#14 of 40 Re: Sebring Convertible Hardtop by toyeboy Jun 05, 2007 (10:46 am)
I was also interested in these when I first heard about them, as a possible replacement for my 1998 Sebring Jxi which I still drive everyday. It was frustrating not being able to see/drive one, and while looking at other hardtop convertibles, I noticed the common trait of NO TRUNK SPACE. I want to cruise to the beach, or home from the store with the top down and my belongings in the trunk. I ended up buying my wife the best looking convertible on the road for 2007, a Mustang GT, and kept my '98 Jxi. Replies to this message: bert9 (Sep 29, 2007 6:58 pm)
#15 of 40 2.7 Litre Engine by dispencer2 Jun 30, 2007 (3:55 pm)
This engine - used in the Touring model -once had sludge problems. Does anyone associated with Chrysler on this forum know if this is the same engine or have improvements been made to eliminate the sludge problem? I change oil every 3,000 miles at a dealer anyway regardless of what car or truck I have. I wonder if I should get the 3.5 engine instead although I won't get the hardtop convertible. I like trunk space. Replies to this message: jpf (Jul 01, 2007 3:35 pm)

Replying to: dispencer2 (Jun 30, 2007 3:55 pm) I believe Chrysler has done some modifications to the 2.7. If the difference in price between the 2.7 and 3.5 isn't much I would go with the 3.5. Otherwise, get an extended powertrain warranty for the 2.7 and use synthetic oil. Good luck.

#18 of 40 it is what it is, not what it looks like it is. by greenhornets Jul 08, 2007 (12:16 pm)
Chrysler should have kept the name "Le Baron" as it said nothing of a sporting nature. On the other hand the name "sebring", when attached to this vehicle becomes offensive to me. But frankly my dear, I don't give a damn because I really like this Chrysler convertible, though in the soft top version, name or no name. It is handsome and comfortable with power more than sufficient for a touring car on American highways. The price is reasonable and I'm sure negoationable, through hungry Chrysler dealers. I would prefer that it were a Saturn Aura XR convertible, but, alas Saturn does not offer a touring size convertible. I think I'll buy one,.....as a second car to my Wonderful Saturn XR sedan, thus answering both my masculine and feminine sides. A very nice car, this Chrysler in spite of it's Ill chosen name.
