1998 Chrysler Sebring Convertible JXi review from North America
"The '98 JXi convertible is a "keeper""
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake pads had to be replaced & rotors turned - at 36k miles - which seems too early for this to have been needed.
If I go through standing water/heavy rain, then I can count on the alarm section of horn to get totally muffled. Takes about 2 months to dry out. This is an ongoing quirk.
General comments?
We have had this car over 3 years; purchased it new. There have been no major problems to deal with, or even many small problems. It has been a joy to drive and own. Plans are to keep it for many, many more years.
I personally love everything about my car:
Exterior/Interior appearance
Comfortable
Lots of extras that came standard
Reliable
Decent gas mileage
All the positive comments I receive
Stress-release that comes from driving top down - & the top is cake to drop.
Small things that do bug me are:
See above about the alarm horn
Cup Holders are not a good size.
