I owned a 2001 Sebring Coupe with the 3.0 V6 and 5 speed manual. Had to special order it. Never had a major issue: just oil/tires/brakes for 12 years. Did the timing belt/water pump at 100k ... The V6 was SOHC but 24v and made ~200hp ...and with the 5spd, was quite fun to drive. I'd still be driving it if I hadn't been rear ended a few years ago when it had 180k miles.
I liked those. The higher trim levels with the V6 had wheels that made the car look so much better. I have the peasant 4 cyl automatic with hubcaps as a 2nd car. Still serves me well though.
My dad had the ‘03 facelift LXI V6 in light blue, but automatic. The manuals are really rare. He only sold it because he got sideswiped and it was IMPOSSIBLE to find parts. Quite a good car for a Chrysler...which makes sense because it’s a better styled eclipse.

@@koolkitties8552 They were seen as throwaway cars unfortunately. I'm not sure why this Sebring got the 4G64 and the Stratus got the 4G63, the clearly better engine. Oh well. The 4G64 I think had drive by wire, that may be why. The 3.0 6, I think was called the 6G72, is a great engine with an amazing torque curve, very flat and it comes on around 2000rpm. I thoroughly enjoyed using it to destroy the local twinkle teen ricers. 😂😁
Depends on which one you get ... This kind certainly were. Friend had one called a Limited - Had a V6, leather, moonroof ... Was fairly quick and handled awesome.
Fun fact: the 2-doors were based on Mitsubishi platforms (Galant/Eclipse) and the convertibles were based on the contemporaneous Chrysler midsize sedan platform (JA /JR), sharing styling cues but no body panels. The 4-door that replaced the Cirrus also used the JR platform.
Chrysler Seabring: The car for pulling up outside the flea market, opening the truck, and selling individual pairs of balled up socks, novelty back scratchers, and loose hot wheels while chain smoking cheap cigarettes that smell like burning tires.
Hey Roman, Mr. Regular. Thank you for taking regular cars and putting some philosophy into it. These especially regular reviews are the ones that leave me thinking well after the video ends. Keep up the great work.
The Sebring and Stratus coupes never got the 2.7 v6. Both had Mitsubishi's 3.0 v6. In fact, these cars were built by Mitsubishi in the same factory as the Eclipse. The Sebring sedan and convertible are essentially different cars than this. I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned.
Here before the title typo is fixed Chrysler Seabring Also I've never seen a 2 door Sebring before, it's really weird seeing one especially since my grandparents used to have a Sebring
10 years ago, give or take, Sebring was one of the ultimate beater imports in Russia. They went real cheap on the used market, they didn't rust, they had passable mileage and they got people where they needed without breaking. And somehow everyone born in, like, 2002 or earlier remembers being inside a Sebring at least once, but hardly anyone has ever owned one new.
I will always remember the Sebring with a certain nostalgia. As a kid my parents both had full-time jobs, and my dad's was hundreds of miles away and he only came home on weekends. This is likely due to the fact that these were the only jobs he could find right after the 2008 recession. So they hired a babysitter who basically raised my sister and I for most of our childhood, and she had a blue 2005 Chrysler Sebring. She was an awesome babysitter who took us to all manner of cool places in that car. Lots of my childhood memories started in the back seat of a blue 4 door Chrysler Sebring that smelled like cloth seats.

