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.

Love hate relationship - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
By Heather - August 9 - 8:20 pmThis is my 3rd convertible. I love it. The problem Im having is starting the car. It doesnt just turn over like a new car should. It drags while trying to start. It starts every time but sometimes Im not sure its going to. The dealership tells me they cant reproduce the problem. Im so frustrated. Anyone else have this problem? I would love some input.

Chrysler forgot to sweat a few details - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
By Ragtopian - August 9 - 8:28 amRented on a business trip. Quiet, stable ride and strong brakes. Wind buffeting strong at interstate speeds, buzzing the back shoulder belt straps. Annoying cruise control stalk. Trunk very heavy and not counterbalanced enough. You can strike your head on the trunk edge if you lean over before ensuring it is fully raised. Center armrest short and too far back. Wheel too far away compared to pedal position. Problems with the temp control. No matter what position, it would suddenly blast full heat. It had to be moved to full cool to cancel max heat. 12 V plug too close to shift lever in P. Seat back spring is too powerful: releasing lever makes it slam forward. Engine loud at full throttle.

Good Car Not Fun Car - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
By Good Car - August 1 - 9:55 pmI bought this car 7/25/08 fixed it up a bit but not totally. A 7 speed Manual Transmission will be added. The car has averaged 35.3 MPG. during break in period which is not bad.I did not buy this car for fun. For fun I drive my 1972 Triumph TR-6, Test drove through rental outfits a day each, Honda and Toyota small and same sized cars, this beats them hands down. I drive with windows partly open and never listen to a radio since 1995.I listen to the car I am driving. This car holds the road.It is a gas saver. I think I will keep it quite sometime, too bad Chrysler hasnt promoted this one more, they really should.

A great cheap car - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
By Mark T - July 20 - 11:02 pmStill have my 2002 Sebring, 180,000 mi, runs great! Was somewhat afraid to buy this car after reading reviews, but in Real World Driving ( I have to pay for it, put the gas in it, and Not get speeding tickets) I went ahead and am definitely more than pleased. Great mileage (ave. 32 mpg, mostly hwy driving) lots of room for large people, great power seats, and everybody loves the looks. As for the interior, yes its a bit hard in spots, but in my experience Ive found that in the long term, Chrysler interiors hold up very well. The four cylinder has adequate acceleration, and is dead quit on the highway. I think for the price you cant beat this car.

Outstanding Convertible - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
By zomo - July 12 - 4:06 pmPurchased my first convertible 1 month ago and have covered over 1,000 miles. The 2.4 engine is quite and economical averaging 30 mpg (55% highway/45%city). Its got plenty of power for all around cruising. The interior is fantastic with easy to read gauges and very comfortable seats. The Sebring has been 100% reliable with every feature/option. Sirius radio and UConnect are wonderful and the 17" rims make the car standout. As mentioned in other reviews, this isnt a hot rod or a sports car - rather it is a solid frame with a comfortable ride & good handling competitive with any other mid sized car available today. I truly feel good about owning a Sebring convertible!

My sexy experience - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
By Lolita Greene - July 9 - 11:06 amI think the car is sleek and sexy and made for a woman. However, it is a heavy car. The doors and trunk door are heavy. I have had minor problems when the car is riding at a slow speed it jerks. I think an improvement would be to add a place to put your sunglasses when your top is up and they are not on your face( sexy shades is a must). Something to protect the glare off the touch screen when watching a movie. I really love my car is was a gift for my 40th birthday and I am constantly turning heads on the road. The hardtop convertible is like having two cars in one.

Great Milage and comfort - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
By glad we bought it - July 6 - 9:32 pmJust bought it and am very pleased with our choice. On the first trip bringing it home we got 40 mpg with Canadian gallons. The 2.7 liters have enough snap and yet holds onto the economy. The visibility is great. The interior is bright and easy to enter and exit. The controls are convenient and easy to understand. Having gone from a Jeep Grand Cherokee to the Sebring we had some reservations but to this date we made the right decision.

Like if more than I thought I would - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
By Roger - July 4 - 7:07 amI made the switch to the Sebring Touring from a 2002 Jaguar X-Type. I was purely looking for reliability and economy. So far I have both. In mixed driving the car is getting an average of 28 miles per gallon and over 30 mpg on the highway. I couldnt be happier with that. The car has nice features, but not the luxury I was used to. Even so, for about 21,000 sticker price it is a good value. The engine has plenty of power, although the transmission is not very smooth. Overall, if youre looking for an economical midsize car, I recommend at least test driving a Sebring.

Beware! - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
By Never Again!! - June 27 - 11:12 amI loved this car when I saw it. It has great features BUT 2 days after purchase I had a U-Connect problem, it has been serviced 5 times and in the shop 12 out of the 30 days that I have had it so far. I wish I had read these reviews because no one is lying here. They really need to start over with this car. Technical support is no support, no one seems to know the resolution. This was my first convertible and now the excitement is gone. I am stuck with a lemon I do believe. After reading the other reviews I guess I will have many more additional problems. Thats just great!

Ive Been Pleasantly Surprised - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
By C. Brady - June 5 - 9:29 pmI turned in a 2004 Toyota Solara SLE V-6 and was concerned about going to a 4 cyl. While the V-6 was quicker and quieter, the Sebring is not too bad. The car, so far, has been proving a good investment. Mileage has been 27 MPG in a 60-40 mix. (highway-city)
