The revamped Chrysler Sebring Convertible was the first Sebring model introduced for the 2008 model year, and it incorporates styling changes that were introduced with the 2007 Sebring hardtop. New exterior design elements included a grooved hood with six long lines that stretch from the front end to the windshield and upsloped side lines that give the Sebring a more aggressive yet contemporary appearance. The 2008 Sebring Convertible also featured an updated front grille and new wheels.
But the biggest news for the 2008 Sebring Convertible was the addition of an optional retractable hardtop, the first in the car's history. The hardtop raises and lowers at the touch of a button (located on the instrument panel and the key fob) and stores compactly in the trunk. The Sebring Convertible is also available with power-retractable softtops of cloth or vinyl.
Another new option is the available back-seat windscreen, which helps reduce turbulence for front-seat passengers. When not in use, the windscreen stores in the trunk.
Like the hardtop model, the Sebring Convertible comes in three trim levels. The Base version has a 2.4-liter double-overhead-cam, dual variable-valve timing (DVVT) inline four cylinder that produces 173 horsepower. Stepping up a notch, the Touring trim package includes a 2.7-liter double-overhead-cam flexible-fuel V6 that pumps out 189 horsepower. At the top of the line is the Limited model, with a 3.5-liter single-overhead-cam V6 that produces 235 horsepower.
The Base and Touring packages come with a standard four-speed automatic transmission, while the Limited is equipped with a six-speed AutoStick automatic transmission.
All models feature six-way power-adjustable front seats, power rack-and-pinion steering, air conditioning, power door locks, a keyless entry system, and an AM/FM stereo system with an in-dash six-disc DVD/MP3 player.
Among the Sebring Convertible's many options are a MyGIG Multimedia Infotainment System with Sirius satellite radio and GPS navigation, heated front seats, and heated and cooled cupholders.
What owners say
"Overall, reviews for the 2008 Chrysler Sebring are a mix of admiration and disappointment. Many owners appreciate the car's stylish design, comfort, and smooth ride. They also highlight its great sound system and convertible features. However, several drivers express frustration with performance issues, including poor gas mileage and drivetrain problems. While some enjoy the car's appearance and fun driving experience, others feel it's underpowered and not reliable enough, particularly for long-term ownership."
I love everything about this car. I've owned a lot of cars but this is my favorite by far !! The power is adequate, the look is spectacular, the my gig is far above any other radio in its class. What more could you want ?
February 25, 2015The color is perfect, the seats are very comfortable and the radio is great! It drives very smooth! I love everything about this style/make and how it looks, and I really love the reliability of the car the most! Overall it is the best car I own right now.
April 14, 2015Great clean aspect to rag top when it stores in trunk. Unfortunately, that feature limits cargo storage space. Trunk lid is a little high preventing clear vision when backing up. Battery compartment requires removal of front left tire .. a little inconvenient.

December 26, 2014loved it --leather - smooth ride beautiful convertible top and 6 cd disc changer with remote -(custom option) -- affordably priced...
January 21, 2008The Sebring has a smooth ride, looks great, and thus far has been without defect. I think that there is a prejudice among auto writes against the Chrysler name plate, but if they can continue to produce fine vehicles they can overcome it.
June 25, 2009I had a 2005 Sebring Convertible Touring and it was underpowered so I looked for a 2008 soft top Limited model (I am a purist and do not like the hard top). Once I found and bought the car, I could not believer that it was a Sebring. It looks great, has a quick 3.5 liter engine and an amazing 6 speed automatic. Also thrown was electronic stability control and positraction so that all of it together yielded an awesome car for the money. It is a true boulevard car that now holds the road and is fast. It is not a Bimmer, so those who want one would be disappointed. All in all for about $36,000, I got a sensational car with all of the bells and whistles and one that can get out of its way too. I love the soft top as it folds like the hard top. With the top up , the trunk is enormous.
July 20, 2007Looked great, sounded great! Taking the top of daily was my thing in 2012. did so over 200 days. If it was cold or hot, I droped the top. Having my music on was the 2nd best thing of the car. It had great sound!
April 2, 2013Love my Sebring convertible. Second one Ive owned. I upgraded from 2005 to 2008. Wish it had seat warmer but it didnt come with one
January 25, 2023Excellent value. The convertible is a 2008 but looks brand new...and low miles!..just 37k miles!
December 4, 2021A solid functional convertible car. Great design and easy to use top
