The Best Sebring Yet

Review

Having owned a 2005 Sebring with an anemic engine, I decided to buy the new 2008 Sebring Limited for the 3.5 engine and the 6 speed gear box and am I glad I did. This car has good power and handling and is certainly a great improvement over the last Sebring I owned. I also do not like the hard top, so I found the rare cloth top Limited to buy. I have standard antilock breaks plus positraction, and electronic stability control options so the car is very solid, quick off the line and handles very well It us a very solid car. It does not 'swim' all over the road. Overall, it is a really fun boulevard car to drive. I love using the key fob to start it from 35 feet or drop the top.

Favorite Features

The engine and drive train are my favorite features. Lots of power, excellent handling and overall, a much more state of the art system. I also like the styling of the new Sebring - very 'wedgy' and somewhat aggressive.

Suggested Improvements

The inside looks like a plastic factory - plastic everywhere. I realize that they wanted to keep a certain price point, but I can't believe that they couldn't pad the dash and put some other surfaces or more leather in the interior. The tortoise shell plastic is a nice touch, though

Surprising quality and performance

Review

This is my third Sebring convertible. I had a 1999 and 2004. I am happy with the build quality, fuel economy and performance so far. I have owned the car for five weeks and have driven about 1800 miles. This is a base car and the 2.4 liter four is close to the Toyota four in smoothness and lack of noise. On a short trip (220 miles) on 2 lane highways with a number of rolling hills (not mountains) I got 27.5 mpg. The city mileage with the AC on is about 20 so far. This is not a fast luxury sporty car, but especially for the money I am very pleased so far.

Favorite Features

Tightly sealing side windows. Extra insulation in soft top. Remote start and top-down is a fun feature. LED dash is great at night. Higher and deeper fron seats are very nice. Base interior is better than many. Handling is good for a base car.

Suggested Improvements

Reduced rear seat leg room is a big negative. Top storage is the same for hard and soft tops. A different design for soft tops would improve top-down trunk capacity. Speedometer, radio, etc. could be easier to read in day, especially with the top down
