage."

Cons: "Shift hesitation."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I have owned my 1998 Cirrus for approx. a year and a half now, and it is a great car. Good milage, very comfortable, and very good performance wise. My only issue is that when you accelerate rapidly, it hesitates when shifting from 1st gear to 2nd, and again from 2nd to 3rd. Other than that, it is a great car, especially if you are looking for something reliable or a bit older."

Loved it!

By Danielle (SC) on Thursday, December 01, 2011

I owned and sold this car
Reason: Wanted a newer vehicle - My approximate mileage is 119,112

Pros: "Fun to drive, not many blind spots very visual"

Cons: "Gas milage, clear coat is thin, road noise"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I absolutely loved my car! It was in great shape and was always reliable! Yes it has a lot of road noise and didn't always have the best gas mileage but it got me from point A to B with no problems! My horn went out a few times because some small pieces inside broke but you can get that from a salvage yard that will work for a few more years! Althought I cried getting rid of it..it was time for a new car."

Not so great.

By hailie3607 (IA) on Thursday, December 01, 2011

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 150,000

Pros: "Good price, good starter car for young driver."

Cons: "My friends are afraid of my car."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"This car has caused me nothing but headache. I live 3 and a half hours away from college and feel afraid to drive it home. Living in Iowa, very scary to drive in snow. The transmission is going out, the trunk doesn't open at times. I have put more into this car than its worth. I imagine it is worth a little less than 1500. Not very reliable!! Sorry."
