Its not a Mustang , -no way!! The COPS know this is not a hot rod!! I do not get tickets for speeding, love it !! This Sebring is not great at cornering , but its got a low center of gravity, great touring car ,, good for N.E.where I live. I can carry 4 people 5 medium size people, the ride is nice.The Sebring does get good -very good gas milage, surprising,, its a people car. Stereo works wonders, over all good for seniors, families, women, and students. Disadvantages :The car is heavy ,solid, good for safety in a wreck , however Joe Hot Rods needs to stay away from this one,,its a touring car , not the Indy 500 COP blow out turbo tornado. Also bad on repairs ---once over 100k,, you need to rebuild the car , all the way , use Nappa parts ,its a wise move. Chrysler does not make cars for long lasting , every Chrysler product gobbles parts , the convertible is some what better than the rest of the line, but expect to put $$$ in. Best bet, buy form a dealer with a warrantee or Joe Mechanic, that basically kept the car up. Happy touring .. oh the AC,,heating system is excellent ,even with the top down!

I just purchased my Sebring from a dealership auct

I own a 5spd and I haven't seen too many more like it. I recently had a stage one clutch in it and I'm also going to put a hyper chip in it and possibly NOS. I've got over 200,000 miles on it but it drives like it's off the showroom floor. I have outrun brand new mustangs 5.0 & quite a few brand new trucks as well. And I haven't even put in my chip, or cold air intake. I don't think that I get anywhere near the estimated mpg on either. It is what it is... I've got a service soon light on and it lists all kinds of possibilities. It's all mainly oxygen sensors and other small thing's. I absolutely love my car. Can't wait until I'm done with it, just to see how fast a 3.0 can go..

Great car for less $$

I purchased this car when it was 3 years old with 30K miles. I've had it now 11 years and put 50K more miles on it. Extremely low maintenance. I would not be sceptical to head out on a nice long vacation in it, as is. Very enjoyable to own.

This car is worth more than the $3,000 I paid for it, especially if you consider the negative experiences that are reported. My Sebring was purchased with 140,000 miles on it, and from what I noticed, the previous owner took GOOD CARE OF IT. Obviously if you neglect your car, run it to the ground, and forget to change the oil on time, sludge will become a harsh reality. Timing belt or chain? No issues here. This car is very underrated, and I think more people need to report the positives on this car, such as, the sharp style of the body, the actual quality of the 2.7 liter engine, and the interior build quality. I use Mobile 1 extended performance synthetic motor oil. I love my Sebring.

It's been a couple years since I posted, so I wanted to do a follow up. My car now has 93,000 miles on it and has lost considerable fuel mileage. I'll have it tuned up this year, but stay away from Bosch Platinum+4 plugs. I used those in my last tune up and lost 3-4 mpg's. Other than that I'm still happy with my car. The engine is clean, no sign of sludge and I still run full synthetic oil through it. I've been doing a lot more driving with it over the last year and have no qualms with the reliability of my car. My car, by the way, is actually an LX, but with the V-6 engine. Edmunds doesn't include the V-6 option with the LX.

I bought this car with no pre-conceptions of Chrysler, I'm from the UK. It was exceptionally clean and well cared for with 114k on the clock, looked factory new inside and out. It's reliable, nice to drive, excellent driver ergonomics. The interior is tasteful and well built. The bodywork is of high quality. BUT! before you buy, check to see if the timing chain and water pump have been changed. Be aware that when the water pump fails as they all do eventually, it will end up fouling the engine oil if left too long as it's INSIDE the crankcase and runs off the timing chain. Repair is approx. $1350.00 at a Chrysler dealer. Be sure to factor this in when haggling! Check your coolant often!

I Have Owed 2 Chrysler Sebring Coupes between the years of 2001 and 2002. I love the cars. The body style and the interior is very nice. I enjoy the 3.0 engine. I just wish it had a little more power. But. My issues I'm having on both cars are a Over Heating Issue. Seems like when Im driving up a hill, the car over heats. And, In the summer time. The car over heats alot.. I Have to run the air constantly to keep the fans going.. I was wondering if anyone else has this issue and if anyone could tell me what that is...

I bought my Sebring earlier this year, and fell in love immediately...that was until I began to have issues. Whole front end shot out, replaced axle assembly and ball joints, $750. the previous owners were older, had it dealer serviced regularly. I recently had to get rid of my Sebring because the timing chains went, screwing up the entire engine. My mechanic told me I'd need a rebuild or replacement, $2900 at least. Not worth it on a 9 year old car with 120k. Loved the car, still kills me I had to get rid of it. But I do not miss the headaches and stress, this car is a total bad buy. I now have a '09 Sentra,while I'll always miss my loaded convertible, I feel a lot safer now.

