Chrysler Sebring: From Mediocre to None

The first Sebring came out in 1995 as a midsize coupe. The Sebring shared the same underpinnings with its cousin, the Mitsubishi Galant. For the LX and LXi trim, you got a 163-hp, 2/5 liter engine with a four speed automatic transmission. At the time, the vehicle’s best attributes were its sporty and purposeful exterior styling and roomy (for a coupe) interior. The steeply lined windshield didn’t compromise headroom, and there was also plenty of space in the trunk. If you wanted to put the top down, then you certainly needed a windscreen.

Chrysler demonstrated to the world back in 2001 a new Sebring sedan, with updated engines and transmissions underneath. Just like the previous generation, the platform was shared with Mitsubishi. At the top of the heap was a 3/0-liter V6 cranking out 200 hp. It was initially available only in the LXi Coupe. A standard in convertibles (and LXi Sedans) was the impressive 2/7 liter, V6 thumping engine. A smaller, four banger 2/4 liter engine was also available. The Sebring earned high grades for its body lines, its power train reliability, and the number of options offered to buyers.

The Sebring was prolific with offering different trim levels: the LX, LXi, GTC, TSi, and Touring trim models. The regular Sebring stopped in 2005; the convertible in 2006. For the convertible owners, a good purchase is a windscreen.

The second generation was becoming more and more stale as time went on. The Sebring was about as pleasant as a school bus to ride in with its unforgiving chassis. Those is in the used Sebring market should consider most of all, the late 90’s and the early 2000s  Despite the Sebring’s drawbacks, one will still be pleased with this car.  The Sebring will always have a fond place in car driver’s hearts.
