Nice car

Picked mine up at 7 years old with 100133 on the odometer. The price was right even though the mileage was high for the year. Overall it’s a clean, comfortable, fun, peppy car to drive loaded with nice creature comforts. Fuel economy from the 3.6L is a little lacking, about 24mpg combined for me so far. It makes up for it with its surprising power and handling. At 100576 the transmission started acting funky, still shifting reliably but not smoothly. I suspect the 100k maintenance hadn’t been done to the car yet. Will update after that gets performed. It’s long term reliability remains to be seen. Overall this car is super fun, the V6 is quiet, and it’s packed with features. Even though it’s essentially a reheated Sebring—you get a lot of handsome car for your dollar.

Worst car I’ve ever had.

This car is a joke. I purchased it three years ago (and finally got it out of my hair today, FINALLY) and within that three years I put in nearly the same amount of money fixing things as I did purchasing it. After the heater core, two alternator mishaps, a blown radiator hose, the thermostat housing going out, a transmission leak, the master switch going out twice, the tire pressure gauge breaking, horrendously squeaky brakes, the car shaking when braking, overheating engine, broken AC fan, and many more things, I have nothing good to say about this car. The entire left side of the car under the hood had to be replaced essentially due to malfunctions within those 3 years. Also, the driver seat headrest popped out and smacked me in the back of the head unprovoked. I’d like to elaborate that I kept this car up to date on all its maintenance and drove it well. The 2012 Chrysler 200 is nothing but a money pit, and if I could give this car 0 stars I would. I will never recommend this car to anybody.

New transmission at 62,000 miles

62,000 miles and new transmission. Took dealer 4 weeks. Never had a transmission go out. I could understand if car had 120,000+ miles on it but at 62,000 miles, poor design, poor quality and poor craftsmanship in my opinion. Thank good it was covered under power train warranty.....

Love the car, hate the mpg.

This car is beautiful inside and out. It is really, really fun to drive. I would say it is a cream puff. However, the part that is disappointing is the mileage. The mileage is terrible on this car. The very best we did on the highway was 22mpg. It seems like for a smaller car the mileage should be much better.
