2003 Chrysler Sebring Review

Airy, comfortable, and pleasant.
Walkaround
Sleek, attractive designs enhance the Sebring sedan, coupe, and convertible. While all three look like they belong to the same family, distinctions give each its own personality. Sedan, convertible and coupe each present a gracefully arched profile with a dramatically raked windshield.

New styling gives the Chrysler Sebring coupe a fresh appearance for 2003. Appropriately enough, the coupe looks more aggressive than the sedan and convertible. A new hood and trunk lid design add to the bold looks of the coupe. A new grille features the Chrysler winged badge, complemented with a new fog lamp design. For 2003, Chrysler redesigned the coupe's front and rear fascias, headlamps, taillamps, and side sill moldings.

The coupe shares little in common with the sedan and convertible. It is built in a joint-venture assembly plant in Illinois alongside the Mitsubishi Eclipse and Dodge Stratus coupes, and shares their engines, chassis, and suspension designs. The Sebring sedan and convertible share components and roll out of a Chrysler assembly plant in Sterling Heights, Michigan.

Sedans and convertibles feature a broad, stubby nose highlighted by Chrysler's signature grille design, a big, oval intake 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. Blackened center roof pillars on the four-door sedan give it the look of a two-door coupe. The roofline flows in a smooth transition from roof to body. The decklid incorporates a spoiler lip arched over large taillamps and thick monotone bumper.

We found the door handles can be hard to hang onto, particularly when in a hurry. Also, the coupe's mirrors are small. Next Page
