2001 Chrysler Sebring Sedan LX review from North America
"V6 power with the economy of a 4 cylinder"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear strut, broken tail light from previous owner, headlight switch, water outlet on top of motor, front calipers need to be replaced yet - they rattle.
General comments?
Previous owner neglected the car, bought it for $600 and have fixed many things.
This is by far the nicest car I have owned! The seats are comfortable and the fake wood on the dash looks good.
It goes like snot on the highway, no problem passing anyone.
It has the infamous 2.7L V6 with 268,000 kms on the original motor, and is still running strong. I am not easy on this car at all, but it just keeps going without many issues. From my experiences with the 2.7L, the key is to keep the oil changed, every 5000 kms.
Headlight switch is going on it again, my dash lights are starting to flicker, will buy a new switch instead of a used one this time.
I've only had this car for 3 months now, but intend to keep it for as long as I possibly can, recently got 39 Canadian MPG combined city/highway driving.
