The first Sebring came out in 1995 as a midsize coupe. The Sebring shared the same underpinnings with its cousin, the Mitsubishi Galant. Available in LX or LXi trim, the Sebring coupe came with a 163-hp, 2/5-liter V6 and a standard four-speed automatic. When reviewers got ahold of the car, they quickly praised it for its looks and ample interior. Despite a steeply raked windshield and roof line, headroom fore and aft was adequate even for adults, and the trunk impressed patrons with its size. 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. The top-shelf option was a 3/0-liter V6 turning out a whopping 200-hp. The Sebring was initially available by the LXi Coupe. A standard in convertibles (and LXi Sedans) was the impressive 2/7 liter, V6 thumping engine. A smaller engine with four cylinders of 2/4 liter was another option. Early reviews praised the Sebring for its good looks, solid performance, competitive pricing and wide range of body styles.
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. Note that the Sebring coupe was discontinued after the 2005 model year, while the Sebring convertible and sedan continued through 2006. For those going with the convertible style of the Sebring, a wise part is a windscreen.
The second generation was becoming more and more stale as time went on. The Sebring was about as pleasant as a school bus to ride in with its unforgiving chassis. If you’re looking for a used Sebring, then you’ll have the best luck with the late 90’s and 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.
