2002 Chrysler Sebring Review

Lithe styling, athletic performance, roomy accommodations.
Walkaround
The sleek body of Chrysler's Sebring four-door sedan shows a sedan can look crisp and sporty like a coupe. Its gracefully arched profile features a dramatic rake to the windshield. A broad but stubby nose focuses on Chrysler's signature grille design, which features an exaggerated oval air intake port inset with a shaded egg-crate grille pattern. Headlamps, shielded by polycarbonate lenses, wrap around the front corners, while available round fog lights flank the grille. The Sebring shares some design cues with the beautiful Chrysler Concorde.

Flat side panels flare in rings around the wheel wells to draw attention to the wheels, a design best complemented with the available 16-inch alloys. Blackened center roof pillars above the beltline diminish definitions for doors to mimic the look of a pillar-less coupe.

Curvy back pillars flow down into rolled rear flanks in a smooth transition from roof to body. The tail incorporates a spoiler lip arched over large corner lamps and the thick mass of a monotone bumper.

Our only complaint with the exterior is with the door handles: they can be hard to hang onto, particularly when in a hurry.

Though it shares its name and styling cues with the Sebring coupe, there are key differences: The sedan offers the convenience of four doors to access a spacious cabin and comfortable seats for a family of five. It may come as a surprise that the Sebring sedan and Sebring Coupe are built on two completely different chassis, giving each their own character in terms of ride quality and handling. Next Page