Had it 3 years put in over 3500 bucks into it one week after driving it off the lot had some silly light sensor go out. I was not very happy with the quality of the car, the last straw was the reclining seat part broke so it was a hazard to drive thinking it was going to pop out of the lock i had made since it was going to cost over 500 to get it fixed.

I bought this car from a used car dealership and had to replace the transmission after 6 months and at less than 60,000 miles. This car must have been in an accident because I was replacing wheel bearings and front tie rod ends frequently (bearings once/yr). When I sold it the car had coolant leaking into the engine, transmission fluid leaking, and the transmission was dying for the second time. I drove a lot of miles on it, but always had the regular maintenance performed. Chrysler's are known for their transmission issues and front end problems, which is exactly what I had. I will never buy a Chrysler again.

I purchased the car brand new. It drives extremely well. Had to replace back struts and battery after 8 years of driving. Love the car. My only complaint is the ceiling is a little low for the taller people in my family. I'd purchase the same care again, no problem.

I bought this car with 58,315 miles on the 2.7 V-6 engine. Knowing the issues associated with this engine, I performed a motor flush, switched to full synthetic motor oil, and replaced the PCV valve. Also, I had the transmission flushed, cooling system flushed, and tune up performed. This is a good, reliable car and solid for being 8 years old. Not knowing how the previous owner cared for the vehicle, I had all that preventive maintenance done. I average about 27 mpg with my Sebring and for the most part, I'm satisfied.

I bought my LXi January 2007 with 59,000 miles on it right out of a lease. This car was my second car and i wanted something sporty, but reliable. I could not believe i found it. I unfortunately will be parting with is soon because I am 6' tall and there is no back seat space even for a car seat, but I can't complain. I didn't want anyone in my car to ruin it anyway! Such a fun car with the sport shifter. I unfortunately got stuck with a noisy suspension that has never given me any problems! First problem I am dealing with is at 115,000 miles the alternator died. That was my turning moment to say I should probably upgrade now before more happens :*(

46,000 Miles, 1 owner. I have replaced: front end (2X, no grease fittings), 2 rear struts, cat converter, both passenger & driver front door panels, air bag electronics, AC compressor (2X), power door locks (2X), trunk pneumatic, wiper motors, headlamps (4X). I repainted to cover skin cancer (Chrysler admitted paint issue). Engine lite comes on and engine stalls intermittently w/o cause. Foam in pass compartment deteriorates and blows black plastic over everything. Plastic trim around doors brittle, cracking. Total out-of-pocket cost for these repairs to date: $10,700 [$4000 this year so far]. Chrysler admits all of these are their fault but none are part of any recall.

Had this car for 8 years and it now has 158,000 miles. Ran fine until now. I guess it's because of old age/mileage. Now I'm having problems with antifreeze leaking and sometime overheating. I replaced the water pump and thermostat and thermostat housing. All this in a year's time. Still having overheating and antifreeze leaking issues. I hope it can be fixed but it is now starting to nickle and dime me. I guess I can't complain since it never gave me a problem until 2007. But hey, look at my mileage. I love this car and enjoyed it. I just hate to part with it.

After reading about the 2.7 V-6 issues I ran motor flush through the engine and replaced the oil with full synthetic. Purchased in a 5 qt container, the price isn't much more than if I purchased standard oil. The car is quiet, very comfortable to drive, handles curves far better than Chevy Malibu, and gets good fuel mileage. I'd recommend this car to anyone looking.

Very Happy after 8 years

I really lucked out with this car. I got it for a wonderful price and nothing major has gone wrong with it at all. I have been so happy with this car. I don't know if I just got really lucky but it has out performed my previous 3 Mazdas.. I couldn't continue with the Mazdas because they got too pricey for me at the time so I went American and boy am I happy I did. Only had to do basic maintenance- brake pads- rotors - new tires etc. But nothing else! I hope a I have as good luck with my next purchase.

Have very cold winters here. Bought with less than 20,000 miles on it. Resistor in blower motor broke, REPEATEDLY! Had persistent front axle problems! Once original brakes needed replacement, they were never right. Wiper motor died. Transmission troubles. ALL window motors quit working! Once the extended service warranty ran out, all these were VERY expensive to fix! Brake pedal FROZEN at cold temps! Apparently I'm the only one who had this problem? We don't have a garage. Took it back to the dealer over & over. They couldn't fix it! This car was supposed to go with my daughter when she went away to a school farther north. She ended up with the "new" car as I didn't trust this one!

