A four-cylinder Chrysler Sebring finished last in our six-car February 2007 comparison of family sedans [“ Familial Four-Doors ”], mostly because of its weak driving dynamics and horsepower shortage. That made us wonder if the most-powerful Sebring—a 235-hp, 3. 5-liter V-6 that ranks above the 189-hp, 2. 7-liter V-6 and the base 173-hp inline-four—might have improved the result. When the driver first plops down on the Sebring’s softly cushioned and unsupportive seats and looks at the two-tone Sun City interior, speed isn’t what comes to mind. The six-speed automatic quickly shifts through its tightly spaced second and third gears and pushes the bulky body through the quarter-mile at 92 mph in 15. 3 seconds.

The Sebring leans on its door handles on the skidpad, recording 0. 79 g of grip on all-season tires, and stands on its...
