1998 Chrysler Sebring Coupe Lxi review from North America
"Performance engineering and drop-dead gorgeous styling!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The body panels started stick out and had be fixed shortly after I got the car. The brakes vibrate at high speed (100+ mph) which apparently is a design flaw and there is nothing you can do to fix it!
General comments?
This car is a perfect compromise between performance, luxury and economy. The engine signs and 2500 rpm, and I do about 25 mpg combined.
It handles exceptionally well (it has a 53%F/47%R weight distribution) and the engine does not hesitate when you ask more of it.
Too bad they did not make them stick shift, I don't understand why they made this car with so many bell and whistles (believe me, there's a lot of them) but failed to make a stick and option.
Its nice to have peace of mind of Japanese quality and the style of Chrysler all in one car.
