Fun in the sun - warm ride in winter

2002 Chrysler Sebring GTC 2dr Convertible (2.7L 6cyl 4A)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful
My black-on-black beauty consistently turns in 21-24 mpg in the city. Love the control afforded by the 5 speed. Wish 1st gear afforded greater and longer oomph off the line. That being said, the power is adequate and the growl audible as the GTC whines through the gears quickly toward a rapidly achieved 60. Four-windows-down is terrific! Black finish is mirror- like perfect. I actually like the non- glitz of the interior with minimal amenities. The 4 CD changer is outstanding! The heater in Winter (or cool evenings with top down)is the best! Inside of top is well padded and nicely hides structural bars. Back seat room is simply the best! The top boot cover is easy-on and easy-off.

This is my first convertible. I primarily bought it for my wife but I love it too. The car has great pickup and gas mileage for a large car is good, about 22-25 miles per gallon. My one complaint would be the tires leaking air. My tire place claims that it was the chrome wheels. However, I recently purchased new tires and they have not loss any so far. My other complaint would be the brakes had to be replaced at 30,000 miles which seems too quick.

The Chrysler Sebring Convertible is the most fun to drive of any car I have owned, including a Corvette, a Triumph Spitfire, an Olds 442, and an Opel GT, among others. The only thing I don't care for is the location of the cup holders in the front, a small price to pay.
Fun to Drive.

This car is such fun. It feels good, looks good, and rides even better. Over the past 10 years I've had a new Grand Prix, new Blazer, new Caravan....nothing compares to my Sebring! Feel safer driving now then ever before. Am no longer nervous to drive in rain or snow. With a long paved slanted driveway, I never worry of making it during winter weather. My husband's GMC 1500 4X4 or my sons Jeep Cherokee can't begin to compare. This is the best car I've ever had. I wouldn't hesistate to buy another.

Everyone thinks my car is beautiful. So do I. Cruising the interstate at 80 while getting 27-30mph is wonderful. Top end for passing is strong, but don't look to drag race. 0- 60 should not be an issue. If it is,look elsewhere. Heated seats for a 40something back makes touring a breeze. My daughter with her 2004 spec-V sentra is (as I type) looking for one. She flew home from Texas and drove my car--now she says she needs a change because she got spoiled when here in SC.

My second Sebring: the first being a 97 JX. 2nd iteration is much better: Less body cowl, quieter, boot snap though dated is a vast improvement over the 96- 00 fiasco. Excellent value for its price range and I love it in gold with a navy top and the 2 tone cream and navy interior with chrome wheels. I get lots of compliments on it. A very happy Sebring owner since 1997. Will trade to the new 06 which is said to have many styling cues from the current Crossfire.
What a pleasure

This was my first convertible. "Change of life" car. I don't know what I was waiting for. This is the most fun to drive car I have ever had! Heads always turn whenever the top is down, which is always, even in the winter (with the heat blasting of course!

I have had my GTC for a year and a half. It's a great car, fun to drive. It was a Chrysler Executive Vehicle that was never titled until I bought it. I have put 25,000 miles on it since I got it. It drives great and I love the 5-speed. The interior is a little plain though. It would be nice to have pockets on the backs of the seats for maps, etc. I have not had ANY trouble with the car at all. I have only had it into the dealership once and that was because the passenger window was sluggish when putting down the top. It wasn't all the way down when the top was!
Great convertible!

This car does a great job in snow as well as dry roads. I can't wait to drive it routinely with the top down.

Excellent comfort and style. Fun to drive. Only problem, which is typical for all convertibles, is some wind noise around the convertible top and some water leakage with rain
Drop the top for exhilaration!

Originally purchased an '01 LXI but totaled it 13 months later when another driver ran a red light. Both air bags deployed and the unibody absorbed the impact, protecting me from any bodily injuries. I immediately purchased an 02 LXI and was happy to see that the V6 was improved with a double overhead cam. The acceleration is addicting and hitting 110 mph with the top down was a super thrill. I upgraded the tires to a high performance Yokohama AS430 and this LXI craves the curves at any speed. Drove from Texas to Georgia with two teenagers for a two week vacation and had plenty of room for all the bagage. This car was a breeze to drive for 8hrs or more at a time, plus it's easy on gas.

