Talking Re: Crossfire vs. Sebring

The Crossfire will out perform a Sebring on any given day. The Sebring is nothing but a want to be. They are ok right off the show room floor, but put some miles on them and they just fall apart. I have rented a few of them in Vegas and they are not impressive at all. Actually "cheezy" is a good word for them...

I had a Sebring convertible for 5 years before trading it for my SRT-6. My experience was completely different. It was a good, comfortable, stylish, and reliable car. I was actually a little sad to part with it but I had to do it to get the Crossfire.

I think the new Sebrings look really sharp.

Honestly I would take the Sebring over quiet a few cars in its class like the camry, accord, impala, aura, and some others...

Of course the Sebring is a good car... However what really set me off was the fact that they copied the CrossFire Design!

They (DCX) could not come up with a different design of the hood? Even if the Fascia was the same, DCX could have made the hood design different; which would have set the Sebring apart from the CrossFire.

For this reason alone... I mark the Sebring as a "Copy Cat"!

My mother-in-law bought an '07 pacifica and it has the same hood too...
I looked over the latest chrysler book and no crossfire info at all.
Oh well...I still love mine.

I'm not sure but I do not think while the Pacifica (which I have owned) does carry the same charisteristics/bodystyling as the CrossFire nor the Sebring, but to each his own.

Although I will admit the hood is rimed, as the CrossFire, Pasfica, and Sebring, I'm not sure that this is comparing apples to apples.

The Sebring completely outclasses the Crossfire in the cupholder department.

I have both the Sebring and the Pacifica. Each has its advantages. With a family of 4, the Sebring is the most comfortable convertible available, especially for those in the back seat. The Pacifica is a great car for long-distance traveling; we put over 5K miles on one in 3 weeks this past summer visiting most of the Western US. It is very roomy and again nothing beats the room in the second row. On weekends, when my kids have friends around, having a third row of seats is just perfect. And if I ever want to haul anything, I just lay the second and third row seats down and I've got plenty of capacity. But when I saw the XF coupe I had to have one. Couldn't bring myself to sell either of the others so I have all three. The XF is in a class by itself. And while I love my Sebring, its not close to the XF in any way.

My wife's daily driver is a '95 Stratus with 200,000 miles and mine is an '02 Stratus with 115,000 miles. They have not fallen apart, but the '95 is rusting (thank the salt that comes with Wisconsin winters).

With respect to the driving enjoyment potential of domestic Mopars, driving my wife's SRT-4 puts just as big of a grin on my face as my Crossfire.
