Not for city living

2006 Chrysler Sebring Touring 2dr Convertible (2.7L 6cyl 4A)

Review

We bought our '06 Sebring convertible in Naples, Florida. Put about 25,000 miles on it while living in Florida. No mechanical problems to speak of. Moved to Atlanta, Georgia for work. pothole central. In less than 4 months, the convertible went from a smooth driving vehicle to the noisest car I've ever owned. It's the windows/roof/doors that rattle. The rattles are constant. I think it's a combination of 2 things: In Florida I kept the top down all of the time. Lousy city streets. Great car, but if rattles bother you, this is not the car for you. We are trading for a new sedan, as we can't take the noise. Poor build quality. No mechanical problems to speak of, though. noisy.

Favorite Features

Suggested Improvements

Top leaks and the car rattles constantly.

Seemingly Reliable Car with a lot of go!

Written by: Shane on 04/27/2007

Vehicle

2006 Chrysler Sebring Touring 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl 4A)

Review

I purchased this car used with 19,000 miles and have to say it still had the new car smell. Handles and drives well. 2.7 liter v6 engine has a lot of pep and takes a minute to get use to the jumpiness of the throttle, however this is a plus once you get accustomed. The sedan is sharp on the outside with nice big wheels and sleek lines overall. The interior feels solid and reliable to me with lots of space and high end farbric bucket seats. I like the chunky radio buttons and the standard sound system is quite good. The interior is dated but the finishes seem reliable as a result. Engine builty by Chrysler- Mercedes so very reliable.

Favorite Features

Satellite radio is awesome and came with my car. Also like the more agressive lines of the trunk and front grille. The instrument cluster is clean, sleek, and easy to read. Dug the keyless remote. Feels solid and works well. Low CFC emmisions. Reliable engine built by the Daimler-Benz.

Suggested Improvements

Gas mileage is not as good as I would hope. I avg 20 miles in the city. Highway is much better at 28mpg. However with competitors getting 30mpg city, I was hoping for better efficiency.

2006 Sebring Sedan

Written by: JDP on 03/08/2007

Vehicle

2006 Chrysler Sebring 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

Very pleased the the vehicle and the dealership. They traded the radio to what I wanted. Lots of good nooks for all my "stuff". Center console storage is bigger than my 95 Mazda 626. Good sized trunk with place for full sized spare. A/C is nice and cold. Remote trunk release is nice too. All around - I'm pleased. I like the lines on this car. Hopefully it will hold up like my 626 which I had for nearly 12 years.

Favorite Features

Like the center console with place for tissue and tire gauge. Lots of nooks for my "stuff". Like the automatic locking doors.

Suggested Improvements

I could always step up to a higher end version...but 2 outlets should be commonplace in todays age. There is a bit of a blind spot looking back over the drivers left shoulder. Lighted area around where you put your key in the ignition would be nice.

My second car a beauty

2006 Chrysler Sebring Touring 2dr Convertible (2.7L 6cyl 4A)

Review

I bought the car with 10,600 miles and it drove as if it were brand new, good suspension that you don't feel every bump like most convertibles. The base speakers can get quite loud.

Favorite Features

Convertible top, the exterior design is sexy and sleek, the car is big and comfortable for everybody in it, the suede inserts in seats is very classy. The ragtop is of very good quality you can barely hear wind or exterior noise

Suggested Improvements

license plate holder covers whole grille, add heater mirrors, add auto window to touring,add a bluetooth component to convertible so you can talk hands free and don't make someone buy the whole door panel if they just want the wood trim on it,illuminate shifter, add light in glove box, xenon lights?

Joy to own, suprise!

Review

I bought this car for driving to and from work. I thought a convertible might be fun. I had no idea of what great fuel economy, and what a pleasure as an everyday driver. Fun, faster than a speeding ticket and great stereo also! I also enjoy 800+ mile journeys in comfort with 30+ mpg's.

Favorite Features

Fun, performance, style and economy.

Suggested Improvements

Don't screw up a good thing. Look forward to future Chrysler products.

Review

This is our first convertible. After reviewing all available in our price range, this one by far seemed the best choice -- simply because it's easily the classiest-looking of all its peers. We've had old Fords and newer Mercedes...my wife has never cared which we drove. To her, a car's a car. The Sebring Touring Convertible, however, has her coming to my office EVERY DAY to steal it from me or to wait until I get off so we can just drive. She hates driving in traffic...except with this car (when the top's down). I'm thrilled. Wife is ecstatic. NOTE: Get the V6. Don't you dare skimp on this. It's not very powerful, really, so don't go for anything less.

Favorite Features

Riding with the top down. The overall look. The leather/suede seats.

Suggested Improvements

A more powerful V6 might be nice.

Best Convertible I have ever owned

Written by: Byrl Alexander on 08/28/2006

Vehicle

2006 Chrysler Sebring Touring 2dr Convertible (2.7L 6cyl 4A)

Review

This car handles like a dream on the road, rides real smooth and when riding in the back seat it is a real smooth ride. I couldn't ask for anything more. This car hugs the road, the top seals real good, very little wind noise with the top up. For the money this is the best car on the road today. Fuel getting around 28-30 miles to the gallon on the highway, not as good in the city but still better than most cars today.

Favorite Features

The ride with the top down, interior design,

Suggested Improvements

I wouldn't change anything

My 1st Convertible

Written by: JON RIGGS on 07/26/2006

Vehicle

2006 Chrysler Sebring GTC 2dr Convertible (2.7L 6cyl 4A)

Review

I have owned t-tops but never a convertible. i rented a lebaron conv. back in the mid 80's and was not impressed. This conv. is totally different. We love it. The seating in back is perfect, plenty of leg room for adults. Very fun to drive. It's my wifes car but i drive it 50% of the time.

Favorite Features

The automatic power roof and the capability of dropping all 4 windows down with the touch of 1 button.

Suggested Improvements

it would be nice if the drivers seat had at least 2 position memories, so i wouldnt have to adjust for comfort after my wife drives it.

2006 Chrysler Sebring Limited 2dr Convertible (2.7L 6cyl 4A)

Review

I have thoroughly enjoyed this car from day one. More room by far than the mustang miata, BMW, or any other convertible in their price range. Fuel economy is good; about 26 to 28. I love my convertible.

Favorite Features

good gas mileage, lots of cabin room front and back. quiet with top up.

Suggested Improvements

the body shake for a convertible needs to be improved. Plastic trim on doors and dash should be a better quality.
