Overview
This was the final year for production of the LX version of the Cirrus until 2000. The LXi would be the only Cirrus available until the LX would return to fill the slot left open by the discontinued Plymouth Breeze.
In 1997, the LX offered a more luxurious upgrade plan called the Gold Package. This options group included an in-dash CD changer and a trip computer. These options were also available in the LXi, which saw minimal change aside from the addition of chrome wheels.
While the Cirrus was praised for aggressive styling and clever cab-forward layout, a deeper look revealed a myriad of reliability issues. Some were faced with simple electronic problems, requiring a trip to the dealer to reset the car's computer. Other drivers reported replacing the brakes, ignition, and transmission before reaching 100,000 miles.

This is my first car, and I'm quite happy with it. It has decent pick up, and has had very fewoblems for 11 years and over 130,000 miles. It also is not bad looking, especially with some chrome touch-ups on the outside.

overall performance has been pretty well for a midsize sedan of this model year (very little body roll, excellent brakes, engine could use a little more power though) while some fit and finish elements aren't on par with modern vehicles, it is well built Appearance is sporty, but definitely has been left behind in the 1990s, but the cab forward design and aerodynamic windshield are a plus because rocks have hit it and bounced after i thought for sure i would have a cracked windshield gas mileage around town under my lead foot still manages 22-23 mpg, highway 30 mpg with v6

Chrysler's answer to Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. Cab forward design gives the car a much more sleeker apperance than rivals, trading off head room. Equipped with attractive (and shiny) chrome 15" alloys and optional metallic paint. Great factory infiniti audio system. high quality leather finish on seats, yet rest of interior plastics are quite sub par. Questionable interior build quality and design. Mitsubishi sourced 2.5 SOHC V6 hooked with 4speed auto trans is torquey, but not as powerful as the japanese 3.0L competitors. thirsty for its engine size. stiff ride, yet lots of body roll. poor suspension geometry from factory, yet front end uses double wishbones set up. poor resale value, yet still a reliable car. great for people seeking used sedans on the cheap.

its sturdy and fairly reliable. breaking needs some work. we had to replace the back breaks twice because it kept sticking. if we wouldnt have had to replace things, it would def be 100% worth the cost. interior isnt bad. gas milage..sucks.
