Now that I have my Crossfire, I can tell you that no matter what they do to the Sebring, there is nothing they can do to it that would come close to our cars!
I know there are some people in this thread that are passionate about their Sebrings and I do not mean to offend any of you... Its just a matter of been there done that...
While I agree with almost everything that you've said, I have to place myself in the Sebring fan...though not passionate category. My wife is in the passionate category. You can say anything...I know I'm not offended. The car screams for at least the Chrysler 3.5L. My wife's has the 2.7L and it is woefully underpowered...exactly the way my wife likes it. It used to handle poorly in turns until I traded the
stock Michelins for Yokohama Avid T4s. After that I thought the car drove itself. No problems with seals or front end vibration...except when the font axle joint almost wore through. It's been the best car for my wife, who is so passionate that she didn't feel the vibration in the front... Until I forced her to take it in...abd they advised that she has maybe 50 miles before the right axle would've buckled.
Anyway...what makes me love the Sebring is it was the car that converted me to the Chrysler family. I never had the slightest interest in Chryslers...until my wife named the Sebring as her dream car. So while the Sebring isn't a Crossfire...in my case I own a Crossfire all because of a Sebring. They are still beautiful cars...and I hope they continue to be the leading convertible in America.
