Chrysler Sebring

[tiggerlover]

Does anyone have any experience and/or comments about the Chrysler Sebring? We have found a 2001 two-door V6 for sale and we wondered if anyone had any first hand knowledge.

Thanks.

I had a 1999 sebring convertable, that is until someone decided to run a red light. I can vouch for the safety features of the car
It rode well and got great gas milage. I never had any mechanical problems and I bought another sebring (2000 model)to replace that one. I do think the convert is on a different body ........ but I would expect the sedan to be as well made.

My cousin has had 2 convertables. She loved the first one so much she bought another.

One of DH's friends mother had a big problem with one. They had a pretty bad accident due to a mechanical problem. I know Chrystler settled a lawsuit with them but they don't really discuss the details. I don't know what year the car was but I'm pretty sure it was a sedan not a convertable. For some reason I also think it was a rental car, not one they owned.

The only think I don't like about it is the seatbelts ( and this applies to all Chrystler vehicles) they used to use Gen 3 seatbelts which have safety concerns and they also use lightweight latchplates so if you need may a locking clip to install a car seat.

How big is the trunk space, i was wondering how many suitcases you can get in it.

..we hired one for a week in June, and just managed to force two medium hard-shell cases in the trunk, but only because me and my mate are both over 220 pounds! And they didn't lie straight, so there was limited space to pack other bags around them ..having said that, I liked the car very much and want to get one again next year, although with the two kids and my dw as co-passengers, we're looking to buy some soft travel bags instead of the cases.

An associate in my office had one, he said never again. I know it was in the shop a lot.

I bought a 2002 convertible in 2003. My local dealer aquired it from a FL rental company with 15K miles on it.I've had no major or unusual problems...and I LOVE the service at my lcoal dealer.

Trunk space is limited in the convertible....but I can still fit a week's groceries, or my mom's folding travel wheelchair...but not both