I love the comfort and handling of this car. It does have the 2.7 V-6, which I am familiar with the oil sludge issue, but will take care to prevent clogging with regular oil changes and motor flushes. This car is quick upon acceleration, quiet, offers a soft, stable ride, as well as good gas mileage. I'm averaging around 28 miles per gallon in my Sebring.

I have been the only owner of my Sebring 2002 Convertible. I have changed the oil religiously about every 3000 miles, changed the tranny fluid, and done other preventative maintenance as suggested. The only problem I have had with my vehicle is with the seat belt light staying on. I changed out a fuse and had the box reset and that helped for about two weeks. The light came back on. It doesn't bother me to have the light on so I leave it alone. The only other problem I had was with some small piece in the system that cost about $100 (it caused the car to shut down at stop lights). I got that fixed and everything is ok again. It has been a great car..no lemon. I am over 100k mi. now.

I bought this baby blue convertible new. It gets really outstanding mileage that it automatically checks for you. I am getting around 32 highway. The only problem I have had during my 70,000 miles was at about 50,000 it wouldn't come out of 1st gear! I drove it slowly, to the dealership where I purchased it. It was a small plastic piece that I learned Chrysler had in it that wore out about that mileage. I had extended warranty and they fixed it. Glad I had it. It is a snazzy looking car, and being blonde, I look good in it with the top down and Andre Bocelli playing when I head to the beach. Great fun and would buy it again in a heartbeat.

Bought it new 8 years ago and still love this thing! Its so stylish and luxurious for $22,000. After 7 years the battery died once, the struts rattle on bumps and could use a replacement, and I need to replace the wiper blades because squeak really loud when you use them, so it has its typical wear and tear but the interior still has a newish smell amazing because I have 3 kids riding in it all the time! There is a lot of road noise but overall it is my favorite car I've had. I love the way it drives, it has sporty suspension which turns really well and has really good pick-up for a small V6 which means good gas mileage, I would say it gets about 23mph. Good job Chrysler!

Make sure you get all of your oil changes every 3000 miles. We did not know at the time of purchase that this particular engine has an internal timing chain, in the engine. They wanted to replace our engine with the 3.0L because the 2.7L has such a bad problem with this. We had to have the engine rebuilt and it was almost impossible to get parts for the timing chain assembly. Stick with a car that has a timing belt. Don't buy one with the timing chain in the engine, it only leads to a more expensive repair.

Like the cars look. Fun to drive, just wish it wasn't always to get service. How can they make such good mini-vans (I am on my 3rd), yet make such a poor quality convertible. There has never been a time when there wasn't something seriously wrong with it. It leaks trans fluid, oil and coolant. I just got it inspected again at the dealership, currently, the trans solenoid pack needs replacing, the oil pan and oil pressure sending switch is leaking, the rack and pinion is shot, the door "clips" are broken, the leather seats are tearing and I just replaced the right front hub bearing. The windshield washer works good though.

I chose this car because it has a lot better style than the 2002 chevy malibu, or a 2002 ford focus, chrysler has always been good with designs. The leather still smells new 7 years later and only the struts and wiper blades need to be replaced. The 2.7 V6 seems small but it really has a lot of zip. Overall its a nice car with lots of style interior and exterior, even 7 years later it looks really good. The FWD is still good in Michigan winters!

My husband surprised me 9/21/09 with a 2002 4dr LX Chrysler Sebring. The Car is beautiful but it didn't come with the transmitter for the alarm. I took it to Mt Ephraim Dodge 9/26/09 and paid $131.61 for a new transmitter. 10/01/09 my car would not start! I called the dealer and was told maybe the alarm burned out the battery. Now I have to pay $98.00 for a diagnostic test. On top of that when I turn my steering wheel to its furthest point left or right it makes this screeching sound. I was told I need to $48.99 to check it. If I need a Power Steering Pump it will cost me $110 for parts and if it is the Rack N pennon (??) the parts will cost $600.72 not including labor.

Bought this vehicle in November of '05 with 35k miles. I had it about 2 months when the blower became very loud and annoying. In October of '07, the transmission control module went out, costing about $200. I read some reviews at that point and debated selling it. Since it was paid off I decided to keep it. In March of '08, at 77k, the car died. 4 weeks and $4,400 later, I got my car back after the computer and entire engine had been replaced. Apparently the car has problems with oil sludge, although I had kept up on all routine maintenance. Worst month of my life, all while expecting my first child. I will NEVER EVER buy a Chrysler again. Don't buy this car!

Love to drive my Sebring convertible. Great performance for 70,000 miles on it. Had to have transmisson solenoid replaced because my dog put the gear shift in reverse when we were in the carp pool lane going 80mph. Nothing happened immediately, however 2 years later we noticed leaks under the engine. My husband thought it was master cylinder fluid leaking. The transmission was covered under warranty.

