Chrysler Sebring
The Chrysler Sebring is a mid sized family car that’s American in almost every way. It’s beefy and confident to look at, has a good amount of space, and comes with the standard level of kit you’d expect from a car from the States- pretty much everything you could think of. If you’re looking for a car that’s totally different from anything else in Europe, the Chrysler is a good option to consider.
With a production life that lasted 15 years, the Sebring was first introduced in 1995. It was available as a coupe, saloon and convertible, and 3 generations were released over the years, becoming seemingly more pompous along the way. Despite strong sales figure in the US, it never really caught on in the UK, so exclusivity is certainly a plus point.
To look at, modern versions of the Chrysler are quite striking with a glowering front grille, defined lines along the doors and abundance of ‘shiny bits’. You certainly won’t miss it, and it stands out easily on the road as few European cars have ventured down that route. There’s a vast amount of space inside, and a lot of chrome and plastic make it seem quite up market. Everything is arranged in a logical fashion and chunky buttons make it easy to use. A massive amount of equipment is available on the single trim level which makes it great value. Add in a competitively sized boot and it’s not a bad package overall.
What’s clear is that the Sebring is most comfortable as a motorway cruiser as obviously there aren’t many corners or deviations in the road. It’s also happy at low speeds around town. The ride is quite firm to say the least and sometimes you get the impression it’s confused when encountering a bend- almost like it’s never seen one before. The engine options are punchy and the diesels in particular deliver good economy. Look, it’s not the most refined car on the road, but it does offer good value for money.
You’ll have no trouble finding a second hand Chrysler Sebring at Motors.co.uk because the selection of second hand cars for sale is vast. Huge price reductions mean you’ll pay much less, and that’s the best way to bag a bargain.
All in all, the Chrysler Sebring is a typical American car. Fully loaded with kit, it’s spacious inside and quite versatile. While the driving experience isn’t particularly exciting, the point of this car isn’t to wow the crowds and burn rubber, rather it’s to be good value for families. That’s something it does very well indeed.
