1999 Chrysler Sebring JXi Convertible Elegance and practicality with the top down. By Kevin Ransom, New Car Test Drive .com

Chrysler's Sebring Convertible is America's best-selling convertible and it isn't hard to see why. It offers nimble performance that makes it a joy to drive. A well-designed top makes switching between good and bad weather a breeze. It's practical and roomy enough for four to travel in comfort. And its elegant styling has held up well, even though it is going into its third year of production.

Dozens of refinements went into the Sebring Convertible last year. This year, the model line has been streamlined. All Sebring Convertibles now come standard with the V6-the four-cylinder engine that came on the base JX model is no longer available. And many of the popular options are now standard on the JX.

1999 Sebring Convertibles are distinguished by Chrysler's new winged badge. Next-generation driver air bags were installed for increased safety.
