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

Review

Have been looking at Chrysler Sebrings for some time as they are one of the few sporty type convertibles I can afford. I am amazed at the equipment I have on my Sebring as I own a 2000 Cadillac Deville and a 2001 Lincoln Town Car and the Sebring has all the equipment they have including all the little toys like compass, thermomitor, etc. So far, I have had a great deal of fun driving this little car. In my opinion, it is a great car for the money.

Favorite Features

Heated seats, four disc CD player, electric windows, fog lights.

Suggested Improvements

Daylight running lights would be nice as an extra safety feature. Seat speakers would allow listening to radio on road in spite of wind noise.

Review

I have had this car for 3 years now and put 140 miles a day on it driving back and forth to work. I'm up to 110,000 miles now. Gas mileage has been good at 28 mpg. Comfort is great. Sound system rocks. Only issues have been some stupid electrical problems. Relay for blower heater motor went bad once and the Windshield Washer pump seemed weak in the winter time. Other than that its been oil changes, tires, and breaks.

Favorite Features

Fairly quick for a 6 cylinder motor. Great sound system.

Suggested Improvements

Cup holders are in the way where you put in the CDs into the changer.

One major problem

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

Review

Overall a great car to drive, my major complaint is the dash board electronics, after 3 years the complete dash board would not function, had to be replaced, lucky I had warranty. I have the 7.7 which has much power for this car, if you love sports cars, this is the car for you.

Favorite Features

Handles great like a true sports car, with plenty of power.

Suggested Improvements

Needs better seats, for more comfort and more head room, I am 6'1"

Despite the reviews - I love my Sebring!

Review

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. I'm really looking forward to seeing the new 2007 model ... a smaller version of the 300? We'll see ...

Favorite Features

Exterior styling, front seat comfort, very good standard sound system, rides like a larger car

Suggested Improvements

a more refined 4 cycl engine, 5 speed automatic, get rid of the fake wood interior trim -- or upgrade it.

Review

The Chrysler Sebring Convertible is the most fun to drive of any car I have owned, including a Corvette, a Triumph Spitfire, an Olds 442, and an Opel GT, among others. The only thing I don't care for is the location of the cup holders in the front, a small price to pay.

Favorite Features

Performance, handling, value, "fun factor"

Suggested Improvements

Move cup holders out from under radio and from behind shifter.

Fun car to drive

Review

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.

Favorite Features

I don't want to sound like I am complaining because my wife and I really love this car. It is roomy enough in the rear to seat four comfortably and it has great pickup. If you want a roomy convertible that is fun to drive- this is it!

Suggested Improvements

The console key access would be better on the top as access on the side can be difficult.

Review

I really like the way my Sebring handles ... a good, solid feel of the road; corners really well; the 4 cycl. provides more than adequate pep; very good braking; really like the seating ... supportive and yet comfortable ... a bit on the high side, which I prefer ... good view of the road; spacious & comfortable back seat, as well; only negative ... the transmission occasionally jerks when I let off to gas while accelerating.

Favorite Features

Surprisingly good standard audio system; very supportive and comfortable front seats; superb exterior design -- I still get looks; very roomy interior

Suggested Improvements

Smoother auto transmission ... get the kinks out. Fake wood trim ... upgrade or allow an optional, cleaner all metal look.

Bravo Chrysler for a Value Car

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

Review

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.

Favorite Features

Standard Features, Handling, Reliability, Price, Gas Mileage and the Stereo System.

Suggested Improvements

The defective part of the A/C has apparently been fixed in the new models.
