2008 Chrysler Sebring/Quick Drive

[HackerMTY6]

i have a 1999 Sebring Limited Convertible, a 2006 GTC Convertible and a 2008 Touring Hard Top Convertible :D

[016hannadavis]

Chryslers are for poor fat gingers that live in green....

[alwal0307]

I have the 2ltr Diesel version and the oil pump has failed. 60+k on the clock. It's a common fault with this engine(VW) so avoid .

[Annihilator1111]

the 2007-2010 Chrysler Sebring/ Chrysler Cirrus (in Mexico) was assembled in

Sterling Heights, Michigan

[M67v]

14 people had to lift something heavy to the trunk of this car.

I like the Sebring. Im renting a Limited 2.4 without nav and it's easy to drive, comfortable, sounds good, fits into many parking spaces, and has ample cargo room. I love it.

[redneon06]

Shit cars I hate that Im parked by one! :(

[cipmars]

It's not very good looking, it's not particularely fast, not the best economy, not roomy, not fancy, not the most reliable. In other words it fucking sucks. I've traveled more than 1k miles in one of these and I can tell you that it doesn't get close to any European or Japanese competitors.

[069Ap]

what a fucking dick i love mine

[mrgingles]

seebring = shit

Something tells me that Mike Hanley enjoys the company of well hung homosexual men.

I bought a 1997 Chrysler Sebring JXI Convertible 1 month ago and have been having problems ever since I bought it. Replaced the distributor for $400, replaced spark plugs, convertible top leaks rain into car, tachometer needles go crazy on start up, sometimes the does not even start, has an oil leak now, engines fine, transmission is a POS, I paid $4000 for it! Im going to get rid of it as soon as I can. Going to go buy a 2003 Mustang GT Convertible. Chrysler= Money pit.

[M67v]

@MRGOLDFINGER19 Thats because it was not taken care of.

[adrianbrienautomotiv]

Another great video!

[syyenergy7]

I totally hate the styling of the '08 and up. Chrysler quality is also bad. But cars are like a 'religion' . Some people worship Chrysler. The old Mopars of the 1960's and 1950's were actually the best cars of that era. That's not at all true of Chrysler quality and engineering in recent decades.

[figure261]

the seats are uncomfortable the interior is cheap and engine is noisy but it does so weell on the higway like shit you just poass evrybody goes the negine just keeps running :)

[araneus1970]

Just got one as a replacement car at my garage. It is definetely the WORST car I have ever driven! I can not imagine somthing good about it. It is noisy, poor build quality, very bad seats, ...

[sweetflyer07]

i just bought my 2008 chrysler sebring today and i've been trying to find out info on the uconnect. i definitely have the buttons for it, but it says i'm not equipped. does that mean the car itself isn't equipped or just that i need to subscribe or something?

[diabeticdoode]

Cars.com is biased. They need to ask actual owners of Sebrings how they like em.

[xoquixxoqafxo]

@diabeticdoode

look on edmunds consumer reviews on the Chrsler Sebring and you will see that most of them hate the car

[Mitsy1212]

When they drastically changed the styling of the Sebring into an "old man's" version, it lost a lot of appeal. This car looks clunky and dated. Consumer Reports says the mileage is extremely bad for a mid-sized car. I'd never consider buying one with the current styling and low gas mileage.

[cipmars]

If you think the 2.4 is weak, you should drivetest the European 2.0 version. It's compltely ilogical. It's not good looking, not fast, not strong, not luxurious, not cheap and not economical. What's the point with this car? God I don't know... I wonder how does Chrysler make any profit... Oh, wait, they don't.

[FSM2786]

My cousin had an 02 Sebring. It was, unfortunately, a piece of crap that was plagued with problems and crapped out at 88,000 miles.

[michoacan684]

thiz dude just talk shit .. i love my 2008 chrysler sebring ... and i think it is nice

[GregHuismans]

Chrysler...build anything and hope for the best. Love their optimism, or is it resignation.

[michoacan684]

I LOVE MY SEBRING but i dont like the engine tat i get is the 2.4 it sucks

[gullwing14]

we just got ours!!

