The 1996 Chrysler Cirrus is a mid-size sedan that represented a significant departure from Chrysler's traditional design language. Introduced in 1995, the Cirrus was part of the "cab-forward" design philosophy, which emphasized a spacious cabin and a more aerodynamic profile. This resulted in a distinctive, somewhat futuristic appearance compared to its contemporaries. The Cirrus was available in three trim levels: LXi, LX, and Base, with a range of engine options including a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder, and a 2.5-liter V6. All models were front-wheel drive, offering a comfortable ride and decent handling for the time. The Cirrus aimed to attract younger buyers with its modern styling and features, particularly the LXi trim with its leather interior and premium sound system.

However, the Cirrus faced criticism for its somewhat bland driving experience and lack of refinement, especially compared to its rivals from Honda, Toyota, and Ford. Nevertheless, it remained a popular choice for those seeking a reliable, spacious, and affordable sedan. The 1996 Chrysler Cirrus Factory Service Repair Manual is a comprehensive guide for mechanics and enthusiasts looking to work on their Cirrus. It contains detailed instructions, diagrams, and specifications for all aspects of the vehicle, from routine maintenance to complex repairs. This manual is an essential resource for anyone wishing to understand and maintain their 1996 Chrysler Cirrus, ensuring it continues to provide reliable transportation for years to come.
