2002 Chrysler Sebring Convertible GTC review from North America
"You'll pay more and get less the newer the vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission 3-4 shift was rough when the engine/transmission was cold .
General comments?
This is the 3rd Sebring convertible I've had (98 JX, 00 JXI, 02 GTC). All 3 for the most part have been good cars for me with minimal problems. The 02 has the best V6 engine (2.7) while the 98 & 00 had the 2.5. Also the 02 has the best brakes, more solid feel, quieter, etc. (all 3 have/had 4 wheel disc anti-lock, however the 02 doesn't offer traction control). The 02 was also the most solid feeling structure. However that's where my praise stops. The 02 was also the most deconteted. My 98 JX had more standard features and more amenities than 02 GTC does. The 00 JXI felt luxurious and loaded with features compared to the 02 GTC which was close to the same price.
One other note: Chrysler seriously needs to improve their trim color offerings. With the exception of the Limited model, having Tan or Grey as the only interior trim colors is pretty unexciting and cheap looking.
