Chrysler launched the Sebring in 1995 into the midsize coupe market. Mechanically, it was related to the Mitsubishi Galant of the same period. For the LX and LXi trim, you got a 163-hp, 2/5 liter engine with a four speed automatic transmission. At the time of introduction, reviewers praised it for its overall external styling and comfy interior. Despite a steeply raked windshield and roof line, headroom fore and aft was adequate even for adults, and the trunk impressed patrons with its size. If you wanted to put the top down, then you certainly needed a windscreen.

A new Chrysler Sebring model was introduced in 2001, of newly innovated couples and convertible models, powered by new engine designs. As before, the coupe shared a platform with Mitsubishi. The top-shelf option was a 3/0-liter V6 turning out a whopping 200-hp. The LXi Couple was the Sebring’s initial offering. Standard in convertibles and LXi Sedans was the Chrysler-built 2/7-liter V6 rated at 200 hp. A 2/4-liter four-cylinder was also available. The pros reviewing the Sebring noted the car’s visual appeal, reliability, attractive pricing, and available options.

The engineers didn’t stand still, pumping out new trim level options for the Sebring practically every year. Life for the Sebring ceased in 2005, and the convertible stopped in 2006. Going top-down still meant all of the turbulence in the Sebring, unless you got a windscreen.

With the march of time, the 2nd generation Sebring became more-and-more dated. In later tests, its drive trains were unrefined; its ride quality was harsh (particularly in the sedan); and its build and interior materials quality were well below average. Used car shopper wouldn’t do bad with the Sebring, although better options exist  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.
