Price wise, the base model of the Limited model starts at $38,640. The price as tested was $40,595; including the Customer Preferred Package 28G encompassing a 6-disc in-dash CD player, heated seats, a full-size spare tire and a dark taupe cloth top. If the price sounds a little steep, take this into consideration. The Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible Turbo, with only 150 horsepower, half the size and back seats fit only for kids and contortionists, hovers around $37,000.
The Sebring, on the other hand, is fit for four adults. I know, as I spent much of the week driving my mom and her friends around town - they fell head over heals in love with the car. And why shouldn't they feel amorous? It's a car that regular folks can dream of owning one day if they play their cards right, a luxury convertible without the luxury price tag. Hey, like the old man in the parking lot said, "I think it's a Mercedes." Need I say more?
