I really enjoy driving the 2002 Sebring LXi. The engine performance has been great. My one complaint is the turning radius. It makes very wide turns which makes manuevering difficult. Overall, the Sebring LXi is very enjoyable. It is sporty, yet comfortable.

Not a bad set of wheels

I did a fair ammount of research (with other cars in its class) before springing for this one. The interior is well laid out and intuitive. The performance is sufficient as well-not pressing me to the seat, but not leaving me waiting for the gear to shift (its an automatic). The car is a little heavy, but at high speeds it glides like a dream. At low to moderate speeds it accelerates and corners very well (much to the dismay of my passengers). About the only downside is that it has the typical clunky Chrysler transmission. Overall, a good car though.

Just OK car

The body is very sold. Build quality seems very nice. Has some of the most comfortible seats ever. The 4 wheel disk brakes are excellent! The transmission in this car is junk! It clunks, sometimes wont downshift, and other times downshifts at the wrong time so the car lurches violently. Sometimes it wont go into gear even when its in drive, then will drop into gear with a loud clunk. This is with only a little over 10k miles. BEWARE! Their 7 year warranty thing is a scam! You can take the car back 50 times and their so called "Specialists" will tell you theres nothing wrong with it. This is with the 4 speed automatic with AutoStick.

Very Good

We love the car. My wife drove a Jeep Grand Cherokee until we bought this car. Now, the Sebring is "hers." We have had no problems with it and it handles very well. My only suggestion is about one more inch headroom up front. Also, there seems to be a humm that the dealer says is normal (not bad though). Otherwise, we plan on buying another in a year or two.

Bought new-78k currently. Regular maintenance is all. Did not replace brakes until 50k-85%city driving. Mileage is 24 with no a/c and about 22 with in the city. Highway is 28 - 30 with cruise at 70 ish. Leather has held up well-clean 2-3 times a yr. No rattles or squeaks, V6 still is a blast to drive - very revvy and punchy. Tranny is smooth and reliable. No electrical problem other than seat heater relay going out. Still on factory alt and water pump. No major leaks of any kind. Handles ok but could use stiffer shocks/struts to really handle well. Overall it is a quiet, economical sedan to own. i just wish resell was higher on Chryslers. That is what would make it a great preowned car.
