1995 Chrysler Cirrus LX review from North America
"Worth it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought this car used with 94,000 miles on it. It is an R title. Before we bought it, we took it to my dad (who is my mechanic) to make sure there was nothing severely wrong with it. You have to be careful when buying an R-title. There was no frame damage. The car was hit in the trunk. I love this car and have had very minor (cheap under $50) replacements.
The biggest problem is the transmission is going. It has been going for 1 year. I can drive it about 25 miles max. Basically to work, let it sit for 8-10 hours and then back home. We are getting rid of it.
Another problem was with the air conditioning. The car will fill with a smoke like substance. This has happened about 5 times since I have owned it. I don't know what it is. I heard this happens with some cars. It's only when I am using the air conditioning. It's scary when you have a little baby in the car.
Anti lock Brake System light won't shut off. We took to the dealer to have the car checked and everything is fine. They can't shut off the light.
General comments?
The car is so comfortable and reliable! If it wasn't for the transmission I would be keeping it!
I don't like driving big luxury cars. I grew up driving small cars. My husband has an Intrepid. They ride so nice, but they are too big for me. I like the Cirrus because it has that luxury smooth ride feel and comfort without being large!
It is stylish. Everyone who has gotten into the car always says, "What a nice car."
The headlights aren't the best or the brightest. This model has fog lights so that helps.
The cup holders are in an awkward position. They are partly under the dash.
My husband has dreaded having to change the battery due to the location. Luckily, he hasn't had to.
The car dings when the lights are left on. I love this! I used to kill the battery in my old car by leaving the lights on. The lights also have a delay. If you shut them off after you shut off the car, they will remain on for a few seconds.
Great handling! Takes turns with ease. My husband loves to "play" with the car. I don't drive fast like he does, so he loves to take it out for a ride.
Not expensive to insure.
All in all. It was worth it! It gave me a good run. We knew it couldn't last too long. It was something inexpensive till the other loan was up! It lasted me over 2 years.
