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.

  Excellent value! - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
  By Sharlene MacLaren - September 24 - 2:00 am

  This is my second Sebring Convertible. I drove a 2000 Sebring jxi for 8 years and loved it so much I knew I had to have another one. I have since purchased the 2008 and love it even more! The style and feel of this car is wonderful. When Im behind the wheel I feel like a queen. (teehee) Seriously, this is such a great car for the price and in my opinion THE best 4-passenger convertible on the road! I love the power and surge of the V6. Will never go back to a 4-cylinder. And the radio? Hmm - to die for! Notice I didnt talk about the mechanics/engine/gas mileage. Dont care. The car is AMAZING! Just trust me on this.

  Best 4 pass Convertible period - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
  By Gazman - August 14 - 8:58 am

  in any fair comparison this is the best 4 passenger convertible. interesting some reviewers didnt realize that holding the up button past the roof up will automatically raise all 4 windows. some compared the 2.7 to the Mustang time was better with the 3.5 so they were probably afraid to do a real comparison.

  Gas sipper - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
  By Mike - June 21 - 1:27 pm

  Have had this car (LX Convertible 2.4 L 4 cyl) for 3 months. Gas mileage is unbelievable for a vehicle this heavy. Maybe a little under-powered acceleration isnt the best, but once Im on the open road on a long highway trip, if I set the cruise around 67 mph, I can count on getting 32 mpg or more...Ive been as high as 36.5 mpg. I traded my 2002 Sebring Convertible GTC (2.7 L, 6 cyl) in for this one -- the GTC was a lot lower to the ground and more stable, a little more sporty, the LX handles more like a sedan. Its a little top- heavy. Still a cool car though.

  Nice Car, Nice Price - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
  By Tony - June 14 - 7:26 pm

  I bought my 4 door, limited, 4 cylinder a little over a year ago. I was surprised at all the bells and whistles I got for the price I paid. The engine does fine, no thrills but lets face it, how much power do you really need to get around town? I completely disagree with the terrible reviews it gets from various editors. The car is a great value and delivers more than many of its competitors. I was looking at Fusions and Altimas, the Sebring was far ahead in almost every trait. Exterior design is sharp it looks like a much more expensive car.

  Would not recommend! - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
  By jo_ann81 - June 10 - 3:50 pm

  I bought this car because I liked the looks - unfortunately I didnt do my research ahead of time. This car has some very strange quirks that the mechanics have no explanation for. The transmission shifts very hard sometimes and sometimes the car sputters and almost dies as its shifting between 1st and 2nd (automatic transmission). I could deal with this problem, but for about a year now sometimes the car will just not start. Ill turn the key and nothing happens, then take the key out and try again and it starts right up (usually). Dealer can not figure out the problem. So far it always starts eventually, but makes me a nervous wreck! Well be trading this one in very soon!

  Love my Convertable - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
  By Wayne Kopp - June 4 - 8:00 pm

  This is my first Chrysler product and I love it. Before I bought my convertible, I read the reviews and they were bad. I loved the styling and ride and room and was sold. The ride is smooth, the trunk is roomy and the back and front seats are very comfortable. Im impressed with the gas mileage and just plain love driving it. Now that I have read the reviews of the owners, they agree with me. What do these professionals look at, I dont know?

  Great little car, for what it is - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
  By Perfesser - June 2 - 1:03 am

  Its a 4-door, 4-cylinder commuter car. I live and commute through the flat cornfields of southern MN. Boring roads, straight lines, long distances. This car is perfect for commuting here. Its roomy, comfortable, reliable. Okay, so I cant add powerful, but Im past that. Once you get to 65, what do you do with all that power anyway? This is my second Sebring. I love the styling, and I still have people come up to me in parking lots to comment on how beautiful the color is (glacier blue). I bought it well, had a few visits back to the dealer to get it sorted out, only one warranty problem since then (power steering went out.) Im totally satisfied with this car.

  Fun Car But Has Its Issues - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
  By leolady - May 20 - 2:25 pm

  I love my car & cannot emphasize that enough. Its such a fun drive, but it has its flaws. I knew more about the car then dealership from the reviews I read, so I knew the car (could) have its flaws. It has been in the shop many times for a new car: entire top panel had to be replaced because passenger side lining was cut short & falling down, driver side lining replaced because car leaked when raining, the windows sometimes dont go up all the way & the car makes a loud grinding noise with left turns. Most recently, the dashboard lights randomly dont work in the dark-electrical shortage. Love the car & will have fun, but when the warranty is up, so am I.

  Wish I Never Purchased - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
  By shannon - May 13 - 7:58 pm

  This was by far the worst car I have ever purchased. I have nothing but problems with this car. The blinkers dont work correctly, when I turn on the blinker the wipers come on. I have gotten it looked at a few times and still does the same thing. Like it has a mind of its own and I already had to replace the shifter on it. I could go on about problems Ive had with this car. Not a good buy at all..sorry Chrysler

  Great car! - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
  By Mike - April 14 - 1:19 pm

  I really dont understand the ratings this car has received. Maybe the folks that do the evaluating would prefer a cherry wood dash like those in their Bentleys. Either that or I am just uncommonly easy to please. This car is a fantastic value. I have taken several trips with it and consistently get 37-38 MPG. It is easy to drive, has plenty of passing power and is comfortable and reliable. The exterior design is very stylish and I find the interior to be both attractive and functional. My wife is the primary driver and she loves the car too. You can nit-pick this vehicle apart, if you choose to do so, but, for the price, I think its an incredible value. Not a bad warranty either (lifetime)
