  • expensive to fix - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    Every single part on this car is ridiculously expensive to replace. It has all of the drawbacks of a foreign car but none of the perks. The parts are expensive and it is difficult to work on, but it has the same lifespan as your typical domestic car. The good things about it are the handling and the appearance, its a beautiful car. The gas mileage is okay, nothing impressive. The Sebring is fun to drive but upkeep is very costly I have owned mine for less than 3 months but Ive already had to make over $600 in repairs and that does not include labor.

  • Is it really that good? - 1996 Chrysler Sebring

    This is the almost perfect car. All it would need is all my personalizations. Its good the way it is. It has luxury with style. This is good for whomever the driver may be.

  • OK Car - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I bought the car with 140,000 miles on it at the end of 2004. Now it has 156,000 miles on it. It is hard to tell the mpg that it gets because the Odometer goes out for long periods of times (like 2 to 6 weeks at a time), though it does keep accurate mileage. My front passenger side wheels lug nuts came one day and the wheel came off when I pulled in my drive way. The Engine has begun to shake violently and consistently and I dont know why. The ride is OK, but could be better. The convertible top is tearing along the seams, and will be very costly to fix, approximately $1200.

  • Buyers Beware!!!!! - 1996 Chrysler Sebring

    I havent even had my Sebring LXI for 1 year and I have already had problems! My sunroof doesnt shut and to fix it will be over $500, my transmission is slipping, the side panel of the exterior passenger side door is coming off, my drivers side door is loose and does not close properly (bolts need to be tightened and to do that I have to take off the fender = big project,not fun), windows dont always like to close. I thought I was in love with the car when I first bought it but now I know it was just a huge waste of money!!!!

    I bought this car from my mother, who bought it new. We both have enjoyed it. My only disappointment is the sound system. The controls on the console do not work properly. Other than that it would be perfect.

  • First Car - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    This car was a great first car. The major problem that I had with the car was that everything started to break at aroung 75,000 miles. The air-conditioner is a real problem. I had it fixed once, but it broke again a year later. The compressor broke in two. That is a fundamental design problem. Also this car is very expensive to fix. I would suggest if you like the looks of this car get a newer one and trade it in before it reaches 75,000 miles. If you are on the tall side the seat may be a little uncomfortable on long trips. It tends to round your shoulders forward which on short trips is fine, but it really starts to hurt your back after a while.

  • Biggest Mistake - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    This car seemed like a great investment at 60,000 miles. It was initially very fun to drive, the pick up was great. Then one thing after another started to go: power locks, power seat, brake problems, the wheel literally fell off of the axle, the struts needed to be replaced, the transmission is going, cruise control works sometimes when it wants to and sometimes shuts my car off, problems with the battery connectors... Ive put way too much money into this car. Also, the seats are not comfortable for long trips and theres very little cup holder space.

  • Nice, but Ive had better. - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I bought my LXi when it was 7 years old with 74,500 miles on it. The previous owner had obviously taken excellent care of the vehicle because it was in pristine condition. Ive put about 51,300 miles on it over the past year and a half and it still runs great. I havent had any major problems...yet. My transmission isnt slipping, but Im leaking fluid like a sieve. Other than that, Ive only had to replace the water pump, timing belt, service the brakes, and get scheduled oil changes and tune-ups.

  • Great car - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
    By -

    I use to drive a continential and bought this car. I love it. It has all the things in it that i had in the other except for less room. Its alot of fun to drive also.
