great car
i bought this car because i previously owned a 99 conv. if it hadn't been so run down i would have kept it. one of the nicest vehicles i have ever bought. i know people who only buy foreign, but with this vehicle you get alot for your money. the gas mileage has improved, the ride is nicer and overall, i would buy another one.
Sebring - best conceived of all
I have had Chrysler Convertibles since the first one in 1981 (a Lee Iacocca K- Car rattletrap). Each model got progressively better, borrowing from the lessons learned from the Mitsubishi partnership. Although my favorite was the 1987 (people would stop me on the street!) this one is the best performing and best conceived of all. New hot convertibles forget about the family - they are two seaters and are good as "third" cars. The Sebring takes performance and merges it with family fun, but doesn't forget to look great when you are without the family, too.

04 sebring ragtop
2nd sebring convertible - had 1997 and just loved it. couldn't wait to get the new style - much sleeker design - has very large trunk space and enough leg room that the back seat is actually usable, unlike the mustang which looks good but in reality, only sits 2... will keep for 5-6 years and probably start looking for another new one.
Fun car
A few months ago, we bought a 2004 Chrysler Sebring Limited Convertible. We love it. At first, my wife was against the purchase, but now she insists on doing all the driving. The car has 74,000 miles, but looks and drives like new.
Great car@affordable price
This is my second sebring convertable.. I love the car the way it handles the affordability and the open air drives on beautiful sunny days. It has a sleek yet not too classy look to it. Any one looks great!!!! Driving a Sebring
Thanks
We are very pleased with our Sebring Limited. After driving it for a little over 5 weeks now we have experienced no problems. Used Edmunds.com to arrive at the dealership with a price, they were right on the money and we believe it was a large part of a nice buying experience, they gave us their price and we gave them ours, driving out of the dealership in slighly more then an hour. Only complaint to date is the windshield structor limits my view at traffic signals.
2004 Sebring Limited Convertible
I have had this vehicle for almost five months. My experience so far has been very positive. I have experienced no squeaks or rattles(even over very rough pavement). The car has given me no trouble at all. The only return trips back to the dealership have been for regularly scheduled maintenance. The only gripe I might have is that the paint scratches much too easily.
fun reasonably priced
its a great car.........some pep, some style lots of wind in the hair
Wow, what a pleasant surprise!
This is our first Chrysler since 1992 and what a difference a decade makes! This car is one incredible value. We paid just about $27,500 after rebate for a decked-out Limited. This easily beats our Mustang convertible by miles. It has a much nicer interior and is free from the shake and rattles seen in our Mustang. The gas mileage has been excellent and the trunk space is superb for a convertible. It's great being able to haul around 4 decent size people too. The Mustang back seat and truck are not in the same league. This car is relatively cheap to insure too!
NEW OWNER
SECOND SEBRING CONV. OWNED; 2004 APPEARS TO IMPROVEMENT OVER 98 MODEL.LITTLE DISAPPOINTED WITH RESPONSE EVENTHOUGH RATED AT 200HP DOES NOT APPEAR THAT MUST QUICKER THAN THE 98 MODEL.
dream car
wanted one since they first came out. Bought day lost company car. I have never enjoyed driving anything as much as this car. With the top down I feel like a king or maybe just a kid again One problem fixed in an hour without an appointment. Strangers tell me how much they like the car. Satin Jade is extremely beautiful. Suede inserts are a great idea. Can not wait to take on long drive.
Rag top man for life!
I've driven hard tops for years, never again. The Sebring Conv. is more fun to drive than anything else out there. I've got a saying, "If it's not raining, the tops down. The heat is so good in this car I run topless year round, even when the temps drop below freezing! ( I layer up too) The only thing I've hat to have fixed is the top switch. I've had no other problems. My '94 has over 86,000 miles on her.
The Engine is Dead
After several problems with this vehicle, I am giving up. The fuses tend to blow - windshield wiper fluid, windows, etc. and are "specialty" fuses that you can't replace. The transmission started sticking and now, the engine is dead - busted a rod out of the blue. Spoke to three mechanics - when I told them it was a Sebring, they all said, "Yeah, they tend to do that."
MY Baby's Review
I love my car. I have had it for 2 years and never had any problems with it at all. The only thing I can't do in it is take it to the drive through car wash as it will make it leak. It has a lot of get up and go, as I do have the LXi option with a v6 engine. The top is easy to lower, and is automatic with the push of a button. I only have to unlatch the top. I will always drive a Chrysler if the are all as reliable and fun to drive as my Sebring LXi Convertible!
2004 Sebring Limited
Having had a 2000 Sebring Limited, I felt I knew what I was in for....smooth driving, comfort and reliablity. This puppy has more pick up than the my 2000 had. I am a wee bit disappointed in the passenger window of my 2004 Limited though. I have a leak! The seating is comfortable and the passengers have no complaints. Overall I love the new 2004.
