My 1st Convertible
I have owned t-tops but never a convertible. i rented a lebaron conv. back in the mid 80's and was not impressed. This conv. is totally different. We love it. The seating in back is perfect, plenty of leg room for adults. Very fun to drive. It's my wifes car but i drive it 50% of the time.
Best Convertible I have ever owned
This car handles like a dream on the road, rides real smooth and when riding in the back seat it is a real smooth ride. I couldn't ask for anything more. This car hugs the road, the top seals real good, very little wind noise with the top up. For the money this is the best car on the road today. Fuel getting around 28-30 miles to the gallon on the highway, not as good in the city but still better than most cars today.

Owner of Five different year Sebrings loves them
1. The car has great mileage if you do not rod it or drive over 70 mph. The car has excellent cornering and handling with all five sebrings from 1999 through 2006 getting over 30 mpg on the road and 28.3 in town driving. 2. very spacious trunk that can hold 2 large golf bags, two hangup bags and several smaller bags! 3 With five Sebrings totaling over 600,000 miles I have replace one thermostat, two batteries, four belts and three sets of brakes. No engine or transmission problems ever; 4. All of my Sebrings were 6 cylinder which makes a big difference in acceleration and mileage performance.

Johnny on the spot
I think for the money invested in the car, it is a comparable, sporty, fun to drive, fairly economical, good looking form a bill for the morning. This is the second one I've owned and I would buy one again. I get lots of compliments on it.

Fun Little Car - doesn't break the bank
I love my car!I come from a passion for sports cars, but have learned that cars are a necessary waste of money-so the Sebring Vert is my compromise. It's fun to drive, relatively safe, and thieves don't want it. The car was 6 months old when I bought it with very low mileage - and certified; for about half the cost of a new one. This was a secret I found out early on, and I am glad I did; why throw money out the window? Cars really are a bad investment, but I don't feel guilty about this one. Its not a BMW or Mercedes, but it gets the job done nicely without sacrificing the fun factor or the family factor. I don't drive much or very far so mpg on mine isn't reliable for comparison.
Fun Vehicle
I have owned 11 cars before this Sebring Touring Convertible, and I by far enjoy this the most. My last vehicle was a 2000 Sebring JXi, that ran perfectly, but was a tad under- powered. The 2.7 liter engine corrects that issue, and returns better mileage (22-27 mpg for me). The car does nothing perfectly, but also nothing horribly. This is why rental fleets had so many. The car is easy to drive, feels solid, and controls are easy to reach and intuitive. There are abundant standard features, like lighted visor mirrors, ample storage, power everything, roomy trunk, steering wheel controls, suede leather seats, etc. The cabin is tight and quiet closed, and the top and windows drop in 9 seconds flat.
Great car
Bought a 2006 Chrysler Sebring gtc convertible paid 1100 with only 76k miles.... more quiet then my 2019 Jeep Cherokee better handling and way faster as well..... bought me me needing a little bit of work.... if you know how to work on cars it’s pretty cheap to do.

I'm thrilled. Wife is ecstatic.
This is our first convertible. After reviewing all available in our price range, this one by far seemed the best choice -- simply because it's easily the classiest-looking of all its peers. We've had old Fords and newer Mercedes...my wife has never cared which we drove. To her, a car's a car. The Sebring Touring Convertible, however, has her coming to my office EVERY DAY to steal it from me or to wait until I get off so we can just drive. She hates driving in traffic...except with this car (when the top's down). I'm thrilled. Wife is ecstatic. NOTE: Get the V6. Don't you dare skimp on this. It's not very powerful, really, so don't go for anything less.
2006 Chrysler Sebring Limited Convert
For the price, it's a great little car. Four adults can actually fit in this convertible - great for our two grandkids. Better ride than I expected and quieter than I expected. This is our Florida car and the top is rarely up.
Would not recommend this car to anyone!
I bought this car used back in May of 2013 it only had 37k miles. After about the first 1000 miles the alternator went out, the doors started rattling, and the top whistles when driving down the Interstate. The Sebring has Sloppy handling in curves and has horrible braking. The headlights also are not bright at all! however the 2.7 L V6 engine offers great power and decent fuel economy.
2006 Chrysler Sebring GTC Money Pit
This car, at 96000 miles, well maintained, has been nothing but a nightmare. I'm the second owner, paid $4k for the 2006 GTC model. After only 6 months of ownership I've had to replace the fuel pump, a transmission sensor when the car died while driving 35 mph & a new alternator...approximately $1,300 in repairs!! Now KBB is telling me my car is worth $2,100 private party sales? This car is a 6 cylinder but reacts sluggishly when accelerating from a stopped position. Car shakes & seems very unstable with even the slightest poor road handling, especially when top is retracted. I will never purchase or recommend a Chrysler product again!!

