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.

  Very safe - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By melissa - August 2 - 11:37 pm

  We bought our car used with 47000km on it. since buying it we put 75000km. problems started with the heat blower at around 100000km we were supposed to be covered bumper to bumper warranty but it showed that the coolant system needed a hose replace and it wasnt covered. so we had to fork over $600. around the same time the transmission started to stick and several tests could find no problems but every time you shifted fro park to drive etc, you got a jolt. we ended up leaving the transmission for awhile and got into an accident that totaled the car, hit on the passengers side front end, my husband, my 8 month old baby and myself walked away with minor cuts and bruises, the car was great!

  Great car! - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By shtief - June 26 - 10:00 am

  Great value in this price range. Nice low profile, good pick-up, fun to drive. Passengers in the back seat are out of luck...there is not much room back there, especially with a tall driver. Interior lighting is a bit strange, and the sun visors are essentially useless on the side windows.

  Fun Daily Driver - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By snowdogg - May 21 - 2:15 pm

  The Sebring GTC is my second convertible, much different from my 95 Cutlass Supreme. I plan on using this car for commuting on a year round basis (in Vermont). It remains to be seen how it will fare in winter, but with FWD and good snow tires I think it will be OK. Gas mileage is good at 28-30 mpg on regular, the top is truly weatherproof and interior quiet with top up.

  Dont make this mistake! - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By davis13 - May 3 - 8:42 pm

  I wish I had done more research before buying this car. From day one, I have always heard a whine especially during acceleration. These cars eat brakes. Its ridiculous. A couple of weeks ago, the car stranded me, transmission woes. I had to have the planetary gears replaced three times in the course of ten days. Finally they replaced the cas" I assume that houses the gears. The day after I get it home, the OBD light comes on. My plans this weekend? To find another car.

  Good Deal for a Convertible - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By Convertibles Only - April 16 - 8:19 am

  I purchased my 2002 Limited convertible in Jan 2006. It had 30,000 miles on it. I have had no mechanical problems, just change the oil and go. Power, handling and looks are great. The only unusual problem I had was that one of the chrome wheels rusted around the rim and it was impossible to get a good seal to the tire. So, I was getting a constant slow leak I swapped the chrome wheels with some aftermarket rims and new tires and the car looks even better than before!

  Great Topless Fun - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By msticks - April 7 - 10:00 am

  This is my fourth convertible and third Sebring. I traded my 1998 Sebring JXi in on a 2001 Sebring Limited (the first one my dealer received). It was Dark Blue with the Cream Leather seats. I was very disappointed in that car. Had serious electrical problems from the get-go and had to have it back to the dealer several times. In addition the very pretty cream interior was a nightmare to keep clean. Got rid of that and bought a 2002 Sebring LXi with Taupe leather interior. MUCH better car. Never been back to the dealer, seems better put together than the Limited was. Very stiff structure and well insulated top makes you forget its a convertible, until you put top down.

  By patpat - April 2 - 10:00 am

  Overall this car give reasonable return from its price. Roomy interior, extremely comfortable seat and leather. Good power and good looking body style. Everyone suprise its a American car when they first see it.

  Not a bad set of wheels - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By ox13man - March 20 - 2:00 am

  I did a fair ammount of research (with other cars in its class) before springing for this one. The interior is well laid out and intuitive. The performance is sufficient as well-not pressing me to the seat, but not leaving me waiting for the gear to shift (its an automatic). The car is a little heavy, but at high speeds it glides like a dream. At low to moderate speeds it accelerates and corners very well (much to the dismay of my passengers). About the only downside is that it has the typical clunky Chrysler transmission. Overall, a good car though.