Great Value
This is my second sebring convertible and third Chrysler Convertible. They get better with each one. I Use the car all year. It is reliable comfortable and fun. Build quality and materials are very good.
2004 Sebring GTC
Great car value for the money-fun car to drive...very enjoyable..
Best Convertible Value on the Market
Exllent automotive value. This is the best convertible, dollar for dollar,compared to any other convertible I have looked at. More importantly, it is priced far less than most foreign made convertibles.
Too much fun!!
We traded in our 1997 Sebring Conv. There is no comparison. Everything we did not like is fixed! The car is beautiful, fun to drive, and better than ever!! The LTD, top of the line has everything you could want in options. It is an incredible car.
Ton of miles...Ton of Fun
Im researching cars for my wife and came across this site and decided to leave a review of what so far has been a mostly positive experience with my GTC convertible. It will be two years old next month and I'm about to hit 70,000 miles! Luckily (knocking on wood) I have not had any mechanical problems to date. All the problems have been with the body. Water has penetrated my right side headlight and right side tail light, some paint chips, rearviewmirror defrost stopped working, windows rattle on passenger side when you hit bumps and ac adapter shorted out. All in all, a positive review from a happy chrysler driver minus the nagging "cosmetic" issues.
Nice Car
I purchased a new limited. I was impressed by the gas millage. I also purchased the opitonal wind screen, it made a big difference. I would purchase another.
Like A Drive To The Beach
I love this vehicle! I drive about 3 hours each day and the Sebring is a great way to have some fun and relax while driving. The 2004 model has some great features and the engine provides some pep to get you out on the highway.
Convertible Fun in the Sun
This is a fun car to drive, despite a high degree of cowl shake. The leather seats are very well done, and the vinyl panels and dash look and feel high-quality, although the faux wood dash panels look a bit tacky. The white electro-luminescent instrument displays look great, especially at night. Acceleration is modest, but can be fun when using the manual feature of the auto transmission. The 2.7 liter v6 is not a barn-burner, bu fuel economy is good, about 22 mixed city driving, 28- 29 on the freeway. It is surprisingly quiet at highway speeds. Overall quality is mediocre. Repairs were required for the top's raise/lower system, passenger door window mechanism, engine stalling at start.
Six years and still going
I bought my car barely used back in 2004, and I'm still driving it in 2010. Nary a leak to date, with fairly minor problems...the engine's been fine, but it's other stuff, like the low front profile - I've learned to be careful not to pull in too far with nose in parking - the bumper catches and pulls loose), or the comparitively fragile motor mount. My biggest complaint is the front passenger window - it's temperamental. It works in cold weather but not in hot...I live in Phoenix. Enough said? All told though, it's been a fun six years and I'm hoping for at least a few more.
A Fun but Practical Car
This car has 75,000 miles and still looks and runs like new. We love it. It is not the most sporty convertible, but wasn't meant to be. But I think it's the largest, most practical. I have the Limited, which has every amentity available in 2004. Lots of thoughtful touches.
Top Down
Makes me feel young again. Gets lots of compliments
Love this Car
Have no compaints about car... Bought it before even driving.... Chrysler makes a good car and this is second I have had.
Grandma's Toy
My Sebring Limited Convertible is easy to handle and a fun car to drive. I especially like the way it corners. I first drove one as a rental on a 2 wk vacation, fell in love with it, came home and bought mine after driving GM vehicles exclusively for more than 40 years. Gas milage rated on the sticker at 28 miles per gallon, I recently got 30. I have driven other sport cars and find this one to be the most confortable riding.
Best for the $$$$$
Looked for a convertible that gives comfort,extra power not desired and the price was right on track, Very comfortable to drive and well worth the price. Not any real competition in this size vehicle. Work for a major competitor and the Quality is very good
fun
at my age it is fun to drive such a nice car.there is plenty of room in the back seat. we took the car with the top down and went to canada. it was a blast,justto feel like a kid again.
New "family car"
I bought this as a fun car. We have 3 small children and my wife and I wanted a "date" car. I enjoy driving it. It is quiet with the top up and the mileage is good for a V6. The car is not a sports car but it is very responsive and quick. We look forward to taking it on many weekend getaways when we can convince someone to watch or kids.