Not a bad car
I love to drive here in Colorado with the top down, and am able to do it often. The car handles with a great suspension and has no problems in the mountains. The issue I had was the transmission going out on me with only 35,000 miles. Fortunately it was still under the warranty, but a bit too close for my liking. It is a fun care to have and drive.
chrysler sebring convertible great
I have thoroughly enjoyed this car from day one. More room by far than the mustang miata, BMW, or any other convertible in their price range. Fuel economy is good; about 26 to 28. I love my convertible.
Not for city living
We bought our '06 Sebring convertible in Naples, Florida. Put about 25,000 miles on it while living in Florida. No mechanical problems to speak of. Moved to Atlanta, Georgia for work. pothole central. In less than 4 months, the convertible went from a smooth driving vehicle to the noisest car I've ever owned. It's the windows/roof/doors that rattle. The rattles are constant. I think it's a combination of 2 things: In Florida I kept the top down all of the time. Lousy city streets. Great car, but if rattles bother you, this is not the car for you. We are trading for a new sedan, as we can't take the noise. Poor build quality. No mechanical problems to speak of, though. noisy.
don't believe the bad reliability reports
purchased new.it has been very reliable. one fairly major repair in 12years (replaced cam position sensor-$375) I learned not to have a heavy foot on the brake pedal after replacing the rotors twice. one complaint- some rust on rocker panels. a few small spots rusted through. the car has always been always garage kept (this is a problem in winter snow when snow on the car melts in the warm garage. road salt won't affect metal unless moisture is present causing rust. another complaint- chrysler dealer charges for maintenance are high. I paid well over $1,000 to replace timing belt and water pump when required. also the car isn't taking rough roads as well as when new, could use a set of front and rear shocks, although all in all I can't complain

Fun Car to Drive
Great gas mileage on highway and city. Lots of get up and go and holds the road well on curves. The only drawback is the air noise on the highway-the top seals could be tighter! Good sound system and fun to drive. I bought it for my wife, but I liked it so much, that I drive it most of the time commuting to and from work. Only serviced at regular intervals and no performance or service problems. I am looking for a newer one. It's one of the BEST convertibles that I have owned.
Fun car to own and drive
I bought the 2006 Sebring two years ago when it had 15,000 miles and it was about 1 year old. It has been a very good car and is a lot of fun to drive. The fuel economy is very good, 30 mpg on highway, 25 in city. Good looking car, good sound system, Excellent cruiser car, large truck, good vacation car and weekend car.
best and funnest car me ever had!
this is such a nice car, its sells for a great price too . my wife and I were afraid at first to buy one because people told us it was a junk car,but we talked to several people who have them and one with 185,000 miles on it with never 1 single problem,now there our friends and we do trips together too, this is not a perfect car and diff.people have diff. likes ,but for us we would deffinetly buy this car again,we love it its got style,
My second car a beauty
I bought the car with 10,600 miles and it drove as if it were brand new, good suspension that you don't feel every bump like most convertibles. The base speakers can get quite loud.
Sebring Convertible
I've only owned the vehicle for a few months (it was a present for my wife) but I've enjoyed the simplicity of the dashboard and the leg room in the front. I can't wait until the spring to put down the top on a regular basis. The cost versus other comp. cars is what impressed me along with the style of the car. It's sleek and not boxy. More like on the jaguar line.
Glad to have it!
I purchased my 2006 sebring used in January 2007 with 16,000 miles on i. It has been a great car. I had a few minor adjustments to make during the warranty period, the driver's window and the rear defroster (both under warranty, of course) this car has been steady and reliable in the 16 months I have owned it... I recommend it with confidence... A smooth ride, nice sound system and overall a very nice car...
Number 3
My 1st was a '99 JXI conv. My 2nd was an '03 Limited conv. and my present, an '06 Limited conv. I obviously like the car. I've had good luck w/all. Each was purchased 2yrs. old w/low mileage. I've gotten compliments on all 3. They've all been fun to drive w/very few repairs and each has improved over the previous. The '06 seems more solid and more quiet at time of purchase than the '03. The ride is smooth and it handles very well. I live in Pa. and drop the top every chance I can from March till Nov.
giddy up ah... go
We have the GTC model which has the sporty front end and hugs the turns nicely and does not sway. I put some self stick weather striping across the top at the front so closure would quiet the wind draft. It worked. Everything is ok about the car except for the quick stop and the quick start which it can do sporty but It seems the torque converter can't find the right gear to catch the engine at the sudden drop of the higher rpm then gassing it quickly. I have always thought that a 5 spd transmission could solve the problem. So we don't do any Hollywood stops and let the car come to a complete stop before hitting the throttle.

Worst car I ever owned!!
I bought my first new car in 1968 and since that time I have owned 23 new cars; everything from compact to luxury, foreign and domestic.From a reliability and performance standpoint I will give it a zero and I'm being kind. It is so unreliable my wife, for whom I purchased the car, will no drive it and because it performs so poorly I will not take it on a long trip.
Nice at the Price!
NO...problems in over 20,000 miles and the gas mileage here in flat Delaware is 28 mpg. Find a nicer convertible at the price and I'll buy it!
I love my car
I had a 1996 Sebring convertible before and I was very satisified. I felt the new style was not as sleek as the old models, but after driving this one, I feel that the car performs and feels much better. It is more solid and drives with less floting than the older model. I am glad I did not let my sence of design be the only thing that ruled my purchase. My husband is a big man and fits better in this car. I love my car..........
Love My Sebring
I love this car. Always wanted a convertible but they were out of reach cost wise. This was an excellent purchase.
Easy Rider
Love my car. Will miss her. Fun, fast, and reliable with a great comfortable ride.
