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.

  • Dont make this mistake! - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    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.

    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.

    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

  • Problems w/ check engine light - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    Check engine light keeps coming on; Chrysler has tried to fix it 10 times, unsuccessfully. Chrysler refuses buy back or replacement. Cant sell the vehicle w/ a chronic, unfixable defect. I will never buy another Chrysler product.