I bought this car new. With 2 weeks or purchase I noticed that the brakes were sketchy when the roads were wet. You could slam the pedal to the floor and the car just wanted to keep on going. The worst issue was when there was snow or ice on the road. I brought this car in to the dealership twice to have them check the brakes. They claimed there was nothing wrong. The back wheels would slip horribly in the snow. There was almost no control of this vehicle in those conditions. I went off the road twice with it driving 5 miles and hour. Chrysler refused to admit to a problem or do anything about it. I has 3 others drive the thing in snow and they all agreed that there was a problem .

Update: 44,000 miles. My "black-on- black beauty" 5 speed manual continues to be just that. The mirror-like finish remains deep and clear, and still maintains like-new appearance. The last tank of fuel (city driving) yielded 23 mpg, and that fluctuates in a range of 21-23 city--all on original plugs. With the exception of two switch replacements in the heat-ac blower, the car has been absolutely mechanically excellent. One change noted, however, is the presence in Winter, when the cabin is cold, of loud squeaky sounds where the top meets the windshield frame. As the cabin heats up the sound diminishes in loudness. Handling remains tight & I love the 5 speed control in snow and rain.

I purchased my 02' Sebring LXI coupe used with just over $100,000 miles on it and I was going to be the 3rd owner. I was trading up from my 1997 Sebring coupe. Yep, that's right. I loved my 97' so much I was determined to get another. All maint. records came w/car and throughout very little troubles. And I have done nothing to it but new tires and oil changes in the 2 years I have owned it. It now has 125,000 miles and runs great. I feel so lucky to have such a great car. They are EXCELLENT cars, I highly recommend. Chrysler and other domestic cars are all I will ever own.

I have a 2002 Sebring LX 4 cylinder. I bought it from a "little old lady" with 5k miles on it a few years ago. It now has 50,000 and I couldn't be happier. I don't understand all the bad press, this car has been trouble-free except for the heater blower motor resistor, a $20 part I installed myself. Otherwise, nothing, not even the battery has gone bad. Has decent acceleration for a 4, and I get 29 highway and 25 average. I think the styling is great and as used car values go, you won't find a better bang for your buck. 6 cyl buyers beware: as with all 2.7 6 cyl Chryslers, make sure you CHANGE YOUR OIL regularly. One of the best I've owned, and I"ve had a BUNCH!

I am an ASE Certified Auto Tech who owns one, so knowing these vehicles is helpful in writing this review. The 2.4L DOHC 4-Cylinder has more than enough pep for running around town and on the highway without the A/C, but you can feel a big loss of power with the A/C on. The exterior styling has to be one of the nicest I have seen. The interior styling is also very nice, good layout of all the controls. The sound system is superb! This car seems to go through rotors from warpage quite often, it also seems to wear out outer tie rod ends quickly, and the auto trans in these cars go bad just looking at them, without proper care and feeding. Overall, I would recommend this car to a friend.

It is now several years since my first posting. I still love my GTC, and it still looks showroom-clean. Twice the blower switch needed replacement, but aside from one headlight, the car has been trouble-free. The 5 speed is the best on snow and ice, and I like the control in rush hour (especially as a way of conserving fuel given the current cost). MPG in the city hovers between 21 and 24 depending on driving conditions. My second review (first in 2006) still radiates enthusiasm for this car. I still wish 1st gear had less resistance off the line, but all in all, I continue to love this car. A little Meguiar's Instant Detail keeps the black a high gloss and the wheels looking good.

I'm amazed at the problems I see on the reviews. I bought this car brand new, with 7 miles on it, and have had no problems whatsoever. It now has 54,000 miles, and I haven't even had to change the battery or the brakes. Everything is running great. I honestly can't find a car on the road that I'd rather have. Plus, even though the car is six- years old, I still get compliments on it regularly.

I got this car 2 years ago, used. Had 60k. Not bad for the price I paid. A couple months into owning the car, I noticed a slight knocking in the engine. I took it back to the dealer to get checked out. I was told there were no problems, everything was working fine. Six months later, car overheated and had to have the water manifold replaced. Seemed ok afterwards. Yet, a couple months after, more problems. The window control panel broke twice. Heat blower stopped working. Even with regular oil changes, the engine died. $2900 to replace, and only worth $3000. Chrysler needs to put more effort into making sure they are selling a quality product.

