Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Spacious interiors, solid performance, long list of standard features.

Cons

Lacks refinement, build quality and resale value not comparable to class leaders.

What’s new

The Sebring's former trim designations have been replaced with base, Touring and Limited while GTC trim carries over unchanged. Sedan and convertible models receive a restyled front fascia and new wheels, while the coupe gets new dash, door and instrument panel trim. Low-speed traction control now comes on all models equipped with antilock brakes.

Edmunds says

The Sebring family offers good value without sacrificing style or performance. They're worth a look if you're tired of the status quo.

2004 Chrysler Sebring Touring 2dr Convertible (2.7L 6cyl 4A)

First thing you need to understand is that yes, there has been issues with oil sludge in these engines in the past. However, I very seriously relate this directly to brand/type of oil more than bad design. If it was an engineering error, why then do soooo many of these surpass 200k+ miles. Have a competent mechanic check the engine before you buy the car. If no sludge, then you are good …

Great Car!

2004 Chrysler Sebring Limited 2dr Convertible (2.7L 6cyl 4A)

I bought my '04 Sebring convertible limited brand new in August 2003 and it has been a truly fantastic car since. With just over 108k miles, the only significant repair required was a transmission solenoid pack (or something like that) that started leaking at around 45,000 miles but was covered by the powertrain warranty. I also replaced the original 2004 stereo so I could have bluetooth …

Nice for the price

2004 Chrysler Sebring 2dr Coupe (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

While it is certainly no sports car or luxury car my sebring returns nice gas mileage, solid performance for what it is, and in 97000 miles has required nothing outside of routine maintenance. There are no fancy features like most new cars and no hi-tech info system but the simple straight forward controls have never failed to function as intended. Its a nice car for the price just don't …

Disappointment

2004 Chrysler Sebring GTC 2dr Convertible (2.7L 6cyl 4A)

OUr 2004 Chrysler-Sebring convertible has ONLY 51,500 miles. Yet the front catalytic converter got so hot, that it burned a hole in the converter. That is extremely disappointing. Of course, the warranty for the converter was ONLY 8 years, so we are out $1,000 for a replacement. All the cars I have owned in teh last 50 years, have never had a catalytic converter fail. Shame on Chrysler!
