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.

  Best Buy Convertible - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By aaronelbaron - August 15 - 10:00 am

  Closing in on one year of ownership I am very pleased with this vehicle. The ride comfort and performance are balanced perfectly. You can enjoy both long trips (or commutes) and at the same time dive into a corner without worrying about losing control. The car drives faster than you feel so it is easy to exceed the speed limit. Even with the automatic, acceleration is great. This is the lowest priced true 4 seat convertible on the market, so if you must go topless, go Sebring.

  Cant beat this car - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By Danz76 - July 21 - 10:00 am

  This care gets nonstop complimets. Ive had friends (and more importantly, members of the opposite sex) tell me they how much they like this car, more than even the lofty BMW 325i!! A real value, fun to drive, and some very unexpected high grade features that uou wouldnt expect in this price range.

  Its several years later from first revi - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By Shifter - May 11 - 1:38 pm

  It is now several years since my first posting. I still love my GTC, and it still looks showroom-clean. Twice the blower switch needed replacement, but aside from one headlight, the car has been trouble-free. The 5 speed is the best on snow and ice, and I like the control in rush hour (especially as a way of conserving fuel given the current cost). MPG in the city hovers between 21 and 24 depending on driving conditions. My second review (first in 2006) still radiates enthusiasm for this car. I still wish 1st gear had less resistance off the line, but all in all, I continue to love this car. A little Meguiars Instant Detail keeps the black a high gloss and the wheels looking good.

  I love this car - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By mclaura - April 8 - 5:15 pm

  Im amazed at the problems I see on the reviews. I bought this car brand new, with 7 miles on it, and have had no problems whatsoever. It now has 54,000 miles, and I havent even had to change the battery or the brakes. Everything is running great. I honestly cant find a car on the road that Id rather have. Plus, even though the car is six- years old, I still get compliments on it regularly.

  I miss mine - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By Mike - March 15 - 2:13 am

  Owned a LeBaron b4 this one. Got 200K miles from that so no prob buying American again. Drove my 02 Sebring 2 yrs till I got hit by a drunk on the frwy. Hit center div & shoulder wall. Then took 2 head on hits while disabled in the slow lane at 5:30am. I opened my eyes and saw the 3rd car coming and jumped the heck outta there and over the wall. Yes I could still run and jump! That car was smashed up everywhere except INSIDE. The passenger compartment was largely intact. A front passenger wouldve been worse off than I, but theres no way I shouldve just walked away. My glasses scratched my nose and I scratched my finger going over the wall outside. Not another drop of blood spilt.

  A Fun-to Drive Practical Commuter Car - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By W.A. Duff - February 11 - 11:31 am

  I did a spreadsheet comparison before I bought the car and am satisfied that I made a good choice. I have had more repairs than I anticipated, but it (so far) never stranded me on the road. Mid-grade gasoline provides good performance with the 5-speed manual transmission. I dont notice any difference with premium gasoline. The turning radius is too wide, but I am comparing it to my Mitsubishi 3000GT. I just looked at a another(2008)coupe, with manual transmission. It seems like a great car, but it offers too few advantages over my paid-off Sebring to persuade me to "upgrade" at this time. I will keep it in mind, however, as the Sebring ages.

  Great Car- Do the maintenance - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By Sebring is Great - January 6 - 9:56 pm

  Bought new-78k currently. Regular maintenance is all. Did not replace brakes until 50k-85%city driving. Mileage is 24 with no a/c and about 22 with in the city. Highway is 28 - 30 with cruise at 70 ish. Leather has held up well-clean 2-3 times a yr. No rattles or squeaks, V6 still is a blast to drive - very revvy and punchy. Tranny is smooth and reliable. No electrical problem other than seat heater relay going out. Still on factory alt and water pump. No major leaks of any kind. Handles ok but could use stiffer shocks/struts to really handle well. Overall it is a quiet, economical sedan to own. i just wish resell was higher on Chryslers. That is what would make it a great preowned car.

  Sebring LXi - 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  By bkr1222 - December 8 - 2:00 am

  I really enjoy driving the 2002 Sebring LXi. The engine performance has been great. My one complaint is the turning radius. It makes very wide turns which makes manuevering difficult. Overall, the Sebring LXi is very enjoyable. It is sporty, yet comfortable.
