Most of the bad transmission issues were with the 4 Cylinder, using the 9 speed transmission. Just opt for the bigger engine if buying used. The higher S and C packages equipped with the V6 and the same 9 speed transmisisons seemed to have mostly 'Dodged' this issue, pun intended. I still am taking my V6 in to the dealer (unavailable until late October) for the recall maintenance, just to be sure. The interior and electronics are top notch, especially the upgraded Alpine sound system. Safety Package (adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitor, lane departure warnings) were valuable included features. The engine is punchy and provides the power you want and need, but is not anything meant to be "sports car worthy" as this is the "luxury minded" Dodge branding. The exterior look and design are what sold me on the car, the rest was icing on the cake. Me and my wife literally fit inside the trunk (long held cargo space test we use) and we liked the two front seat compartments and additional (lockable) glove box. Have only had the car for about a month, so no long drives or use of the Navigation yet... but all seem fine. Yes a 9 speed transmission will have you ramping up and down into many gears at a time, but I wouldn't describe it as "jerky". Resale value on these things suck, but that's mostly due to the stink from the 4 cylinders ruining the great job they did withthe V6's. I would scrap the 4 cylinder option alltogether... I mean that's what Chevy did with the Impala's and that seemed to work out fine.

The Chrysler 200C is a dynamic vehicle. The V6 powered car supplies more performance, and fun, than most people will ever use. Zippy, while still averaging around 27mpg at 75mph trips, with 23 around town. Fit and finish is superb, the upgraded leather premium has to be seen to really appreciate. The Mocha brown is as good as anything you will find in the car market - regardless of price. The road handling is perfect. The car with the forward anti-collision, distance control cruise control, self parking, has to be used to be truly appreciated. A really great car, best buy out there - bar none.

Loving my 200C

I purchased my 2015 200C at the end of June and have already put over 7000 miles on it with only one problem that was fixed within the first week. The rear shelf over the back seats was not fastened properly, causing it to vibrate uncomfortably to any bass coming out of the speakers. Once it was fixed, the premium sound system sounded great! I love to drive my car on the back roads around where I live and on the interstates, I feel like it's at home in both environments. It gets lots of stares from people in Mercedes cars, as well as other luxury brands as the go by, or I pass them.

*** May 2016 Update Still purring at 18,700 miles. The good and the bad: The upper backrest of the driver's seat squeaks. Every little change in throttle and braking elicits a reminder that Chrysler needs a wee bit more development budget. The seats are brilliantly comfortable and contribute to forgetting the noise. The sunglasses holder also makes an occasional annoying rattle sound. Everything else is still awesome. Engine, AWD, fabulous dash, huge trunk and head-turning bodywork and wheels make this a truly enjoyable daily driver. A Benz owner asked me if it was a Tesla! ******* Purchased new in May '15 and have 12,250 as of Nov 1st so yes, I have piled on the miles. Traded in an aging '09 Audi A8L, so my basis for comparison is a highly ranked luxury sedan. Driving Dynamics There is a bit of a mixed bag here. The star of the show is the engine. Step on it, and it pulls. Let up, step on it again, and it pulls harder. Cruising at 90 and stomping on it gets you to 110+ RIGHT NOW. It is amazing. Every bit as fast as the Audi A8L. The brakes are confident with minimal if any fade. Handling is good, not great. "Sport" mode seems to just make the steering feel heavier, not more inspiring. "Sport" mode does the usual transmission shift adjustments, and it does them very well. It also makes the car feel more like a rear-wheel driver as it disengages the traction control and makes it feel tossable. The 9 speed tranny does occasional hunting, and will sometimes stay in a lower gear going down hills. But it also turns less than 2700RPM at 110MPH. I remember my '86 GTI droning on at 3500rpm at 70mph all the way to Florida. On several Pittsburgh to Richmond trips, a rather mountainous journey, the 200S returned an unbelievable 31.5mpg, and that's with spirited driving at sustained 85+. The suspension is taught, and the 19" wheels take a bit of the magic-carpet-ride feel away. But it is not unpleasant. Finally, there is the exhaust note. It is mean, nasty, gnarly, growlingly perfect. Perfect. Concerns Obviously the reliability issue rears its ugly head as we really don't know how this purring lion is going to hold up. I'm already experiencing a squeak from, of all places, the upper seat back of the drivers seat. At 6'1" and 185lbs I am certainly not taxing the capability of the seat too much. My other concern is the rear view mirror is so big it can actually block an SUV sitting at an intersection. I am forced to duck my head down to see under it. And yes, I've moved the seat down. **June 2016** Chrysler once again screwed me by announcing production is moving to Mexico and keeping their lease residuals ridiculously high on this car, so my $35k car in 18 months is now worth $16k at trade in. Thanks!! In 2001 when I bought their brand-new minivan they then sold it in fleets and my trade in percentage was even less! Sorry, but never ever again Chrysler. On the styling front, sad to say I can't distinguish the 200 from the Kia's and Huyndai's on the road. Say hello to my new Cadillac CTS4 with Performance Package that runs circles around the 200, is highly distinctive, and not an embarrassment to hand over to the valet. **May 2017** Recently searching for a car for my daughter, I happened upon used Chrysler 200s' in the 35-50k range selling for $13-$15,000. No retained value whatsoever! Reinforces my decision to dump the 200 was a good one. Cadillac runs superbly... **May 2018 Sorry America, your cars just don't seem to last. Goodbye, CTS and Hello another Audi A8.... a car that epitomizes fine motoring.

This is an excellent car. The backup camera is helpful, electronics awesome, we just love this car. When on the interstate you cannot even hear any road noise or traffic it is so well insulated. Around town we average 24.9 mpg. On the interstate we average 36.5 mpg. Car is still in top shape, no mechanical problems other than a flat tire which had a nail in it.
