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.

  • 2.7 sludged engine - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I loved this car when I bought it. Then I had problems with the brakes [squealing] the dealership said, "it was how I drove the car" I have also had to replace tires in the 3rd of ownership. 8/17/04 car engine seized Chrysler and the dealership put the onus on the consumer-poor maintenance - despite records of oil changes and brake issues. I no longer feel safe in this car. type 2.7 at google to see problems related to this engine.

  • Simply AWSOME! - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    This is our second Chrysler. We LOVE it! I would drive this car on any long vacations and never get tired. It gives a wonderful smooth ride and when needed lots of ZOOM! They did a great job following the Cirus with the Sebring. Only complaint is the its a little thursty when it comes to gas in the city.

  • Great convertible! - 2002 Chrysler Sebring

    This car does a great job in snow as well as dry roads. I cant wait to drive it routinely with the top down.

  • Verrry Disappointed - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    Car is a great car if you want to pay full price for limited life of the engine.The problem with this car is the unreliabilty issues with the 6.7 liter engine. I had the car checked by a Chrysler center the day before I left on vacation and the service department could find nothing wrong even though a service engine light had come on. 250 miles away from home, the engine light came back on and I was on the interstate on a Saturday with two small kids and nothing open. Rented a car for three days and another week while waiting on a part to come in.A year later at 74k miles just over warranty, the engine went. Repair shop said familiar story on these 6.7L engines. Cost $3,000 for new motor.

  • So far so good - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    Bought the car for the wife. Our first convertible and we both like it very much(actually, shes in love with it). Weve had it only for a week and its definitely a keeper. While Im a SUV guy, I cant complain about the interior room for a convertible. The exterior is nice but still a "girly" or feminine car. Performance is great and the sport suspension handles the road very well. Acceleration is surprisingly aggresive. Definitely build to be driven with the top down (not enough head room with top up). The 2-tone leather and 4 disc in-dash with 150w Infinity speakers are worth every penny.

  • Fun car to drive - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I have the 2.7 L six cylinder version.It handles great and has lots of punch. Very quiet ride too. I only have had one problem. One of the transmission cooling lines became loose and had to be reclamped. Happenned at 37,000 miles so was not covered under basic 3 year, 36,000 warranty. My luck!

  • Great car for the money - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    This is a great car for the money. For just under $26,000, I got a car with a V-6 engine, autostick transmission, heated leather seats, a killer sound system with 120 watts, chrome wheels, moonroof, a great ABS brake system, great sport suspension, great steering, comfortable seats, CD changer (4 disc), power everything, and great looks in addition. I would reccomend this car to anyone who enjoys driving; and with a 7yr. warranty, and friendly service centers, you cant go wrong with this car. This is definately a better car; than an import sedan, and much faster than a Camry, with less than 8 seconds 0-60.

  • Awesome used convertible - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I once owned a 1997 Chrysler JXI convertible, and still own a 1996 Chrysler LXI coupe. Both were wonderful cars, and this sterling blue metallic 2002 Sebring Limited convertible is fantastic for the money. I love the cream and navy interior. I never considered myself a Chrysler booster, but I have to say the fit and finish are great, and it is just so fun, and a great drive even in the cold with the heat-adjustable seats, great handling and autostick. (mine came with all the toys.) The autostick is really great for getting better mileage, which is about 22-23 city, 28-30 highway, and the autostick is very fun without having to kick the clutch all the time.

    I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with the except. The only faults are no lights in the Glove Box and a prop hood. Strange to say that on a lower class sebringThere were automatic headlights but not on mine. I dont knwow why

  • Fun, roomy convertible - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    Attractive styling, good handling, roomy in front & back. Every car has compromises, and this one is great fun and a very good mix of decisions that yield a vehicle that is good at cruising, good at the twisty-turning type of drives, and has good comfort.
