Limited with 3.6L V6

2012 Chrysler 200 Limited 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
We bought this when after first looking at a VW Beetle. New styling of 200 is refreshing. Interior is classy in black. Lots of power with the V6; I expected there to be more torque steer during spirited driving with 283hp going to front wheels but the traction control keeps TS under control quite well. The mileage could be better but we bought anyways fully knowing what to expect. We … traded in a 2010 VW Jetta TDI that had turbo lag the VW dealerships could not resolve.
Too many repairs

2012 Chrysler 200 Limited 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
I bought this car in 2013. Before that I owned a 96 Honda Accord i bought in 2001. I'll get back this comparison. Since purchasing the car I've had to replace the rotors twice, the radiator, the valve cover gasket, the alternator...twice in the last year, repair the ac, the struts and tie rod. And these were not cheap repairs. It's also very difficult to change the headlights. You have … to go in through the wheel well. Drivetrain is the worse in weather. I've owned this car 8 years and had more repairs than a 12 year old Honda. I also do not feel safe in weather, particularly snow. I've had brand spanking new tires and still had problems skidding all over the place. Something I was just not used from being a Honda owner. I had to buy a chrysler to solidify that I'm going to be a Honda owner for the rest of my life. Can't wait to get rid of this car.
Ok for the price but beware.

2012 Chrysler 200 Limited 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
My car was bought in Jan of 2012. Since then I have kept the car well maintained. Having an oil leak I thought the people that did my oil changes messed up the oil plug. It turned out to be the engine oil seal. The dealership told me this is a common problem. Also at 26K miles my tires went bad. For this car being able to get tires with warranty at 100K miles this is bad. I was told the … tires were not balanced. They were factory tires but are not covered. Also make sure you check your alignment often as this destroyed my front tires. I can now see the quality difference between Chrysler and Toyota. I owned my Toyota Corolla for 8 years no problem. Can not say the same about my Chrysler.
Excellent Value

2012 Chrysler 200 Limited 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
After driving an Oldsmobile Aurora (still my favorite car of all time) for many years we purchased a Hyundai Sonata.
I found I missed many of the comforts of the Aurora...climate control, sun roof, V6 engine, etc.
While these options are available on other vehicles, the Chrysler 200 was priced far below the competition.
This would not have been my first choice in cars, but after 13,000 … miles I still have not found another car I would choose over this one (for the money).
Overall - BEST VALUE.
I do miss the super quiet Cadillac NorthStar engine and silky smooth automatic transmission in my Aurora, but what the heck, this car was half the price.
