My sexy experience

2008 Chrysler Sebring Limited 2dr Convertible (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I think the car is sleek and sexy and made for a woman. However, it is a heavy car. The doors and trunk door are heavy. I have had minor problems when the car is riding at a slow speed it jerks. I think an improvement would be to add a place to put your sunglasses when your top is up and they are not on your face( sexy shades is a must). Something to protect the glare off the touch screen when watching a movie. I really love my car is was a gift for my 40th birthday and I am constantly turning heads on the road. The hardtop convertible is like having two cars in one.

Favorite Features

hardtop, sleek hood, 18'chrome rims

Suggested Improvements

place to store sunglasses, visor of shade to avoid glare when watching dvd, lighter doors

Great Milage and comfort

Review

Just bought it and am very pleased with our choice. On the first trip bringing it home we got 40 mpg with Canadian gallons. The 2.7 liters have enough snap and yet holds onto the economy. The visibility is great. The interior is bright and easy to enter and exit. The controls are convenient and easy to understand. Having gone from a Jeep Grand Cherokee to the Sebring we had some reservations but to this date we made the right decision.

Favorite Features

appearance, economy, comfort, smooth ride, drivers visibility, good handling on mountain roads with plenty of power to get the job done.

Suggested Improvements

A little more leg room for the driver.

Review

I made the switch to the Sebring Touring from a 2002 Jaguar X-Type. I was purely looking for reliability and economy. So far I have both. In mixed driving the car is getting an average of 28 miles per gallon and over 30 mpg on the highway. I couldn't be happier with that. The car has nice features, but not the luxury I was used to. Even so, for about 21,000 sticker price it is a good value. The engine has plenty of power, although the transmission is not very smooth. Overall, if you're looking for an economical midsize car, I recommend at least test driving a Sebring.

Favorite Features

It took me a while to warm up to the styling of this car, but I've come to like its uniqueness. The seats are comfortable and there is plenty of room in the back seat for adults. On a long trip I sat in the back while a friend did the driving. It was plenty comfy. The My Gig System is cool too.

Suggested Improvements

Chrysler needs to improve the interior plastics in this car. They are durable, but not very attractive. I also wish they had a larger selection of interior colors.

Review

I loved this car when I saw it. It has great features BUT 2 days after purchase I had a U-Connect problem, it has been serviced 5 times and in the shop 12 out of the 30 days that I have had it so far. I wish I had read these reviews because no one is lying here. They really need to start over with this car. Technical support is no support, no one seems to know the resolution. This was my first convertible and now the excitement is gone. I am stuck with a lemon I do believe. After reading the other reviews I guess I will have many more additional problems. That's just great!

Favorite Features

Would love everything if it would WORK!

Suggested Improvements

Start from SCRATCH on the computerized technology. Chrysler should be embarrassed.

I've Been Pleasantly Surprised

Review

I turned in a 2004 Toyota Solara SLE V-6 and was concerned about going to a 4 cyl. While the V-6 was quicker and quieter, the Sebring is not too bad. The car, so far, has been proving a good investment. Mileage has been 27 MPG in a 60-40 mix. (highway-city)

Favorite Features

My Gig w/Nav. and Sirius. Heated and cooling cup holder. Remote start. Interior/exterior fit and finish.

Suggested Improvements

A bit of noise reduction in the engine at start up. A fifth gear.

Disappointed

Review

Although I like the exterior look of this car, the quality of parts and interior is lacking. My wipers have been stuck on intermittent for 3 months, the remote for the top has worked twice and quit, convertible headliner started to fall out, and now the steering wheel is making a noise. I have been waiting for parts for the wipers for 3 months. Embarrassing when the top is down and the wipers come on every 10 seconds. I miss my 300C.

Favorite Features

The car handles well and I like the exterior look of the car.

Suggested Improvements

The interior could be a little more classy looking and more leg room in the back. The trunk lid is very heavy.

Would not recommend

Review

I purchased my vehicle in June 2007. 2 weeks after purchasing the automatic top got stuck in the up position. Could not be driven. Had to put it on a flatbed and have it towed. Ugh! 2 months later, the exact same thing happened. Had to get it towed again, in the rain! Since then, I have had two recalls on the relay switch for the same problem. While I love the way the car looks, I would NEVER recommend anyone to purchase. During this past year while having the car, I have never been able to really enjoy the vehicle, since every time I put the top down, I close my eyes and have to pray that it doesn't get stuck again. Also, does a lot of sputtering. Never could find the problem.

2008 Sebring

Review

A real pleasure to drive. Nicely appointed interior although the hard, silver plastic trim is not too classy. Good sound from the standard radio and Sirius radio is a plus. My mileage averages between 31 and 32 for all around driving. Lots of nice goodies; auto headlights, auto dimming rear view mirror, auto temp control, power seats, etc. make is nice to drive and handling is also good.

Favorite Features

Auto headlights, Good radio, lots of interior room, tire pressure monitoring, Instrument layout and amount of information available are also good. Heated mirrors and seats are also a plus!

Suggested Improvements

Trunk lid is auto open but hard to close if you have anything in your hand. putting heavier items in trunk is a bit of a chore. More room when opened and a little lower would also be much appreciated.

Review

I now have 10,000 trouble free fun miles except I had a mygig radio option. Don't let anybody kid you it is junk! In the first three months I was without a radio for at least two months. It came on when it felt like it. I was promised a software up grade each month. It never came! Finally it got here. They put it in and radio was worse. The installed a new radio. It wasn't new it was a refurbished. What a laugh. It was worse then the first on plus the switched hard drive capacity. It still didn't work. The bluetooth locked up with the phones and your party could not hear you. The put in another refurbished unit and it again was junk. Now have a new unit from a demo car and it's junk

Favorite Features

Trying hard to get the junk radio to work! I can not believe that Chrysler would put up with a vendor that put out such crap! Do they realize the time it take to load this unit. Trust me, this radio won't work! It's junk

Suggested Improvements

3 refurbished radios and without a radio for three months and the new one doesn't work either.. The radio Hard Drive locks up! it loses the juke box memory. And when this happen you have to dump all your songs on the Hard Drive! The bluetooth doesn't work. phone reception is one sided. you can't hear!!!!