Owned a LeBaron b4 this one. Got 200K miles from that so no prob buying American again. Drove my 02 Sebring 2 yrs till I got hit by a drunk on the frwy. Hit center div & shoulder wall. Then took 2 head on hits while disabled in the slow lane at 5:30am. I opened my eyes and saw the 3rd car coming and jumped the heck outta there and over the wall. Yes I could still run and jump! That car was smashed up everywhere except INSIDE. The passenger compartment was largely intact. A front passenger would've been worse off than I, but there's no way I should've just walked away. My glasses scratched my nose and I scratched my finger going over the wall outside. Not another drop of blood spilt.

Formerly a Jaguar owner going through a mid-life crisis, I decided to bite the proverbial bullet purchasing a Bright Silver Sebring GTC. Though not a Jaguar by far, it is an absolute joy to drive, except for the constant, rough transmission shifting in and out of 1st gear (auto), rain dropping in with a window open (a simple rain drip molding at the windshield would solve this issue), cheap interior trim that even Hyundai surpasses in quality, lack of what we currently deem necessary standard equipment absent, unavailable, or non-equipped from the factory, and an enhanced ownership program would be nice, after all, isn't that what the merger with Mercedes was meant to do? Where's the substance?!

This car is fun but all the design/build shortcuts make it a question mark as to how long it will hold up. I drive more than 20K miles a year and can see potential problems ahead. At 50K the brakes seem like they need to be replaced, the suspension groans and creaks, the body has lots of rattles and there are small but annoying noises coming from behind the dash. The washer fluid freezes in the winter, the car takes very long to warm up, there is not even a height adjustment on the driver's seat and I can see wear on the convertible top from rubbing on the frame. i wish that I could say lots of good things about it. I really wanted to "drive American" but this unit is a disappointment!

I did a spreadsheet comparison before I bought the car and am satisfied that I made a good choice. I have had more repairs than I anticipated, but it (so far) never stranded me on the road. Mid-grade gasoline provides good performance with the 5-speed manual transmission. I don't notice any difference with premium gasoline. The turning radius is too wide, but I am comparing it to my Mitsubishi 3000GT. I just looked at a another(2008)coupe, with manual transmission. It seems like a great car, but it offers too few advantages over my paid-off Sebring to persuade me to "upgrade" at this time. I will keep it in mind, however, as the Sebring ages.

Bought new-78k currently. Regular maintenance is all. Did not replace brakes until 50k-85%city driving. Mileage is 24 with no a/c and about 22 with in the city. Highway is 28 - 30 with cruise at 70 ish. Leather has held up well-clean 2-3 times a yr. No rattles or squeaks, V6 still is a blast to drive - very revvy and punchy. Tranny is smooth and reliable. No electrical problem other than seat heater relay going out. Still on factory alt and water pump. No major leaks of any kind. Handles ok but could use stiffer shocks/struts to really handle well. Overall it is a quiet, economical sedan to own. i just wish resell was higher on Chryslers. That is what would make it a great preowned car.

First year where heated seats were offered, and is a "must." Light colored leather seats hold up well, even with family use. This is the only convertible that would work for my family size wise (great trunk space and can even fit a bale of hay in it!). Only issue ever with this car is "nagging" Air Bag light warning, that can't seem to be corrected. No set offs or anything though. And the car has been perfect otherwise. Have people offering to buy it often, but can't seem to part with it.

Bought my 02 Chrysler Sebring 4D Sedan brand new for just under $16K. No problems except for a bad battery. Comfy car, great stereo, smooth ride. Only complaint is gas mileage. With stop and go traffic in Atlanta, I only get about 21/22 miles per gallon. But, other than that, I'm a happy customer. Will probably buy a Sebring convertible when (if??) my 02 ever wears out... this is the first non- import car I've ever owned and I have no complaints!

This is an update to an original post - now I have 73k odo and still relatively trouble free - extended warranty took care of all. Upper strut mounts on front were replaced causing cupping on tires - I thought it was alignment. Seat heater relay replaced as well as rear spring cushions - all faulty from factory. These are minor issues that could happen with any make. The car still delivers 23 - 24 city and 28 hi way. I just now replaced the front brakes at 71k (that is a first). Car is still tight, no road noise, great mileage, excellent sound system, leather has held up well. This is my wife's daily driver, no kids.

We bought our car used with 47000km on it. since buying it we put 75000km. problems started with the heat blower at around 100000km we were supposed to be covered bumper to bumper warranty but it showed that the coolant system needed a hose replace and it wasn't covered. so we had to fork over $600. around the same time the transmission started to stick and several tests could find no problems but every time you shifted fro park to drive etc, you got a jolt. we ended up leaving the transmission for awhile and got into an accident that totaled the car, hit on the passengers side front end, my husband, my 8 month old baby and myself walked away with minor cuts and bruises, the car was great!

