Chrysler launched the Sebring in 1995 into the midsize coupe market. Underneath, the Sebring was related to the Mitsubishi Galant. Along with the LX and LXi coupes, they were propelled with a 163-hp, 2/5 liter engine, mated to a four speed automatic transmission. When reviewers got ahold of the car, they quickly praised it for its looks and ample interior. The headroom in the Sebring was surprisingly roomy, given its steeply angled windshield. Going top down, then you’d better obtain a windscreen.

Chrysler demonstrated to the world back in 2001 a new Sebring sedan, with updated engines and transmissions underneath. Just like the previous generation, the platform was shared with Mitsubishi. For those lusting for power, their selection was a 3/0-liter V6 engine, delivering 200-hp. It was initially available only in the LXi Coupe. Standard in convertibles and LXi Sedans was the Chrysler-built 2/7-liter V6 rated at 200 hp. A 2/4-liter four-cylinder was also available. The Sebring was given high marks for its external looks, engine reliability, and consumer options.

Minor updates followed in successive years, and Chrysler shuffled the trim levels on a nearly annual basis: The familiar Sebring LX and LXi models ultimately gave way to GTC, TSi, Touring and Limited trim levels. Life for the Sebring ceased in 2005, and the convertible stopped in 2006. For the convertible owners, a good purchase is a windscreen.

With the march of time, the 2nd generation Sebring became more-and-more dated. In later tests, its drive trains were unrefined; its ride quality was harsh (particularly in the sedan); and its build and interior materials quality were well below average. Those is in the used Sebring market should consider most of all, the late 90′s and the early 2000s  Despite the Sebring’s drawbacks, one will still be pleased with this car.  The Sebring will always have a fond place in car driver’s hearts.
