This Year's Model Updates:

The Sebring sedan debuts for 2001 along with redesigned versions of the coupe and convertible. A new, more powerful V6 joins the enlarged four-cylinder, with a manual five-speed available in the coupe. The Autostick automanual is still an option for those who can't decide where they stand on the shift issue, but only on upscale LXi models with the V6. An Infinity premium sound system with an in-dash CD changer is also new this year.

Pros:
  • Value packed, powerful V6, sleek shape.
Cons:
  • Poor resale value, no manual transmission for sedans.

    I bought my Chrysler Conv used w 10k miles an I now have 62K. I use it every day! Yes I have had some minor issues and most under warranty but she purrs like a kitten. I drive every day to and from work and on trips get 31 mpg. In town 21 or 22. Used the dealer under warranty and now have honest mechanic. Replaced brakes twice because i am hard on brakes, seal went on transmission, no biggie. Drives Great, Looks great, Inside looks brand new. Have to do regular maintenance.

  • Used car should have kept - 2001 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    We bought this for our son in the military. We liked the looks and it was reasonable had 95k miles. We took it in to AAA garage and they only put in a new timing belt and changed the radiator fluid for a cold climate. I drove it from Phoenix to east coast and ran great. It was also more comfortable than making the same drive in a town car or suburban. The mechanics said should be good for another 1999999 miles, We liked looks so much we are now looking at other sebrings for us. Have owned chrysler lebaron Triumph (biggest disaster) chevy hondas. This ranks in the best.

  • Very fine, smooth, eye-catcher - 2001 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    One of the finest, most subtle, smooth, solid, quality rides Ive ever had the pleasure of owning & driving (& Ive had alot!). Excellent power (3.0 L, 24v, Mitsu engine with 5-spd), handling, & stopping ability. All without alot of hot rod/dog noise & flash just a fine tune from the (unfortunately single) exhaust & from the engine. Yet due to power2weight, I get 23-27 mpg driving in the fast lane. (K&N filter, Z-Max, airflow director, Vavoline Durablend, & +1 Toyo Z-rateds help) Have run it at both Laguna Sega & Infinion raceways with grand style, good times much fun! Then for the evenings the babes luv the leather, truly distinctive sytle, & Indigo color!

  • Best car Ive ever owned (had many). - 2001 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I bought this Sebring from a dealer as a "Program Car" with 18K miles on it and used it to cover a 9-State sales territory as a consultant until I retired from that a few years ago hence the high miles. It is currently garaged and seldom driven. Ive had zero problems from this car and intend to keep it forever.

  • What A Fun Cae - 2001 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    Bought this convertible for a fun summer car. Was able to get this well maintained from a private party in Fl. who always garaged the auto. Drove it 1,200 miles non stop returning to home. Is as comfortable as my 08 Cadillac CTS and I am 6 200 lbs. Have enjoyed everything about it this summer without one squeak. My 06 Honda Pilot has two squeaks I cant fix. Another week or two to use before it gets stored for the winter. Absolutely love this car and I will keep it for many years.

  • So far Sooo Good! - 2001 Chrysler Sebring

    I bought this car last July and Im lovin it! Its quick, nimble and has power to spare... Its really a head turner... Hope i feel the same when the warranty expires!

  • Great car since I bought it. - 2001 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I bought this car new and am still driving it. I have 123K on it now. Problems I have had with it over the years are: At 23K transmission had issues, but they re-built it under warranty and I havent had an issue since. Wheel bearings went once at around 65K. Air conditioning goes on and off at random which Im told is a control pannel issue. I have had multiple heat resisters replaced which is a well known issue for this car. I also have chrome wheels which is the most pain as they lose air constantly. The engine light stays on from a bad gas cap sensor. Oil light comes on at stops after long drives, but does not appear to be serious. Despite issues, I still feel it is reliable

  • Outstanding luxury sleeper! - 2001 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    One of the finest cars Ive owned. A real head-turner & BMW- surpriser! I got the loaded performance 5-speed with 24-value Mitsu V6. Gorgeous indigo exterior with gray leather, "wood" trimmed, 4-CD blowout sounds interior. At first changes added K&N filter, Z- Max & 245x45 Toyos. Been absolutely rock-solid reliable & thats even after hot laps around Sears Point & Laguna Seca! What a rush. Only complaints are a bit too much wind noise, limited rear quarter vision, & power mirrors lost power. Oil, belts, brakes, & tires are only money Ive had to put in. At 75,000 miles. No major maintenance until I reach 90,000 miles + 100,000 warranty to boot! Great!

  • A Surprising Rental - 2001 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    While having some minor adjustments done on my new Concorde LXi, the dealer arranged a rental car for me. The 4-door Sebring was a surprise.....roomy, comfortable, solid, and quick (even though it was equipped with the 4-cylinder engine). If I was in the market for a mid-size sedan, this would be a front-runner in regard to value and performance.
