Porsche Boxster vs. Chrysler Sebring Review

Performance
The Chrysler Sebring is likely to feel somewhat sluggish because of its high horsepower-to-weight ratio.

Handling
The Porsche Boxster's rear-wheel drive layout likely gives it better dry traction than the Chrysler Sebring; on the other hand, the Chrysler Sebring's front-wheel drive layout likely provides better traction in rain, snow or ice. The Porsche Boxster has significantly bigger tires than the Chrysler. Note that wider tires could improve handling, while smaller tires could provide better handling in deep snow. With their similar turning radiuses, the Chrysler Sebring and the Boxster most definitely handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Boxster has a larger engine than the Sebring. Keep in mind that smaller engines are often cheaper to fix, but smaller engines can be stressed more. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Porsche is substantially more powerful than the Chrysler Sebring.

Utility
There's no obvious winner between the Sebring and the Porsche Boxster in terms of hauling capacity. The Sebring will indubitably prove more convenient than the Porsche for those of you with frequent kid-cargo.

Convenience
The Porsche Boxster's fuel tank will need to be replenished somewhat more often than the unit in the Sebring.

Dimensions
The Chrysler Sebring is considerably heavier than the Porsche Boxster. The Chrysler Sebring's tank is about the same size as the Porsche's, though the Porsche's is slightly larger. The Porsche Boxster and the Chrysler Sebring compete for the same parking spaces. The Porsche Boxster's shorter wheelbase may produce a less-settled highway ride but a sprier feel in daily traffic than the Sebring.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The Sebring is markedly cheaper to get to the dealership than the Porsche Boxster. Producing an exact fuel economy evaluation is so difficult that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though the Chrysler is the winner as far as fuel economy. There frankly isn't much of a difference in gas mileage here, but if you must know, the Chrysler Sebring is slightly more economical than the Porsche Boxster. The Boxster is tremendously more expensive than the Chrysler Sebring when it comes to MSRP. With respect to out-the-door price, the Porsche Boxster costs tremendously more than the Chrysler.

Overview
The basic warranty that comes with the Chrysler isn't quite as generous as the Porsche Boxster's.
