2002 Chrysler Sebring. This car is the next step up from the Plymouth Breeze or the Dodge Stratus. We recommend the thrifty 4 cylinder over the problematic six cylinder. These vehicles are stylish and peppy even with the 4cylinder. The transmission has evolved into a reliable one, providing a departure from its precursors, the Breeze and Stratus. Overall, not a bad vehicle, but, if you can, opt out for something else in the midsize four door category.

Pros: Style and performance

Cons: Problem 6 cylinder and rot manifestation on the front hood and lower body panels.
