The only real problem I've had with the car has been the driver side front brake. LUCKILY, the guy who owned the car before me left everything in the glove compartment to everything he had done, from oil changes to tire repairs. And I looked thru his records, and I saw he had the same problem with the brakes. I saw at 17,000 : 30,000 : and 45,000 he had the brakes changed to. So I'm not sure if it was a manufacture problem or not. Other than regular maintenance its been a great car. Now it is a cold natured car. If your in a cold area or on cold days youll want to let it warm up for at least 10 minutes before you drive it because it tends to be noisy in the steering system. But it's a common complaint on this car.
The room in the trunk is amazing. I'm not sure if they guy who owned it before me purchased a real size spare or if it comes with a real size spare. But it is nice, because it hides underneath a mat in the truck, so its outa site outa mind. And another plus is if you have a flat, you can put the real size tire on and finish out your day. You're not stuck worrying about having to do 45 mph the rest of your way to were you need to go.
I have owned a 1996 Cirrus LX V6 2.5 Automatic. I have experienced a lot of problems. In a seven month period The Distributor gave out, $1000 to repair. Transmission gave out $2500 to repair. Plugs, wires, Cap, rotor button replaced $500. Power steering gave out $450 to repair. Massive brake problems, and it started going down coolant. On a scale of 1-10, 1 being worst I give it a 1.
I agree. I so far, I've paid over $1000 within a 3 month period trying to get my 96 chrysler cirrus fixed.. its still tore up.. and more things happen to it everyday.. until I began having these problems, I took very good care of the car, and to an extent, I still do. it doesn't want to start most of the time, it gets very poor fuel mileage, it misses like CRAZY.. I dunno what else to do.. but I do know one thing. I will never buy another car like this.
