Overview & Reviews

Evolutionary, mostly aesthetic changes enhance the Sebrings this year. The Sebring Coupe LX and LXi now offer a black and gray interior, and a new exterior color, Caffe Latte.

• It would be nice to find the 5-speed manual transmission with the V-6 engine. After all, this is supposed to be a sporty car.

  After 80000 miles - 1998 Chrysler Sebring
  By Robert W. Porter - November 7 - 4:46 pm

  After 80000 miles and 7 years later, the body is still in excellent shape and the paint still shines. But the tie-rod ends go bad and then break, yes I said break, so you cannot steer when they break and could cause an accident. So have them replaced as soon as you buy one of these cars, or have the owner do it before you buy. The cross over tube in your cooling system deteriorates and needs to be replaced, kind of pricey. The rear defogger hasnt worked since I bought the car. The tranny is geared high so you dont get the full effect of the 168hp V6. And the computer puts the engine at idle once you hit 105mph. Doesnt go any faster unless you can get the rev limiter shut off.

  Sebring Conv. - fun car/fun drive - 1998 Chrysler Sebring
  By nitneelyin - September 22 - 2:00 am

  Car has been a pleasant surprise. Expected road noise with a convertible and I got it, but the ride is superb, even after 134,000 miles. Gas mileage runs 24-27. The OEM Michelin tires got 60,000 miles, so did the second set and Im on #3. Back seat is useless for anyone except small kids. Trunk is okay, but not roomy. Battery placement (I changed it once) is horrendous, in the wheelwell on the front driver side, what an engineering screw-up. Stereo was clear and loud even with the top down. Bottom line, its been a fun car with the top down or up!

  1998 Seibring jx convertible - 1998 Chrysler Sebring
  By woodrow ban - January 10 - 2:00 am

  Dealership great. Car underpowered. Needs the v-6. Milage unimpressive. Cornering sluggish. Mechanically poor. Head gasket at ~60,000. After a fight, Chrysler did do a good-will adjustment. Outer tie rod ends at 65,000. Way too soon. No grease fittings on originals or replacements. Electrical window switches have required replacement twice. Internal headlight aimer failed. Ended up illuminating the telephone wires. Not repairable, needed a ~$250 headlamp module. Interior panels crack and break.

  Enjoy it - 1998 Chrysler Sebring
  By cousindebbie - December 23 - 2:00 am

  I just bought it but do really enjoy driving this car. I do hope it stands up tp my expectations, but think it will. I feel safer in it than I did my Saturn and it is quieter and somewhat more comfortable. Seats can be a bit more comfortable, honestly. But I do really like this vehicle.

  Junk! - 1998 Chrysler Sebring
  By L.A. Mark - July 30 - 2:00 am

  Bought the car two years ago with 29K on it. Have had the car in the shop 6 times in 2 years. Repairs run from simple electrical to broken suspension pieces that left me stranded on vacation. Front left wheel makes a thunking sound over speed bumps or rough roads and the dealer says they hear and feel it but cant find it. They keep saying its the brakes ( funny you said the same thing 5,000 miles ago when YOU replaced them!) Basically a good looking, comfortable car, with poor handling and Horrid build quality. First American made car Ive owned in 15 years and will be the last one I ever own

  Still looks (& drives) good after 5 yrs. - 1998 Chrysler Sebring
  By divinemsm - March 7 - 2:00 am

  My Sebring convertible has held up rather well, aside from a couple of minor body dings. When its cleaned and waxed, it still looks great. And it runs and handles very well. So far Ive had to replace only two things: (1) a tire that took a nail in the sidewall at 9,000 miles (2) I just had to replace the original battery after a spell of very cold weather. Ive owned 3 Chrysler convertibles in the past 17 years (1 bought as a repo, 2 bought new), and this one is the best- built yet. Im not planning to buy a new car for a couple of years, but Ill have to look at Sebrings again if I decide to buy another ragtop.

  This car was Great!! - 1998 Chrysler Sebring
  By Chris17654 - August 28 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle was great when I first got it. But later on in the year it started having problems. Every time I hit the gas it makes this humming sound that can really get on your nerves when on long trips out of town. Also the front axle seems to breaking down. There is some kind of rattling sound. All though it is almost impossible to get a better sound system installed because of the way everything is hooked up to the Amp in the trunk. The car is just to weird. The 1998 model should have been a manual anyway. It would work alot better so the buyers would be able to "Hook it up". Like cold air intakes etc.....
