It is a great car. It runs very great. And it also have a very great style.

It is a very great car in general. I have had a few problems with it, but other than that it runs great. I have taken long trips in my car. Everything is underneath the car though. It is hard to get to the battery. You have to take the whole entire driver side tire off in the front, and then take off the side paneling just to get to the battery.

Sebring benefits and style.

It is very reliable and gets good gas mileage as well as being stylish. It comes in a variety of colors. It has the latest features including built in GPS. It also comes with setup for no hands for your cell phone. It comes equipped with satellite radio.

The rusting Chrysler Sebring Convertible

The Sebring Convertible is rusting. The convertible top needs to be replaced and I had to glue the back window down because the fabric from the convertible top became loose. Also when it rains it drips in the vehicle. All the seals need to be replaced. The engine works great. It's just cosmetic repairs and old age.

My cars a v6 so it's amazing on gas and I can put 20 in and it will last a week.

I love my car I have had it a year and never had a problem with it. It runs like a champ and the heat is killer. You turn the car on and in less then 10 minutes its warmed up and ready to go. My fabric seats are the best as well I love my car. Highly recommend it to everyone.

Tejai M

It doesn't take that much gas to fill up, it's a 6 cylinder engine, it's a 2 door, but with 4 seats.

I like that my car is a convertible, I like the features in my car such as the 6 discs CD changer, and I like the sporty look my car has.

Sandie W

Love my Chrysler Sebring convertible.

Love the sporty convertible. Great, smooth ride for a front wheel drive. Only problem is, I am getting older, 68, and this car is low to ground. Getting harder for my hubby and I to get in and out of. Otherwise, great vehicle. I hope to have her for many more years, she is just about to turn 100, 000 miles!

Alison P

That it is a dependable car.

I love it because it is incredibly reliable. It's comfortable and dependable.

Elise P

Tons of fun. Reliable and gets attention wherever I go.

It is great! Lots of fun, looks good, reliable. Over 162, 000 miles on it and going strong. Lots of room for passengers and trunk space.

Negative Owner Reviews

Raymond M

Suspension sucks on the Chrysler sebring.

The suspension is not good and makes for a rough ride. It's got a nice radio in it, but it's not the factory one so that's probably why. I can't think of any other major problems or anything that's exceptionally great about it either. It gets me where I need to go.

Frances W

Our car is a convertible and that is the best part about it.

The car is a convertible and the back window of the rag top is missing and has been replace with plastic. This plastic rattles when the car is on the road. Also the radio does not work. And the air conditioner does not work. The trunk is missing the cover over the spare tire and when one puts groceries in the trunk they have to go on top of the spare tire.

Rachelle S

It doesn't handle turns very well. You have to go really slow when turning.

I like that it runs. I do not like how short the inside is. It makes it hard for taller people to sit in the car. The steering wheel is also not great.

Ruth K

Still runs. Dependable so far. Just needed standard old car replacement stuff.

Replaced battery, alternator, o2 sensor,windshield wiper motor, and have been driving for months with the engine light on. CD player quit working, panel for window control on the drivers door fell off. It was not too bad when I bought it 2 years ago. It just started falling apart.

Amy M

There are a lot of maintenance issues with this car.

There are a lot of maintenance issues with this car. I like being able to take the top down when it's not too hot or cold outside. It's not a great family car.

katherine c

It is not all that mechanically sound. It is always needing some sort of repair and it bucks when you drive it.

I love that it is a convertible. Since I bought it, it has had one problem after the other. It does not drive smooth and the top does not always go back up without a problem

Joanne C

It runs good. We have had a lot of work done to it, replaced wheel bearings.

It is getting old and needs work, driver side window will not roll down. It runs good though. It has a big dent on passenger side that we cannot afFord to get fixed.

Jami V

My car still works somewhat.

I like that it runs. I do not appreciate that it keeps breaking and I will need a new one eventually soon.

Joanne B on March 31, 2021

Good, reliable, comfortable transportation.

I really enjoy my car. It is a comfortable size for seating & maneuverability. The trunk does not look that large from the outside, but it can hold an amazing amount of "stuff. " It is pretty reliable, & only in the past couple of years has it had problems that were on the expensive side. It does not have a lot of bells & whistles, but it has met my needs very well.

Gisel T on March 30, 2021

Jade satin Chrysler Sebring.

I enjoy how durable this specific car is, especially because it is lasted since 2005 and still runs today. It rides smooth, has great gas mileage, and looks sleek. There's just no AUX cable port, but that is a minor personal issue; the point is, it is a wonderful car for commuters.

Pros from Owners

Kendra C.

The cars a Convertible, and it's good on gas drives easy it's also a manual transmission and the chicks dig it wouldn't trade this car for brand new one ever my homie David gave it to me when he went to jail.

Amanda L.

Great for family trips, safe to drive on any terrain, easy to drive, low to the ground so I feel safer and very roomy. Great air conditioning and heating. Seats are very comfortable. Compatible with any car seats we've tried. Lots of trunk space.

Cons from Owners

Kendra C.

The passenger side window is busted out and the back glass is also gone out if the car it needs a radiator and someone stole the key so we had to bypass it to make it start without a key so now anything he can just take the car.

Amanda L.

It is low to the ground so sometimes it is hard to get a car seat in and out of the car. The back middle seat goes inward a little so the car seat base overhangs, which is disappointing because the middle is the safest spot for the car seat. Although, it does not overhang too much to not be compatible.
