Fun, roomy convertible

2002 Chrysler Sebring Limited 2dr Convertible (2.7L 6cyl 4A)

Review

Attractive styling, good handling, roomy in front & back. Every car has compromises, and this one is great fun and a very good mix of decisions that yield a vehicle that is good at cruising, good at the twisty-turning type of drives, and has good comfort.

Favorite Features

Roof drops in seconds - much faster than most. Handling is as good as can be expected from a car of this size and price range.

Suggested Improvements

Transmission kicks down only when revs hit 4k, so there's a lag in acceleration just when power is needed. Autostick jerks in lower gear transitions. Don't like the gap between hood & bumper. Better integration of 4 cd player to eliminate arkward positioning at shift lever.

2002 Chrysler Sebring LX 2dr Coupe (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

handling, ride, and performance in a car that cost me $20,000. Best overall is the performance of the 200 hp v6. It really revs quickly and also has plenty of power on the inter- states.

Favorite Features

handling and smooth quiet ride.

Suggested Improvements

none. leave it alone.

Smll but sporty

Review

Quick V6. Sporty style. It really is a miniature Intrepid. However, rearview mirror is too close to driver. Due to cab forward design and sloped windshield. Recommend buying to those under five foot ten.

Favorite Features

Intrepid like design by Ray Evernham. Quick, great on gas. Easy to work on.

Suggested Improvements

Can rearview mirror be placed further from drivers' face? How about full size spare?

2002 Chrysler Sebring LXi 2dr Convertible (2.7L 6cyl 4A)

Review

Was able to buy it for about $100 less than TMV in 3/01, beginning of recession. Two problems with build quality: (i)the trunk leaked and it took them two tries to fix it (now it's fine) and the rear window defroster broke (they fixed it right the first time). Since then, it is a lot of fun to drive! Powerful and grips the road very well. Big enough for three kids in back. 4-disc CD player works great. Blasting music with the top down, whether in traffic or on the open highway is still a thrill (I'm 46). I look so happy that people talk to me at stop lights. Very glad to have it, recommend it highly.

Favorite Features

It's a convertible with a powerful six. Enough said.

Suggested Improvements

Heated seats would be a nice option/

Review

The Sebring LXi is an all around great car especially so when price is factored in. I got a 2002 LXi sedan loaded with everything except the sun roof and I walked out the door for less than 24K including sales tax. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a complete lemon and 10 being impossible to achieve for 23K, I give it an 8.

Favorite Features

Styling both exterior and interior. Quality materials coupled with the only auto stick offered on an American car in the same class.

Suggested Improvements

My wish list would include auto climate control and auto headlights. Also, offer ABS and side air bags standard instead of as an option.

Review

This is my fourth convertible and third Sebring. I traded my 1998 Sebring JXi in on a 2001 Sebring Limited (the first one my dealer received). It was Dark Blue with the Cream Leather seats. I was very disappointed in that car. Had serious electrical problems from the get-go and had to have it back to the dealer several times. In addition the very pretty cream interior was a nightmare to keep clean. Got rid of that and bought a 2002 Sebring LXi with Taupe leather interior. MUCH better car. Never been back to the dealer, seems better put together than the Limited was. Very stiff structure and well insulated top makes you forget its a convertible, until you put top down.

Favorite Features

GREAT engine and transmission combination. Stiff structure doesn't feel like your driving a bowl full of jello. Well insulated cloth top. GREAT styling.

Suggested Improvements

Auto temperature control A/C, power passenger seat. Maybe a bit more power (3.5 Liter, 250 HP V6 from the 300M would be nice if it would fit)

Review

I actually traded down from a 300M to my new Sebring LXi Sedan in Inferno Red. Yes I got every possible option, but this car still listed for $6,000 less than the 300M and quite frankly rides better, performs about the same, and gets much better mileage. The thing that amazes me is that this car feels more stable on the highway, is more surefooted in inclement weather and provides ALMOST as many amenities as the 300M at a much lower price. I honestly can't understand why anyone would pay more for an intermediate 4 door sedan. This is really a great car.

Favorite Features

Jewel of an engine. 2.7 liters, dual overhead cams, 4 valves per cyclinder and 200 horsepower on regular that gets 25 miles per gallon in all around driving. Comfortable seats and fantastic sound system

Suggested Improvements

The only thing I miss from my 300M is the Automatic Temperature Control and heated front seats. If they added those, and maybe a power passenger seat, the Sebring would be just about perfect.

Review

We love the car. My wife drove a Jeep Grand Cherokee until we bought this car. Now, the Sebring is "hers." We have had no problems with it and it handles very well. My only suggestion is about one more inch headroom up front. Also, there seems to be a humm that the dealer says is normal (not bad though). Otherwise, we plan on buying another in a year or two.

Favorite Features

Look.

Suggested Improvements

A little more headroom.

This car rides so smooth and quiet. It's really hard to believe it's a convertible! We had a Mazda Miata, which we loved very much. Our Sebring is so much more roomier and smoother riding. A dream come true!
