When you are behind the wheel of a new Chrysler people notice you. Well, the car at least. Chryslers are known to attract attention. I think it is because of their distinctive design.
The new Sebring sedan certainly can boast she is unique. From her ribbed bonnet to her clever cup-holders that can chill or heat contents, this American-made gal ticks many boxes for the family car buyer.
She is value for money, spacious and quirky and sure to attract the 100 or so buyers predicted for her Australian market each month.
From front on, the Sebring looks burly, but side on she is more your classic family sedan. What I like is that she features as standard equipment, many things you would expect to find only in luxury models such as the heated seats and an alarm.
Also included are six airbags, 17-inch alloy wheels and tyre-pressure monitors, a great idea.
I don't even mind the plastic dash that takes up a whole lot of the front because it is curved in all the right places and sits comfortably with the Sebring's street-wise feel.
She is that sort of car, one that warns other vehicles not to mess with her; she has that mean look that means business.
This won't put women off her. I enjoy being behind the wheel and did not feel at all aggressive. Women will appreciate her gentle side and will look forward to the convertible, which is due to release later this year in Australia for about $45,000.
