1996 Sebring Review Summary & Specifications

As practical, comfortable and stylish coupes, the Sebring and Avenger have few peers.

They are well-equipped, competitively priced and easy to live with. For many buyers

they might be a fine substitute for a compact sedan.

The emotions that drive sport coupe purchases are harder to quantify, but the Sebring

seems to fall short here, at least in our view. It's more a passenger's car than a

driving machine, regardless of which engine's under the hood. A manual transmission

for the V6 engine would modify this impression substantially, but that's an investment

Chrysler is unwilling, at this point, to make.