To make things worse, the rental fleets are these cars up. They’d auction them off after putting 30,000 miles on the clock in a year for about $13,000, which was about $9K back of book. It was absolutely catastrophic for consumers who purchased one at a dealership. They could easily find themselves $16K upside down 18 months into a contract.
@@PrydeWater901 Oh sure. The only time we sold one of those was when we had to bail someone out of a giant wad of negative equity. The resulting loan on a used car would be equally catastrophic.... usually 135 % loan to value, 8+ percent interest, on an 84 month loan.
@@ellisjackson3355 The electronics could be a bit sketch, but otherwise they were pretty solid for the time. They get a bad rap sometimes because they ended up in cars that tanked in resale value. The cheapest cars usually end up in the hands of those least likely to maintain and care for them. 3.0 Eclipses and 3000GTs got thrashed, Sebrings are still out there and Monteros aren't hard to find. The same can't be said of the 2.7s.
My dad bought one brand new in 2003 from the chrysler/dodge dealership he worked at. His had the 3.0 v6 and it actually had a little get up and go. He always told me he would give it to me when he decided to get a new car but unfortunately that never happened. He got in an accident and it was totaled and he actually died 2 days later unrelated to the accident he had health problems from years of drinking.
That is a Mitsubishi Galant with 2 doors every corner of that car screams Mitsubishi from the outside door handles to the dash board and the shifter knob
Had one with an electrical fault in the horn, causing it to go off on its own, so it got disconnected, u could still hear the relay spaz behind the dash on occasion.
@@kimberlybrookes5844 My mitsubishi galant had that same issue, and since some parts on this car were mitsubishi it wouldnt surprise me if the horn was too.
My friend had a Stratus coupe brand new off the lot optioned just like this Sebring. The platform made so much more sense to me as a cheap sports coupe, and it was perfect for my friend because it wasn't fast enough to get him in trouble
As a former owner of two Sebring convertibles (1996 2.5 V6 and 2001 2.7 V6) I must say that I really liked both of them because they were surprisingly reliable and extremely practical compared to other convertibles. It's very hard to find a convertible that can accommodate 4 adults in relative comfort in terms of legroom, with a decent trunk (even with the top down) and a low cost of ownership.
Has he done a Pontiac sunfire yet? Might break his liking everything streak. I'm sure you can find a local single mom working at a gas station that you can borrow one off of
I actually have a red one lol replaced the fogged out headlights with black ones, and as for music collection nothing but Pink Floyd, I am 61 after all....
I feel like it’s standard for cars from that era. I bought my 05 pt cruiser came with the headlights like that. My moms 2004 Honda Odyssey came like that. My dads 2004 Ford freestyle came like that.
And sometime later, you sit at home, musing over the bullet you dodged. Moral of the story: Don't settle for weak, boring relationships, life is too short to just go along.
I have one of these. It still looks sharp 14 later, the trunk is ginormous, the back seat fits real people, the 4 disc CD sounds great, it gets decent MPGs, has lots of storage inside, comfortable seats, rides smooth and handles sharply, the power is quite reasonably quick and it is cheap to insure. And nobody else has one or has really ever seen one. The downside is that it is a stretched Eclipse and getting info for repairs is very hit or miss. You basically have to buy the Sebring and the Eclipse Hayes manuals to get the whole enchilada. I will keep mine till it drops dead.
The 2 door Sebring isn't as bad as the 4 door, because it's not the same car. At all. The 2 door is based on the equivalent aged Eclipse, and thus shares its engines, the 2.4L 4 cyl and 3.0L V6 (And is the same as the Stratus coupe) The 4 door that's got the infamous 2.7L V6 is by no means related to the coupe in any way but name. Even its 2.4L is a different motor than the 2.4 in the coupe. Fun fact, the convertible is related to the sedan, and not the coupe.
"The 2 door isn't as bad as the 4 door." It's even worse than the 4 door. Try to find a Stratus/Sebring coupe or Eclipse without a cracked dashboard or torn leather. Enjoy having one cupholder that's too deep for anything besides travel mugs, and another one under the lid for the center console. And be careful not to slip on the puddle of oil that'll be leaking out from under it. The 2.7 was honestly not a bad engine if you took care of it right. My cousins had a 99 Intrepid with that mill and it kept going for almost 250k with nothing but oil changes. Had it not been rear-ended they'd probably still be driving it today. It also made more power at normal RPM's, as opposed to the Mitsu 3.0 which has its peak horsepower at like one very specific speed.
This Sebring coupe was mechanically different from the sedan. The sedan upgraded to the 2.7 Dodge motor. This car is a Mitsubishi eclipse underneath (the one that's ribbed) with a 3.0 v6 option
I had this very car and I liked it fine. I changed the oil every 3000 miles because of a faulty oil return being too narrow. Otherwise it was a comfortable car to drive. I drove it easy for 13 years until I got rearended and had to write it off. I had no issues with this car at all.
I drive a 2013 Chrysler 200 as my daily, I agree with everything he still said. Even though the 200 was made years after this, it's still surprisingly rigid, yet it's no longer as loud. I have a v6 limited model and I actually enjoy it, sure you can definately see areas where they skipped out on a few things to save costs (my window switch panel fell out the other week) but it's still a decently reliable and comfortable car. Cheap too.
2.7L v6? you might want to check that. since this car (and for that matter, the dodge stratus coupe, its racier brethren) is little more than a stretched mitsuishi eclipse, the v6 should be the 3.0 6G72 v6. the 2.7 v6 is found on the sedans and verts and despite sharing the name, are totally unrelated
I wondered that too. If so, then Kimi's stories would be waaayyy crazier than "guy at Starbucks bought me coffee," and they'd probably be more likely to be true.
@@ellisjackson3355 Lol, true. For now all we can do is wait for her to get out of jail and Bolian to get her some facetime on VinWiki's channel. Mr. Regular & Kimi collab story on VinWiki would be another level!
The Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus coupes were based on the Mitsubishi Eclipse and styled to look like the sedans/convertible. Point being they shared *nothing with the sedans/convertible* which were *entirely different cars.* So when you say "Chrysler Sebring" most people mean the sedan/convertible and this is literally not _that_ Chrysler Sebring.
I knew Mr. Regular would get to this car eventually. I suggested it about 4 years ago, when I still had my convertible JXi that over the years I grew right into, it being that car that no one noticed, including the cops. Anyway when I suggested it, Mr. Regular rejected it in a mini monologue written out in his metaphorically way that felt like a review and it satisfied me and kept me locked into this channel.

