This Year's Model Updates:

Even though it was revamped last year, the Sebring line receives a number of changes. An Enthusiast package for the sedan debuts, as will a sporty GTC convertible later in the model year. And to put the Sebring ragtop in reach of more buyers, a lower-priced LX version with the 2.4-liter inline four becomes available.

Pros:
  • Good looks and performance, wide range of body styles, exceptional value.
Cons:
  • No manual transmission in the sedan, build quality and resale value not up to Japanese standards.

  • nothing but problems - 2002 Chrysler Sebring

    Although the car is fun to drive when everything is right, it has rarely been right for any extended period of time. The first three years we had 3 starter changes, one computer change, and various other engine problems. It died on us 3 times. After that a series of repairs were needed because various parts of the undercarriage support kept breaking. It felt like an old clunker. Even the new struts we bought were defective. Would strongly recommend that anyone buying a Sebring plan on also buying an extended warranty.

    Fun to drive. This is my first convertible and I love it. There is plenty of power, lots of bells and whistles, and a unique sense of style, all rolled into one. I looked at several makes of convertible, and this one offered the biggest and best bang for the buck.

  • Drop the top for exhilaration! - 2002 Chrysler Sebring

    Originally purchased an 01 LXI but totaled it 13 months later when another driver ran a red light. Both air bags deployed and the unibody absorbed the impact, protecting me from any bodily injuries. I immediately purchased an 02 LXI and was happy to see that the V6 was improved with a double overhead cam. The acceleration is addicting and hitting 110 mph with the top down was a super thrill. I upgraded the tires to a high performance Yokohama AS430 and this LXI craves the curves at any speed. Drove from Texas to Georgia with two teenagers for a two week vacation and had plenty of room for all the bagage. This car was a breeze to drive for 8hrs or more at a time, plus its easy on gas.

    We love our Sebring! I am 64" and fit in it with lots of room and the baby seat for my daughter has plenty of room in the back as well. It handles good and has a great sound system. The 6 has good power and it has a smooth ride.

    In April of 2005 I bought a used 2002 Chrysler Sebring Sedan LX. I was coming from a 2000 Neon that suffered a lot of road and engine noise. Needless to say I was more than impressed with the 2.7L V6 and adequate interior space. Like others I think the dash design is a little dated but the fit and finish is nice. The front seats are wide and supportive. So far no mechanical problems, however the engine must be revved to about 5500 rpms to get any notable acceleration. Once and a while when the headlights or driving lights are on, and I turn on the turn signal the interior lights blink on and off - has anyone else had this problem?

    Excellent comfort and style. Fun to drive. Only problem, which is typical for all convertibles, is some wind noise around the convertible top and some water leakage with rain

  • My first family car! - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I bought this car used and I LOVE it. We have a 2 year old in a car seat and a baby on the way, so we needed a car with plenty of room. Its got enough room in the back seat for adults to be comfortable even if front seats are pushed all the way back. I looked into foreign make cars, but ones this price range were so tiny. I get lots of compliments because even though this is our family car, it looks really nice. My dad has this car too (and hes a tough sell). The less-than- great gas mileage doesnt bother me since I work, go to church and my daughters sitter are all within a 3 mile radius of my home.
