The 1999 Chrysler Cirrus and Stratus, though sharing the same platform and many components, were distinct offerings in the mid-size sedan market. The Cirrus, with its sporty, coupe-like styling and emphasis on handling, catered to a younger, more dynamic clientele. Conversely, the Stratus, with its more traditional sedan design and focus on comfort, appealed to a broader market seeking value and practicality. Both models were built upon the Chrysler LH platform, a revolutionary design for its time, featuring a front-wheel drive layout with a transversely mounted engine and a sophisticated suspension system that provided exceptional handling for its class. Under the hood, both models offered a range of powertrain options, including the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, the 2.5-liter V6, and the optional 2.7-liter V6, with varying levels of power and efficiency.
The 1999 Chrysler Cirrus and Stratus were packed with features for their time, including standard amenities such as air conditioning, power windows and locks, and a CD player. Higher trim levels offered additional comforts like leather upholstery, heated seats, and premium audio systems. Both models were lauded for their spacious interiors and practical cargo capacity, offering ample room for passengers and luggage. However, their reliability was a point of contention, with some owners experiencing issues with the engine, transmission, and electrical systems. Despite these drawbacks, the 1999 Cirrus and Stratus retained a significant presence in the market, offering a compelling mix of style, practicality, and affordability, particularly when compared to their rivals from Honda, Toyota, and Ford. The 1999 Chrysler Cirrus & Stratus Original Service Shop Manual is a comprehensive resource for any owner or mechanic looking to maintain and repair these vehicles, providing detailed instructions and diagrams for every aspect of their operation.
