I miss mine so much, I had a 1999 JXI in high school and absolutely loved it. It had its issues but when I got her she was already 15 years old. I ran into an older man a few years later and turns out he had actually owned the car before me! He had traded it in for a newer Chrysler, he was so happy it still looked good. Nice old man who has since passed on along with the Sebring. Good memories!!
When these came out, I knew I wanted one!! But I couldn't afford it. Then, 2 years later...in 1998, and a job relocation to Texas, and I suddenly could afford one, a used one. So I did, bought the coolest 1997 JX on the lot. Was basically a JXi, without the leather, cloth roof and alloy wheels. Former Avis rental in Hawaii....it was a great car! Was colored Iris...which is grey, but at dusk/dawn, it could look purple. Traded it in on Halloween 2001 for a brand new 2001 Limited Convertible model. Fully loaded. It's still in my garage today. Runs/looks great after 120k miles!
I had a 2000 Sebring convertible as a graduation present it was such a great car! That V6 was so smooth and had great power! And I had the JXI model just one down from the top of the line had leather and the infinity sound system! All of my friends were so jealous lolz
Back in highschool i was always jealous of my friends cars because they got all the neat tuner cars that was all the rage (thanks to fast and furious) and i just drove my moms V6 Sebring. Well ironically i would smoke all of them in a race and they were the ones who were actually jealous lol. Car was fun as i remember. It just burned alot of oil and leaked out of the roof. Honestly i wouldn't mind getting another one if it was a hard top with a manual transmission.
Because the Sebring convertible and Cirrus (Sebring sedan for redesigned models) were built by Chrysler. The Sebring Coupe and Avenger (Stratus Coupe for redesigned models) were built at DSM by Mitsubishi, they're basically Mitsubishi Galant coupes with Eclipse interiors.
There is some application for drum.even in modern times. They work and are inexpensive. Some evs are using them since they regen and dont need brake as.much typically

this was such a great looking car
Needed roll over bars :)
No it didn't, that would add about 300lbs of weight and about $1500 cost to the car.
2024 here , my 2001 sebring convertible is running strong at 235k kms everything works and she just glides along like a bird
Chrysler Cirrus in Mexico and Chrysler Stratus elsewhere.
Im currently restoring mine.
Never understood why the convertible had the bland Interior of the Cirrus Sedan instead of the one from Sebring Coupe
