You can say that about basically any 20 year old Chrysler product that isn't a truck platform. That said, these modern RAMs don't inspire a lot of confidence in their longevity.
Back when I was a tween, one of the moms at school had a black one of these... looked great back then, but looking at the maw grill and front overhang now, it's definitely best appreciated from the rear 1/4 view.
@Ethan2xm85 The Avenger was an older version of the platform. This platform (called ST-22) was used by the Sebring Coupe, Stratus and Eclipse. The first generation Avenger was dead at this point.
At the time, I would not have considered buying this car, but it does look handsome to me now. In 2001, I had owned my Olds Alero V6 for 2-3 years, which based on specs was more or less in the same class. The Alero V6 was rated at 170 hp/200 lb-ft, vs. Sebring's 200 hp/205 lb-ft, yet the Alero ran to 60 in 7.7 seconds in MW's test, vs. 8.5 seconds here. I have many times thought that GM probably offered automatics that robbed less power than Ford's or Chrysler's. I liked that Alero, but if I had playing around money now, I'd like to try an old Chrysler in good shape. I've never owned one.
My Dad had an Alero 3.4 and my Mum a Sebring Sedan 2.7 back then. I liked them both but the Alero was my favourite, even tough the Sebring had a little bit more power and a nicer interior. The Alero was very reliable and I still miss it a little. The Sebring was OK, too but my Mom didn't drive much anyway and sold it after only 3 years. The Alero however was in our family for about 8 years.
The Alero is smaller, lighter and has smaller wheels. A 5 speed was optional with the LXi V6 but unavailable on the Alero. That 5 speed LXi V6 does the run to 60 in 6.6sec.
I drove one of these for years as a second car. So boring and slow compared to my other car but I soon found that this is the one I wanted to drive after working 10 hour days. It didn’t beat me up going over bad pavement, the seats were comfortable and the stereo was way better than it should have been. I couldn’t fault the car for what it was and how little that was paid for it.
Always pay attention to the wiring diagrams. I was having an alarm system installed in my 1997 Chrysler Sebring Convertible JX. 3 hours into the install, the tech called me at work and said he couldn't figure out the wiring diagram. I asked him. "Are you looking at the coupe manual or convertible?" He says "Coupe", aren't they the same? Well sir, no they are NOT. Get the convertible diagram. Once he had it, the install went much easier. haha. Still have a 2001 Chrysler Sebring Convertible Limited. Love it!!
It would be hard for young people to understand how impressive the Sebring was when it first came out in the early 90s. The design was literally gorgeous compared to its rivals.
Neighbor had one when I 1st met them in 2012. Just sat there. Never driven They were old and I helped fill up tires. They passed in 2022 and family wanted gone. I jumped the battery and it cranked right up. Impressive. AC even still worked
Chrysler was given new life by the minivan during the 1980s. It is so ironic that it will die with a minivan being the last thing to roll off. It’s assembly lines.
@@pmafterdark that’s funny because Chrysler only bought AMC for the Jeep name lol but some part of the agreement required them to keep producing Renault for a couple years as I recall
@@senseicorey9979 If you saw how well kept my Sebring LXi Limited Coupe V6 5 speed in Kalapana Black with two tone interior & chrome mesh grill is, you would try to buy it from me.
I had a 2004 Dodge Stratus SE that had the upgraded Infiniti sound system installed with the four disk changer. For the time, those sound systems were amazing and performed very well without having to hack up the head unit or stick a grotesque looking speaker box in the trunk. Load up four of your mixtapes with about 20 songs on each disk from your iTunes library and it sounded incredible. Deep base good highs good mids. That is, of course, until the speaker cones popped because of prolonged sessions with the volume knob turned too far to the right. Easy to replace however, getting the OEM speakers from Chrysler was very pricey.
My parents leased a convertible Sebring. They had never owned a convertible before and wanted to scratch that itch. It was actually a really nice car. Top worked well. I don't remember it being super sporty but had enough power.
Had one, manual tranny, I'm sure I could beat that 0-60 time in that thing, and it had a different front end, but I like that original look too. Loved it. After 2 years of my nephew nagging me, I sold it to him. He had a wreck, got it fixed and traded it in. Kinda wish I still had it.
I helped my salesman buddy deliver one of these to Vale, CO - I was the only manual driver he knew that could do it - and he was driving so fast that I almost lost control behind him through the mountain roads, but man, that coupe was a pretty great car to drive.
Yep, and nearly nothing on the Sebring coupe was Chrysler sourced. Blame Mitsubishi. In fairness, I can't recall the last time I saw an Accord coupe or Solara.
It was manufactured in Normal Illinois on the same line as the Eclipse, its Dodge counterpart and the Galant. The plant now owned by Rivian, was literally surrounded by corn fields.
This are as rare as hens teeth these days. That said, I’ve always thought this was an extremely handsome design. It gave the Chrysler design language at the time more finesse than some of their more “baroque” offerings did.
Had one of these with a 5 speed a 3.0 Very fun for what it was. At the time it was 4 years old 60k miles for 10k. Dealership said no one wanted the manual. At around 83k i started to hear a really bad rattle on start up. I guess that particular 3.0 started eating oil lol
I liked the first gen sebring this one isnt bad, but the 41TE trans and being a chrysler, killed it. Rather have the Lebaron, you still see those running
They always looked great. At best you could say it was a sporty-looking coupe. It’s powertrain never matched the great bodywork. I’m not saying it should have been a Mustang GT or Camaro Z28 beater but more investment in its powertrain could have made it true performance car competitor with performance to back up its looks.
Dodge Avenger R/T coupes from the late 90's were sharp looking cars - its a shame they never went after the Camaro/Mustang. Same can be said for the 2nd gen Intrepid
That mitsubishi 3.0 was a POS. Lifter issues and valve seal problems like crazy. I had the DOHC version. You have to know engines well to keep them going.
@@user-sk1eh3pg6j It was still a shitty car just like that generation of Mitsubishi Eclipse. It was just a bad time in general for anything made by Chrysler.
In 2000, I bought a used '05 Chrysler Concorde. With no fog lights. For it's weight, it had only 166 hp and felt very lackluster with power. What a lemon, lots of weatherstripping issues, electrical problems, mechanical repairs....never again. The Chrysler line up is very slim these days for good reason. I now drive a 2007 Lincoln Towncar and the repairs are pretty much kept to a minimum with 100 more horse power. Nothing beats air suspension. I'm much more happier now with my TownCar. Ok here, from Chrysler Concorde, the good: Never stalled, a good 3.5 liter V6 engine, protected me in a crash in the city. The bad: After taking three passengers and some luggage to the lake ( 2 hours drive) the Concorde was steaming and heated up for a V6, steering issues (alignment), Chrysler wouldn't help my auto repair shop with getting a new computer to replace the one that went bad, easily rusted when I wash the car every week and drive on country roads, wouldn't start in winter after 8 years of buying the car, etc.
Wow that front end is horrible looking. It looks like a catfish with down syndrome. I thought the Sebring coupe looked different back then. I know that the convertible looked much better. It’s a shame the styling went this way. This was one of the best looking cars just a few years earlier and the best selling convertible in America.
@@gedaman It's a good thing. They got the bulletproof Mitsubishi 6G series V6 and the reliable Mitsubishi transmissions. Not the failure prone Chrysler 2.7 V6 and unreliable UltraDrive transmission. The coupes were also built much much better with higher quality. As far as looks, the convertible looks like a sedan with its roof chopped off.
@@user-sk1eh3pg6j Chrysler has always usually had crappy powertrains like their 4 cylinder engines they used to put in the Dodge Neon or like you said the 2.7L V6 which they later used in the LX platform cars like their Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger. Their transmissions sucked too which is why they later switched over to ZF 8 speed automatic transmissions and sometimes made the bad decision to go with the terrible ZF 9 speed automatic transmissions in cars like their short lived second generation Chrysler 200 V6 model. Jeeps are pretty awful too.
@@gedaman The most reliable stuff they had was their own 2.4 4 cylinder, their own 3.3/3.8 pushrod V6 and their own 3.2/3.5 V6. Everything else was junk.
These didn't sell well (compared to GM competitors) and they disappeared from roads quickly. Uninspired powertrains. I'll take an Oldsmobile Alero every day of the week over this. (My profile pic indicates I did) 😂😂
Wrong, they did sell well. Wrong, they last alot longer than the Alero and Grand Am. They're still on the road, like mine. These are built by Mitsubishi. Call it stretched Eclipse or Galant coupe. If you want an inspiring powertrain quit being a wuss for a slushbox and get the V6 5speed like i did. 0-60 in 6.6secs with V6 5 speed.
Yeah, these cars were way larger than an Alero. As someone who drove both they were completely different. The Alero was small and cramped by comparison. The Sebring had midsize interior space, the Alero was only a compact. Someone calling something uninspired when compared to a lazy rebadged Grand Am is laughable, too.
The what? Who even remembers this thing? HAHAHAHA If you own one of these today or have seen one on the road in the last 5 years, I'd love to hear about it. I bet 99.9% of these are in the junkyard. Mitsu/Chrysler quality, lol.
Back when Chrysler cars... existed.
So we are just going to ignore the lack of volt meter and oil pressure gauge?
Maybe John had given up at this point. Lol.