The Sebring GTC is my second convertible, much different from my '95 Cutlass Supreme. I plan on using this car for commuting on a year 'round basis (in Vermont). It remains to be seen how it will fare in winter, but with FWD and good snow tires I think it will be OK. Gas mileage is good at 28-30 mpg on regular, the top is truly weatherproof and interior quiet with top up.

I wish I had done more research before buying this car. From day one, I have always heard a whine especially during acceleration. These cars eat brakes. It's ridiculous. A couple of weeks ago, the car stranded me, transmission woes. I had to have the planetary gears replaced three times in the course of ten days. Finally they replaced the cas" I assume that houses the gears. The day after I get it home, the OBD light comes on. My plans this weekend? To find another car.

I purchased my 2002 Limited convertible in Jan 2006. It had 30,000 miles on it. I have had no mechanical problems, just change the oil and go. Power, handling and looks are great. The only unusual problem I had was that one of the chrome wheels rusted around the rim and it was impossible to get a good seal to the tire. So, I was getting a constant slow leak I swapped the chrome wheels with some aftermarket rims and new tires and the car looks even better than before!

Having owned 3 Accords prior to my Sebring, I was surprisingly pleased at how much I enjoy driving this car! I love the exterior styling and get many compliments on it. Granted ... the 4 cycl engine is a bit rough, but I find it very responsive and able to make a freeway entrance ... okay, noisily & not particularly refined when you floor it... but I have never wished for more power. The front seats are very comfortable, the handling is quite good & a good ride. I am always surprised when reviews come up short ... and I, personally, have had zero problems with the reliability of my car.

This is my first convertible. I primarily bought it for my wife but I love it too. The car has great pickup and gas mileage for a large car is good, about 22-25 miles per gallon. My one complaint would be the tires leaking air. My tire place claims that it was the chrome wheels. However, I recently purchased new tires and they have not loss any so far. My other complaint would be the brakes had to be replaced at 30,000 miles which seems too quick.

My black-on-black beauty consistently turns in 21-24 mpg in the city. Love the control afforded by the 5 speed. Wish 1st gear afforded greater and longer oomph off the line. That being said, the power is adequate and the growl audible as the GTC whines through the gears quickly toward a rapidly achieved 60. Four-windows-down is terrific! Black finish is mirror- like perfect. I actually like the non- glitz of the interior with minimal amenities. The 4 CD changer is outstanding! The heater in Winter (or cool evenings with top down)is the best! Inside of top is well padded and nicely hides structural bars. Back seat room is simply the best! The top boot cover is easy-on and easy-off.

We bought this car new over my wife's continuous objections; she wanted a BMW or SUV. Since we are not truck drivers and with two small kids, I decided on this car due to value, space, design and reputation. The car has served us very well. I would rather spend my money on something more meaningful than a stupid car; especially since my kids have turned the back seat in to a drive- in restaurant. I love the gas mileage and handling even though I am a speed enthusiast at heart. The only repair on the car has been the break pads and we had a problem with the A/C that was fixed for $125. The foregoing is after almost four years and 29,000 local driving miles. You can not go wrong for the money.

Although the car is fun to drive when everything is right, it has rarely been right for any extended period of time. The first three years we had 3 starter changes, one computer change, and various other engine problems. It died on us 3 times. After that a series of repairs were needed because various parts of the undercarriage support kept breaking. It felt like an old clunker. Even the new struts we bought were defective. Would strongly recommend that anyone buying a Sebring plan on also buying an extended warranty.

Originally purchased an '01 LXI but totaled it 13 months later when another driver ran a red light. Both air bags deployed and the unibody absorbed the impact, protecting me from any bodily injuries. I immediately purchased an 02 LXI and was happy to see that the V6 was improved with a double overhead cam. The acceleration is addicting and hitting 110 mph with the top down was a super thrill. I upgraded the tires to a high performance Yokohama AS430 and this LXI craves the curves at any speed. Drove from Texas to Georgia with two teenagers for a two week vacation and had plenty of room for all the bagage. This car was a breeze to drive for 8hrs or more at a time, plus it's easy on gas.

In April of 2005 I bought a used 2002 Chrysler Sebring Sedan LX. I was coming from a 2000 Neon that suffered a lot of road and engine noise. Needless to say I was more than impressed with the 2.7L V6 and adequate interior space. Like others I think the dash design is a little dated but the fit and finish is nice. The front seats are wide and supportive. So far no mechanical problems, however the engine must be revved to about 5500 rpms to get any notable acceleration. Once and a while when the headlights or driving lights are on, and I turn on the turn signal the interior lights blink on and off - has anyone else had this problem?

