Overview & Reviews

After just one year in production, the Sebring Convertible receives several changes. The most significant are a quieter intake manifold for the 2.4-liter engine and the availability of Chrysler's AutoStick transmission. Other changes include the addition of new colors, auto-dimming mirror, trip computer, enhanced vehicle theft system and damage-resistant power antenna to the options list.

• There is quite a bit of luxury in this sporty coupe or convertible. A short options list makes the decision easy.

• It would be nice to find the 5-speed manual transmisison with the V-6 engine.

  A greatly built car. - 1997 Chrysler Sebring
  By andy - March 31 - 8:56 pm

  Ive owned this car since new and the engine, transmission, A/C, and electrical system never gave me a problem. The only major maintenance I did was replace the motor mounts, installed a new top and new carpet. This is a very underrated car. The engine and transmission are Japanese and these can go the distance like Toyotas or Hondas.

  Overall, this is a nice ride. I bought it for my sons first car, and it was a good choice. I have had a few repairs, but its an old car. I would definitely get another if it came up.

  1997 Chrysler Sebring Review - 1997 Chrysler Sebring

  This vehicle is fun to drive and hugs the road at all speeds. It rides real smooth on open highway best. Shifting at high RPMs is smooth and powerful. Convertible model smart looking and by far the best design is the 1997. I will have no problem selling this vehicle when the time is right.

  A True A+ Chrysler - 1997 Chrysler Sebring
  By BLPro - May 7 - 12:40 am

  -I owned this car for three years, and had NO major problems with it. The only repairs were the Battery, Front Breaks, and average Tune-ups. A fantastic Wisconsin winter & summer car. I get 30 miles/Gal. Quick pick-up for Highway Driving. I knew about the drain holes ahead of time, so I avoided wet floors. If you have the "Flooding Problems" & "Standing Water" inside on the floors, just keep the drain holes along the frame under each door uncloged, that should solve the problem with water on the floors. I have had no problem getting people in the back seats either, rather roomy back there. Basic preventative maintainance, and the car has been great. Better then the Benz I had, & cheaper.)

  Great car! - 1997 Chrysler Sebring
  By Larryran - January 1 - 3:20 pm

  Purchased new in 1997. Most economical vehicle (total cost of ownership) I have ever owned. Now has 120000 miles. Initial Michelin tires lasted 75000 miles, and still had over 1/8 inch tread. One alignment, at 100000 miles - after being hit HARD from rear (knocked 50 feet from a dead stop!). (Checked every 30000 - always in spec.) First tune-up at 100000 miles. Having random teenagers wave and yell "Great car!" to a 50+ man - priceless. Chrysler quality over 5 consecutive vehicles is the reason we purchased a 2000 Grand Voyager for my wife. We will replace that with a Durango in 2005. My Sebring? Looks great, runs great, and no payments. We will be together for a long time to come

  I love it - 1997 Chrysler Sebring
  By Kayleigh - December 28 - 9:51 pm

  This was my first car. I bought it from a previous owner and I was soo happy with it. Not too shabby for a first car I must say. Very fast, and great looking. The only thing I didnt like was the front bottom panel got really bent from being so low to the ground. The only reason I am getting rid of it is because Im going to need something better in the snow to go to college with. Im going to miss this car sooo much, it has never left me stranded and Im going to sell it to a family member so it wont be going too far. Buy this car if you ever come across one, you wont be disappointed.

  A Classy Topless - 1997 Chrysler Sebring
  By PLJSB - July 26 - 2:00 am

  Father purchased my 97 Sebring Jxi for me when I was 15, at a year old it was an awesome car everything I wanted. To this day I still get complimants on it everywhere I go I have a LexusRX, and A Mercedes SLK230 and will still take my Red Jxi convertible out before them. Very reliable car my only problem has been brake pads wearing to fast probably my fault, and the electric antenna up until this year. The past year I spent $600 on her, It needed a tune up and it needed a new radiator, a few minor oil leaks which can be expected for a car with 120,000 miles on her. But everything was fixed and she runs like a car with only 20,000 on her again.
