  Driving a ragtop - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
  By sirjerryk - August 16 - 3:33 pm

  I had a pony convertible before and did not realize when I sold it I would miss having a small convertible. I found the 96 Chrysler Sebring to be both stylish and fun to drive. The car handle well on the freeway and hills slow it down. I realize that this car has some problems as the Tack and Odometer did not work as well as the gas gauge. I am looking at some $$$ ahead but I still think it worth it.

  My toy - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
  By James - August 14 - 2:07 pm

  I have owned this car for 3 years and i have had no problems at all with it. I have replaced the battery. I average about 32 mpg on the road and 25 around town. 4 cyl is peppy and reliable.

  Fun but not worth the trouble - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
  By Bob D - July 30 - 12:00 pm

  After reading other reviews it has become apparent to me that my experience with the Sebring is somewhat typical. In general, lots of things need tweaking and repairs are costly and frequent. 125k miles - replaced/repaired - panel cluster - many radio components - brakes through and through - fan assembly - soon to replace the rubbers that seat the spark plug tubes (rough idle - arcing) gotta remove the engine cover... we all know what that can cost. Lots of rust spots on the way. When I buy a used car the next time I will consult Edmunds first. Sebring - not again, but the car still remains a head turner. Too much invested to sell but worried what will go next.

  Not the best convertible, great to drive - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
  By iisk8 - July 23 - 10:05 am

  Bought this car new, has needed brakes continually. Just found out entire undercarriage is rotting, and last year the drain holes plugged and the interior flooded blowing the amp and rear speakers. Have to say loved the car, but would not consider buying the updated model. I only get about 10 miles to the gallon on local driving which is all I do.

  Wonderful fun car - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
  By flygirl - March 7 - 1:03 pm

  This car was a great find at $5.5K. As long as you keep an eye on & prevent/repair the usual Chrysler stuff (timing at 100k, belts, on time maintenance, regularly clean trans) youll find it lasts forever. I have no garage, the car is 13 w/158k and is just starting to show rust speckles, but few. Front end has been a challenge, but overall this car hasnt cost much more than normal maintenance. Love the pep and sleekness of the car. I even tow packaged it and tow my canoe/trailer.

  Great first car! - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
  By adominique3 - June 20 - 4:16 pm

  I bought this car with over 100k miles, and had few problems with it over the 4 years I owned it. The biggest problem that I had was a worn out head gasket, but that was after I had the car 4 years and put 92,000 miles on it. Dependable, good gas mileage (28-33 mpg w/ the V6), and sporty look. Got it at a great price, and definitely got my moneys worth.

  Red Rag Top - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
  By AL. ROMANO - April 2 - 5:05 pm

  It has been a wonderful car to drive and has never let me down or stranded. The power top and power windows have never failed to open or close. The top has a year or two left and it needs a couple of new tires. It may also need a new muffler soon. The top is not ripped and there are no dents just some minor scratches on the bumpers. The leather interior has no rips.

  Not too bad - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
  By rose - January 6 - 5:21 pm

  I love driving my car. Its great. The passenger door, below the handle rusted right through. A weird place to rust. Maybe thats why theyre not suppose to be driven on the winter.

  Chrysler Sebring Convertible - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
  By Deb - November 21 - 8:27 pm

  I absolutely love my Sebring Convertible!!! Its a fun and sexy car. It handles like a dream. My only complaint is that for the size of the car, the gas mileage should be much better. Other that that... its a fantastic ride. After almost 11 years, it sill looks new. No major problems at all. Ill buy another one as soon as this one gives out.

  10 years old and still going - 1996 Chrysler Sebring
  By Alex - March 31 - 9:58 pm

  I own a couple of cars, the Sebring is my daily driver. I like the gas milage it gets, last check was 28 mpg in town. I also like the sunroof and quality leather seats. I havent had any transmission trouble yet (108k). the steering is all kinds of messed up. It jerks all over, but only when touring. The cup holder (yes, there is only 1) is in a weird place. I have been battling a leak of antifreeze for a while. The passenger side lower outside door panel is loose and will probably fall off shortly. I have seen a few with the same problem. Overall its a good car.
