A Convertible To Watch. — Despite all the criticism of Chrysler for its products, I found this car to be totally enjoyable. I owned it 9 years and it cost me no more than average. It was for me, comfortable, easy to drive and fairly good performance with the 6. It had good acceleration for highways and passing. The steering was responsive but then I don't necessarily drive like NASCAR. I got avg, 30-32 on highway. The driver's window had a slight leak in a heavy downpour. since it was a convertible, it had the usual noises and body movement but less than some other convertibles. I think it is one of Chrysler's better looking products. It was sleek and had great proporations. This was a great vacation car since it had a very usable, good size trunk. And we really did load it down on trips. I reached a point where at 100+k miles it was begiining to needs things and I couldn't justify spending that much money (still had original exhaust and timing belt, the roof was going to need to be repaired or replaced, due for breaks, etc.) If there was one thing with which I had a big complaint is the a/c developed problems the last couple of years and became a nuisance.

It's A Convertible And....... — This car lives on its convertible gimmick. Other than being a fairly affordable convertible this little else to add. Oh it's reliable and the maitenance costs are fairly low and it has a nice sound system but besides that its disappointing. The engine lacks power especially throughout the mid and high range of the tachometer. Handling is numb at best with no real road feel transmitted. The car suffers over moderate bumps and in potholes as the convertible top is far from rigid. The automatic transmission is slow with slow downshifts and even later upshifts. Fuel economy, particularily in stop and go driving, is not impressive with little in the way of performance to show for it. Its styling is bland lacking any distinctive trademark or feature. Not a driver's car. | ||

1999 Chrysler Sebring Convertable — I LOVED THIS CAR! The day I drove it home it was October in GA. It was about 50 degrees out but I drove it home with the top down. At a stop light, another convertable pulled up next to me - looked at me and shook his head. He rolled down his window and said, 'How long you had your car?' and I let him know I just got it... he laughed and as the light turned green we both drove off laughing... I saw him a few weeks later - this time with colder weather, and my top was up... he noticed me and rolled down the windows and said, 'A little too cold for it to be down today, uh?' it was funny... For a few years we'd see each other in traffic and wave... She recently blew a head gasket and the lower end... she's rolled her last mile. It saddens me to even see another Sebring on the road - I will miss her but... her replacement is on her way and it's supposed to be a beautiful weekend! | ||

A So-so Car — I loved driving it in the Summer time and when it was nice out. I did have to replace and fix so many things on it. I didn't have that many miles on it either. I had to replace the brakes, but that is understandable. I was then told that my engine wasn't bolted in right. It was missing a few bolts. I don't know how it stayed in the car, but it did. When I was driving down the highway, my car shifted into Neutral for some reason. I had an automatic. It ended up costing me nearly what I paid for the damn thing, so I traded it in.

Prosgot a great deal on this car and it beats walking. Consmakes this strange noise no one can figure out. Brought to the dealership and they couldn't figure it out. My brother-in law had it pulled apart and couldn't figure it out either.

Car Is Great Other Then The Mystery Noise — So far it seems to be a good car. She needs some repairs, new drop top(it leaks like crazy). It gets better gas mileage then I thought it would get. It has great heat, living in MI you really need that. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

Good Looker For Everyday Commuting. — Well my 99 ended up being the 3rd car. So now its a nice weather, top down vehicle or an emergency vehicle for friends in need. Buying my Nitro in 2008 the dealer offered me $950 for it, I had just put $500 in tires on it a month earlier so that was a no brainer. For being 12-13 years old this model Sebring still has nice lines in todays market . I have had my share of minor repairs on this car but being handy with tools, there hasn't been any jobs I couldnt conquer in a couple hours. The 2.5l does have a poor design of having to remove the intake manifold to change the hidden spark plugs. Note: Change the coil wires while you have the manifold off. I also have changed the crank sensor, Egr valve and have had to hand stitch some of the seams on the fabric top. Seems since there isn't a flaw in the fabric they could have used a stronger thread. Oh well, no sense in a $500 dollar top, bought a heavy duty needle and some gortex thread from Joann fabrics and it's perfect. With 115,000 miles on it it's just as much fun to drive now as it was the day we pulled out of the lot. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

Chrysler Sebring — Good car for city cruising but engine could be replaced. Acceleration is ok, braking in good, handiling is ok. Only $1,000. Good car for driving. Ok build quality. Appearence are both good with leather interior. Gas mileage is very good. Maintenance is ok but hard to get stuff under car becuase its so low. | ||

Country Roads — Great fun on the wind-y country roads to work. Gotta take the top down more often though. Love the golden silver color and new rag top we had to get when Kelly/Ed and I broke the back window coming home from his mission. Still like the Vette better though. |