FUN CAR TO DRIVE
I CANT IMAGINE PAYING MORE MONEY FOR ANY OTHER CONVERTIBLE. I GUESS IF YOU HAVE MORE MONEY THAN SENSE!THIS CAR IS A BLAST TO DRIVE AND I THINK IT LOOKS AS GOOD AS ANY OTHER RAGTOP WITHIN 20 GRAND.I GOT THE RED PEARLCOAT AND IT IS BEAUTIFUL.THE RIDE AND HANDLING IS ABOVE WHAT I EXPECTED.PLENTY OF TRUNK ROOM AND IT SEATS FOUR VERY COMFORTABLY.EXCEPTIONAL VALUE!
good quality
The car is put together nicely. fit and finish wise. Easy to function. Top is very fast up or down. I was surprised for a Chrysler. You dont feel like your in a cheap car. If you consider 31k cheap. Smooth and stable. Red inferno is spectacular color when polished. I have owned about 24 cars and I am 44 years old. I put right there in the top 10
[bork g]
we like the overall style and admiring glances...gold and black colors good combo...good tires and wheel style...storage pockets are good...needs greater range in steering wheel tilt...no place to put trash bag...electric window buttons on drivers door should be positioned a little further forward... NICE CAR! but not the dealer, so for any servicing we will go to the competition.
It's fun, it's cheap, what's not to like
Had the car for about 2 weeks and I love it. It's not as fast or plush as most other convertibles but for the price it can't be beat.
Good Car
Car has been good to me since i bought it in 2003. No major repairs, just standard maintenance.
REM'S ROAD TRIP
Took on a short road trip to Palm Springs CA. from Seattle WA. I was not impressed with the gas mileage I thought it should have been higher for the size of car. The car was fine to ride in as long as you took a break every hour or so. It had lots of get up for passing. The car was quite for a convertable and with the top up was very confortable. I do not like driving this car in the rain however as the backend is light. The overall road trip was nice and had no suprises.
Dreams Do Come True
If you have always dreamed of owning a convertable(like me) this is a winner! It drives good. It rides good. It looks good.What more can you want? Even my husband(picky, picky) likes this car! Too bad I don't let him drive it!
Ok Folks, this is an awesome/fun vehicle
Researched the Touring convertibles. Test-drove several, looking for one that showed excellent engine,transmission,brake,driving performance. Finally found a dealership trade-in 1-owner with 1.5 years warranty left. Amazing. Great V6 power, great maneuvering, Great steering, quality on manufacturing excellent, not what I've been used to reading about. Been driving around in 40 deg temps with top down and heat on, and getting off big-time. Everyone I take for a drive has felt the same. I now understand those who say when you've gone convertible, you never go back to a standard car. Black body, black top, black interior, just visually tantalizing, folks. The 10s on-demand roof is the kicker
Lovin' it!
I love my new inferno red Sebring convertible! My husband surprised me with it last week, and I am lovin' it! I had driven "sensible" sedans -- and I love the look and drive of this car!
Whats was I thinking?
Sold this car as soon as I could, the Quality is one of the worst I've ever seen on a car. This was my 5th Chrysler and I think it will be may last one.
I love my car
I originally was given a 1996 Sebring as a gift from my daughter. I will not go back to a hard top. NO matter how I am feeling once I drive a bit with the top down, I feel better
Super Cool Cruiser
I love this car, it has a real sports car look - like a Jaguar but at an affordable price and it can seat 4 in comfort, with the top down it's a Super Cool Cruiser! Some of the interior bits are cheap plastic but they are on a Porch and Jaguar too! - I think what it lacks in performance and build quality it more than makes up for in style.
I love my car
This is my first Crysler. I love the roomy interior and the looks of the car over all. For the price it is as sharp as the 50K and up cars. It has pleanty of get up and go. I will look at them first when I purchase my next car. I have seen many 98 models in my area and they still look as good as mine. I am pleased with this car.
i was wrong about this car
i reported about this car before and said it was really bad but chrysler fixed them all and now its great after my lease is up im going to buy another car mabe the crossfire or the new hemi powered 300c.
Mama's got a brand new ride!
Bought for my wife day after Xmas. Don't get much of a chance to drive it, as she fights for the keys. Limited with Pearl Green color continues to get us compliments wherever we go. No long trips yet, but ride & performance good so far. Have a trip to New Orleans in couple of weeks, will know more then. The leather/upholstery seating could use some structural improvement, as I still have not found a truly comfortable setting. If it's above 65 degrees & not raining, the top's down...... Wish a sport bar was an option, would make a dynamite appearance finish to this car.
Classy and Sporty!
A very comfortable riding car, easy to put the top up or down. Good legroom in the backseat, nice large trunk.
Wish I didnt buy
Lemon. That is how I describe my red sebring convertable. The check engine light came on after one week. Was "fixed" and came on again the following week. They ordered a part, and asid it was safe to drive. In the mean time 3 complete electrical failures. the 3rd one after it was "fixed" again. And a broken RPM gauge to boot. 4th time in the shop and nothing fixed yet. And so far no satisfaction from Chrysler! Don't buy!
Chrysler Sebring Convertible = fun
Great car; fun to drive; very reliable for me.
