This has been my first car, and I was impressed to start with by the amount of features it had included in the car. That's the sort of thing you shouldn't really be won over by, but I liked it. The Chrysler Sebring looks a bit like maybe a Honda Accord or something, not really sure, but it's pretty much a regular looking saloon. It does turn a few heads but mine isn't a sexy colour or anything.
It's got lots of space inside, I mean really lots. I often take me and three mates to play golf and it gets all our stuff in the boot, which is impressive for a car that on the outside looks reasonably compact.
It was cheap to buy as well, which my dad said might result in higher repair bills because maybe people know something I don't about the Chrysler Sebring, and it's unpopular as a result. I took a dive with in the end and it seems to have paid off because I haven't had any major problems to speak of really, apart from normal consumables. The biggest cost is petrol, it doesn't get great mileage really, I'd say high 20s, which would be worse if I actually did more driving, but it's fine for going round town. Plus most of my mileage is covered by work anyway.
I don't do much time on the motorways, but it's worth pointing out that when I am on the open road it's not the best experience. Bit noisy, steering doesn't always feel like it's fully in control either. The blind spots on the Chrysler Sebring are a little bit tricky too as the visibility out of the back of the car isn't so great.
Other problems are that it's shaky on bumpier roads, but that isn't something I encounter too much. It's good for its space and reliability, but the petrol costs might be a problem if my travel plans change.
I bought my Chrysler Sebring because I wanted a family car that made me look respectable. And it really does look pretty great - powerful and intimidating, like a Mercedes but with more of a 'Wall Street' feel about it. Unfortunately looks are about all that the Sebring has going for it.
I bought the entry-level (cheapest) model, which is a 2.0l engine that puts out about 150bhp. This sounds pretty good on paper but in reality it really seems to struggle to get up to any decent sort of speed. The list price is surprisingly low, though, considering how expensive it looks. This is the main thing for me, though - speed. I really expected something more powerful.
Along with shoddy handling, and pretty poor fuel consumption, I would say that the Chrysler Sebring is a disappointing drive. However, if you're not really concerned with these things then you might well find that the Chrysler Sebring is up your street - it is well built, and looks beautiful, after all.
