Overview & Reviews

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.

• Good looks and performance, wide range of body styles, exceptional value.

• No manual transmission in the sedan, build quality and resale value not up to Japanese standards.

  Nice Car! - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By adam07 - February 22 - 4:47 pm

  Bought it new 8 years ago and still love this thing! Its so stylish and luxurious for $22,000. After 7 years the battery died once, the struts rattle on bumps and could use a replacement, and I need to replace the wiper blades because squeak really loud when you use them, so it has its typical wear and tear but the interior still has a newish smell amazing because I have 3 kids riding in it all the time! There is a lot of road noise but overall it is my favorite car Ive had. I love the way it drives, it has sporty suspension which turns really well and has really good pick-up for a small V6 which means good gas mileage, I would say it gets about 23mph. Good job Chrysler!

  timing chain - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By browniegirl - January 31 - 12:06 am

  Make sure you get all of your oil changes every 3000 miles. We did not know at the time of purchase that this particular engine has an internal timing chain, in the engine. They wanted to replace our engine with the 3.0L because the 2.7L has such a bad problem with this. We had to have the engine rebuilt and it was almost impossible to get parts for the timing chain assembly. Stick with a car that has a timing belt. Dont buy one with the timing chain in the engine, it only leads to a more expensive repair.

  Chrysler Quality - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By Joe - December 27 - 9:48 pm

  Like the cars look. Fun to drive, just wish it wasnt always to get service. How can they make such good mini-vans (I am on my 3rd), yet make such a poor quality convertible. There has never been a time when there wasnt something seriously wrong with it. It leaks trans fluid, oil and coolant. I just got it inspected again at the dealership, currently, the trans solenoid pack needs replacing, the oil pan and oil pressure sending switch is leaking, the rack and pinion is shot, the door "clips" are broken, the leather seats are tearing and I just replaced the right front hub bearing. The windshield washer works good though.

  Looks better than 02 focus - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By agreig - December 5 - 9:13 pm

  I chose this car because it has a lot better style than the 2002 chevy malibu, or a 2002 ford focus, chrysler has always been good with designs. The leather still smells new 7 years later and only the struts and wiper blades need to be replaced. The 2.7 V6 seems small but it really has a lot of zip. Overall its a nice car with lots of style interior and exterior, even 7 years later it looks really good. The FWD is still good in Michigan winters!

  Cant Find Parts - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By sarasotagene - November 9 - 12:03 pm

  Great car but when it breaks you may have problems getting parts. I had to work hard to find after market lifters for the top because Chrysler was not making them. Cant have a convertible with the top not going up

  Unbeatable Convertible Value - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By ConvertMan - October 8 - 2:00 am

  After test driving many convertibles over the past month, I have come to the conclusion that the Chrysler Sebring is by far the best value out there. If youre buying a convertible to enjoy with friends or family, this is the only car that will allow you to have 3 other adults tag along. The BMW 330ci and others in its class dont come close to the passenger comfort afforted in the Sebring. Add to that the stylish looks, perky engine (200 HP is a must), leather trimming, front-wheel drive and you have a wonderful package in the Sebring. And, its made in the USA! I wholeheartedly recommend it.

  Just purchased - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By SDR - October 2 - 12:28 pm

  My husband surprised me 9/21/09 with a 2002 4dr LX Chrysler Sebring. The Car is beautiful but it didnt come with the transmitter for the alarm. I took it to Mt Ephraim Dodge 9/26/09 and paid $131.61 for a new transmitter. 10/01/09 my car would not start! I called the dealer and was told maybe the alarm burned out the battery. Now I have to pay $98.00 for a diagnostic test. On top of that when I turn my steering wheel to its furthest point left or right it makes this screeching sound. I was told I need to $48.99 to check it. If I need a Power Steering Pump it will cost me $110 for parts and if it is the Rack N pennon (??) the parts will cost $600.72 not including labor.

  Great car - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By PC - August 31 - 3:30 pm

  Ive owned this car for 7 years and currently has 90,00KM. No major issues. Replaced some suspension parts ($700) and Transmission Solenoid (warranty)this year. Drivers power window switch died last year ($100). Overall its been a great car, good performance and comfortable to drive. Gas mileage is around 30mpg highway if not a bit more. Starting to get a bit of rust on the inside of ONE door.

  Almost put me into pre-term labor - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By Jill - August 30 - 3:42 pm

  Bought this vehicle in November of 05 with 35k miles. I had it about 2 months when the blower became very loud and annoying. In October of 07, the transmission control module went out, costing about $200. I read some reviews at that point and debated selling it. Since it was paid off I decided to keep it. In March of 08, at 77k, the car died. 4 weeks and $4,400 later, I got my car back after the computer and entire engine had been replaced. Apparently the car has problems with oil sludge, although I had kept up on all routine maintenance. Worst month of my life, all while expecting my first child. I will NEVER EVER buy a Chrysler again. Dont buy this car!

  A great car - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By Socaltim - July 29 - 10:00 am

  I bought my 2002 Chrysler Sebring LXI Coupe in May of 2003. It was a brand new 2002 that was left over so I got it for $18,350!!! I think the car is stunningly beautiful on the outside. Mine is loaded with every option but ABS. Driving the car is pure pleasure. The V6 is silky smooth and really pulls hard. The 5-speed shifts smoothly and the clutch uptake is perfect. The intake/exhaust sound when you wind it up is the perfect blend of turbine-like harmonics. The interior is nice, with leather seats and an terrific Infinity sound system. Im betting that the Mitsubihi drivetrain holds up better than the other Sebrings.
