1996 Chrysler Sebring Convertible JXI review from North America

"Loved this car for 6 years now!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Biggest problem is ongoing - it has always leaked rain into the car & trunk, sometimes profusely. I've put a new, upgraded, top on it & tried using silicone at the windows, but nothing's stopped it. I've "managed" the problem finally by drilling a hole in the trunk to drain it, and popping seals out of the rear seating area to drain those. I can at least dry the car out quickly now.

Electrical power controls were all bad when I bought it, but I found a mechanic who fixed them all a few years ago and no problems since.

Other than this, everything else has been normal wear & tear that I would expect.

General comments?

I love this car with a passion and although the body's trying to wear out (as I would expect with a Chrysler) the Mitsubishi engine is as strong & capable as ever. I tell everyone this car is breaking down from the outside in - the reverse of every other car I've ever had. LOL.

I love the way it handles and hangs on to the road when I'm speeding around corners or maneuvering quickly to avoid something in the road.

I love the interior design - it's comfortable and meant to cruise in. The bucket seat hugs my body with arm rests in comfortable position on each side, reachable cup holders, air controls and stereo. I've looked at new/er vehicles and am always disgusted at how uncomfortable they are to spend time in.

Some friends & family try to tell me I need a new car once in a while and I tell them I love this car and am riding it to the end.

My engine is in great condition so I'm probably going to invest in a new paint job this year so it looks like new again.

It's too bad the new models don't have Mitsubishi engines in them; that's the only reason I bought this Chrysler as I would never own a car with a Chrysler engine in it.
