Great Car !
Source: Edmunds

...Well, Unlike Edmund's review and the other reviews, I could find nothing that looks cheap or of poor quality, but some pieces in the interior looks cheap !
I was concerned after reading negative reviews, but the car has grown on me.
I tested some cars in this segment including Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Kia Optima ...
It was quiet and smoother. but the Altima was powerful than the Sebring with 2.5L engine.
Sebring It's what you want in a mid-size sedan, the car is very nice inside and outside,
it has a aerodynamic design, smart intuitive, powerful with I-4 and...

I guess my was a lemon
Source: Cars.com

...I had to put a new transmission in it when it hit 85,000 miles. Had a horrible time with the tires, I was later told that particular alloy rim was easily bent, and that's why my tires went flat all of the time. There were various other problems so I gave it to my son when he turned 16 since it was just an around our small town car for him. Six months later, he side swiped a brick mail box and the insurance company declared it totaled. I was just happy that he wasn't hurt. I will say it was one of the prettiest cars I've ever owned and the top did function extremely well in comparison to other...

Great car
Source: MSN Autos

...I can't beat that in my 4 cyliinder pt cruiser with a turbo which gets about 20 miles per gallon. I average over 26 mixed driving in the Seebring. It is comfortable, has a good sound system and all the bells and whistles at a great price. I traded in a 2004 Seebring which was just as good whose exterior design I liked better. Cons: The front exterior is rounded which I dont like. I like to be able to see the front sides to gage where I am on the road or driving into my garage. Overall: I would recommend it to a friend. This car should give many years of good reliable driving if you take care...

Sebring equals good value.

..."I purchased a new '09 Limited in April. It has been a great car.
The 2.4L has plenty of power for most real world driving situations. Ride, comfort and handling are all quite good. Paint and build quality are also impressive."...

Love this car,but can't afford it
Source: Cars.com

..."I think have changed everything in this car. I have changed strut mounts,water pump, had problems with aluminum wheels eroding and then problems with keeping air in the tires.
Changed the radiator, and oil pan and struts and etc. Would not buy another but I like the looks of them."...

Surprisingly efficient

..."Well, I took advantage of Cash for Clunkers and retired my 94 Blazer. There was nothing wrong with it, but with Chrysler matching the govt money, I knew I would never get more money for my Blazer...

GTC 5 SPEED: UPDATE
Source: Edmunds

...Update: 44,000 miles. My "black-on- black beauty" 5 speed manual continues to be just that.
The mirror-like finish remains deep and clear, and still maintains like-new appearance.
The last tank of fuel (city driving) yielded 23 mpg, and that fluctuates in a range of 21-23 city--all on original plugs.
With the exception of two switch replacements in the heat-ac blower, the car has been absolutely mechanically excellent.
One change noted, however, is the presence in Winter, when the cabin is cold, of loud squeaky sounds where the top meets the windshield frame.
As the...

A Terrific and Fun Drive!

...Pros: Excellent handling, safe, powerful, stylish, and sophisticated.
Great traction even on slick roads. Cons: Poor fuel efficiency. Overall: I would definitely recommend this vehicle as it is an overall terrific value...

Fun to drive, but a hassle to maintain!
Source: Edmunds

...Tyrods have had to be replaced twice, motor mounts twice, and now the struts need to be replaced as well. Countless engine leaks, and too many electrical problems to count. The car leaks A LOT, and the mpg was great up until about last year. It's been a money pit the past few years and I cannot wait to get rid of it! As much as I love the convertible style, it's simply not worth it anymore! It spends more time in the shop than on the road, and even my mechanic is getting weary of working on it! I'll miss it, but my wallet sure won't!...

Why should I also consider these?

The Ford Fusion and the Mazda6 are both sportier-feeling rivals to the Sebring, and they perform much better in nearly every way.

The Fusion is a bit larger than the Sebring, while the Mazda6 may handle more in tune with some drivers' tastes and has a distinctive new look and feel that’s more luxurious.

Surprisingly, the Honda Civic and the Toyota Corolla might compete more at the four-cylinder level with the Sebring than the Accord and Camry.

The Honda and Toyota options shine for quality and dependability.

 
2009 Ford Fusion
The 2009 Ford Fusion is a great choice for those who place their priorities on style and handling, but if interior space matters to you, look elsewhere.
 
2009 Mazda MAZDA6
The 2009 Mazda6 could easily steal sales from the traditional class leaders if non-gearheads discover it.

2009 Toyota Corolla
The 2009 Toyota Corolla has a split personality: the utilitarian base car and the slightly edgy, expensive Corolla XRS.
