Review
Even though the car is really a Mitsubishi Eclipse with a Chrysler body it is a nice sporty, fast car. It handles really good, mine has 140,000 miles on it and it starts better in the winter better than my neighbor's VW.
Favorite Features
Fast, low ride height, and the look.
Suggested Improvements
Little better cornering ability, and different exterior door panels.
i love my car

Review
I bought my Sebring Convertible with 98K on it. Not new, I know. My biggest complaint is oil issues. The oil light came on, I took it in and they replaced the oil sending unit. 10 miles later, it came on again. Every mechanic I took it in to gave me a different explanation and a different price. I drove it for a year with the light on. The rear window broke and cost around $1000 to replace. The turning radius is horrid. The interior of the door came away from the door. Crappy Chrysler quality. It was fun to drive, but a headache overall. I'm buying Japanese next time.
Favorite Features
Convertible top. Stereo.
Suggested Improvements
Better made roof. Better turning radius.

Review
I've owned this car since new and the engine, transmission, A/C, and electrical system never gave me a problem. The only major maintenance I did was replace the motor mounts, installed a new top and new carpet. This is a very underrated car. The engine and transmission are Japanese and these can go the distance like Toyotas or Hondas.
Favorite Features
Very fun to drive and practically maintenance free.
Suggested Improvements
The brakes are average, maybe a bit spongy. The battery is under the front wheel well and access can be done, but is a little difficult.
NIIIIIICE.

Review
Overall, this is a nice ride. I bought it for my son's first car, and it was a good choice. I have had a few repairs, but its an old car. I would definitely get another if it came up.
Favorite Features
Interior- very nice.
Suggested Improvements
Front air dam wayyyy too low. No turning radius at all!
