Love my Sebring
I've had my 2006 Sebring Touring Edition since August 2011. I did have to replace an O2 sensor and heat sync sensor as well as the alternator last year. The car has over 90k on it. It was under 70 when I bought it. Mine has handled nicely and is fun to drive on curvy roads with the top down. Aside from the above mentioned issues I've had no mechanical problems and keep up with routine maintenance. I'm not getting the mileage some others are getting. I get maybe 25 MPG city. All and all, I have no complaints about the car.
Best car I have owned...love my Chrysler
I have owned nice cars but this car is the top.I have owned my car for about 4 years. I love my 2006 sebring touring. Fantastic car, i love the size not too big or too small. Runs like a charm with normal relacement of parts. Its actually really good in the winter. Safety has airbags all around car. I live in the country and drive mostly highway 22-25 miles per gallon. Can't really find any negative. I just hit 170,000 miles and this baby is like the energizer bunny. I'm not kidding. My daughter keeps saying mom why dont you get a new car. I said because I dont need one. I love my car. She sees all the fancy cars out there. What the difference is they have 400.00 car pymts and i dont. I havent had a car payment in over ten years. So I have to laugh when I was younger always thought I needed new car at 70,000 but my Chrysler has proved me wrong. Chrysler please make this same model car again.

great lil car
I got my Sebring just a few weeks ago, and have loaded on the miles....GREAT MPG...average 30 plus on consistent basis. Handles really well, easy to drive, fun to be in...get so many compliments on the look and color. I keep her clean, and when the standard rims are clean, they get so many compliments...stock but ever so sexy. Been easy on the wallet so far, even with 115k on it when I got it...keep up the maintenance, should be a great ride for a while!!!
A great American Car
I bought this 2006 TSi as a leftover in 07. It now has 60,000 miles and has not had the first problem. The reason I bought it instead of an 07 was it was priced right and loaded w/ options, and Lifetime Warranted. I have a 97 Stratus which I believe is about the same size and frame, it now has 345,000 miles w/ no major problems. And parts for these are 1/4th of parts for foreign cars. I consistently get over 30 MPG highway and that's saying something here in the Mts. of Colorado. It's fun to drive and has very crisp handling, a must in the mts. Overall a great car. Just wish the seats had more padding.
Fun Drive, but no reliability
This was a fun car to drive...when it worked. I owned this car for 4 years and had nothing but problems. Started with 20k miles, now has 80k. Repairs include: Starter (2x), Front Wheel Bearings (5x), Rotors (5x), Alternator (2x), O2 Sensor (3x), Fuel Sensor (1x), Heat Sensor (1x), and Wiring Harness (1x). It burned oil, eventuallydeveloped an oil leak. Power steering squealed like crazy, so I replaced the belt and the pump, still squeals like crazy. Headlight and taillight bulbs blow constantly. It now sits in the driveway because my wife is too afraid to drive it. The engine compartment is too cramped to do anything without tearing apart other components...all in all, a nightmare.
My 2006 Chrysler Sebring Sedan
I like my Chrysler Sebring. It handles and drives well. It has plenty of power for a four cylynder vehicle. I did expect better gas mileage which I believe should improve. At this time I only hav abour 1300 miles on my vehicle.
Dec 2017 SOLD
5/2017 Well for Christmas I got a new car! I sold the Chrysler for $700, a lot more than the dealer was going to give me. I loved my Chrysler. It was my baby and she treated me well for the 10 and a half years I had her! The only reason I got a new car was that the front end, although I'd had it fixed in 2015, was not going to make another year, or so my husband thought. I'd have kept her for another 10 years if I could have. 11/2016 I still love my girl! More now than ever, because there is no car payment. Had the hood re-painted in the spring; had the ball joint replaced, the window motor replaced, the power door lock mechanism repaired (someone had disconnected it, not removed) , got a nice wood plank to put in the trunk over the spare donut tire well, and now we are looking at getting the trunk POP SPRING repaired. Other than that, this car is worth every penny I paid! I still love it! My husband is always telling me he wants to buy me a new one, but, if I want a new one, I'll go rent one for a day or two! This car has no technology other than a cassette/cd player and one power plug where a lighter used to plug into, of course, it came with no ashtray and at the time, that sucked for me! But now I am a nonsmoker, so I have no issue. 2015: I bought in 2007 Apr with 17k miles on it. Overpriced for sure. Have finally paid it off and not wanting to get into another car pmnt. First thing fixed was the fuel tank...then the drivers window motor... now it is 10 yrs old since it was built and it needs new passenger window motor and some dumb head removed the interior door lock mechanism so I am having to get that installed as well; And needs a paint job! The all leather seats were awesome until my husband had to use my car for a few years, so I just bought slip on seat covers. The trunk 'donut' cover broke the first time my husband pulled it out, so need a replacement for that. I love this car, rides great and is smooth on the highway. Gas mileage, not so good, about 23 mpg. it is now at 118k and just starting to have some things that need to be addressed like ball joints and steering belt; Firestone replaced the alternator a couple months back...

