2. The Car Family

The 2008 Chrysler Sebring gets a tepid review and a grade of "D" from The Car Family, each member of which offers a different perspective. The Sebring's handling is considered fine, but the base engine is underpowered and the interior materials are found lacking.

Consumer Guide performs road-testing on many of the top-selling vehicles on the U.S. market, ranking them against a class average. The reviews' thorough nature makes this a valuable data source, even though some of the numerical ratings can be difficult to read. The 2008 Chrysler Sebring's total score is well below the average for this segment, and its numbers for cabin room and comfort, cargo space and overall value are especially weak.

Car and Driver conducted its last head-to-head road test of the Chrysler Sebring in 2007, the model year of its most recent redesign. The Sebring competes against perennial favorites like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry in this evaluation. Of the six participants, the Sebring places dead last, winning approval only for relatively trivial design details like its easy-folding rear seat and innovative map light.

Edmunds.com hasn't included the Chrysler Sebring sedan in a head-to-head test in several years, but editors do publish a comprehensive standalone evaluation for the 2008 model. While the Sebring's long list of available features and high-tech innovations gets a big thumbs-up from reviewers here, their ultimate conclusion is that the Sebring sedan "is outdone by just about every other vehicle in its class."
