Chrysler's Sebring convertible hasn't won much adoration from enthusiasts, but in two generations of ragtops, it's been a solid performer on the sales charts. Off and on for ten years, it's been the best-selling convertible in America, trading off in recent years with Ford's Mustang.

Chrysler offers three different engine options in the Sebring convertible for U.S. customers. The base engine is a 173-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, which delivers 23 miles per gallon in city and 31 miles per gallon in highway driving.
A 2.7-liter, flexible-fuel V-6 engine with 189 horsepower is the middle choice in the Sebring family. Teamed with a four-speed automatic, it's just adequate for most of the demands placed on the nearly 3500-pound Sebring.
We found a little more energy and verve in the new 3.5-liter V-6 in the Limited model. With 235 horsepower and a six-speed automatic transmission, it's markedly quieter and more pleasant to listen to than the smaller six, though the engine's additional power isn't HEMI-obvious. It's nearly as fuel-frugal as the 2.7-liter six, too.

If you're driving in Europe, you'll be able to sample a diesel-engined Sebring.

Full credit to Chrysler which actually bothered to engineer a 3 piece folding hardtop instead of going for the cheaper option. But why does the roof have to look so ugly when it is up? Maybe it is shaped like that to provide more rear head room. The joint between the roof and the top of the windscreen looks really ugly, and the side window profile is really horrible.

Are there any better alternatives in the American market?

Only Pntiac G6.

humm better, but not that much better, there is something about the hardtop, they just don't look as well designed as European folding hardtops.
