Its overall a good car in perfect condition.
My car is a two door vehicle. The guy that I got my off of fixed it up so there is no problems with my car. It gots brand new tires, rotors, breaks, it looks good on the inside and everything else. Its silver in color it's perfect for a little family could be better if it was two door.

I love my car. It gets good gas mileage. Still runs well after all these years.
The body is well made. All the electrical systems still work. The convertible top works with no issues.

2003 Chrysler sebring convertible.
I really love this car. It is a lot of fun to drive. Not so fond of where the battery is located. It is under the wheel well. If it needs to be changed it is a real problem. It has cost me a large amount of money in repairs. Not that it wasn't maintained, it is just not such a good car as far as mechanics. Multiple auto repair shops have told me I should get rid of it. That this year of the sebring wasn't mechanically sound. But I enjoy driving it so I am not going to get rid of it. The convertible top is what makes the car for me. The paint is not wearing so well. It needs to be repainted. It faded and peeled in multiple areas. To me it is worth painting.

It is a sporty convertible.
Reliability I'd say is the biggest downfall of owning a Chrysler Sebring. Since it is a convertible I love it. But mechanical issues are a huge factor in owning this car. There are a lot of electrical problems as well as with suspension, brakes and especially the water pumps in sebrings. Although I do love the style of the car I find it very difficult to maintain it considering all the issues that come with it.

It has to be consistently maintained.
I like that my car is sporty looking and that it is a convertible. My dislikes about my car are that does not handle well in bad weather.

The gas mileage is amazing.
I like the interior, it drives smoothly, and it is reliable. I also love the gas mileage. I dislike that the air conditioning sometimes does not work.

03 Chrysler sebring honest review.
My 03 Chrysler sebring lx runs very well, rides nice, and the interior is more spacious than expected when I purchased it. The only problem with this model of sebring, which I have noticed a lot in my line of work, is that the window control panel for the driver and passenger door caves in, the plastic breaks, or both. Otherwise I do enjoy having it as my daily.

That it gets me to where I need to go.
All my tires are bad. The dash is cracked from the sun. Somebody cracked my windshield. The transmission is going out, and the car is knocking like it has a blown head.

2003 Chrysler Sebring - issues.
I really enjoy the power that my car has. I love the v6 engine, and it really seems to have a lot of "girth". This car has nearly 200, 000 miles on it, and it still going strong! It does have a few problems as far as performance goes, as is to be expected. It lurches forward when accelerating and lunges backward when slowing down frequently. Not sure what the issue is there. I also love the Infiniti sound system in it!

Chrysler Sebring Convertible. Good running car but leaky rear glass.
Convertible glass leaks around seams. Everything else is pretty good. Battery located behind front tire which is inconvenient.

Long lasting reliability and comfort
Transmission lasts for quite some time. Look over the sunroof. Doors are a bit heavy for me personally. Easy to drive and convenient. Love the large trunk with plenty of shopping bag space and also worked out great for road trips and vacations out of town. Safe and reliable

The good news is that I have had it for 3 years.
I have a 2003 Chrysler that needs constant work. Just spent $700 on work done by a certified mechanic. I now have problems with the tire also I was informed that I need bearings for my transmission. . Although the car is very reliable I do not understand why I keep needing work done.

It's good for a single person without kids.
I like that it's a convertible. I like that it's a little car. I like that it's good on gas. I don't like that it's small and not enough room for my kids.

How Reliable Is The 2003 Chrysler Sebring?

It is reliable enough that I continue to use it. Otherwise I would not recommend it. Parts of it break off often and no one seems to be able to fix it.

The biggest problem is it's rusting out all over the doors and fenders. Also the power window switch collapsed inside the door so I had to cut a hole in their to get access to the window switch
