Thanks for jump starting this thread. I hadn't seen the reply to my message I posted soon after I bought my Sebring.
 
Anyway, time for an update. I've had my 3.5L Sebring for three months now and the smile on my face when I drive it is still as big as ever.
 
Today we had our first significant snowstorm and I was interested to see how it would do. I was surprised at how well it handled in the snow. The combination of ABS, traction control, ESP and front wheel drive made the trip home from work enjoyable.
 
The remote start, that I've tested up to 660 ft so far, has really come in handy on cold evenings when I get off work, especially when there's ice on the windshield. By the time I get to my car no more ice. The heated front seats can really make things toasty.
 
Anyway, I'm still very much enjoying my Sebring playground on wheels, whether it is the king of the 0-60 time or not. I think if a quick 0-60 was my primary concern I'd take my Viper out to play more often.

Test Drive Avenger 4 cylinder by badgerfan

I test drove a 4 cylinder Avenger last week, mostly because the dealer was having a big promotion and giving away some freebies.
  
I was highly unimpressed. The 4 cylinder version is ridiculously noisy when pushed even a little bit, and it had to downshift two gears under even fairly slight throttle application at about 40-50 mph on flat roads. Hard to believe Chrysler put effort into a new model that performs so poorly. I am not new car market, but I quickly decided even if I was, this would not be the vehicle of choice. My 2000 Taurus SES with the Duratech V-6 is a much more satisfying vehicle, and I am going to keep it at least another 3-4 years. My sister-in law's new 4 cylinder Hyundai Sonata was much quieter and smoother than this Avenger
