Used 2004 Chrysler Sebring
Buying Guide for the Chrysler Sebring:
The mid-size sedan market
is not an easy place to ply your trade. Models in this segment
are really at the heart of the entire automotive landscape.
They must offer style, comfort, power, safety and, if possible,
do it all at a reasonable price. While the 2004 Chrysler Sebring
sedan may not be the flashist mid-size model out there, it
will certainly hold its own with any car in terms of the qualifications
listed above.
The Sebring sedan body features lines that are long, smooth
and punctuated by bold, round wheel arches and large, wraparound
lights. Beneath that skin lies a rigid, roomy structure that
rates five stars in government collision and rollover tests.
The Sebring's stiffness also provides an ideal platform for
its supple, all-independent suspension.
Under the Hood
Two engines are spread across
the front-wheel drive Sebring sedan’s two-model lineup. With
the entry-level LX model, the motor responsible for the driving
is a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder model that offers 150 horsepower
at 5200 rpm and 167 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm. Top-line
LXi models get up to speed quicker with a 2.7-liter V6 with
200 horsepower at 5800 rpm and 190 lb-ft of torque at 4850
rpm.
4-speed automatic is the transmission
mated to both of these capable engines. LXi models also feature
fog lights for those dreary evenings. Chrysler offers a special
Enthusiast Group with LXi models. Aptly named, it adds manual
shift capability, firm-feel power steering, sport suspension
and an electroluminescent instrument cluster.
Standard Features, Options
Packages and Style
The 2004 Sebring sedan has
four-doors and seats fives. Its wheelbase of 108 inches is
the longest of the three-model Sebring family (convertible
and coupe covered in separate reviews). With over 38 inches
of minimum rear leg room, the sedan can back up its claim
of spaciousness with real figures.
Standard equipment on both
2004 Sebring sedans includes wheel covers, air conditioning,
power steering, cloth upholstery, front bucket seats with
driver-seat lumbar adjustment, center console, split folding
rear seat and power mirrors, windows and door locks.
A tantalizing option for top-line
LXi models is a Luxury Group, which adds leather upholstery,
a leather-wrapped steering wheel with radio controls and a
premium sound system. It makes a nice package that much more
appealing. |
