I resisted the 2008 and newer, being enamored with the older Sebring convertible body styles (1999 being my favorite). I settled on the 2008 after some online research, and with absolutely no regrets. It rides like a coupe, not a convertible, feels very solid. I love that the top lowers or raises in under 30 seconds with a single push of a button (latching or unlatching automatically) and that I can lower the top from 50 feet away using the key fob (I never have to get into a hot car on a hot day). These are luxuries that would not have come with the 1999 Sebring. This car is my daily driver to the office, a 40 mile round trip over Tennessee backroads, so I really appreciate that I can go top down every day with so little effort. For my purposes the 4 cylinder engine performs admirably. After 5 months of owning this eleven year old Sebring convertible, I am quite pleased. -- update -- Since early 2020 working at home for good, no more commute. Still enjoying and seeing this car not as a collectible or an investment, but as something to drive and enjoy. Not putting many miles on it, but I will sometimes make a 50 mile round trip to Smithville, just to top off the gas tank. Had I known that owning this car could be so inexpensive, I would have purchased it years earlier. Fun and easy to own. --- 2022 update: I can hardly believe I am in my 4th summer with this fun convertible. Bought for just $3800.00 in February 2019, this car keeps paying me back with good times! - update: After four full years, still having a million dollars worth of fun in a four-thousand-dollar car!

I've had my Sebring convertible a year now, and my wife's had hers eleven months. I've done about 10,000 miles and my wife has done about 6,000 miles on hers. We love the way they drive, their fuel economy, their styling and their huge trunk capacity. On a recent long trip, my car with four people in it, plus luggage,with the top down averaged over 31 mpg doing parkway speeds! My wife's car with the six, regularly does 25+ mpg. These cars are sure footed performers both in nice and in nasty weather. They are GREAT cars and we believe they've not received the good credit that they deserve from the professional reviewers and others. I've driven 44+ yrs. and should know!

Love this car:) So fun to drive. Heated seats are wonderful during the winter. Convertible is a blast during the summer. Downside- truck space and backseat are smal.

Surprising quality and performance

This is my third Sebring convertible. I had a 1999 and 2004. I am happy with the build quality, fuel economy and performance so far. I have owned the car for five weeks and have driven about 1800 miles. This is a base car and the 2.4 liter four is close to the Toyota four in smoothness and lack of noise. On a short trip (220 miles) on 2 lane highways with a number of rolling hills (not mountains) I got 27.5 mpg. The city mileage with the AC on is about 20 so far. This is not a fast luxury sporty car, but especially for the money I am very pleased so far.

My wife and I are loyal Chrysler buyers until this vehicle came along. The styling is great and I like the convertible factor. That's where the compliments end. The vehicle is just over 2 years old now and has been in for repairs 12 times! That's an average of once every 2 months. Issues include, brake lights coming on intermittently, starting getting stuck, front- end/steering noise, stuck door locks, stalling, recalls and interior fit issues. I am currently working with Chrysler assistance to get rid of this vehicle as I feel the front-end problems make it unsafe to drive. Also, it is not worth now what is owed according to KBB. Another nice kick in the head.
