  • Bad Boy Blue - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    This is a very reliable car. Just do the maintenance required, and this thing will start and run every time. This is one of the most dependable cars I have ever owned. And I have found that it is a great platform for upgrading. Ive added a few items to it, and I get lots of compliments. If you get one of these things, youll be very happy. Zoom zoom.

  • 2005 Chrysler Sebring GTC Convertible - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    When I bought my Sebring it was in 2006 and was a 1 year old Used Card with 27,000 miles. I have now had it 9 years and have put 40,000 miles on myself to bring the mileage to date to 67,000. It has been very reliable with the exception of the Rear Window Defroster that breaks every summer putting the top up and down. I chose not to replace the window. I am still using the factory Brakes, they will be replaced soon as they are at 5/32" on the Pads! At 66,500 miles I replaced the Ignition Switch. Other than general maintainance (Oil Changes, Tires, Battery) it has been a very dependable vehicle and a Blast to drive in the summer! I plan on keeping it many more years!

  • I LOVE my Sebring! - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I have had my 2005 Touring Edition for nearly ten years. I will be selling it now to put some money towards the SUV that I really needed for my lifestyle. I had hoped to keep both, but my finances wont allow it. I will miss this little convertible dearly. Cons - none. Things I have fixed/replaced - window motor (due to water getting in the door too many times), rear tie-rod ends, engine light has been on for like two years due to O2 sensor (have not fixed). Tune-up/flushed all fluids, etc at about 100,000 miles. Car has 139,000 miles and I believe it will go many more.

  • Best car I have ever owned - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I have owned my 2005 Sebring Limited since 2008 and its been the best car. I bought the extended warranty but never used it once. The only thing I had to do on it was the back end work which was costly and a heat shield fix. I sometimes think I would like to get a new car but I think why when its been so good to me. The leather seats are comfy and get better with age. To be honest I was shocked by the bad reviews, maybe its because I have the limited but I havent even had to replace the brakes yet and I have driven 50K on it over the past 4 years.

  • Beware of front driver side collision - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I was recently in an accident where the front drivers side was impacted. Thankfully, the driver was safe. Although this was at a low speed, the impact was strong enough to smash the battery. Due to its location, the battery acid made contact with computers, electrical & mechanical parts. Needless to say, it was considered totaled even though the damage did not appear as drastic on the outside. There was other structural/frame damage as well.

  • best car ever!!!!!!!!!!! - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    When I purchased this car in 2005, I loved it. I still do! I LOVE the seat heaters. Its the best part. When I sit in the car, I feel like royalty. The leather seats are Awesome because it makes me look rich! Got to love making the neibors jealous. Ha ha! It can fly! It can really go fast! BOTTOM LINE: This car is Awesome!!!!!!!

  • The car of style - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    What sold me was the style inside and outside, rear passenger foot room, headlights/driving lamps, and the cornering is wonderful. The 2.7 liter V6 gets the job done for the size of motor and can keep up with most of the 3.0 series engines in the market today. I get and average of 24 to 27 mpg in city and 26 to 30 on hwy which is pretty good for a V6. If you are looking for a great car to have fun in and turn heads this would be that car and a plus is it is affordable.

  • Excellent Car - 2005 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    The car has been a pleasant surprise with the ride and fuel mileage. With 72000 miles with no problems. If I drive 70 miles an hour I have obtained over 33 miles to the gallon. Original tires and brakes. Very happy with this purchase.

  • 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.
