The test car’s AutoStick automatic transmission, a $165 option that most people will want, gives the driver the option of shifting manually when conditions warrant. The V-6 is pretty smooth and reasonably powerful, making it the engine of choice because of the spirit with which it moves this four-passenger coupe. The 3.0-liter, 200-horsepower V-6 engine and five-speed manual transmission is standard on the LXi, while a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine is the base engine in the LX.
The test car was an LXi equipped with leather interior, 17-inch wheels, anti-lock brakes, traction control, side airbags and the AutoStick automatic transmission. The Sebring coupe comes in LX and LXi trim levels, with prices starting at $20,185 and $22,385, respectively. The Sebring’s new look appealed to me more with each passing day, and the light blue pearl paint, new for ’03, was stunning. The look, which Chrysler describes as “sophisticated,” has a distinctly European feel.Īround back, the trunk lid has been restyled, and inside it gets a new instrument panel and a general freshening that enhances its feeling of sophistication. The 2002 had an oval grille that mimicked the Concorde sedan, but the 2003 gets a completely new nose with larger fog lights and grille dominated by a larger Chrysler logo. Chrysler’s 2003 Sebring is a good example. While teenagers love to tear around in the former, the rest of us find life a lot more pleasing in the latter. Sport coupes seem to fall into two categories: high-powered, tricked out rockets for the ÒThe Fast and the FuriousÓ crowd and semi-luxurious two-doors for a mature audience that favors comfort over speed.
