I have enjoyed my Sebring for six plus years now. This is an excellent vehicle that is fun to drive and well built. I have had only very minor mechanical problems (horn, electric door lock).I now have 100,000 miles on it and it still runs like a fine clock.

I had a pony convertible before and did not realize when I sold it I would miss having a small convertible. I found the '96 Chrysler Sebring to be both stylish and fun to drive. The car handle well on the freeway and hills slow it down. I realize that this car has some problems as the Tack and Odometer did not work as well as the gas gauge. I am looking at some $$$ ahead but I still think it worth it.

I loved my Sebring convertible! Most reliable little care I've had! Owned her for 2 years and just sold so I could buy something that is a tad more WI winter friendly! Loved dropping the top on my hour commute home from work after a long day! Made for several fun road trips over summer! Never had a problem with it other than the air condition and heat didn't always work when I wanted them too and I had to chase the boot down the highway a few times...

First Car

This car was a great first car. The major problem that I had with the car was that everything started to break at aroung 75,000 miles. The air-conditioner is a real problem. I had it fixed once, but it broke again a year later. The compressor broke in two. That is a fundamental design problem. Also this car is very expensive to fix. I would suggest if you like the looks of this car get a newer one and trade it in before it reaches 75,000 miles. If you are on the tall side the seat may be a little uncomfortable on long trips. It tends to round your shoulders forward which on short trips is fine, but it really starts to hurt your back after a while.

The car that started it all

Before the Sebring Convertible, the Sebring Coupe set the standard for car design in the 90s. This car has been a great car, reliable, beautiful, and high-quality. It handles beautifully, cruises smoothly, and when I first got it, people asked if it was the new version of the Lexus SC400! It still looks beautiful today, and the paint is tough as nails, and has held up extremely well, with really only scheduled maintenance needed.
