2004 Chrysler Sebring Review
Three body styles, all roomy and affordable.
2004 Sebring Review Summary & Specifications
The Chrysler Sebring line comes in three body styles. The sedan offers a spacious and comfortable passenger compartment wrapped in a sleek, sporty skin. It offers value when compared with mid-size import sedans. The coupe manages to fit a spacious passenger compartment inside the sensuous lines of a two-door. The convertible works well for people who don't want to be cramped in a sports car, but want to feel the wind in their hair and look good. Unlike most convertibles, the Sebring offers a roomy, comfortable interior. It's stylish and fun, but won't break the bank. If it does, drop the top and whisk those cares away.
