About the Chrysler Sebring
|
The Chrysler Sebring was completely redesigned and introduced as a four-door sedan for the 2007 model year, then a two-door convertible was added in mid-2007 as a 2008 model. The midsize, front-wheel-drive Chrysler Sebring competes with the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and Saturn Aura, among others. The availability of a retractable hardtop convertible distinguishes the Sebring lineup from its popular competitors. The Sebring convertible offers a choice of vinyl or cloth soft tops or the retractable hard top.Click here to read more

EXPERT REVIEWS & RATINGS

Quick Drive: 2008 Chrysler Sebring Limited AWD
Fails to make a compelling case for itself in light of the competition MyGig entertainment system, Boston Acoustics stereo, cooled/heated cupholder Dysfunctional powertrain, poor fuel economy, pricey |

Newcomers: 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
The convertible uses the sedan's engines and transmissions: a 173-horsepower four-cylinder and a 2.7-liter, 189-horse V-6, both backed by a four-speed automatic or a 3.5-liter V-6 with a six-speed automatic. The four-cylinder is coarse and doesn't have enough gusto to get this 3750-pound car going with any alacrity. The 3.5-liter combined with the six-speed is the most entertaining. Off-the-line acceleration is smooth and shifts are quick, but neither the Sebring's steering nor handling is going to make BMW shake in its boots. Yes, the Sebring convertible is still going to be a strong rental candidate, but that's not entirely a bad thing. The new model looks better, offers more power and interior amenities, and now has a retractable hard top, making it more competitive with the G6 and Eos, among others. It may not be a sports car, but it'll make a lot of people happy while they're on vacation. |

2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
The folding steel top will make the Sebring the lowest priced convertible to offer a solid roof. The car isn't exactly beautiful, but it is an improvement over the sedan. The proportions are less awkward and the car thankfully has a cleaner, less cluttered appearance. Engine choices match those found in the sedan as does most of the interior, including the dashboard. Noteworthy items on the options list are the key-fob operation for the power top, the MyGig hard-drive stereo system that can store up to twenty gigs of data, music, and photos, and a heated and cooled cupholder. |

2008 Chrysler Sebring Review
The 2008 Chrysler Sebring comes in four-door sedan and two-door convertible versions with a four-cylinder and two V6s. The soft tops are nice, and the available retractable hardtop is intriguing. Styling, fit and finish and ride quality make a strong statement about Chrysler's commitment to character and quality. The Sebring measures up well in terms of materials quality, available technology, and interior room and comfort. Handling, power, and fuel economy are not its strongest assets.
