2008 Chrysler Sebring Sedan

The Sebring is a mainstream mid-size family sedan that has been offered by Chrysler since the mid-'90s.

The second generation was launched in 2007 and features updated styling that brings the car in line with other modern Chryslers.

The Sebring can be configured to suit various tastes and budgets. Three trim lines and three engines are offered.

All three trims (LX, Touring and Limited) come standard with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 173 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque. It's good for 24 miles per gallon in the city, 32 on the highway.

The Touring is available with a flex-fuel gas-ethanol V6, displacing 2.7 liters and rated at 189 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque. Mileage is 22 mpg city, 29 highway.

The top-of-the-line Limited comes equipped with a 3.5-liter high-output V6 with 235 horsepower and 232 pound-feet of torque, good for 19 city mpg and 28 highway mpg.

No manual transmission is offered on the Sebring. The LX and Touring have a four-speed automatic while the Limited comes with Chrysler's six-speed AutoStick, which offers clutchless manumatic shifting if the driver is in a sporty mood.

The Limited is also available with a sure-footed all-wheel-drive system that has traction control and an Electronic Stability Program.

Other highlights of the Limited include leather seats with turtle accents, and a six-speaker 276-watt Boston Acoustics stereo system.

Available on the Touring and Limited is Chrysler's MyGIG infotainment system which incorporates a voice-activated navigation system, DVD playback and a 20-gigabyte hard drive with integrated USB port for storing photos and music.
