The telltale signs of an overburdened four-cylinder engine presented themselves -- coughing, wheezing and egregiously downshifting. Of note, too, is that only drivers enjoy a manual lumbar adjustment. Sound dampening is really good--I drove a Ford Fusion before I bought this car, and I like Ford products generally, but the Fusion allowed much more road noise into the cabin than my Sebring. Dealership says Chrysler needs to make a design modification. The weight of the convertible will also reduce economy. In driving behavior and feel the Sebring fits in the middle of the midsize class. All are convertibles, while a sedan version of the Touring and the Limited is available.
The height of the seat is weird and just not right for a convertible. Now Fiat chief Sergio Marchionne is in charge of Chrysler. A thoughtful feature: One power point is wired to the battery and on all the time, which is good for charging cell phones and such. The transmission hunts endlessly for the proper gear on mild grades, whether up or down, often shifting up at exactly the wrong moment. But there has to be some place to store large segments of an articulated, metal roof, along with the motors, pumps, and other hardware necessary to lower and raise it.
Both ride on the same 108. The recall began on August 15, 2017. The Sebring scores high marks in most federal government safety tests, including a five-star front impact crash test rating. More than half of the available space in the convertible's trunk is taken up by the top mechanism when the top is down. In essence, this may be the perfect car for tall, skinny drivers or those with longer than average legs, while wide shoppers may find the Sebring to be a little tight.
Shifting lacks smoothness and precision. The Sebring also earned good safety scores, and was available in a convertible body style with either a power-retractable hardtop or a soft-top. The Sebring convertible is nice for a leisurely drive on a sunny day and pulls duty as a regular commuter with a fun side, but it's less sporty than the sedan. Perhaps you saw our recent hard top luxury convertible and sporty roadster comparison tests, and were left salivating. While not quite as at home in non-commute environs, the Sebring is not all that flustered by a twisty, two-lane country road. Its poor performance, subpar fuel economy and cheap interior materials help it stand out from its rivals, but not in a good way. Literally the only thing wrong with my car after all the miles I've driven is that I've filled the fuel tank so often that the spring on the gas cap cover doesn't want to pull the door all the way closed.
The glove box door is damped, so it doesn't bruise an unwary passenger's shins. They also noted that its steering was particularly vague and inconsistent. The Touring convertible edition is also a FlexFuel vehicle, capable of running either gasoline or E85. At 99,000 I had the transmission checked out just to get a status, and there were no leaks or significant wear, and all fluid pressures were at factory spec. The dealership finally agreed today to do this.
The Aztek's excessive plastic body-cladding and the Juke's frog face are just some of the details that lend these cars a not easy-on-the-eyes look, but their proportions areā¦ The 2010 Chrysler Sebring is the most discounted 2010 or 2011 vehicle for March, according to TrueCar's latest TrueTrends report. The Limited convertible comes equipped with a 3. Most of the Touring Convertible upgrades center on the powertrain, but it does get a key fob to control the power top and windows, a mini-trip computer, and temperature and compass gauges. The vehicle is very comfortable to drive, its great on gas, drives great in the snow if you have the right tires, sits five people very comfortable, have descent trunk space but most important the maintenance on the vehicle is very reasonable plus the vehicle is very stylish. In-cabin storage compares favorably with the class. Tires and wheels are interchangeable.
Inside the sedan, road, tire and wind noise are noticeable, but they don't interrupt conversation. The dealer I purchased it through bought it from Hertz so it was a program car and I was pleased at how it had held up with that kind of use. The cabin is relatively quiet in most conditions, though it can get a little loud when merging into top-speed highway traffic. These figures however, may not tell the whole story. The Sebring is the poster child for what went wrong at under former owners Daimler. I asked repeatedly for a new driver seat. Dealership told me that the seat does not come as a single replacement unit, and that all parts would need to be replaced to build me a new seat bottom.
The center stack is laid out to be inclusive of the front seat passenger, subtly reinforcing the family car personality. The sedan's trunk lid is shorter than the convertible's trunk lid. The trunk is small for the class and has a small opening, however. It has a defective driver seat. When I have the fan on high sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
For 2010, changes to the Sebring include a sleeker hood, new wheel designs, a revised instrument cluster, and driver and front passenger active head restraints. Both the sedan and convertible have advanced multi-stage airbags, electronic stability control and interior head impact protection. Still has 50000 miles to go on the factory warranty as it was a low mileage car for the 2010. The look is sleek, and it is all nicely integrated and finished. A retractable hard top is available only on the Limited. It currently has 259,000 miles and still going strong. Driving Impressions There's more pleasure to be found from behind the wheel of the Chrysler Sebring than first impressions might suggest.
Side of seat keeps breaking. Noise level increases with the convertibles, as expected. Overall its a great car to have and you wont go wrong with buying this model. I have photos of the breakdown. Would you like to sell products for this vehicle on Amazon.
