Price Paid:  $24000.00 from Chrysler Dealership

2004 Sebring Lxi Convertible

Summary:
A great car. We bought it because we needed a convertible that seated four and had a useable back seat. We considered BMW, Volvo, Toyota, Ford and Volkswagon, and went with Chrysler despite some concerns about historical reliability. We have been completely pleased with the product so far, and we were glad to see the most recent JD Powers ratings that put Chrysler ahead of Mercedes! We had no delivery flaws, other than a scratch in the paint inside the trunk. This car makes every drive a mini-vacation.

Strengths:
Hey, its a convertible. Its comfortable, even in the back seat. The sound system is good, performance is solid, it looks great, and compared to those poor slobs in BMW 325ci's, I saved $15K.

Weaknesses:
It's tough to think of any. I would like a seperate compressor button for the air conditioning. The lever to move the seats back and forth could be more solid. Also, why do they put the owners manual in a plastic folder? At least Ford give you a zippered book cover.

2004 Sebring 2,7 Limited Convertible

Summary:
Love it. Had a 1999/Cirrus and a 2001/Sebring sedan, but this one beats them both. Havent had too much time with top down, but its just as roomy inside as the sedan. It is a cruiser, and just by the looks of it, cruising is what it was made for. Once you pass 120 km/t its not pleasant driving with or without the top, way too much windnoise. Plenty of horsepower to speed if you want to, I did 210 km/t on the Autobahn in Germany, with no problems at all, it was still a nice car to handle. But I would save the horses for passing at lesser speeds. I have been in Merc´s, Audi´s and a Mustang Cabriolets and this Cab beats them all, in roominess, soundsystem and looks. Otherwise every car has its strongpoint.

Strengths:
Value for Money Roomy, compared to other cabs. Innovative design. Excellent Soundsystem. Good handling.

Weaknesses:
Few accessories. Not easy to find costumparts. Windnoise ( ITS A CONVERTIBLE )

2004 chrysler sebring convertible LXI

Summary:
Awesome Car!! I just turned 21 and i own a new convertible!! Does it actually get any better?!? Nothing better than putting the top down on a hot day. This car is very luzurious. I bought it used with 16k miles on it. i extended the warranty to 100k miles instead of only 36k miles after reading the reviews just to be safe. I love to be able to pass very quickly, but the tranny seems to hesitate just a bit. Of course because it is a convertible the wind noise is quite intense, but it's to be expected.

Strengths:
2.7 liter engine, looks, luxury, price (if you buy it used of the current year, this is the best time to buy this car to get your best money value),

Weaknesses:
hesitant tranny, windows seem to be shaky (taking it in to have the dealer look at it)

2003 Convertible LXi

Summary:
I purchased a 2003 Sebring Convertible LXi in May and I love it! I knew having a convertible in California in the summer would be fun, and it is sure is! But what really surprised me was how luxurious my car is. The drive is so smooth, the engine is so quiet, and I have as much power as I'd ever need. The leather interior is super nice and very comfortable. I really like the '03 model compared to the 04 model because of the "roadster" looking front grill and cooler-looking rims. This car rocks!

Strengths:
Power, looks, luxury

Weaknesses:
Power windows can get shaky when dirty

Price Paid:  $23500.00 from Koon's Tysons Corner

Summary:
I have had my 2003 Chrysler Sebring Convertible for nearly 3 months. I love it! After looking at all the convertibles on the market, this was the best choice for me. I was very disappointed that Volkswagon stopped making the Cabriolet and replaced it with the Beetle convertible. This car is very roomy, and the ride is smooth.

Strengths:
Smooth ride, great brakes, comes Sirus satellite radio ready, electric top

Weaknesses:
None so far
