2013 Chrysler 200 Touring 2dr Convertible (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
9 of 10 people found this review helpful
I bought a leftover 2013 Touring convertible with the 3.6-litre engine in February 2015 for a great price. I only have 2000 miles on it, so I can't comment on reliability. The powertrain is a gem - the Pentastar V6 is smooth and powerful and emits a nice thrum when accelerating, and the 6-speed transmission eagerly serves up downshifts. Fuel economy is so-so - 16 MPG around town and 29-30 MPG on a trip. The interior is impressively quiet with the soft top up - as quiet as many conventional sedans I've driven. My only complaint is the front seating - the lumbar bulge is much too big and much too high, which means I have to recline the seat, and the leg room is a bit skimpy for tall drivers.
This is a hidden gem among convertibles

2013 Chrysler 200 Limited 2dr Convertible (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

I just purchased my 2nd '13 Limited hard top conv. It's just IMPOSSIBLE to beat these cars, bang for the buck on the used car market (unless you buy from a dealer, then you'll get reamed). Man, I can't get enough of these cars! Ample power from the V6. The hardtop is simply an amazing feat of engineering in this price range. My nephew thought I had a Transformer! 😂 In addition, ANY hard top unit will automatically come fully loaded, that's the spec! 👍 I bought a Dk Blue with 65k mis on it in Oct '18 for $12k. Liked it so much I bought a White one with a small roof leak with 78k mis on it Oct' 19 for a paltry $7k!! These cars are just highly underrated and priced accordingly. Cost only $600 to have dealer replace the seal, and the top is like new now! (I'm still hoping to get a '14 Gold with low miles to complete my collection!) I don't drive 4 cyl cars anymore, And I haven't stepped up to full electric because, with my early retirement taking me to Ecuador, I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a charger there. V6 is just too practical for mileage / power combination. I get low 20s MPG in town and 31MPG Hwy. (With this ODB Auto-tuner I recently added(6/2022), it's now getting 33mpg hwy! I'm just not willing to give up all my power for the extra 3 MPG that a 4 cyl "might" provide. There is no way to shut off traction control. But I disconnected the brake sending unit and it shut off the traction control... I was just curious. You don't realize how much power you have under you, with traction control on. I could smoke the wheels off without even trying! It makes a huge difference with traction control on, it bridles that HP in a safe and satisfying way. I've put about 15k miles on both cars. Have had no problems at all. I did replace tires with some Kuhmos from tire rack, I love these tires and they're comparatively cheap too! My main complaint is the delay in downshifting manually. You tell the car what you want to do and it decides what it will do and when. My Mazda cx-9 sport shifter responds instantaneously, so it's an adjustment. My other major complaint is that you cannot go even 1MPH and activate the top. I used to be able to motivate the top on my old '03 Sebring up to like 15mph. Very helpful if that stop light is just a bit too short for full activation. I suppose it is because the back half of the car opens up when moving the top, which might allow your belongings to fly away at even low speed. My old Sebring soft top was dysjuncted from the actual trunk space. A minor thing, cruise control sometimes will not turn on.. In either car, so I assume this is a computer function or malfunction(or a short in the button). Sometimes, it eventually responds and other times I have to restart the car. It did take 3 weeks for the dealer to get the main roof seal (maybe due to Wuhan flu shutdown, I'm not sure) . They decided to replace a window track as well which only took a week to get. The thing about this hard top is that I couldn't find any Bodyshop or convertible shop in Richmond, Va OR JAX, FL that would touch it, so you're going to be stuck with the dealer handling any hard top Issues. On the bright side, Whitten did a heckuva nice job on it. Of course, it's the same with any Mercedes or BMW as well. At least I didn't invest $50k+, So I don't mind a little upkeep when it happens. I'm 6'2", but I find this car very comfortable to drive and ride in. I LOOOVE the 'Uge trunk on the convertible. Whenever I open it with top up, bystanders always comment about how 'uge it is! 😂 Trunk is also extremely useful with the top down! Still big enough for 4 bags and 3-4 inches of storage under the folded top. I did some reaearch before buying the 2nd one and I couldn't find ANY convertible with this much trunk space for any price. It's so nice that it is such a practical car. The Bluetooth is a bit clunky but I'm getting used to it. Just have to make sure all my future phone upgrades have a headphone jack as a backup, which is becoming harder to do. The sound system in the Limited is definitely worthy of a convertible. I can't even consider turning it up loud without the top down. I also still prefer my TomTom over the built-in GPS (and especially the expensive map updates!), but buying used, I didn't pay extra for that feature anyway. I almost hate to tell people how good of a deal these cars are on the used mkt. I might want to snag a few more for my family. Update 1 (2022): on the hi mileage unit (90k), I've replaced an ABS sensor . On the lower mileage unit (79k), which is stored a lot, I'm replacing an O2 sensor. You'd never guess an OEM Denso O2 sensor is $37, easily accessible and just a twist of the wrench, when the dealer asks $595 to fix it. Plus $150 diagnostic! Also there is an intermittent ABS sensor fault on the lo mileage unit as well. Still love both cars exceedingly!

