What Owners are Saying About the 2005 Chrysler Sebring

"Hands down - this is my favorite car!"

"I bought the car I really wanted when I bought my Sebring convertible. It's a nice looking car, cool to drive, and there was room in the back seat for my kids. I love the body style, the leather and wood appointments, the cloth top, how solid it is, and, of course, the feeling of freedom and joy while driving with the top down. I've always been faithful with maintenance and oil changes. I know it's hard to find an article about Sebrings with a favorable review, but I've had a very different experience. I've been good to my Sebring, and it's been good to me."

"Love this car!"

"Very dependable, easy to handle, has all the bells and whistles. Low maintenance, only replaced battery in past 3 years of ownership. Great mileage. Some rust on lower panels, driver's side window doesn't go down. I've had 3 Chryslers before and each one had the same window that failed in every one. Big trunk for med sized car, leather and cloth seats. Selling only because I live where it snows and ices a lot and want to trade up to 4x4."

"Despite its poor review history, I love it!"

"Bought my low mileage (76,500) 2006 Sebring Touring drop top 14 months ago. It has the 2.7 which runs like new, doesn't use a drop of oil and has given me no trouble at all and now has 89,000 miles on it. Love the smooth ride and handles amazing for its size in the canyons. I've put alot of after market on it: custom grill, black headlights, Le Bra, 225/55/16 tires, added optional 6 disk changer and replaced the silver dash trim with wood grain from a limited model. These cars take alot of undeserved poor reviews IMHO. I think they're much better looking than the 2008's. Use nothing but full synthetic oil and change regularly!"
