2001 Chrysler Sebring LXI Coupe | Retro Review

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

Love this car, very unique imo and something special

The motor is 6G72 correct or no?

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.

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.

Remember manual transmissions?

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

These things were junk.

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

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.

Dang an Eclipse? Wow

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

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

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

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

How are all of these older videos so high quality?

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.

These aged pretty well honestly!

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.

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

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

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

This could have been the 200.

Speaking of ears of corn, check out the driver.

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

Looks like a jelly bean

Now all we have is a minivan

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

That styling did not age well at all

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.

This is also a DSM car which is funny.

So classy

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

Back when Chrysler cars... existed.

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

I haven’t seen one of these in ages

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

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.

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

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.

I really like the look of it.

They were both beautiful cars.

Boy that's an interesting looking Aston Martin

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

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.

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.

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

Wow! Thats hardly heinous looking at all 😂

The v6 worked better with the manual.
