Chrysler Sebring Saloon (07-09) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 23 July 2007 Last Updated: 12 November 2008 Chrysler scored a big hit with the 300C executive saloon and the Sebring is an attempt to recreate that success in the family saloon market. Unfortunately it falls short in nearly every department. Chrysler thinks the Sebring is a rival for the upmarket likes of the Honda Accord, but it's not even up to the quality of much lower priced saloons like the Kia Magentis. It shares its proportions and engines with the cheaper Dodge Avenger and the Sebring is fairly roomy, well equipped and uses a VW diesel. But there's little to recommend it. The quality of the finish and interior materials is poor so it immediately feels cheap, while the driving experience is instantly forgettable. It lacks refinement and noise insulation plus as a new buy it's over-priced. 2 out of 5 Other Chrysler reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 2 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £18,400 - £19,400 Used price range: £3,928 - £7,501 View all used prices Get a Chrysler Sebring Saloon (07-09) information pack Next steps Chrysler Sebring Saloon cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
