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.
