The 2009 Chrysler Sebring offers reasonably good safety, though crash-test scores aren’t at the front or the class and safety equipment isn’t remarkable. If only Chrysler would have paid as much attention to safety features as it did to its options list.

The 2009 Chrysler Sebring gets mostly five-star ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for crash protection, with four-star scores in passenger side-impact and rollover resistance. The Sebring also wins a rating of "good" for frontal offset tests from the IIHS.

Side-impact and curtain airbags are standard across the line, as are anti-lock brakes, while electronic stability control is optional on some models. MyRide.com points out, "Electronic stability program plus traction control and Brake Assist" are optional.

Conclusion

The 2009 Chrysler Sebring is reasonably safe and secure.

Other Choices:

The Ford Fusion and the Mazda6 are both sportier-feeling rivals to the Sebring, and they perform much better in nearly every way. The Fusion is a bit larger than the Sebring, while the Mazda6 may handle more in tune with some drivers' tastes and has a distinctive new look and feel that’s more luxurious. Surprisingly, the Honda Civic and the Toyota Corolla might compete more at the four-cylinder level with the Sebring than the Accord and Camry. The Honda and Toyota options shine for quality and dependability.