Fun to drive. This is my first convertible and I love it. There is plenty of power, lots of bells and whistles, and a unique sense of style, all rolled into one. I looked at several makes of convertible, and this one offered the biggest and best bang for the buck.

Have been looking at Chrysler Sebrings for some time as they are one of the few sporty type convertibles I can afford. I am amazed at the equipment I have on my Sebring as I own a 2000 Cadillac Deville and a 2001 Lincoln Town Car and the Sebring has all the equipment they have including all the little toys like compass, thermomitor, etc. So far, I have had a great deal of fun driving this little car. In my opinion, it is a great car for the money.

Chrysler vehicles just do not meet the quality and resale value of Chevrolet and Ford. I bought this car new and paid 28K, 4 years later and 25K miles, it's only worth 10K. At 24K miles, the driver door hinge broke, and a hose above the fuel tank is defective, cost, $400.00 to repair.

Closing in on one year of ownership I am very pleased with this vehicle. The ride comfort and performance are balanced perfectly. You can enjoy both long trips (or commutes) and at the same time dive into a corner without worrying about losing control. The car drives faster than you feel so it is easy to exceed the speed limit. Even with the automatic, acceleration is great. This is the lowest priced true 4 seat convertible on the market, so if you must go topless, go Sebring.

Owned a LeBaron b4 this one. Got 200K miles from that so no prob buying American again. Drove my 02 Sebring 2 yrs till I got hit by a drunk on the frwy. Hit center div & shoulder wall. Then took 2 head on hits while disabled in the slow lane at 5:30am. I opened my eyes and saw the 3rd car coming and jumped the heck outta there and over the wall. Yes I could still run and jump! That car was smashed up everywhere except INSIDE. The passenger compartment was largely intact. A front passenger would've been worse off than I, but there's no way I should've just walked away. My glasses scratched my nose and I scratched my finger going over the wall outside. Not another drop of blood spilt.

What a suprise. A solid, quiet ride from a convertible! With features like roomy back seat, glass rear window, tight handling and peppy engine, it feels more like a sports sedan. Of course that feeling will disappear in a few weeks when temp hits 65 and above. Then the top comes down and the real fun begins -- can't wait.
I love this car

I'm amazed at the problems I see on the reviews. I bought this car brand new, with 7 miles on it, and have had no problems whatsoever. It now has 54,000 miles, and I haven't even had to change the battery or the brakes. Everything is running great. I honestly can't find a car on the road that I'd rather have. Plus, even though the car is six- years old, I still get compliments on it regularly.
Unbeatable Convertible Value

After test driving many convertibles over the past month, I have come to the conclusion that the Chrysler Sebring is by far the best value out there. If you're buying a convertible to enjoy with friends or family, this is the only car that will allow you to have 3 other adults tag along. The BMW 330ci and others in its class don't come close to the passenger comfort afforted in the Sebring. Add to that the stylish looks, perky engine (200 HP is a must), leather trimming, front-wheel drive and you have a wonderful package in the Sebring. And, it's made in the USA! I wholeheartedly recommend it.
I love it!

My car is about to hit 180,000 miles Ive had for almost 2 years now. I'm only 17 and it is the perfect starter car for me. The only problem I have with it right now is the air bag light comes on and turns right back off, and then continues to do that for awhile and eventually stops. I've only had to fix a few things, the most expensive was the convertible top because the previous owners had it in Florida and the window ripped and they duct taped it and that tape melted and ruined the top. Other then that it has caused no issues a d I use it as my daily driver.

Overall good car if taken care of. minor overheat problem and alignment. Interior seats don't hold comfort over time and tend to sag.

Was able to buy it for about $100 less than TMV in 3/01, beginning of recession. Two problems with build quality: (i)the trunk leaked and it took them two tries to fix it (now it's fine) and the rear window defroster broke (they fixed it right the first time). Since then, it is a lot of fun to drive! Powerful and grips the road very well. Big enough for three kids in back. 4-disc CD player works great. Blasting music with the top down, whether in traffic or on the open highway is still a thrill (I'm 46). I look so happy that people talk to me at stop lights. Very glad to have it, recommend it highly.

very impressed with how much fun to drive and overall fit and finish. surprisingly quiet on open highway with top up or down. loaded with features especially compared with all the other convertibles out there to choose from, many costing thousands more.
