Overview & Reviews
Joining the Sebring sedan is a convertible model available in soft- and hardtop body styles. The latter is a first for the Sebring and better provides all-season protection for America's best-selling convertible. All Sebrings gain standard satellite radio and an in-dash CD changer.
- Lengthy equipment list, choice of traditional fabric top or four-season-friendly retractable convertible hardtop, impressive hard-drive-based stereo and navigation system.
- Weak and unrefined four-cylinder engine, poor fuel economy with top V6, limited transmission choices, underpowered brakes, poor interior materials, not at all sporty.

Great ragtop - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
By boatpuller - November 3 - 7:14 pmRide is great, lacks a little power, looks are grand and not the car you want if you dont want a lot of looks. Fuel mileage is better then it was listed at. Sticker said 28 on the hwy we are getting better then 30. Just love to drive it with the top up or down(prefer down).

Be Careful of The Convertible Top - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
By PhillyPa - August 16 - 10:09 pmI have had this car for two months and 3000 miles. Its left me stranded twice so far. When putting the roof down, the trunk did not close (twice now). Roadside asst. will not tow it with the trunk open. You have to drive it very slowly back to te dealership with the truck open like a sail. Ive been waiting two weeks now for parts to have it fixed. I also have a 2001 Sebring with 122,000 mile and had no problems with it. Needless to say, this model is a huge let down so far. Hopefully, I wont be too far from home the next time it breaks.

No hyperbole - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
By BanjoMan - August 13 - 8:58 pmThis car is not a sports car. However, I found previous claims of severe problems with handling to be gross exaggerations. Even taking sharp right turns at speeds higher than I should have I did not encounter excessive body sway or tire squealing. Steering was well behaved under almost any conditions. On straights the car was quiet inside with the cloth top up, and engine noise was noticeable only upon high acceleration. Power was more than adequate. The seats are well formed and comfortable, even the back seats. I like the car.

The Best Sebring Yet - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
By convertible Len - July 11 - 3:53 pmHaving owned a 2005 Sebring with an anemic engine, I decided to buy the new 2008 Sebring Limited for the 3.5 engine and the 6 speed gear box and am I glad I did. This car has good power and handling and is certainly a great improvement over the last Sebring I owned. I also do not like the hard top, so I found the rare cloth top Limited to buy. I have standard antilock breaks plus positraction, and electronic stability control options so the car is very solid, quick off the line and handles very well It us a very solid car. It does not swim all over the road. Overall, it is a really fun boulevard car to drive. I love using the key fob to start it from 35 feet or drop the top.

Surprising quality and performance - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
By Robert J. - July 9 - 6:43 pmThis is my third Sebring convertible. I had a 1999 and 2004. I am happy with the build quality, fuel economy and performance so far. I have owned the car for five weeks and have driven about 1800 miles. This is a base car and the 2.4 liter four is close to the Toyota four in smoothness and lack of noise. On a short trip (220 miles) on 2 lane highways with a number of rolling hills (not mountains) I got 27.5 mpg. The city mileage with the AC on is about 20 so far. This is not a fast luxury sporty car, but especially for the money I am very pleased so far.

Hip grandma - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
By Shirley Shores - June 23 - 4:05 amThis has been a good automobile, reliable. Always starts, runs good, but rides like a sport car. I have enjoyed the vehicle. When I purchased the vehicle it had 47,000 miles and now has 78,838. So as you can see not many miles added since purchase. Of course I have kept up the maintenance, oil changes, filters changed, belts checked, always passed inspection too. My dog and I have enjoyed the vehicle in the summer since it is a convertible.

Truly a CLASSIC - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
By Doug - November 4 - 2:06 amThe 2008 Limited Hardtop convertible is a classic. It is fun to drive and has plenty of performance. I would like to add that the performance and handling of the Sebring improved greatly when we installed a set of General Altimax RT43 tires. The previous tires made the car harsh riding and were very noisy. The difference was amazing! We get great mileage on the road 27 to 28 mpg. We live in the country so almost all our driving miles are on 60 mph roads. With the windscreen up the car is quieter with the side windows down. I have had many convertibles including a 1958 Morris Minor and the Sebring is by far the best.
