Chrysler Sebring

Supposedly 'engineered for Europe'. Yes. Unfortunately engineered for Europe by the Americans, who don't live here. The suspension is soft, there's scuttle-shake despite the fact this is a SALOON and it makes you travel sick. Very comfortable in a straight line, driving on glass, when you're drunk. As cool as wearing a visible thong if you're a man. The Sebring actually feels pretty solidly built, but the design focus group were all colour-blind and senseless, so the interior is awash with grey plastic and a lack of texture. Elephant hides are more exciting than this. Engines should be reliable though. The steering died in the '80s, the lurching bodyroll inspires 0.00001-percent confidence and understeer is an almost constant companion. Talking about a Chrysler from the 1950s? No, we're talking about the Sebring in 2010. Scandalously bad. The boot's big at 440 litres and there's plenty of space for four large humans (though good luck finding three people willing to get in with you). Oh, and you won't care if you run it into a brick wall - it might improve the looks.
