Love my Car!
I bought my LXi January 2007 with 59,000 miles on it right out of a lease. This car was my second car and i wanted something sporty, but reliable. I could not believe i found it. I unfortunately will be parting with is soon because I am 6' tall and there is no back seat space even for a car seat, but I can't complain. I didn't want anyone in my car to ruin it anyway! Such a fun car with the sport shifter. I unfortunately got stuck with a noisy suspension that has never given me any problems! First problem I am dealing with is at 115,000 miles the alternator died. That was my turning moment to say I should probably upgrade now before more happens :*(
2002 Chrysler Sebring LXi Coupe.
I Have Owed 2 Chrysler Sebring Coupes between the years of 2001 and 2002. I love the cars. The body style and the interior is very nice. I enjoy the 3.0 engine. I just wish it had a little more power. But. My issues I'm having on both cars are a Over Heating Issue. Seems like when Im driving up a hill, the car over heats. And, In the summer time. The car over heats alot.. I Have to run the air constantly to keep the fans going.. I was wondering if anyone else has this issue and if anyone could tell me what that is...

I just purchased my Sebring from a dealership auct
I own a 5spd and I haven't seen too many more like it. I recently had a stage one clutch in it and I'm also going to put a hyper chip in it and possibly NOS. I've got over 200,000 miles on it but it drives like it's off the showroom floor. I have outrun brand new mustangs 5.0 & quite a few brand new trucks as well. And I haven't even put in my chip, or cold air intake. I don't think that I get anywhere near the estimated mpg on either. It is what it is... I've got a service soon light on and it lists all kinds of possibilities. It's all mainly oxygen sensors and other small thing's. I absolutely love my car. Can't wait until I'm done with it, just to see how fast a 3.0 can go..

quite a car for the price, $20,000
handling, ride, and performance in a car that cost me $20,000. Best overall is the performance of the 200 hp v6. It really revs quickly and also has plenty of power on the inter- states.
fun ragtop
I fell in love with the way it drives, it has ooomp. people look at it and like it. Very elegant looking
Chrysler LX 2dr sedan
The only negatives are related to comfort. Auto sits too low and seats are not as comfortable as they could be.
Good Car
Car drives and handles great. Good car for traveling and everyday use.
My Excellent Sebring Coupe!
I purchased my 02' Sebring LXI coupe used with just over $100,000 miles on it and I was going to be the 3rd owner. I was trading up from my 1997 Sebring coupe. Yep, that's right. I loved my 97' so much I was determined to get another. All maint. records came w/car and throughout very little troubles. And I have done nothing to it but new tires and oil changes in the 2 years I have owned it. It now has 125,000 miles and runs great. I feel so lucky to have such a great car. They are EXCELLENT cars, I highly recommend. Chrysler and other domestic cars are all I will ever own.
a sweet ride
The car only had a 300 mile break in on the mitsubishi engine, and I haven't been beaten at a stop light since!!!
Mixed Feeling
Not sure what to think. The car ran flawless for 70,000 miles but I had nothing but trouble with everything else. Power windows, heater switch (twice), brakes, seat belt bracket. Every item was covered but still required going to the dealer for repairs. I would not buy another Chrysler until they build a more dependable car
Great car!
Great value in this price range. Nice low profile, good pick-up, fun to drive. Passengers in the back seat are out of luck...there is not much room back there, especially with a tall driver. Interior lighting is a bit strange, and the sun visors are essentially useless on the side windows.
A Fun-to Drive Practical Commuter Car
I did a spreadsheet comparison before I bought the car and am satisfied that I made a good choice. I have had more repairs than I anticipated, but it (so far) never stranded me on the road. Mid-grade gasoline provides good performance with the 5-speed manual transmission. I don't notice any difference with premium gasoline. The turning radius is too wide, but I am comparing it to my Mitsubishi 3000GT. I just looked at a another(2008)coupe, with manual transmission. It seems like a great car, but it offers too few advantages over my paid-off Sebring to persuade me to "upgrade" at this time. I will keep it in mind, however, as the Sebring ages.