[theravenphoenix665]

I love my 08 Sebring I bout a week ago, Different Style Different Feeling which is what I look for in all my vehicles I've bought, I have the 2.7 V6 Touring Model I'm 6'2 could adjust my driver seat to my liking & still have room to sit comfortably behing the driver seat, NICE bumping 6-7 speaker system to Cruz & this is a Cruzing car. Out of all the cars I've drove, road in, Chrysler's vehicles have Always given me the best feeling of what I'm looking for in a vehicle.

[dieoffizielle]

Amazing Car!

[bustermax34]

I like my sebring too ! :)

[SistemasNormales]

I love my Chrysler Sebring!

[ILVRACN]

I'm waiting for Chrysler to improve interior quality. This car looks cheap even when compared to cars from the late 90's.

[djmick90]

chryslers interiors were actually decent in the 90s, and early 2000s you can thank daimler-benz for cutting 50% out of the budget for interior quality, but don't worry chrysler is working on it there will be all new interiors,and exteriors for the sebring and other chrysler/dodge cars for 2010.

[thebigcougar]

Like he said the 2.7l offers a good balance between fuel economy and performance. I had a 2004 I bought used and traded it in on a bran new 2009. They both are excellent cars. I like the body style of the 2004 better. I shopped aroung durring the clunker rebates and found this to be the best value out there. Too bad people don't know about it. Perhaps that is why I got such a good deal.

[Xyleksoll]

You got a great deal. Just wait and see.

[thebigcougar]

Only time will tell about reliability. I have a 1995 Tacoma which is in excellent condition and should last another 20 years. I had undercoating, rust protection, paint protection and stain resistance put on my Sebring. It will always be garaged and I will change my own oil, etc. I am aware of the sludge problem which also afected many Toyotas, Volkwagons, Audis, Suabs, etc. It will get the best of care. I always changed the oil at 2000 k in my 2004 Sebring, It was in the best shape.

[th3ha1og0d]

fuck you mike hanley

[mista925]

i don't hate this car...i think chrysler needs to redesign it to compete with the competition, but i dont get all of the hate... it's interior is clean! and it's not ugly...you wanna hate a car? go hate a ford focus...i do not like that car at all...

[somewhatlongdong]

I enjoyed how, in the most polite way, this car sucks.

[thewillofthe313]

i like the Sebring

[carlosrodriguez51]

i love this car

[Ganbala]

this car is nice for rental>

[kenbgood4u]

He should have just said do i really need to do this cus i just hate this car......I really dont want to comment on this car.......I love imports not American shit...........

He is GAY and likes to eat stinky pickles.....

[joeboxer80]

You should spend more time getting your hair to grow back instead of critizing cars that look out of your price range you middle age bald geek

[LHS91]

Oh fuck you people. I have a 2008 Chrysler Sebring, and I love it. it has HUGE amounts of room, and it has fantastic looks and performance. All you people are just biased with you cheap ugly lil imports

[somewhatlongdong]

The Chrysler Sebring is the butt of jokes. It's poor quality, ugly, and no intelligent person would buy one. They are easily the worst mid sized car on the market.

[LHS91]

How the hell would you know?

[somewhatlongdong]

the reason i would know is because i read consumer reports, car and driver, motor trend, automobile, autoweek, and forbes, and others. i've also looked at resale values, and i've been in the auto industry for more than a decade. perhaps you are a "chrysler enthusiast," which is fine. given that, sometimes you have to open your eyes to reality. what i wrote is the reality.

[LHS91]

Whatever

[somewhatlongdong]

Reality is often painful

[stanbernadino]

You can't base an entire car off what you read in magazines, I read that a certain car wasn't very good, but then I had one as a rental and found out it wasn't nearly as bad as they said. Magazines are paid by automakers to give good impressions about their cars, you gotta get into the real world.

[somewhatlongdong]

fair enough, but find me one trade publication that defends this car. look at the poor sales. 75% go to fleets.

[stanbernadino]

Probably because a lot of people base many of their decisions on third-hand information and what they read in a magazine. For example, I know people who've bought Japanese cars because they 'heard' they were the best cars in the world and then had a ton of problems with them. You have to check things out yourself rather than basing decisions on others' opinions.

[somewhatlongdong]

get real, even the chrysler people know this car is a total flop

[stanbernadino]

I have no idea, did they tell you that? I know that if I were to buy a midsized car, it wouldn't be my first choice, but there are a lot of people who like the car.

[PuppetKing]

Thank you somewhatlongdong, this is what I've been telling my friends for the past few weeks because one of them bought a Sebring convertible and everyone thought it was magnificent.