I was like who the tuck is this directed at? Lol
I felt bad for Sebring owners watching this review lol

That is a Mitsubishi Galant with 2 doors every corner of that car screams Mitsubishi from the outside door handles to the dash board and the shifter knob
Had one with an electrical fault in the horn, causing it to go off on its own, so it got disconnected, u could still hear the relay spaz behind the dash on occasion.
Jkenville91 I have the same problem with my Jeep Liberty! What is going on with Chrysler lol
@@kimberlybrookes5844 My mitsubishi galant had that same issue, and since some parts on this car were mitsubishi it wouldnt surprise me if the horn was too.

Thanks, Ma.

My friend had a Stratus coupe brand new off the lot optioned just like this Sebring. The platform made so much more sense to me as a cheap sports coupe, and it was perfect for my friend because it wasn't fast enough to get him in trouble

been rewatching a lot of RCR vids this past week, and I really appreciate how much Roman there is in this vid
As a former owner of two Sebring convertibles (1996 2.5 V6 and 2001 2.7 V6) I must say that I really liked both of them because they were surprisingly reliable and extremely practical compared to other convertibles. It's very hard to find a convertible that can accommodate 4 adults in relative comfort in terms of legroom, with a decent trunk (even with the top down) and a low cost of ownership.
Chrysler Sebring: the official car of overheating on expressway
I used to own one and I kid you not, every two months it broke the plastic thermostat housing
That's also the Mazda 626 (from personal experience)
I was literally just watching The Office and then i see you uploaded this. This isn't a coincidence.
So was I, what a strange coincidence.
Has he done a Pontiac sunfire yet? Might break his liking everything streak. I'm sure you can find a local single mom working at a gas station that you can borrow one off of
Nice 3G Eclipse
Love the albums that match the kind of person you'd expect to drive this car...
I think it looks nice. Not in gray though. Gray cars make me angry.
It would look so much better if washed and vacuumed. Is it a rule that all cars reviewed must be filthy inside and out?
gigdrummer it kinda adds to the fact that this one one of this most disgusting modern cars available
Tibor Klein tf 😂
I actually have a red one lol replaced the fogged out headlights with black ones, and as for music collection nothing but Pink Floyd, I am 61 after all....
It’s a crime that this video has such low views. This is one of my favorite videos on UA-cam, not just on your channel!
The one headlight being new and the other one being original bothers me greatly lol 🤣
I feel like it’s standard for cars from that era. I bought my 05 pt cruiser came with the headlights like that. My moms 2004 Honda Odyssey came like that. My dads 2004 Ford freestyle came like that.
This made me go in a trip about compromise in relationships.
Sometimes, necessary, sometimes you just gotta say it's bullshit.
And sometime later, you sit at home, musing over the bullet you dodged. Moral of the story: Don't settle for weak, boring relationships, life is too short to just go along.
@@matthewkoch6937 Precisely, my man.
"thank god I got out of this wild ride"
So many shared parts with the Mitsubishi Eclipse of the time.
That's a good thing, right?
None of the good parts tho
I was about to comment that too. The interior is riddled with eclipse parts lol
It IS an Eclipse. Its built by Mitsubishi in Normal, Illinois
Chrysler Sebring coupe. A 3G Eclipse in a Chrysler halloween costume.
The interior looks like a crime scene. Good job Ben!