I bought this car used and I LOVE it. We have a 2 year old in a car seat and a baby on the way, so we needed a car with plenty of room. It's got enough room in the back seat for adults to be comfortable even if front seats are pushed all the way back. I looked into foreign make cars, but ones this price range were so tiny. I get lots of compliments because even though this is our family car, it looks really nice. My dad has this car too (and he's a tough sell). The less-than- great gas mileage doesn't bother me since I work, go to church and my daughter's sitter are all within a 3 mile radius of my home.

I no longer feel 'safe' in this car. type 2.7 at google to see problems related to this engine.

Car is a great car if you want to pay full price for limited life of the engine.The problem with this car is the unreliabilty issues with the 6.7 liter engine. I had the car checked by a Chrysler center the day before I left on vacation and the service department could find nothing wrong even though a service engine light had come on. 250 miles away from home, the engine light came back on and I was on the interstate on a Saturday with two small kids and nothing open. Rented a car for three days and another week while waiting on a part to come in.A year later at 74k miles just over warranty, the engine went. Repair shop said familiar story on these 6.7L engines. Cost $3,000 for new motor.

I have the 2.7 L six cylinder version.It handles great and has lots of punch. Very quiet ride too. I only have had one problem. One of the transmission cooling lines became loose and had to be reclamped. Happenned at 37,000 miles so was not covered under basic 3 year, 36,000 warranty. My luck!

I once owned a 1997 Chrysler JXI convertible, and still own a 1996 Chrysler LXI coupe. Both were wonderful cars, and this sterling blue metallic 2002 Sebring Limited convertible is fantastic for the money. I love the cream and navy interior. I never considered myself a Chrysler booster, but I have to say the fit and finish are great, and it is just so fun, and a great drive even in the cold with the heat-adjustable seats, great handling and autostick. (mine came with all the toys.) The autostick is really great for getting better mileage, which is about 22-23 city, 28-30 highway, and the autostick is very fun without having to kick the clutch all the time.

excellent car-- great ride -- fast enough for plenty of tickets! Ha! I commute in heavy traffic-- the car is very comfortable. Good stereo. Also a great cruiser. My only complaint is that the cup holders in the front are too low-- down under the dash and in the way of the CD player and lighter. This car needs very little maintainence and gets good mileage- 28 mpg in the city

I have had my GTC for a year and a half. It's a great car, fun to drive. It was a Chrysler Executive Vehicle that was never titled until I bought it. I have put 25,000 miles on it since I got it. It drives great and I love the 5-speed. The interior is a little plain though. It would be nice to have pockets on the backs of the seats for maps, etc. I have not had ANY trouble with the car at all. I have only had it into the dealership once and that was because the passenger window was sluggish when putting down the top. It wasn't all the way down when the top was!

This is the first, and certainly not the last, Chrysler that I have purchased. I consistently get 24- 25 MPG with 2.7 V-6 and have recorded 30 on the highway. This is the only car that I have purchased new that has never had any warranty work done, period. The only complain that I have is the cheap Goodyear tires that came with the vehicle - (replaced after 32000 with Toyo tires that are much quieter and ride better). Overall, I would definitely recommend this car to anyone that is looking for a sedan.

I have had my Sebring for a year now and I love it. I bought it with 30k. I did have some problems with the mileage odometer not working properly, it would flash NO BUS. This happened right at 35k and was repaired by a Chrysler Dealership at no charge of course. I was just wondering if anyone else has had problems with the A/C. Sometimes the A/C will stop blowing cold air and it feels like just the vent is on. If you tap the dash, however, the A/C kicks right back on. I thought this was kinda weird and wondering if this was a problem that other Sebring owners have had. Other than that I love my car.

My Sebring looks good, runs badly! We moved from Georgia to Colorado and the pick-up onto the highway, or even into traffic from a stop is terrible!! I even had it looked at, at the dealer to see if the altitude was affecting the engine or it need some adjustment, they thought I was crazy. Not only that, but it just passed 55,000 miles and has been in the shop twice in the past six months! Once for overheating when something broke, and just this week for the air conditioner compressor that had BAD screws. Apparently the screws are aluminum, (very soft metal)and they wore out(?) and they compressor fell to the bottom of the car taking the serpentine belt wit

Electrical problems: From day one there was an intermittant problem with the headlight switch causing the dash lights to go on and off. Then the blower motor relay went out leaving me with only high speed on the blower. Next was the automitic door locks. Currently the doors will not lock except with the remote. This is all within the first 60,000 miles. Owned severl Toyota products and never had these kind of problems.

My second Sebring: the first being a 97 JX. 2nd iteration is much better: Less body cowl, quieter, boot snap though dated is a vast improvement over the 96- 00 fiasco. Excellent value for its price range and I love it in gold with a navy top and the 2 tone cream and navy interior with chrome wheels. I get lots of compliments on it. A very happy Sebring owner since 1997. Will trade to the new 06 which is said to have many styling cues from the current Crossfire.

