The Sebring

While on deputation last weekend we again rented a vehicle. Since we needed the extra day to go to the Inn for our anniversary, we tried to save the mission some money by renting a compact. We ended up with a Sebring, which is not a compact car. Actually, I liked this car much better than the PT Cruiser. It fit the three kids in the back quite comfortably, and had plenty of trunk space. The car was by no means powerful, but it didn't seem to need to rev up to 4000 - 5000 rpms to get moving, like the PT Cruiser did. The car looks really nice and it handled very well. My only real complaint about the car is that the seats in front were very low to the ground and I found the driver's seat very uncomfortable. I couldn't adjust it to make things comfortable either. Shannon was quite comfortable in the passenger seat, but I literally ached after an hour or so. With better seating, this is a car I would consider buying. If you find the seats of this car comfortable (as Shannon did) I would recommend this as a good, relatively inexpensive, family car.
