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.

    Love this car:) So fun to drive. Heated seats are wonderful during the winter. Convertible is a blast during the summer. Downside- truck space and backseat are smal.

  • Best Car EVER - 2008 Chrysler Sebring

    I love my Convertible. I recommend the larger V-6 though fast efficient and FUN

  • Never again - 2008 Chrysler Sebring

    This car was a nice looking car but that was probably the only up side of it. It is a gas hog and when I got hit it took off the entire front of the car and the airbags did not go off. I would never get this car again.

    2008 Chrysler Sebring Touring Convertible is my third Chrysler Convertible. All three purchased used. The first-engine was destroyed when timing belt broke-had to replace the engine the 2nd-ran hot and melted the engine replaced the car the third (and final) purchased from CarMax in 2012- needs struts, replaced the brakes twice windshield wipers are sporadic design of the body-rear is so high -cant see vehicles behind me trunk is so heavy -have difficulty closing it rear interior so tight, grade-school children have to curl up - adults are in disbelief. The console (between front seats) is un-reachable sun visors are cheap w/no light oil change needed is always on. No more!

  • Dont Buy It Car Has Costly Continuous Problems - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I have a 2008 sedan and in the last year the transmission went out suddenly in the middle of the street without warning, the next month the starter went out and now it continuously stalls suddenly at the stop light and if I turn the corner etc. Mechanics are baffled and dont want to deal with it. Every time I fix "something" 2 months later theres another $500 problem. Like so many others have stated I need to get rid of this car A.S.A.P. By the way Dodge/Chryslers are known for having transmission problems so think about that the next time you consider buying from them.

  • Best car Ive owned - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    Its been nearly a year since Ive purchased this car in 2013, and Ive had so much fun with it. The design is truly classic, and although nearly six years old, it still looks very current compared to other cars of its age. Im a tall guy- 67" and I fit with no complaints. Ive even ridden in the back seat and was still comfortable, although the top was down at the time. The overall maintenance is very affordable, (knock on wood) I havent had to do anything that wasnt routine. My one minor complaint about the car is the interior finishes, it appears Chrysler skimped on the quality, although it is still nicely designed and has an easy button layout. Overall the best car Ive owned.

  • Year later still better than expected - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    Wrote review year ago. Now with 15000 more miles, still no problems. Just washed and waxed,and vehicle with white paint still gleams like new. Now that sun is out, I dropped top, no problems. Paid $12000 for Touring model in Feb, 2009, now worth about the same price or possibly more. No regrets. May turn out to be one of better automobile purchases, even if it does suffer some future breakdown. For now,EVERYTHING is good.

  • Great car - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I have the car for 2.5 years now and so far it does what it supposed to be , a fun car with more interior room then almost any convertible on the road. i dont understand why the car have bad reviews, you cant compare it to Mercedes or BMW but i can buy two of them compare with their price. currently 43,00O miles and done only regular service.

  • I like the car - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I think the Sebring gets a bad rap. I am a salesman so my car is my office. The car handles nicely in rain, snow, or dry highway and I get 36 plus mpg on the Interstate doing 68 mph. The 4 cylinder is all the power I need. The only problems have been the radio (replaced twice) and the turn signal assembly had to be replaced. I put OEM Chrysler 300 17" Chrome wheels and a chrome grill on which really dressed up the car. Currently with over 65,000 miles, Id recommend it.

  • 3.5L V6 Hardtop Convertible - 2008 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    Black with platinum wheels and trim, the car sure looks classy. Put synthetic oil and premium gasoline in it, and she flies, too. Sadly, only 20 mpg in the city. What I thought was flimsy building (the grunts and groans quite a bit), I realized is just how the car is sprung. Once you drive it a while, it can really perform for you. All the things they say about the interior are true, and it would have been an easy fix because its really comfy in there, actually. Also, windshield top is a little low for tall people. Classy rig. Ladies in Palm Springs love it.