@@fv7765It has a coolant temperature guage
@fv7765 Fuel on the left, coolant temp on the right. Difficult to see with the lighting

The Sebring convertible is a totally different car and isn't related to the Eclipse. Those sold much better than coupes.

They were both beautiful cars.
Chrysler needs to start making these kinds of cars again. Look at how CLASSY and SPORTY it was. We DONT want more trucks and suvs!
The market wants the trucks and SUVs, they don't build those they're done for. Then again, they don't build anything so that's no better 😂
Well said! I still have an Intrepid and an imperial!
@@hiro55cool Wrong, the automakers are forcing trucks and suvs on people like Ford & Chrysler.
Why? So 14 people would buy them?
Agreed, but the market for now is catered to with trucks and SUV's. I hate it too and would like to see some return of actual cars.
Doesn't exist in my eyes anymore. I don't think I've seen one the road in at least 10 years.
Because they were garbage.
I wish Chrysler would make a comeback with their stylish cars!
Mitsubishi’s V6 was always a smooth strong unit
Mine in Australia is so reliable.
They should’ve used it for the whole Sebring and stratus line instead of the 2.7
I never knew that it was an Eclipse! Interesting information.
Seriously I would have never guessed but I suppose Chrysler and Mitsubishi were friends with benefits for a long time lol.
@@glanzera I think it was actually the Avenger, which was a stretched Eclipse, so not exactly the same.

In 2001, as Plymouth was on it's way out of here, I never imagined Chrysler would follow a similar trajectory only 23 years later.
