2010 Chrysler Sebring Used Price Estimates

The 2010 Chrysler Sebring convertible is an adequate product, especially with its available retractable hardtop. The sedan, however, is not competitive.

It must be tough working in Chrysler's marketing department these days. Can you think of a catchy tagline for the 2010 Chrysler Sebring? "Sebring: American for 'rental car'!" No, that won't do. But there's no other way to slice it -- the Sebring is best known for its omnipresence on rental lots, and that usually doesn't bode well for a car's competitiveness.

Let's be fair: The Sebring convertible actually isn't half bad. You can forget about engaging performance here, but if all you want is wind in your hair, room for four adults and a somewhat reasonable price tag, don't count the Sebring drop top out. Interestingly, it comes with your choice of two tops -- a vinyl soft top or (on the Limited only) a retractable hardtop. When raised, the hardtop mutes wind noise and provides coupelike functionality in inclement weather. The Sebring convertible also has an unusually large trunk. Performance shortcomings aside, it's a solid effort.

The Sebring sedan, on the other hand, is frankly about as bad as it gets in the midsize segment. It's below average in most respects, ranking far behind class leaders like the Ford Fusion, Mazda 6 and Nissan Altima. The base four-cylinder engine is adequately powerful and fuel-efficient, but it protests noisily when called into action. The optional 3.5-liter V6 disappoints in terms of fuel economy and acceleration. Other Sebring sedan low points include cheap interior materials, forgettable driving dynamics and brakes that don't inspire confidence.

Somewhat surprisingly, competition in the affordable four-seat convertible segment has dropped off this year, with the less roomy Ford Mustang V6 and Volkswagen Eos being the only other viable choices. Competition among midsize sedans, however, is downright cutthroat, and the Sebring sedan is simply out of its league. There are good reasons why the 2010 Chrysler Sebring is American for "rental car."

The 2010 Chrysler Sebring is available in sedan and convertible body styles. The sedan comes in Touring or Limited trim, while the convertible has three trim levels: LX, Touring and Limited.

The Touring sedan is the base model, and it comes standard with 16-inch steel wheels, air-conditioning, full power accessories, cruise control, a height-adjustable driver seat and a four-speaker CD stereo with satellite radio and an auxiliary input jack. Options are limited to Bluetooth (which includes an auto-dimming rearview mirror) and an anti-theft alarm. The Limited sedan steps up to 17-inch alloy wheels, a multifunction steering wheel, a six-speaker stereo with a six-CD/DVD changer, leather upholstery, an eight-way power driver seat, heated front seats, a fold-flat front-passenger seat, automatic headlamps and heated side mirrors.

Options on the Limited sedan are extensive, including 18-inch wheels, a sunroof, foglamps, Bluetooth, automatic climate control, a hard-drive-based navigation system with digital music storage and real-time traffic, and six Boston Acoustics speakers.

The LX convertible comes standard with the four-cylinder engine, a power vinyl soft top, 16-inch steel wheels, the Limited sedan's stereo, power front seats, air-conditioning and full power accessories. The Touring convertible adds the 2.7-liter V6, 17-inch alloy wheels (optional on LX), heated side mirrors, stain-repellent cloth upholstery, a cushioned center console with an armrest and a key fob with power-top controls (also optional on LX).

The Limited convertible gets a retractable hardtop, the 3.5-liter V6, dual exhaust tips, 18-inch alloys, a windscreen, leather upholstery with heated front seats, Boston Acoustics speakers, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, automatic climate control and remote start. Some of the Limited's features are available on the Touring as options. Other convertible extras, depending on trim, include Bluetooth, foglamps, a touchscreen stereo with digital music storage and a navigation system similar to the sedan's.

The 2010 Chrysler Sebring sedan is available only with front-wheel drive. Standard on both sedan trims and the LX convertible is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that sends 173 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque through a four-speed automatic transmission. In our performance testing, a sedan with this engine ran from zero to 60 mph in 9.6 seconds, an average time for this class. Fuel economy is 21 mpg city/30 mpg highway and 24 mpg combined (20/29/23 on the convertible). The Touring convertible comes with a 2.7-liter V6 good for 186 hp and 191 lb-ft of torque, also paired with a four-speed automatic. Fuel economy is rated at 18/26/21 mpg, a dismal performance given the meager power output.

Standard on the Limited convertible and optional on the Limited sedan is a 3.5-liter V6 that produces 235 hp and 232 lb-ft of torque and is attached to a six-speed automatic. In performance testing, a Sebring Limited convertible with the 3.5-liter V6 went from zero to 60 mph in 8.3 seconds; the lighter sedan should be about a half-second quicker. Fuel economy for both body styles is 16/27/20.

Standard on all Sebrings are four-wheel antilock brakes, active front head restraints and front-seat side airbags, while the sedan adds side curtain airbags. Stability control is optional on the Touring and Limited trims and unavailable on the base LX.

In government crash tests, the 2010 Chrysler Sebring sedan scored a perfect five stars for frontal crash protection, five stars for front side protection and four stars for rear side protection. The Sebring convertible scored four stars for frontal crash driver protection and five stars in all other categories. In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety frontal-offset and side crash tests, the Sebring sedan and convertible both scored the best rating of "Good."

