The entirely changed Sebring coupe, which debuted in 1995, gains punch and panache. New engines up the power ante. Base powerplant is a 4-cylinder with 142 horsepower, while the V6 generates 200 horsepower (37 more horses than the predecessor). AutoStick, the automatic transaxle that can function as a manual gear shifter, is available with the V6 on the LXi model. AutoStick allows for gear skipping with two successive lever movements. The four speed automatic transmission is nearly transparent in its gear changes. On the visual side, a low-riding grille mouth presents an appealing front-end appearance.

Sebring coupe’s instrument panel assumes a lower position in the 2001 model year, while the speedometer gets a higher position as a singular gauge. Vents, gauges, and control knobs are easy-to-reach and use, except for the non-intuitive radio station set-buttons. Unlike some recent Chrysler vehicles, interior trims have a snug-fit/finish. Sebring coupe is a very nice handling car. (One reason: front and rear sway bars were redesigned.) Although seats score well on comfort, short stature drivers lose sight of the hood’s end-spot. The sleek-cropped side mirrors miss providing a large view area alongside and to the rear of the car. Fuel estimates on the 4-cylinder model are 20 city/27 highway. MSRP of the 2-door Sebring coupe LX with 4-cylinder is $19,910.
