2008 Chrysler Sebring

The controversial 2007 redesign ruined the graceful styling of the car, but ushered in a number of improvements. However, those improvements still didn't make this a good choice -- although better crash test scores are among them. With its taller roofline, interior access is easier and once inside you'll find the controls are very straightforward. However, the passenger compartment is let down by an abundance of hard plastics, along with poor fit and finish. Ride and handling also leave much to be desired.

Brand context

About Chrysler

One of the most storied brands in American automotive history has been reduced to a single model—a minivan that is sold as both the Pacifica and the Voyager. Before that, Walter Chrysler’s car company was one of the “Big Three” automakers in the U.S., responsible for such legendary nameplates as the 300, Airflow, Imperial, and New Yorker. Today, Chrysler is part of Stellantis, a Netherlands-based automotive conglomerate that also owns Alfa Romeo, Citroen, Dodge, DS, Fiat, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, Opel, Peugeot, Ram, and Vauxhall. The future of Chrysler remains to be seen. But those in the market for a Pacifica should know that it lags behind other minivans in Consumer Reports’ road tests and reliability scores. The plug-in hybrid Pacifica has below-average reliability. Used car shoppers in the market for a traditional American luxury sedan may be interested in the Chrysler 300, which was largely unchanged between 2011 and 2023—but should be aware that Chrysler sits at the bottom of our used car reliability rankings.
