2006 Chrysler Sebring Touring Convertible

The Chrysler Sebring entered the last year of its first generation in 2006.  By this time, Chrysler's mid-size convertible and sedan, largely based on the discontinued Cirrus, had become the target of much criticism for its antiquated styling.  A new generation would arrive in 2007, with a fresh look, but without the convertible.

Chrysler's Touring finish is a mid-level trim package, applied to both the sedan and convertible models.  On the convertible, the Touring trim includes more features, like a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, and leather seats.  Full power accessories, air conditioning, cruise control, and CD audio system are also standard.

The Touring Convertible is powered by a 2.7 liter DOHC V-6, generating 200 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque.  All Sebring models use a four-speed automatic transmission to route power to the front wheels.  Drivers can expect to average between 25 and 30 mpg on the highway with the V-6.

The convertible Sebring has received better reviews than its sedan counterpart, but many owners warn about leaky roofs after heavy rain.
