The Sebring Coupe comes in two trim levels: $17,660 LX and $21,760 LXi.Our Sebring Coupe LXi came standard with air conditioning, power everything, a CD player and aluminum wheels. Options included leather trim and six-way adjustable driver's seat ($630); anti-lock brakes ($600); power sunroof and multi-function rearview mirror ($640); and upgraded stereo ($325). Subtracting a $630 discount brought the total to $23,325. By comparison, the Chevrolet Monte Carlo Z34 lists for $21,095, while a Toyota Solara ranges from $19,058 to more than $26,800. The Sebring LX comes standard with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder, 16-valve engine and 5-speed manual transmission. Four-speed automatic transmissions are optional. A 2.5-liter, six-cylinder, 24-valve engine is optional on the LX and standard on the LXi. Five-speed manuals are not available on the LXi. Our LXi sported an elegant "cafe latte" clear coat. Elegant is actually a good word to describe the Sebring coupe's all-around appeal. Its contoured and windswept lines, predatory-looking air dam, and compact grille convey a sense of motion and style. The Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Avenger share basic platforms with the Mitsubishi Galant and are built at the same Normal, Illinois, plant that assembles the Galant and Eclipse. The Chrysler Sebring Coupe should not be confused with the Chrysler Sebring Convertible. Though they share styling cues, they are built on entirely different platforms and have little in common other than their names.
