  • Good thing baby - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I really love this car. I have had it for a year and a half and like it more now than day 1. Car is solid and very quiet for a convertible. I have had nothing at all go wrong in the 37,000 miles of ownership

  • Ragtop Love - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I bought this car used with 18,000 miles on it June 2006 for $14,000. It was a fleet car prior. I cant say enough nice things about this car. The only negative I could find is that it has some blind spots with the top up, but after driving it a while, its easy to compensate for them. I intend to keep this car a long time. The new ones are too small and dont hold turns like this one does. It also accelerates quite well. I know people have complained about acceleration in this model, but all I can say is they probably dont keep it properly tuned. My friend paid a fortune for a Jaguar and hes kicking himself. My car accelerates faster, has better performance, mileage, and road huggability.

  • Massive Shaking - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I purchased this Sebring Convertible limited from the showroom floor after test driving a 2006. After purchasing I was on my way home when I noticed the car had very bad shake at 45 mph and massive cowl shake that did not show up on test drives. Dealer stated this was normal, but that was after they rebalanced and replaced the tires. The car has gotten progressively worse and gets out of balance and alignment on the slightest bumps. I had a 1999 Sebring conv and vibration was very minimal compared to this.

  • My Last Chrysler - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    After 14 Chryslers, this is my last. The only thing this car does well at is get decent fuel economy. In 2 years of ownership, its been in the shop for warranty work a full 3 months in total. Its myriad problems and poor reliability have convinced me to switch brands. Its a beautiful car, but, seems to have been engineered and built by blindfolded kindergarten kids. Tried to get rid of it, but, this model depreciates like a falling brick.

    Ive had problems with this car, engine knock and right hand steering noise, it clicks when you steer to the right. This car had only 26,600 miles when I bought it and I have 35,567 now, this is my first Chrysler product and will be my last! A car with low mileage like this should not knock or make steering noises.

    The Sebring is a very enjoyable mid- priced car. It is a sharp looking car and drives very well. Handles great, I love the "pick-up" it has. I would buy a Sebring again

  • Rattles, Ticking, ohhh my.... - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    This was my second Sebring Convertible. I loved my 1999 so much, my next car had to be the same. BIG MISTAKE! I have had this car in to have the roof worked on over a dozen times. The roof is loud and there is a constant ticking coming from multiple locations. There are multiple "loose parts" in the door that sounds like a hanger banging back and forth and the windows rattle along with a vent on the dash that rattles. Ive had the car in the shop more than in my garage. They could simply replace the roof (theyve taken it off enough times)but insist on trying to repair it with no improvement. The car looks nice, but its cheaply built.

  • COOL CAT - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    Definitely Fun to Drive. Roomy interior and beautiful exterior. Overall, a great buy for the price tag. To summarize its a classy car at an affordable price. You actually get a lot for your money. However, I must say that it took me awhile to get used to the transition from driving an SUV to the convertable. The children love driving in the convertible more than the SUV but its not practical for use on a daily basis. The children sometimes have many items that they carry to and from school, sports & other activities which we use the SUV on those days.

  • Great Car to impress your friends with - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    Most of my friends either have a Honda or Toyota, and they are all impressed by the quality and comfort of the car. They also like the fact it is bigger, so we can fit five much more comfortably. One thing I will say is that the V6 is lacking in low-end torque. I drove a 91 Olds before buying this car, and even though it has 40 less horses, it had better acceleration. Chrysler also needs to pay more attention to the tranny, shifts are sometimes rough.

  • Im glad its legal - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    The car is just really fun to drive. For the price it is the best value. Not to mention the top goes down, what a bonus:) Only one draw back I have to put Gas in it to go anywhere.
