This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Lengthy equipment list, choice of traditional fabric top or four-season-friendly retractable convertible hardtop, impressive hard-drive-based stereo and navigation system.
Cons:
  • Weak and unrefined four-cylinder engine, poor fuel economy with top V6, limited transmission choices, underpowered brakes, poor interior materials, not at all sporty.

  • Disappointed - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    Although I like the exterior look of this car, the quality of parts and interior is lacking. My wipers have been stuck on intermittent for 3 months, the remote for the top has worked twice and quit, convertible headliner started to fall out, and now the steering wheel is making a noise. I have been waiting for parts for the wipers for 3 months. Embarrassing when the top is down and the wipers come on every 10 seconds. I miss my 300C.

  • Would not recommend - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I purchased my vehicle in June 2007. 2 weeks after purchasing the automatic top got stuck in the up position. Could not be driven. Had to put it on a flatbed and have it towed. Ugh! 2 months later, the exact same thing happened. Had to get it towed again, in the rain! Since then, I have had two recalls on the relay switch for the same problem. While I love the way the car looks, I would NEVER recommend anyone to purchase. During this past year while having the car, I have never been able to really enjoy the vehicle, since every time I put the top down, I close my eyes and have to pray that it doesnt get stuck again. Also, does a lot of sputtering. Never could find the problem.

    A real pleasure to drive. Nicely appointed interior although the hard, silver plastic trim is not too classy. Good sound from the standard radio and Sirius radio is a plus. My mileage averages between 31 and 32 for all around driving. Lots of nice goodies auto headlights, auto dimming rear view mirror, auto temp control, power seats, etc. make is nice to drive and handling is also good.

  • Basically a Fun Car BUT! - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I now have 10,000 trouble free fun miles except I had a mygig radio option. Dont let anybody kid you it is junk! In the first three months I was without a radio for at least two months. It came on when it felt like it. I was promised a software up grade each month. It never came! Finally it got here. They put it in and radio was worse. The installed a new radio. It wasnt new it was a refurbished. What a laugh. It was worse then the first on plus the switched hard drive capacity. It still didnt work. The bluetooth locked up with the phones and your party could not hear you. The put in another refurbished unit and it again was junk. Now have a new unit from a demo car and its junk

  • Love the Sebring Hardtop Convertible - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    The car handles the roads well and highway driving is like riding in a low-flying airplane. The ride is incredibly smooth with very little road noise. The feel of the car is very solid not like a typical convertible. I’ve negotiated corners much faster than usual and found that it corners like most other cars that I’ve experienced. The dash and instrument panel is well appointed. The 3.5 is great and the extra power helps handle all kinds of traffic situations. Top goes up & down 3 times a day, no problems. Washing is a breeze I use the drive-thru carwash & have no water problems whatsoever. Test drive this car and I think you will be “hooked”. This car is a beauty I love it!

  • Solid, Stylish Car - With Great Milage! - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    My new Sebring has been fantastic. Its great to know that you can get a car with such good mpg in a package that doesnt look or feel like an economy car. Im averaging over 30 mpg (about 80% hwy) without crawling along the freeway. The Chevy Malibu gets a lot of press, as do the Japanese competition. But for the money, I think the Sebring is underrated, and overlooked. The Limited or Touring with Leather is the way to go. Definitely adds a feeling of luxury, without breaking the bank. Dont be afraid to stick with the 4cyl. Youll be hitting the gas pumps less!

  • Commuter Car - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    Before buying this car I looked at many cars for my 120 mile/day commute. Living in FL has many advantages and one is that i get to commute with the top down most of the time. I looked at many cars including a Prius for this commute, but am very glad i choose the Sebring as this is the most fun to drive car i tried. With the mygig in the car all my play lists are loaded and at the ready as i head over the Sunshine Skyway with the top down. Mileage has been a bit better than listed at about 30 mpg, the highway gear helps, and its nice to have the bigger engine when you need it.

  • starting to leak!! - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I have had my sebring for less then a week and it is already starting to leak around the "convertible" parts to the back windows. The dealership is going to look into this. Other then that I love the car!

  • Wish I Never... - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I should have have bought a Toyota. This car has 0 power, extremely loud road noise, sounds like the windows are always cracked open. Only reason I got it was wife love the look. Mileage terrible. Hard to say something nice about this car except its pretty on the outside. Consider carefully before purchasing this car.
