  • Low Quality But Affordable Fun - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    Needs to be built better. Many little annoying part failures. Occational engine noise that no Chrysler Mechanic can find, but all can hear. Poor service as well. The drive train seems sloppy. Had trouble with stereo, which was replaced under warrantee (thank God). Braking is not as good as I would like. I would not buy another one, which is sad, as many people stop me and say how nice it "looks", then I tell them of all the little things that pop up now and then. Get with it US Auto Makers. Stop buying up all the imports and invest your cash in domestic quality up grades.

    I have been very happy with my car since the first day I bought it. I am very comfortable in it it drives very well and all I can say is I recommend it all the time.

  • Its almost all good - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    The only complaint that I have is that I feel like Im lying down in the drivers seat. Id like to be able to sit up a little straighter. Otherwise I feel like Im driving a strong machine that can easily handle the curves and bumps in the road. The acceleration of the V6 is smooth and the autostick puts me in control.

    Pleased with the mileage, pickup, braking, quiet drive and exterior look. Price and value are very good. Have not needed to return to dealer for any fixups.

  • Decent ride for the buck - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I had just purchased a 2005 Chrysler Sebring LX Coupe, exterior Brilliant Silver, interior is toupe cloth. My choice of engine was the Mitsubishi built 4 cylinder with the automatic transmission. Great exterior styling, interior is a little plain and lacking in initial quality, ride is surprisingly quiet/ smooth, and the 4 cylinder Mitsubishi engine powers this vehicle w/ V-6 like performance. Bad points to date: Front rotors were warped upon my leaving the showroom w/ this vehicle, as steering wheel and brake pedal shakes/vibrates when attempting to slow down/stop. If this remains to be the only problem that Ill experience w/ this vehicle, only then will I give Chrysler a thumbs up !

  • chrysler sebring limited convertible - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    water gets in windows when washed with a wand. Handles very poorly around curves.Much bumpier ride than I expected for the money. Doesnt even compare to my last car in performance or comfort, that was a 2 door grand Prix 97.I have serious buyers remorse.

  • Second Sebring owner - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I use the Sebring 4 door 2.7L as a compnay vehicle. It is the second one Ive gotten. The first, a 2002 model, was traded at 75,000 miles. No problems - ever! Why does Edmunds slam the interior? Look inside a Malibu, then look in a Sebring. Ive driven both and I can say that the Malibu is built like a Yugo compared to the Sebring. The interior of the Sebring is very well screwed together and not all all cheap looking - try to say that about any GM car. Brakes are excellent!!! Torque is a bit lacking. Gotta rev it hard, till the engine sounds like its coming apart. Aside from that,Chrysler really has come a long way. I am very pleased. Chrysler, please put a powerful engine in this car

  • Great Car - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    Great car for cruising. But if you want a car for speed and sports handling, then this is not the car. But then where can the average person fly around hair pin turns, down shifting and sliding the back end on the turn. The ads you see on television for the aggressive driver are the exception.

  • better than our old 2000 sebring convert - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    Went the the auto show and tested all the convertibles from $25k to $85k. Liked the sebring the best bcause of its styling and size. You can put 2 sets of golf clubs in the trunk and still fit a cooler or two in there as well. Has all the options of the higher end cars for a lot less money. Real quiet ride.
