2001 Chrysler Sebring LXI Coupe | Retro Review

The v6 worked better with the manual.

Wow! Thats hardly heinous looking at all 😂

After inflation, that's $35k for the base model and over $39k for the LXi. As tested price of $42k. YIKES!

That mitsubishi 3.0 was a POS. Lifter issues and valve seal problems like crazy. I had the DOHC version. You have to know engines well to keep them going.

It would be hard for young people to understand how impressive the Sebring was when it first came out in the early 90s. The design was literally gorgeous compared to its rivals.

Had one of these with a 5 speed a 3.0 Very fun for what it was. At the time it was 4 years old 60k miles for 10k. Dealership said no one wanted the manual. At around 83k i started to hear a really bad rattle on start up. I guess that particular 3.0 started eating oil lol

Boy that's an interesting looking Aston Martin

They were both beautiful cars.

I really like the look of it.

In 2000, I bought a used '05 Chrysler Concorde. With no fog lights. For it's weight, it had only 166 hp and felt very lackluster with power. What a lemon, lots of weatherstripping issues, electrical problems, mechanical repairs....never again. The Chrysler line up is very slim these days for good reason. I now drive a 2007 Lincoln Towncar and the repairs are pretty much kept to a minimum with 100 more horse power. Nothing beats air suspension. I'm much more happier now with my TownCar.

Ok here, from Chrysler Concorde, the good: Never stalled, a good 3.5 liter V6 engine, protected me in a crash in the city.

The bad: After taking three passengers and some luggage to the lake ( 2 hours drive) the Concorde was steaming and heated up for a V6, steering issues (alignment), Chrysler wouldn't help my auto repair shop with getting a new computer to replace the one that went bad, easily rusted when I wash the car every week and drive on country roads, wouldn't start in winter after 8 years of buying the car, etc.

Damn that's an UGLY late to the 90s party jellybean design!

The what? Who even remembers this thing? HAHAHAHA If you own one of these today or have seen one on the road in the last 5 years, I'd love to hear about it. I bet 99.9% of these are in the junkyard. Mitsu/Chrysler quality, lol.

Ahhhh, yes, I got the Chrysler Sebring coupe pea 🫛 edition with the optional corn 🌽 inspired interior.

I haven’t seen one of these in ages

I used to build these in Normal IL, now where they build Rivian.

Back when Chrysler cars... existed.

A v6 manual that's still on the road has got to be one of the rarest unicorns out there

So classy

This is also a DSM car which is funny.

I have to say, it’s still a good looking car. And I say that while admitting I haven’t liked many Chrysler designs in the last several decades.

That styling did not age well at all

I remember getting in one back when I was an oil changer. I was thrown off with it’s eclipse interior.

Now all we have is a minivan

Looks like a jelly bean

Loved by divorcées, retirees, and rental fleets everywhere — aka, Florida.

Speaking of ears of corn, check out the driver.

This could have been the 200.

I would never have known until I watch this video that this Sebring used the same chassis as the Mitsubishi eclipse which is crazy!!!

Neighbor had one when I 1st met them in 2012. Just sat there. Never driven
They were old and I helped fill up tires. They passed in 2022 and family wanted gone. I jumped the battery and it cranked right up. Impressive. AC even still worked

In HS (2019) my classmate/ team mate had this, idk about now but i found it pretty cool

They always looked great. At best you could say it was a sporty-looking coupe. It’s powertrain never matched the great bodywork.

I’m not saying it should have been a Mustang GT or Camaro Z28 beater but more investment in its powertrain could have made it true performance car competitor with performance to back up its looks.

These aged pretty well honestly!

I helped my salesman buddy deliver one of these to Vale, CO - I was the only manual driver he knew that could do it - and he was driving so fast that I almost lost control behind him through the mountain roads, but man, that coupe was a pretty great car to drive.

How are all of these older videos so high quality?

Out of the three designs. Sebring , stratus rt. , eclipse . I think the stratus is the best looking .Don’t like the ribs on the side of the eclipse

The standard ride height makes it look like a cracked-out crossover lol.

I did not know it shared a platform, but I totally see it now.

Not (1) driving daily on the road today even though it’s a “New Millennium” car 😢…..

Dang an Eclipse? Wow

This are as rare as hens teeth these days. That said, I’ve always thought this was an extremely handsome design. It gave the Chrysler design language at the time more finesse than some of their more “baroque” offerings did.

Here in Vermont, these don't even really exist in junkyards anymore, let alone out on the road lol handsome looking vehicles though.

These things were junk.

I'd overall say that jellybean style hasn't aged well but thid car just simply makes me nostalgic for the early 2000's.

Remember manual transmissions?

Had one, manual tranny, I'm sure I could beat that 0-60 time in that thing, and it had a different front end, but I like that original look too. Loved it. After 2 years of my nephew nagging me, I sold it to him. He had a wreck, got it fixed and traded it in. Kinda wish I still had it.

Back when I was a tween, one of the moms at school had a black one of these... looked great back then, but looking at the maw grill and front overhang now, it's definitely best appreciated from the rear 1/4 view.

The motor is 6G72 correct or no?

Love this car, very unique imo and something special

My v6 sebring was cooler than my 2001 v6 mustang manual, better mpg and the ride was plush!