Sebring LXi
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.
Stylin' Sebring
Overall, this has been a great car. It's been very reliable, and I love the pick-up of the 3.0 V6. I get compliments on the body style all the time, and the black paint looks so sleek! Well, it used to until it recently started to fade and oxidize like you wouldn't believe. Especially on the roof and trunk. Dealer said they'd cover the cost of repainting those areas, so we'll see how that goes. Other than the paint, it's been a great car, and I've had no major problems.
The Best !!!
I have not had a single problem with this vehicle, and I've had it for 2 years and 30,000 miles. It drives great and is very comfortable. I have every option except leather and the total price was about 23,000, wich is great for a premium coupe. It is an overall beautiful vehicle and i find it much more attractive than the new 03's with the different front bumper and dash. The older dash in the 01 and 02's were much more sporty.
So far, so good
I bought my car due to being pressured by my brother, who sold vehicles at the place I bought the car. It came fully loaded and included a pretty hefty price tag, but I am so glad that I did! I love this car!
great vehicle
I bought this car new 3 and a half years ago. Have really enjoyed it. Love the style and drive. The only work I've had done on the car has been brake replacement. I do a lot of stop and go driving. The car runs great. Smooth drive and outstanding pick-up. The infinity sound system is also a big plus. The rear seat room is tight, but to be expected in a coupe.
A great car
I bought my 2002 Chrysler Sebring LXI Coupe in May of 2003. It was a brand new 2002 that was left over so I got it for $18,350!!! I think the car is stunningly beautiful on the outside. Mine is loaded with every option but ABS. Driving the car is pure pleasure. The V6 is silky smooth and really pulls hard. The 5-speed shifts smoothly and the clutch uptake is perfect. The intake/exhaust sound when you wind it up is the perfect blend of turbine-like harmonics. The interior is nice, with leather seats and an terrific Infinity sound system. I'm betting that the Mitsubihi drivetrain holds up better than the other Sebrings.
LX V6 SUNROOF
Great ride. Plenty of power with the V6. Effortless acceleration. Surprisingly quiet ride and decent sound system (4 cd changer)
propespective buyer
good car for the money.
Smelly Windows
If you live where it doesn't rain & you don't want to wash your car you'ld love this car. The window stripping does not dry out, the whole vehicle smells musty. I would suggest carrying an oxygen tank with you so you can breathe. Loud inside cabin noise does not make for a pleasant ride. The passenger seat does not lock into place, & can't be fixed. It's been into two different Chrysler dealerships to be repaired, after 10 times, still nothing has changed. If Chrysler thinks they can produce cars with such little care & quality they should think again. If you complain too much they might not service your car, they did it to me.
boring
the thing has only 200hp and does not handle well at all. very slugish through the corners. Nissan altima is a better buy.
Buyer beware!!!
I actually have an older model and it blows. Once it hit the 36,000 mile mark it fell apart. I've had two transmisions in 1 and 1/2 years put in. Everything they've fixed has to get redone within 13 months. 2 transmisions, 3 CV jonts, 4 batteries, 3 lateral arms,5 cd players, the front and rear brakes were done and both had to be replaced in 10 months. I tried to contact Chrysler and they tell me I should have had the work done at a dealer. I DID!!! They will not stand behind their work. I've talked to a few mechanics and other Sebring owners and aparently the transmision is a common problem with this car. I'll never buy a Chrysler again.
Wrong to have these feeling for a car?
Got a Dark Titanium with moonroof/17in CHR wheels/Gray Leather interior and all the goodies. Love it! It's a thing of beauty and a blast to drive. The styling and ride are pretty much perfect. Very roomy for a coupe. If you live in a snowy region, get the ABS + traction control. I had a hard time making it slide and skid and I was trying!
