Used 2014 Chrysler 200 Consumer Reviews
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".

Brake issues
My husband & I purchased this car in November 2013 and the brakes starting squeaking 6 months later and a pop noise when your driving . I took it to dealership on 3 occasions and they say it is oxidation and will not do anything and Chrysler will not either. We have always bought Chrysler and Dodge products but it they are not going to honor the warranty I will not again. I think if you have a new car it should not make noises

Owned for a few weeks, worst car I've ever owned.
*Bought pre-owned* I have the 2.4L Sedan. Transmission shifts extremely rough, it slips a lot. I'm average 14 mpg around town, and around 21 with cruise control going about 60 mph. It's slow, it's heavy, however it does handle very well. Will never get another Chrysler 200.
It's like The Batmobile or a Transformer!
The hard top convertible is so amazing for convenience, quietness, security and Wow factor! I'm a 3rd owner, purchased at 65k mis. privately. Seems well cared for. The V6 is pretty good. I wish they had developed the 8 speed AT earlier or given it maybe 20 more HP. But it is definitely adequate. As one reviewer mentioned, interior lighting lacks safety lites on the doors and lights under the dash, As well as dim trunk lighting. Not sure why, with all the LEDs and attn to detail they missed that. But I bought some bright LED license plate lights that are tiny. She's about to get a lighting upgrade! I've owned it a year & put new rear brakes & Kuhmos all around. When it's stored for long periods, the steering pops a bunch. But I discovered when I was driving it daily, the popping went away after a week or so. Super looking and riding vehicle. It's my all time favorite! Even enjoying the refinement over the raw power of the old 'vette. It's been the right car for the right time.