[gooziddaiejoon]

THAT'S RIGHT!!i dont know what the fuck chrysler auto makers do with all the space.

i mean their cars look huge outside but once u get inside it's so tight and you hit your head constantly to the root of pillars!! for instance pacifica is as big as a fucking cross over but inside its really good for 4 adults and not even 6!!

[gooziddaiejoon]

lol i meant roof or pillars and not "root of pillars"

[dmick90]

It is a crossover dumbass.

[gooziddaiejoon]

firstly, dumbass is ur daddy.

secondly go do ur lame ass a favor and look up the word online before u state ur stupid mind to the world. crossovers are big class of suv's.

[dmick90]

No go do yourself a lame ass favor and look up the word crossover vehicle, it's a vehicle that's based on a car platform, while borrowing features from suvs, and/or minivans.

[dmick90]

The Pacifica is a crossover between an a car, an suv, and a minivan, do some research before you go running your mouth.

[candysweetx33]

had this as a rental car boy was it bad we had 2 one broke down then the 2nd one just didnt start .. lol

[carfreak2795]

The Chrysler Sebring looks good one way but, ugly in another way.

[sjazzy2007]

i got a 2008 sebring sedan on monday i'm

happy with it. i went from a 06 corolla to

and 08 sebring major difference their both

good cars!

[johnnyboy181990]

it looks like a fish lol. i hate the back of it so much. it's just ugly

[lilxkhmerpete]

eww..ugly..i rather have an altima.accord..camry

or the passat.

[muzakship]

No thanks, EVER. Sorry wasn't paying attention or would have skipped this vid altogether.

[craijona]

joestuff, you obviously have NO idea of what you are tlaking about because the Astra won 2008 motoring car of the year, and the cobalt/g5 have mor epower than a corolla, or civic, or focus, or anything else in the same class. Get lost.

[joestuff8]

I was saying that GM its self has no originality for its cars. The Astra won an award. LaDeFuckingDa. I wasnt talking about awards. I was refferencing the looks. The g5 & cobalt coupe are the same car, just different badge. GM uses the same unibody for most of its cars. Along with the same shity ass EcoTec engines in others. Also, comparing body & structure such as the cobalt to the g5, the Aura to the Malibue, each shares the same body styleing as the other it competes with. So yea, I do know.

[spritz0]

I love my Sebring, and most of his comments just don't apply if you are single, or just have a girlfriend... there's LOTS of room, and the engine is totally reliable and powerful, plus the Boston Acoustics sound system is SO perfect for dance music- HUGE BASS!!!

[kneelio321]

but i would rather drive my 93 buick regal than that ugly piece of shit!

[shawtiee1085]

i am interested in the sebring.which engine do u have? does it have good acceleration?

[spritz0]

It's the 173 horsepower 2.4L "World Engine", same as in KIA Optima and HYUNDAI Sonata- it's got both excellent fuel economy and great exceleration- feels like a V-6!!

[shawtiee1085]

oh good.i am interested in buying a touring model or an avenger sxt.which model do u have?how much did u pay?

[spritz0]

I have the Sebring base, but I got the dealer to install the Boston Acoustics stereo- it already comes with automatic, A/C, etc... and I really love the entire package! It came to $17,000plus tax, I'm sure you could get a Touring model for that in the USA, or an Avenger SXT- both are excellent by the way, and come with electronic stability control!!

[kneelio321]

amen!

[ProfessorIgor]

would it help if I told you that this isn't a GM ??  It's a Chrysler.

[minivan442]

I am not impressed with this car at all. Ford Fusion is the best in quality, the Chevy Malibu is the best in design.

[SistemasNormales]

I love it!!

[StayTruProductions]

what a pos

[madpistol]

The interior looks hideous to me. Just look at the A/C controls... No class at all.

[igotthewhip]

the first generation still looks the best

[johnkimble2007]

i agree doesnt compare to jap or american vehicles

[stanbernadino]

Good review, it's disappointing that Chrysler isn't making great competitors yet like Chevy and Ford.

[Xs4rad0min]

I dont like the rear of it...

[gallardoking]

i agree so much its hideous

[Paradiddler45]

Are you kidding me?! The rear looks like a Corolla, that's awesome! Oh wait, that's NOT awesome, my bad...

While we're on the rear, why not bring up the Kia front?