Although the base four-cylinder delivers the best fuel economy, its coarse power delivery and old-school four-speed automatic pale in comparison to competing four-cylinders. The 3.5-liter V6 is the best power plant in the lineup, but it gets below-average fuel economy, and Sebrings so equipped trail most V6-powered rivals in acceleration. Ride quality is smooth and composed, but handling is unimpressive; moreover, when the convertible's optional steel hardtop is folded away in the trunk, its tail tends to bob up and down on undulating pavement. Additionally, in several braking tests, the 2010 Chrysler Sebring exhibited longer-than-average stopping distances and a mushy brake pedal.

The Sebring's interior looks nice from afar, but despite its art deco design language, it's rife with cheap, poorly textured plastics. Passenger space is about average, but the Sebring's low rear-seat cushion makes it feel less accommodating than rivals. The Sebring convertible comes off as more luxurious than its four-door hardtop sibling, and it also offers the most backseat space in its class. The bulky folded steel and glass panels of the optional retractable hardtop take up significant space in the trunk, but the Sebring nonetheless offers one of the most capacious top-down cargo holds, with room for two golf bags.

The 2010 Chrysler Sebring Convertible isn't as sporty as the Volkswagen Eos, nor does it have a "cool" factor like the Ford Mustang convertible, but it could suit those looking for an open-air cruiser. We found that the Sebring's soft suspension made for a comfortable ride and the 3.5-liter V6 engine that our tester came equipped with delivered enough power to pass lazy cars and go up hills effortlessly. The cloth top made the cabin surprisingly quiet, and even when retracted, wind noise was not a problem, especially with the windscreen up. The leather seats left something to be desired as we thought they were stiff. However, with options like the Uconnect entertainment and navigation system, along with the heated/cooled cup holders and hard top, the Sebring Convertible offers a lot for the money.

Inside the 2010 Chrysler Sebring Convertible, you'll find stain-resistant cloth seating, and aluminum accents. For those that want a more upscale look, leather and tortoise shell accents are also available. The Sebring Convertible's rear seat offers more room than those in the Volkswagen Eos and Ford Mustang, and the integrated seat belts in the front seats make it easy for rear seat passengers to get in and out. Optional tech extras – like the available Uconnect infotainment with navigation system and Bluetooth connectivity, and the heated/cooled cupholders – are nice additions to the cabin.

The Sebring Convertible shares the same front fascia as the Sedan, but only having two doors, the side and rear profiles take on a shape all their own. It is three inches longer than its four-door sibling, which allows for adequate cargo space in the trunk even when the roof is retracted. Chrysler claims the trunk is still big enough to fit two golf bags when the top is down. The addition of an optional hardtop gives the Sebring a more coupe-like feel, and the C-pillar has been reduced in size for better blindspot visibility when the top is up.

A base 2010 Chrysler Sebring LX Convertible includes a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with a four-speed automatic transmission, side seat-mounted airbags, power windows/locks/mirrors, remote keyless entry, six-disc CD player with an auxiliary jack and six speakers, power driver and passenger seats, 16-inch tires with full wheel covers, a hard tonneau cover and an automatic latching vinyl or cloth top.

The most notable options available for the Sebring Convertible are the retractable hard top, 3.5-liter V6 engine and the Uconnect entertainment, navigation and communication system. Also available are heated/cooled cupholders, remote start, heated front seats, heated/cooled cupholders, a windscreen, Boston Acoustics speaker system and an Electronic Stability Program (ESP) with traction control.

The Sebring Convertible's base four-cylinder engine delivers highway mileage of up to 29 miles per gallon, the Limited trim's 3.5-liter V6 offers 235 horsepower, and the Touring's 2.7-liter V6 balances the economy and power of the two while offering the Flex-Fuel capability of running on gasoline, E85 ethanol or any mixture of both. The 3.5-liter benefits from a six-speed automatic transmission with Auto Stick manual-shift capability, while the other engines are matched to a traditional four-speed automatic. Unlike the Sebring Sedan, the Convertible does not offer a four-wheel-drive powertrain.2.4-liter in-line 4173 horsepower @ 6000 rpm166 lb.-feet of torque @ 4400 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 20/292.7-liter V6 186 horsepower @ 6400 rpm191 lb.-ft of torque @ 4000 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/26 (Gas); 13/19 (E85)3.5-liter V6235 horsepower @ 6400 rpm232 lb.-ft of torque @ 4000 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/26

The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the 2010 Chrysler Sebring Convertible ranges from $ 28,500 for the base LX trim to about $ 33,500 for the Limited trim; a Limited trim with the hard top option and Uconnect navigation system goes for about $ 36,500. To get the best deal, be sure to take a look at the Fair Purchase Price before heading to the dealership to see what consumers in your area are currently paying for their Sebring convertible. Compared with drop-top offerings from Ford and Volkswagen, the Sebring Convertible's higher feature content at any given price is countered in part by lower projected resale values.