Fun car - Don't buy new !!!!
The Sebring convertible is one of the few remaining fun and full sized convertibles on the market today. I just purchased my third Sebring convertible. I purchased them all used with low miles because Chrysler's drop in value so quickly. I highly recommend the vehicle for numerous reasons but please be aware that these vehicles are know to require more than routine maintenance. Buy a great car at the least possible price because you will be spending money on maintanence.
christine is her name
I bought the 2.7 litre v6.i absolutely love it.i named her christine.i bought it off a lot in 2013.paid 5.,000.had 89,000 miles.i noticed a small issue that a full tune up would fix.i was right, new coils and plugs did the trick.what people havent figured out is that the engine is designed by mercedes.from a dead stop, it produces massive torque.very fast.i upgraded the exhaust to flowmaster, now she rumbles.I love this car so much that now it has a bluetooth cd player with a awesome sound system.im very pleased.its a smooth ride, everything is reaching distance when driving and plenty of power when i need it.from my research i have found that the v6 touring sebring is basically a sports car with four doors.

Still my fun sedan in my memories..
The only weak point we found was a plastic bleeder valve in the cooling system- Ours broke at 96000 miles and it was a $500 fix ( 70 for the valve but 430 in time) Otherwise we had some warranty work early in its life. Generally I bought the car on the spur of the moment trading in a Gr Chkee just to get a little better mpg The car always got compliments- had two tone leather, wood trim, and plenty of reserve power; It handled like my Talon TSI on the road. While it had all the electronic toys you could get- it quickly began to lag in electronics when I traded it in on a 2013. Now the 2013 lacks features like blind spot warning and variable cruise control and auto stop. I never regretted the Sebring for a daily driver. We have had over 30 cars-Olds, Gr Chkees; Eagles; Talons;Commander;Vans; 3 Wranglers and the family Cadillacs. So we have a good base of comparisons

Chrysler Sebring 2006 Touring
I have a Touring since 2years. I bought them at 31 000km. Now,My car have 107 000km and he's still running perfectly. The only thing I hate from this car is the quality of plastics used for dash & doors. TOO CHEAP ! It's my second car and I love them. The V6 is smooth,the car is very light so 200hp is sufficient for me,for the moment. Fuel efficient is very great on highway but can be better in city. 10km/l (25% city,75% highway). The best fuel economy for all V6 sedan like Mazda6,Camry,Altima,Accord or Sonata.
2.7ltr has alot of power
interior room is far better than most of the cars in this class. the 2.4ltr is not a good engine but the 2.7ltr is better than most cars,and gets great gas mileage on the the road.
Frustrated
I have had this car for about 3 years and have had nothing but problems. I guess I should have expected it when the gear shift kept locking up on me. Since I have gotten the car I have spent almost 2000 on repairs. First it was the gear shift(under warranty), then some other part I can't remember right after the warranty expired, then the transmission(under warranty) and censors($500), then there was a leak that..turns out it was the gas tank ($900). Very noisy, I also had the brakes replaced but the car still makes alot of noise. Its so frustrating because I cant depend on my car. Looking for a new car...going to trade it in I have had enough.
Decent Car
I've driven this car for roughly two years and haven't had a single problem with it.
Gorgeous Car
I love my Sebring! I've had her for over 2 years now and have never had any trouble with her. The interior is roomy, I'm 5'10" tall and have no problems hitting my head. It came with Eagle LS tires and I switched to Michelin Destiny. It reduced the road noise dramatically! Truck is nice and big, the back seat is roomy and I like having the option to put the seat down in the back. I get compliments on my car all the time! Glad I got the 2006 model, the 2007 and later model isn't all that attractive to me. Thrilled with it!!
Would get another one
Bought with 21,000 on it and it now has 83,000. It is going in tomorrow for the first major maintenance. Only changed the oil for the past 62,000 miles. Recommended.
A great choice
Even though I just got this car about a weeks ago I love this car. Even though I am a Ford girl I do have to say I am glad I bought this car it drives great, it turns way awesome, the radio system is great, and all around its just great!
