2004 Chrysler Sebring Sedan LX review from North America
"Nice looking, but lacks the chops to stack up with the big guys"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is a whomping noise in the front end while braking at low speeds and turning left that the dealer insists is "normal suspension friction point" noise.
Rear bottom door trim inside the car is plastic and the plastic hardware holding it on is already broken. Can we say, "CHEAP"?
Terrible gas mileage for a 4 cylinder.
Volume on radio/CD unit is strictly by guess. When you push the button for power you had better do it straight on or you're liable to blow your eardrums out.
General comments?
The car is very comfortable to ride in and drive.
It is responsive in regard to braking and performance is about as well as can be expected for a 4 cylinder engine.
Don't forget to ask for the "Smoker's Package", which costs an extra fifty bucks from the dealer: An ashtray that fits down into a cup holder that is so far under the dash and shift lever that you'll run the risk of causing an accident if you actually try to use it, a lighter and a pine tree air freshener.
