Nonetheless, style is the name of the game in the personal coupe segment, and the Sebring has gobs of it. However, we would be hard-pressed to give up the Thunderbird's optional V8 or the Grand Prix 3.8-liter V6 for this pretty face from Chrysler. At just over $21,000 for a well-equipped LXi, the Sebring competes very well against the Ford Thunderbird, Pontiac Grand Prix, and mid-size coupes from Japan.
In addition to the new front and rear treatments, both the LX and LXi receive more standard equipment resulting in an increased level of interior luxury. Option packages let you trim the LX out to base LXi standards.Īpparently Chrysler wants to move the Sebring up-market. Although the four-banger, when equipped with a five-speed, is the quicker car, we prefer the smoothness of the Mitsubishi powerplant. Alloy wheels shod with bigger tires, and four-wheel disc brakes with antilock are also standard fare on the top-level Sebring. The LXi adds a 168-horse Mitsubishi V6 and a mandatory automatic transmission. The LX is powered by a 140-horsepower version of the 2.0-liter four found in the Neon. Two kinds of Sebring are available LX or LXi. The fact that the Sebring is built in the same Illinois assembly plant as these models bodes well for long-term reliability. Underneath the sheetmetal, you'll find the underpinnings of a Mitsubishi Galant, and the dashboard of the Mitsubishi Eclipse/Eagle Talon twins. Huge fog lights lend the sophisticated coupe an aggressive look, and tastefully restrained rear styling exudes class. This sports coupe carries four occupants in comfort, with reasonable performance abilities and suave good looks.Īside from the goofy grille, we can't fault Chrysler's stylists on the Sebring. I do not know of another car with the comfort, style, reliability and fun factor of the 2000 Chrysler Sebring Convertible 2.5.After two short years of production, Chrysler improves its already attractive Chrysler Sebring. "I would not sell her for 10 grand" They just don't make them like this any more. oh did I mention that this car is FAST.I was offered 6 grand for her yesterday at the super market. The only complain I have is it would be nice to have bigger cup holders. it has the original canvas top which still looks great but will have to replace the back glass as it is slipping due to the glue no longer sticking after 21 years. The 21 year old interior is like new, no fading and no loosening of the leather, the dash has no cracks. The design of this car is almost Italian looking with its curves (just beautiful) I get complements on her EVERY day. I average 28 mpg, not bad for a 21 year old car. Cruse control on steering wheel and works wonderful which I use daily because it is so easy to speed in this car and not no it. took it up to 90 MPH and it was as if I was driving 35, so smooth, breaks on a dime. Drives wonderful, handles curves and bumps in roads easily. Factory sound system sounds clean and crisp. Garage floor is clean so there are zero leaks. The convertible top does NOT block your view in any way as most other convertibles do.

Very comfortable even for long distance driving as it is very roomy inside for not only the driver but front AND backseat passengers. Figured I'd resale it when I got home BUT, WOW I fell in LOVE with this car. (the 2.7 engine is the "sludge engine") I bought this car JUST to get home when i was stranded.