Very nice reliable family car
Had my sebring for 2 and a half years now put many many miles on it and it still runs and sounds new! The head room is a issue for tall people,well actually im only 5'7 and i bang my head alot on the roof,so that maybe a good thing to consider. Odomotor lights are green if maybe they made it abit more sporty it would be perfect. The seats in the back are not the greatest but hey thier seats,right? Over all love the car,safe and reliable
Good Car For The Price
All I can say is, "So far, so good!" I purchased my Sebring used with about 69,000 miles on it and I can say that I have had no problems with it. Shifts well, great gas mileage (I have actually calculated it consistently at 32 mpg on the highway), and very sporty styling. The 4 cylinder does feel a little underpowered... I wish I had the six after driving for awhile. I would sacrifice some fuel economy for a little more horsepower. Not a lot of fluff. If you need a large passenger compartment, but want some fuel economy this is a good car to consider. I'm happy with it overall.
Joy to own, suprise!
I bought this car for driving to and from work. I thought a convertible might be fun. I had no idea of what great fuel economy, and what a pleasure as an everyday driver. Fun, faster than a speeding ticket and great stereo also! I also enjoy 800+ mile journeys in comfort with 30+ mpg's.
2006 Sebring Sedan
Very pleased the the vehicle and the dealership. They traded the radio to what I wanted. Lots of good nooks for all my "stuff". Center console storage is bigger than my 95 Mazda 626. Good sized trunk with place for full sized spare. A/C is nice and cold. Remote trunk release is nice too. All around - I'm pleased. I like the lines on this car. Hopefully it will hold up like my 626 which I had for nearly 12 years.
low price......high quality
fun to drive....lots of room...great car...with a great price...color scheme and body style are fantastic....
It reminds me of an older Honda Accord
We downgraded from a Pontiac Bonneville and just purchased our 2006 Chrysler Sebring Touring Sedan a month ago, and already it's a disappointment. Don't get me wrong, for the price we got it at was a good deal but the ride quality sucks and the seats are uncomfortable. It feels like you're riding on a skate board and the transmission shifts like a standard instead of an automatic. It rides and operates like an older Honda from the 80's
Reliable but has problems
I purchased this car from Enterprise Car Rental Company in Plano Texas when is was still considered a new car. It has been reliable, but noisy. Sounds like a helicopter flying over my head constantly. I am hard of hearing and wear a hearing aid. When I am driving this car on the interstate it is hard for me to hear on my cell phone because of the noise. The a/c condenser is creating too much water, it is leaking into the passenger side of my car and it drips onto the serpentine belt and squeals. The fuel econ sucks and very little power. I also own a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am, it is more powerful and gets better gas mileage. Plus, it was a pain to replace driver headlight bulb It went out twice!
Great Mid Size Car
Just got this sebring, but I already love this car. Gets great mpg as opposed to the Dodge caravan I had. Four cylinders are all noisy so that doesn't bother me, performance is good for a four banger, could use more headroom up front but that's the trade off for it's sleek styling.
Just got it
I have always owned a manuel trans. This car is only a 4 cylinder and to me - it is awesome. The price is low- but look I have always had a car that was OLD. So to me this is awesome- Ask me again in 6 months.
Seemingly Reliable Car with a lot of go!
I purchased this car used with 19,000 miles and have to say it still had the new car smell. Handles and drives well. 2.7 liter v6 engine has a lot of pep and takes a minute to get use to the jumpiness of the throttle, however this is a plus once you get accustomed. The sedan is sharp on the outside with nice big wheels and sleek lines overall. The interior feels solid and reliable to me with lots of space and high end farbric bucket seats. I like the chunky radio buttons and the standard sound system is quite good. The interior is dated but the finishes seem reliable as a result. Engine builty by Chrysler- Mercedes so very reliable.
Love Sebring
My daughter actually talked me into buying the Sebring. I absolutely love this car. I have the 4 cyl, but she still has pep to her. Easy and fun to drive. Would definitely recommend this car to anyone looking for a good value in an automobile.
Last Chrysler I buy
Nice looking car, inside and out, comfortable. 2.4L engine lacks power and the fuel mileage not so great for a 4 cylinder. The engine is not built very well. It is noisy, lots of lifter and valve noises. Sounds like it is going to come apart. Trips to the dealer have proved useless I was told that they all sound like that. My next car is going to be a Toyota or a Honda. I would not recommend Chrysler vehicles to my friends
2006 Atlanta sebring review
Transmission has always had an abrupt downshift that the dealer says is common. The car is built well but a bit underpowered for a 6 cylinder.
Gets more hate than it deserves
My Sebring Limited has over 300k km and the only major issues I’ve had is replacing the alternator. I find it to be comfortable and the Gas milage is solid. Speakers are great for stock, and the adjustments ok there dest are more precise than any other cat I’ve owned. I don’t understand the negative rating it receives online when most the Actual comments I see are positive
