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.

    excellent car-- great ride -- fast enough for plenty of tickets! Ha! I commute in heavy traffic-- the car is very comfortable. Good stereo. Also a great cruiser. My only complaint is that the cup holders in the front are too low-- down under the dash and in the way of the CD player and lighter. This car needs very little maintainence and gets good mileage- 28 mpg in the city

  • GTC 5-Speed - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I have had my GTC for a year and a half. Its a great car, fun to drive. It was a Chrysler Executive Vehicle that was never titled until I bought it. I have put 25,000 miles on it since I got it. It drives great and I love the 5-speed. The interior is a little plain though. It would be nice to have pockets on the backs of the seats for maps, etc. I have not had ANY trouble with the car at all. I have only had it into the dealership once and that was because the passenger window was sluggish when putting down the top. It wasnt all the way down when the top was!

    I HAVE OWNED THIS CONVERTIBLE FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS. IT IS FUN TO DRIVE AND VERY EASY TO CHANGE FROM SOFT TOP TO NO TOP. THE DESIGN IS GREAT AND EASILY HANDLES 4 ADULTS. THE TRUNK IS LARGE ENOUGH FOR 2 SETS OGF GOLF CLUBS

    This is the first, and certainly not the last, Chrysler that I have purchased. I consistently get 24- 25 MPG with 2.7 V-6 and have recorded 30 on the highway. This is the only car that I have purchased new that has never had any warranty work done, period. The only complain that I have is the cheap Goodyear tires that came with the vehicle - (replaced after 32000 with Toyo tires that are much quieter and ride better). Overall, I would definitely recommend this car to anyone that is looking for a sedan.

  • Fun Car to Drive - 2002 Chrysler Sebring

    I have had my Sebring for a year now and I love it. I bought it with 30k. I did have some problems with the mileage odometer not working properly, it would flash NO BUS. This happened right at 35k and was repaired by a Chrysler Dealership at no charge of course. I was just wondering if anyone else has had problems with the A/C. Sometimes the A/C will stop blowing cold air and it feels like just the vent is on. If you tap the dash, however, the A/C kicks right back on. I thought this was kinda weird and wondering if this was a problem that other Sebring owners have had. Other than that I love my car.

    LX with the V6 is a blast on those twisty turns in the country.

    The car is fun to drive. Although it has it problems. Ive had it in for oil leaks twice already. The passenger window doesnt work right and the engine in unusually noisy. Im not sure the dealer is doing their job. The resale value is terrible.

    My Sebring looks good, runs badly! We moved from Georgia to Colorado and the pick-up onto the highway, or even into traffic from a stop is terrible!! I even had it looked at, at the dealer to see if the altitude was affecting the engine or it need some adjustment, they thought I was crazy. Not only that, but it just passed 55,000 miles and has been in the shop twice in the past six months! Once for overheating when something broke, and just this week for the air conditioner compressor that had BAD screws. Apparently the screws are aluminum, (very soft metal)and they wore out(?) and they compressor fell to the bottom of the car taking the serpentine belt wit

    Electrical problems: From day one there was an intermittant problem with the headlight switch causing the dash lights to go on and off. Then the blower motor relay went out leaving me with only high speed on the blower. Next was the automitic door locks. Currently the doors will not lock except with the remote. This is all within the first 60,000 miles. Owned severl Toyota products and never had these kind of problems.

  • Just OK car - 2002 Chrysler Sebring

    The body is very sold. Build quality seems very nice. Has some of the most comfortible seats ever. The 4 wheel disk brakes are excellent! The transmission in this car is junk! It clunks, sometimes wont downshift, and other times downshifts at the wrong time so the car lurches violently. Sometimes it wont go into gear even when its in drive, then will drop into gear with a loud clunk. This is with only a little over 10k miles. BEWARE! Their 7 year warranty thing is a scam! You can take the car back 50 times and their so called "Specialists" will tell you theres nothing wrong with it. This is with the 4 speed automatic with AutoStick.
