1999 Chrysler Sebring Convertible jxi review from North America
"Great convertible"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced alternator at 135000 miles. Replaced top at 144000 miles. Rear seats bottom needs replacing now-don't leave it parked in the sun all day with the top down day after day!
General comments?
This car has been one of the best cars I have ever owned. The only problems I have had with it were "self inflicted".Bought the car 'on the money' because of the high mileage. Still doesn't use a quart of oil between oil changes (5000).Just replaced the top. Top was good until I was no longer able to park it in the shade where I work and all of the thread that holds it together broke-Florida sun is rough on anything. Also car is rinsed of every morning since it sits outside at night. Top works great-can let it up or down at a red light with no problem. Drives and rides excellent for this size auto. The drive and ride is much better than the Camaro or Mustang which I consider to be a comparable size, etc car. The differince between an automobile and a car is the best way I know to express my feeling between it and them. BTW, I have owned all 3. This car is id a daily driver and I also have driven it from NW Fla to SC numerous times (95% interstate) and drives excellent there.