Since I have purchased my Sebring in 2001 I have not really had any problems with the car. I have had the regular oil changes and tire rotations. This has been a great car and gets the looks. I have people all the time wanting to know what year the car is and they can't believe that it's a 2002. I have to say this has been one of the best cars that Chrysler has made. I of course would love to have the 2004 Chrysler 300M. The limited edition one. I just can't find one. I would love to see them make that car again.

Everyone thinks my car is beautiful. So do I. Cruising the interstate at 80 while getting 27-30mph is wonderful. Top end for passing is strong, but don't look to drag race. 0- 60 should not be an issue. If it is,look elsewhere. Heated seats for a 40something back makes touring a breeze. My daughter with her 2004 spec-V sentra is (as I type) looking for one. She flew home from Texas and drove my car--now she says she needs a change because she got spoiled when here in SC.

I have not had a single problem with this vehicle, and I've had it for 2 years and 30,000 miles. It drives great and is very comfortable. I have every option except leather and the total price was about 23,000, wich is great for a premium coupe. It is an overall beautiful vehicle and i find it much more attractive than the new 03's with the different front bumper and dash. The older dash in the 01 and 02's were much more sporty.

Let me just say that the only problem encountered after 69000 miles has been a headlight bulb. I have noticed the autotransmission sometimes seems to misshift. I am going to take it in for an alignment and have that checked. It has been a great little car. The average mileage is 27.4mpg So it actually getting better mileage than stated on the sticker. I have always used regular fuel. Paint is great on the car. Good stereo. Leather seats are very good. I certainly would by another sebring lxi if the styling and quality are equal to what my car has been

This is a nice sedan. Easy to manuever, looks good, stylish for a sedan. I find it very comfortable to drive or ride in as a passanger. I am in my car a lot so this was important. The standard features are plentiful and controls are well located . My biggest complaint is a noise that the dealer has not yet been able to correct. I have made 5 attempts already to get it fixed. Also the back seat became too cramped when we added a baby car seat to it. Ohterwise this is a great commuter car for the person going further than a few miles.

It has been very reliable, kinda hard on brakes though. Sunroof vibration is really annoying at low speeds. I wish the sunroof was retractable into the roof. Cup holders are to far away for easy use.

Do you break into a smile every time you pull your car out of the driveway? Buy a Sebring convertible and you will. I'm only sorry that I had to drive for 25 years before I owned this car. I never knew that driving could be this fun. On nice days, when I see other owners driving with the top UP, I am amazed. Mine is white exterior, black top, tan interior. In my opinion, the best color combination - with the top down, it just oozes "summer fun." The V6 provides plenty of power.

There is so much room on the inside, it makes it feel so comfortable and cozy. I have not had any real mechanical problems (the motor to the windshield washing fluid had to be replaced), and I know that every time I get inside to take a trip, whether it's to the local store or across country (I've made several cross country trips), it will drive like the first day I left the dealership.

I would reccomend this car to anyone who enjoys driving; and with a 7yr. warranty, and friendly service centers, you can't go wrong with this car.

I bought my 2002 Chrysler Sebring LXI Coupe in May of 2003. It was a brand new 2002 that was left over so I got it for $18,350!!! I think the car is stunningly beautiful on the outside. Mine is loaded with every option but ABS. Driving the car is pure pleasure. The V6 is silky smooth and really pulls hard. The 5-speed shifts smoothly and the clutch uptake is perfect. The intake/exhaust sound when you wind it up is the perfect blend of turbine-like harmonics. The interior is nice, with leather seats and an terrific Infinity sound system. I'm betting that the Mitsubihi drivetrain holds up better than the other Sebrings.

Closing in on one year of ownership I am very pleased with this vehicle. The ride comfort and performance are balanced perfectly. You can enjoy both long trips (or commutes) and at the same time dive into a corner without worrying about losing control. The car drives faster than you feel so it is easy to exceed the speed limit. Even with the automatic, acceleration is great. This is the lowest priced true 4 seat convertible on the market, so if you must go topless, go Sebring.

I must have bought the runt of the litter. From the day I bought the car there were several things that had to be fixed, incorrect bezel on the gear shift (mine has the autostick but the bezel was for the regular transmission), drivers power window motor needed replaced, drivers seat loose, and heated seats did not function. Took it on a trip to New Orleans from Indiana the first month and noticed a noise at 70mph. After several times in service, including a three week transmission re-build they determined that it was not the transmission but wind noise and could not fix the problem.
