Looking GOOD
i purchase a 2013 Chrysler 200 car for my daughter because of its sporty looks. As a retired car salesman of 24 years, {many of these years with Chrysler} . i didn't buy it new, but it had very low miles on it with plenty of warranty yet left on it. my daughter call me for college complaining about the brake system. I had the brakes inspected several times by several shop, however in vein. I was informed that the brake system checked out fine and my daughter should feel save driving the car. there was no repairable solution for this problem. After the warranty expired the Thermostat Housing Kit cracked. This is a very expensive repair out of pocket. Has not been a good experience. {I still like it for its looks}

Very Under Rated!
This is my 3rd 200/Sebring. My '10 Sebring was mechanically excellent but interior materials were hard plastic. I put 160K on the old 3.5L without any issues. The '11 200 upgraded with soft to touch materials. No issues & traded it in with 156K on it after taking it from one of my salesmen at 82K. The '14 200 I drive now has also been perfect. I bought it with 8200 miles & it is at 121K. No issues, just normal service items. Quiet, solid, handles well, comfortable with excellent fuel mileage. The I-4 mated to the 6 speed transmission consistently is in the low 30's without any issues. It is not a race car but at 80 on the interstate it does just fine with enough passing power to be safe. Oil (blend) gets changed once per month (about 4000 miles) along with rotate/balance each time. For the money it is a great vehicle even though the auto "experts" continually bash it based on the models they test.

Problems with heat
When I first purchased the car there was a flapping noise in the dashboard. It turned out to be a rotator fan that broke. I thought it would go away for good once it was replaced, turns out I was wrong. I've had the car going on three years now. Every time it gets cold and I go to turn the heat on, it makes the loudest, most annoying flapping noise that continues for about two minutes. On top of that, the heat gradually gets colder on the passenger side. The first winter I had it, I paid $900 for a new heater core. That fixed it for that winter. The next winter, the problem came back. There was a warranty on the heater core, so I took it to the shop and told them the same problem was happening. They told me "its only about 5 degrees difference on the passenger side" which is a lie. When it gets icy, only the driver side of the window will defrost. I looked it up online and it turns out many other people have had the same issue with the heat not working correctly. That is the only issue I've had with the vehicle, everything else is great! If you live somewhere warm, its worth the purchase. If you live somewhere cold, absolutely NOT!

This is a hidden gem among convertibles
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!

A nice car!
It is my wife's car and she loves it having had a smaller Neon for many years before the 200. She is short so preferred a smaller cat but has found the mid-size 200 to be just fine. I have a slightly larger 2007 Impala LTZ with a large 3.9 six in it that I really like. On the other hand, I really enjoy driving the 200 as well as it handles and rides well and has plenty of power with the 3.6 six to power it.
