Overview & Reviews
Remote keyless-entry system gets a panic feature, and a HomeLink Universal Transmitter debuts on this suave sport coupe. Three new paint colors are also available. Chrysler dumps its final K-Car variant this year in favor of the Sebring Convertible. Based on the Cirrus platform and drivetrains, this drop top shares only the name of the Sebring Coupe.

The car that started it all - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
By Charlies Dad - February 17 - 5:25 pmBefore the Sebring Convertible, the Sebring Coupe set the standard for car design in the 90s. This car has been a great car, reliable, beautiful, and high-quality. It handles beautifully, cruises smoothly, and when I first got it, people asked if it was the new version of the Lexus SC400! It still looks beautiful today, and the paint is tough as nails, and has held up extremely well, with really only scheduled maintenance needed.

Dont do it - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
By Jim - January 14 - 5:28 pmI rolled the dice and hoped I wouldnt have trouble, I was persistent at dealer during warranty and got water pump, power steering pump, alternator replaced. Electrical problems cost $800 after warranty. Never again.

Looks good on the outside, but... - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
By varnk - November 4 - 3:03 pmI love the look. It definitely turns heads for its uniquness. However, there are design problems in the interior that disappointing. Horn is hard to find. Map lights on the mirror will drain the battery dry if you forget to shut them off. Only one cheesy cup holder. Creaky and flimsy plastic interior. Confusing heating/cooling control. Keyless remote has very poor range. I also have had to replace several very expensive computer sensors in addition to water pump and tensioner pully. Total cost over $800. Also has an expensive exhaust system. If it ever has a problem, the whole thing is one very expensive piece.

Too Costly to Repair - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
By LRN2SWM - September 27 - 2:00 amI have owned my car for almost 2 years... I bought it from a guy who ordered it off the line. My experience with this car has been mostly a nightmare! I had to replace the engine at 97,000 and now the transmission is slipping at 115,000. The car is foreign built so getting aftermarket parts at shops such as AutoZone is IMPOSSIBLE! It is a very expesive auto to fix because of the engine style and the Mopar parts. I would recommend not purchasing the COUPE version, since the convertible is easier to find parts for. Although it is a sporty looking car, there are better options for the repair costs.

Mitsubishi at Heart = Saving Grace - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
By Matteo J - August 10 - 2:00 amPretty happy overall. Fairly normal maintenance items (except for 3 replacement TPSs). Cramped V6 means costly labor and difficult maintance at home (like getting to those back three plugs to change them). Automatic transmission sluggish. Comfortable and fun to drive regardless. Real problem is dealing with Chrysler. Very poor customer service, unwilling to give customer benefit of the doubt in any case (even when they made the original mistake-no service contract docs despite multiple requests), mediocre technicians at dealerships, big markups on Mopar parts (bigger on Mitsubishi). Willing to try Mitsubishi again. Never owning another Chrysler. Ever.

Original Owner - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
By LegalEagle - June 4 - 2:00 amI am the original owner and took care of it since day 1. Problems with brakes needing replaced every three months or so after 36,000. Has over 105,000 and am now having problems ... distributor needs replaced, tune up cost $600, did not pass emissions testin, engine idles rough, had to replace electonic circuit board because tach and odometer stopped working ($600 repair). Stereo shorts out. Parts are expensive but the car is fun to drive. I will be selling within the next 6 months and do not plan to buy another. Too expensive to maintain.

Pseudo-Sport Near Luxury - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
By MW1000 - June 1 - 2:00 amV6 is flawless at 80k miles with 20-30 mpg, decent power (160hp) but not great. Trans was rebuilt already. Handles like a real sports car, yet soaks up rough pavement. Great looks! Front spoiler is too low, scrapes driveways and hits parking blocks. Side windows seal poorly. Ive been using it as a delivery car for the past 13k miles without any real problems except the front brakes make noise despite repeated attempts to fix them. Tune-up is a pain to do. Timing belt MUST be replaced every 60k miles.
