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.

  • I love my Sebring! - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I really like the way my Sebring handles ... a good, solid feel of the road corners really well the 4 cycl. provides more than adequate pep very good braking really like the seating ... supportive and yet comfortable ... a bit on the high side, which I prefer ... good view of the road spacious & comfortable back seat, as well only negative ... the transmission occasionally jerks when I let off to gas while accelerating.

    If you live where it doesnt rain & you dont want to wash your car yould love this car. The window stripping does not dry out, the whole vehicle smells musty. I would suggest carrying an oxygen tank with you so you can breathe. Loud inside cabin noise does not make for a pleasant ride. The passenger seat does not lock into place, & cant be fixed. Its been into two different Chrysler dealerships to be repaired, after 10 times, still nothing has changed. If Chrysler thinks they can produce cars with such little care & quality they should think again. If you complain too much they might not service your car, they did it to me.

    Although the car is fun to drive when everything is right, it has rarely been right for any extended period of time. The first three years we had 3 starter changes, one computer change, and various other engine problems. It died on us 3 times. After that a series of repairs were needed because various parts of the undercarriage support kept breaking. It felt like an old clunker. Even the new struts we bought were defective. Would strongly recommend that anyone buying a Sebring plan on also buying an extended warranty.

    Fun to drive. This is my first convertible and I love it. There is plenty of power, lots of bells and whistles, and a unique sense of style, all rolled into one. I looked at several makes of convertible, and this one offered the biggest and best bang for the buck.

    We love our Sebring! I am 64" and fit in it with lots of room and the baby seat for my daughter has plenty of room in the back as well. It handles good and has a great sound system. The 6 has good power and it has a smooth ride.

  • Good Value - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    In April of 2005 I bought a used 2002 Chrysler Sebring Sedan LX. I was coming from a 2000 Neon that suffered a lot of road and engine noise. Needless to say I was more than impressed with the 2.7L V6 and adequate interior space. Like others I think the dash design is a little dated but the fit and finish is nice. The front seats are wide and supportive. So far no mechanical problems, however the engine must be revved to about 5500 rpms to get any notable acceleration. Once and a while when the headlights or driving lights are on, and I turn on the turn signal the interior lights blink on and off - has anyone else had this problem?

    Excellent comfort and style. Fun to drive. Only problem, which is typical for all convertibles, is some wind noise around the convertible top and some water leakage with rain

  • Verrry Disappointed - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    Car is a great car if you want to pay full price for limited life of the engine.The problem with this car is the unreliabilty issues with the 6.7 liter engine. I had the car checked by a Chrysler center the day before I left on vacation and the service department could find nothing wrong even though a service engine light had come on. 250 miles away from home, the engine light came back on and I was on the interstate on a Saturday with two small kids and nothing open. Rented a car for three days and another week while waiting on a part to come in.A year later at 74k miles just over warranty, the engine went. Repair shop said familiar story on these 6.7L engines. Cost $3,000 for new motor.

  • Great car for the money - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    This is a great car for the money. For just under $26,000, I got a car with a V-6 engine, autostick transmission, heated leather seats, a killer sound system with 120 watts, chrome wheels, moonroof, a great ABS brake system, great sport suspension, great steering, comfortable seats, CD changer (4 disc), power everything, and great looks in addition. I would reccomend this car to anyone who enjoys driving; and with a 7yr. warranty, and friendly service centers, you cant go wrong with this car. This is definately a better car; than an import sedan, and much faster than a Camry, with less than 8 seconds 0-60.
