1999 Chrysler Cirrus LXi review from North America
"Excellent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced transmission pan 3 times, it is very easy to damage (lowest point under a car).
Tie end both sides replaced twice.
Ignition problem ONLY when a rainy or warm and humid weather if not driven for a 24 h or more, always starts (one or two cylinders is losing spark, mostly when idling or on revs below 2000), goes away after 15 minutes of driving. I did change wires, spark plug, ignition cap... twice. Last thing that I am going to try to change is ignition coil.
Other than that, no problem at all. I maintain it myself. Most I got it from it is 28.5mil/gal when I drove it last year to Montreal (65mils/h).
I have had it for 9 years, and I love it. I will keep it as long as I can.
General comments?
Very powerful V6 that I use. It often goes to 6500rpm with no problems every time for the last 9 years. Great for long distance travel.
