Chrysler Sebring Declared the World's Worst Car

Filed in archive Chrysler by Philip Powell on October 06, 2008

2009 Sebring Convertible

The worst car in the world? I think not. I've driven many worse cars than the Sebring convertible. The trouble is that the people who make these pronouncements are automobile journalists whose every moment is consumed with things like 0-60 acceleration, braking stats, and G-forces when cornering. I understand: been there myself but maturity (also known as old age) leads one to respect the needs of average folk who don't care about car enthusiast's opinions. This suggestion, that the Sebring is the worst car in the world, comes via Autoblog, eagerly promoting the opinions of the London Times' Jeremy Clarkson. Mr. Clarkson is a brilliant writer and eminently quotable. Autoblog expresses it as follows: "The way Clarkson sees it, quality sucks in the Sebring and other American cars because we Americans have no sense of history and are thus incapable of planning for the future (by making something built to last)." Okay. I agree with that but there are many Americans living in Florida and Canadians living in British Columbia who could care less. Can the Sebring accommodate their golf clubs? Yes! Is it a pleasant ride for four people on a summer's day? Absolutely! In the rarified world of affordable 4-seat convertibles, the Chrysler Sebring stands alone. Sadly, the damn thing is ugly (do not be misled by the above pr photo).
