Not worth the hassle

I had wanted a convertible for a long time! Found this one used and it only had 50,000 miles. Sold my suv and bought it. I had only had it a few days when things started falling apart. It was the a/c compressor, then the brake system, then started leaking antifreeze, the the oil sender leaking, then this and that...etc!!! I could not afford all the repairs. I have had vehicles with 200,000 miles that gave less trouble than this thing! I have had good luck with Chryslers in the past but I will think twice before I buy another. Biggest lemon I have had since I owned a Chevette!

Started Early To Fall Apart

Car was given to me by my parents with 33,000 miles on it and I kept it for 2 years, selling it at 54,000 miles. It had a smooth ride, except the auto trans made some jerky shifts when I turned a corner, which was a major concern. The driver's door window stopped working at 40,000 and the driver's side visor cracked. The driver's door power lock stopped working at 45,000 and so did the two low speeds on the a/c fan. Only had off and high speed blast. Got rid of the vehicle before anything else broke......

A convertible for four adults

I wanted a convertible, having previously owned two. But with three near-teens, I needed a car with rear legroom. Other Amercian convertibles simply don't have the rear legroom of a five-year-old Chrysler Sebring. Comfortable, well-equipped, very affordably priced, powerful enough with the 2.7 V6, and gets 30 MPG driving to work!

Love the Ride in a Sebring Convertible

My Wife and I purchased our first used Chrysler Sebring Convertible over 4 years ago, and decided that we really liked that model and have since bought 2 more. For a month we had 3 of these licensed and insured until we recently SOLD the oldest of the group. Since 2006 is the last year for this design we are now positioned for a while enjoying both of our '06 Sebrings.

Buy American!

All within two yrs of purchase: -Corroded headlamp wire needed to be replaced -Replaced stereo, since it would totally shut off (blank screen) -Horn would stick (was threatened twice - those road-ragers!!) -Had to replace struts at 70,000 miles (I have a friend with a Grand Am with 175,000 no issues, another who traded in his van with 155,000 and they were just going. Auto shop thought there should have been a recall)

Lots of Fun!

We love this car. It handles great, sporty and reliable. The top lowers at the push of a button, and goes up so easily too. The rear window is real glass! Lots of fun to drive! The trunk is small though, wish it was bigger, but overall, a great car!

Some Good Some Bad

I have owned an 06 sebring touring since April 2007. Very reliable and very few problems for first 2 1/2 years. Then water pump went bad and was told this was due to the Dexcoool antifreeze that was used for the car. Furthermore, the waterpump was strangly positioned under the car which made removing and replacing it 6 hours worth of labor. After researching I found out that Chrysler had been sued because of it's use of Dexcool antifreeze, but since it declared bankruptcy I couldn't claim any of the settlement. Now I will say that I've never broken down and overall my repair bill has been moderate, but this particular experience left a bad taste in my mouth.

love the sebring convertible

I had a 98 for 12 years. It was a great car, many compliments on the car. Normal wear and tear at the end somethings started to go. I had 120K on it. I bought an 06 CPO Limited and got it for a great price and just love how the car drives and handles. The first one was a JX. I would buy another one like I did. When the top is down the car is a prize. Marty

Great first or second vehicle.

I love driving this car. I live in PA and garage mine during winter months, but I see many of them on the road year round. I have always wanted a convertible and this is my first. I shopped for 18 months to find the one I wanted and I am glad I didn't get impatient and settle for another make or model. There is nothing like the feeling of driving with the top down on a warm spring / summer day. My pre teen kids fit comfortably in the backseat and I have plenty of leg room up front. I am so glad I bought this vehicle.

Reliable in Cold Weather

I LOVE my Sebring. Dakota winters are harsh and my car starts even when it is -40. So any car that is that reliable is a win.
