Performance :
Smooth and quiet ride with the top up. Handles well in the city and on the highway but the 2.4-liter engine leaves it underpowered and the 4-speed transmission on two models is outdated.

Exterior:
Long lines and standard 17-inch tires give this convertible a substantial look. The Sebring stands out.

Interior:
Well-appointed interior. Seats are comfortable and give the driver a commanding view of the road. Back seat still crowded. My Gig stereo system is a bonus; can burn CDs and provides a premium stereo.

Safety:
Excellent: Sebring offers more than 30 standard safety and security features, including electronic stability control and rollover mitigation.