Purchased this car Sept 19th.2015,,,,,first of all, I never knew what it really had til after the first week. when I saw the car it was love at first site. sunroof leather all pwr everything. baby blue, new tires, 35,000plus miles. 3.6 v6l engine, etc...interior leather is awesome with heated seats both driver and passenger. the stereo system is boom box fantastic. the tires are new, but they keep reading differently. I'm guessing it could be the weather or condition of the roads. the gas is about 19 mpg city, and 22 hwy. its not bad, the a/c works great. the sunroof is fun. the trunk space is pretty big. If you have sorta big feet it can hit the hood release easy,,, but okay here it is. it rained on Monday,and I barely went threw a puddle going about 40. it scared the life out of me. my steering wheel went back and forth like crazy sideways with the puddle. gotta stay away from that for safety!!! but i'm In Vegas hardly ever rains! in 5yrs,i'll be giving this car to my daughter for school if she keeps good grades!!! You wont be sorry for this purchase that's for sure,,,enjoy!!!!

This is the first car I ever bought. I bought it used with less than 20,000 miles on it and everything has been wrong with the car. The alternator went out, the battery, the brakes, the actuator broke. I have had problems with the door, the air conditioning, the radiator, the electric components. Do not buy this car.

Bought this car in Oct 2020 with 31k miles I knew it would need some minor updates since it spent most it's time in the driveway I paid $12k for Pentastar 3.6 V6 retractable hardtop Lots of features Boston Sound Sirius 30 gig hard drive NAV Power Heated Seats Very comfortable Other than oil changes I replaced both window regulators 22-24MPG City 29-34MPG Highway The Pentastar 3.6 V6 is rated at 286 HP on regular gas I put a stage three chip in OBI Port Think it's close to 300 HP COMFORTABLE QUITE RELIABLE Nice looking To bad Chrysler pushed the sedan The retractable hardtop is a Winner Would recommend this car as preowned As we all know resale is not a strong point for Chrysler

1st of all there is no trunk area for you to place anything but small bags. You have to take the tire off to replace the battery. You have to take the front bumper off to change the headlight in the vehicle. It's a nice car and a nice ride but what a hassle to have to do any repairs
An upgrade to my previous 08 Sebring Hardtop vert

I previously had a silver/grey 2008 Chrysler Sebring Touring Hardtop convertible (with most of the Limited's options). So upgrading to a red/cream 2013 200 Limited Hardtop convertible was pretty straight forward (all controls and features are basically the same). Except, the 200's materials are much nicer than the previous Sebring's plastic finishes. The 200's 3.6 Pentastar/6 speed tranny combination (with autostick) was a pleasant surprise compared to the previous 2.7/4 speed tranny combination from 2008. No more hunting of gears while on hilly terrain with the 200. The entertainment/gps system was also slightly improved and unlike the manufacturers constant need to further complicate infotainment systems (I have a 2020 Chrysler Pacifica that has a HUGE manual needed to find everything for its infotainment system), the 730 stereo has enough fun features without being overly complicated. The 200 also rides quieter. The cherry red exterior and cream interior is a striking color combination, and looks nicer than most other convertibles. The hardtop feature of the convertible is what wins with me due to better security, quieter ride, and the ability to drive in the winter without worries of the snow load during storms (only the Volvo and VW Eos had this feature but like the 200 convertible, they also no longer manufacture a hardtop convertible anymore).... otherwise, I'd have looked at the Mustang or Camaro convertible. Unfortunately, Chrysler stopped making these Hardtop convertibles in 2015.... so I bought this used 2013 to last me another 15 years as there is nothing being sold now or on the horizon that compares. The 2013 is the epitome of the three and a half generations of the Sebring/200 convertibles (1996-2014), and unless Chrysler starts making another one..... all I can say to the person looking for a good used convertible, is to buy a good example of a 2013/2014 200 Limited or S Hardtop convertible. You won't be sorry (just make sure you get an extended bumper to bumper warranty for piece of mind). I bought this one with 96,250 miles for $13,250 (including the 5 yr/60,000 mile "premium" warranty)...... and I consider it the best buy out there for a hardtop convertible. Bar none. ----------------------------------------- Addendum (08/06/2021) We were broadsided (t-boned) by another vehicle in July of 2019. f t wasn't for the addtl. structure to make it stronger.as it is a convertible; I am quite sure my son would have been n the hospital for weeks instead of just being bruised. Despite the damage, the car was repaired (correctly) & it still looks as good as new. We are now at 114,000 miles, and have had the 100k/120k maintenance services done (including the coolant flush/reverse flush to ensure no gunk in the heater core). So far, the engine & transmission have been bullet proof No weird issues or quirks have been noted. It just is a great used convertible & I wouldn't have any other (you couldn't give me a Mercedes or BMW)..A great tourer..... & with the top down - a wonderful ride. =============== Still great after 3 years. No issues. =============== 08/11/2023 - I sold the 200 Convertible to another person (who is still enjoying at to this day). I replaced it with a 1997 Sebring "show car".

Bought new in June 2013 and have 78000 miles on it. Replaced battery 2 years ago. Took back to dealer for slight tran pan leak in 2014. Full warrantee coverage. Thats it. Have some recalls, but ignore them. I put it on the interstate set at 78, lock it in 6th and drive all day, foot on the gas when needing a bump up. It loves 85 mph and will exceed that with ease. Would love a turbo.
An incredible car

Purchased 2013 Chysler 200 convertible from Mrytle Beach Chyrsler Jeep. With purchase price and taxes, etc. $35000. 6 weeks later, needed SUV for business. Went back to Myrtle Beach Chysler Jeep. They offered me $24000 for the car I bought frm them. They offered 24! Took car to Totota. The car is less than 6 months old, low miles and Toyota offered $14,000. The car is worth NOTHING. Chrysler is charging way too much for this car. I called Myrtle Beach Chyrsler Jeep and they offered $17,000 only because they sold me the car. No one wants this car, including Chrysler. No navigation, no USB for iPod. Horrible on gas. Just all around bad purchase. Worse case of buyers remorse ever.