I have one of these. It still looks sharp 14 later, the trunk is ginormous, the back seat fits real people, the 4 disc CD sounds great, it gets decent MPGs, has lots of storage inside, comfortable seats, rides smooth and handles sharply, the power is quite reasonably quick and it is cheap to insure. And nobody else has one or has really ever seen one. The downside is that it is a stretched Eclipse and getting info for repairs is very hit or miss. You basically have to buy the Sebring and the Eclipse Hayes manuals to get the whole enchilada. I will keep mine till it drops dead.
The 2 door Sebring isn't as bad as the 4 door, because it's not the same car. At all.
The 2 door is based on the equivalent aged Eclipse, and thus shares its engines, the 2.4L 4 cyl and 3.0L V6 (And is the same as the Stratus coupe)
The 4 door that's got the infamous 2.7L V6 is by no means related to the coupe in any way but name. Even its 2.4L is a different motor than the 2.4 in the coupe.
Fun fact, the convertible is related to the sedan, and not the coupe.
"The 2 door isn't as bad as the 4 door."
It's even worse than the 4 door. Try to find a Stratus/Sebring coupe or Eclipse without a cracked dashboard or torn leather. Enjoy having one cupholder that's too deep for anything besides travel mugs, and another one under the lid for the center console. And be careful not to slip on the puddle of oil that'll be leaking out from under it.
The 2.7 was honestly not a bad engine if you took care of it right. My cousins had a 99 Intrepid with that mill and it kept going for almost 250k with nothing but oil changes. Had it not been rear-ended they'd probably still be driving it today. It also made more power at normal RPM's, as opposed to the Mitsu 3.0 which has its peak horsepower at like one very specific speed.
Basically the predecessor to my car
This Sebring coupe was mechanically different from the sedan. The sedan upgraded to the 2.7 Dodge motor. This car is a Mitsubishi eclipse underneath (the one that's ribbed) with a 3.0 v6 option
"it kicks down and just gets louder" like the Mazda Protege I took driving lessons in, then
it downshifts mostly in your heart, where it matters

I had this very car and I liked it fine. I changed the oil every 3000 miles because of a faulty oil return being too narrow. Otherwise it was a comfortable car to drive. I drove it easy for 13 years until I got rearended and had to write it off. I had no issues with this car at all.
I drive a 2013 Chrysler 200 as my daily, I agree with everything he still said. Even though the 200 was made years after this, it's still surprisingly rigid, yet it's no longer as loud. I have a v6 limited model and I actually enjoy it, sure you can definately see areas where they skipped out on a few things to save costs (my window switch panel fell out the other week) but it's still a decently reliable and comfortable car. Cheap too.
I want to hug Mr regular
2.7L v6? you might want to check that. since this car (and for that matter, the dodge stratus coupe, its racier brethren) is little more than a stretched mitsuishi eclipse, the v6 should be the 3.0 6G72 v6. the 2.7 v6 is found on the sedans and verts and despite sharing the name, are totally unrelated
True. Most people are mixing them up. Chrysler and their marketing team are to blame for that.
Regular posts vid, I bring my see.
Wooo! Lancaster Avenue ramp to 422 West! My favorite left hand merge.
The real question here is, is that the same Kimmy who Ed Bolian has been telling about?
Omg
I wondered that too. If so, then Kimi's stories would be waaayyy crazier than "guy at Starbucks bought me coffee," and they'd probably be more likely to be true.
@@ellisjackson3355 Lol, true. For now all we can do is wait for her to get out of jail and Bolian to get her some facetime on VinWiki's channel. Mr. Regular & Kimi collab story on VinWiki would be another level!
I believe the coupe is based on a Mitsu platform, while the convertible and sedan are a Chrysler platform (so they’re worse?)
Correct!
Challenge for All: After you watch this, go forth and watch one of the many Chrysler Sebring 2.7L self-destruction videos... WITHOUT LAUGHING!!!
The Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus coupes were based on the Mitsubishi Eclipse and styled to look like the sedans/convertible. Point being they shared *nothing with the sedans/convertible* which were *entirely different cars.* So when you say "Chrysler Sebring" most people mean the sedan/convertible and this is literally not _that_ Chrysler Sebring.

my favorite quote from this channel to date: "he wants change, but not so much of it that he has to" .
Id love to see a point-counter point type video, where you two debate whether a car is good or bad
I knew Mr. Regular would get to this car eventually.
I suggested it about 4 years ago, when I still had my convertible JXi that over the years I grew right into, it being that car that no one noticed, including the cops. Anyway when I suggested it, Mr. Regular rejected it in a mini monologue written out in his metaphorically way that felt like a review and it satisfied me and kept me locked into this channel.
"A car for the man who writes his will in comic sans"... Ha so good.
I appreciate this artistic direction that feels like a throw back yet finds a new direction.
The front has not aged at all.
Hell it probably looked bad when it came out.
what's with that dent in the top back? how does that even happen?
