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.

  • the car that almost could but didnt - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I researched this car on the internet. I compared it to the nissan, toyota and mustang. For the price and style it stood above the rest. It is a fun car. Since I have owned however, I have had it in the shop for various repairs in excess of 30 days. It has had oil light problems, overheat problem, alignment problems. God help you if you had to change the battery. I am on my 3rd roof motor. the fabric is tearing on the roof as well. I drive highway miles. I would recommend that you pass on this car until Chrysler gets its act together it is nice but no Substance.

    Chrysler vehicles just do not meet the quality and resale value of Chevrolet and Ford. I bought this car new and paid 28K, 4 years later and 25K miles, its only worth 10K. At 24K miles, the driver door hinge broke, and a hose above the fuel tank is defective, cost, $400.00 to repair.

    Have been looking at Chrysler Sebrings for some time as they are one of the few sporty type convertibles I can afford. I am amazed at the equipment I have on my Sebring as I own a 2000 Cadillac Deville and a 2001 Lincoln Town Car and the Sebring has all the equipment they have including all the little toys like compass, thermomitor, etc. So far, I have had a great deal of fun driving this little car. In my opinion, it is a great car for the money.

    I have had this car for 3 years now and put 140 miles a day on it driving back and forth to work. Im up to 110,000 miles now. Gas mileage has been good at 28 mpg. Comfort is great. Sound system rocks. Only issues have been some stupid electrical problems. Relay for blower heater motor went bad once and the Windshield Washer pump seemed weak in the winter time. Other than that its been oil changes, tires, and breaks.

  • One major problem - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    Overall a great car to drive, my major complaint is the dash board electronics, after 3 years the complete dash board would not function, had to be replaced, lucky I had warranty. I have the 7.7 which has much power for this car, if you love sports cars, this is the car for you.

  • Despite the reviews - I love my Sebring! - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    Having owned 3 Accords prior to my Sebring, I was surprisingly pleased at how much I enjoy driving this car! I love the exterior styling and get many compliments on it. Granted ... the 4 cycl engine is a bit rough, but I find it very responsive and able to make a freeway entrance ... okay, noisily & not particularly refined when you floor it... but I have never wished for more power. The front seats are very comfortable, the handling is quite good & a good ride. I am always surprised when reviews come up short ... and I, personally, have had zero problems with the reliability of my car. Im really looking forward to seeing the new 2007 model ... a smaller version of the 300? Well see ...

    The Chrysler Sebring Convertible is the most fun to drive of any car I have owned, including a Corvette, a Triumph Spitfire, an Olds 442, and an Opel GT, among others. The only thing I dont care for is the location of the cup holders in the front, a small price to pay.

    This is my first convertible. I primarily bought it for my wife but I love it too. The car has great pickup and gas mileage for a large car is good, about 22-25 miles per gallon. My one complaint would be the tires leaking air. My tire place claims that it was the chrome wheels. However, I recently purchased new tires and they have not loss any so far. My other complaint would be the brakes had to be replaced at 30,000 miles which seems too quick.
