Nice but
Dont get me wrong the car is nice and does what it should it is flashy and high tech but the shifting points are off fast acceleration from a stop is horrible from reverse to drive it's a good 3 seconds to process

Owned for nearly 4 Years Now
I have not had it into the shop for anything except oil changes. Yes, the transmission occasionally (rarely) jerks in low gears 1st or 2nd, but not a big deal. It rides great on highway. I have the 4 cylinder, so it's not super quick, but it gets up to speeds fine and doesn't feel bogged down except for maybe when you stop and start a lot in city with AC running. I would have gotten the 3.6L if it was my only car, but it was a second car I bought to use as a daily driver. The 2.4L is fine for me. The looks, features and interior are good for the price. I don't know why people have trouble getting in, I'm 6'2" and I don't struggle at all. The only interior rattle I've had is from the sunglasses holder, which I fixed with a piece of stick on vinyl to eliminate the plastic on plastic rubbing that was occurring. If you want to compare it to a luxury sedan, yeah, it's going to lose. It's also half the price and still performs great for a daily car. I purchased mine with serious rebates, so I paid only about 2/3 of sticker price, so I'm very happy with it. I have leather, heated seats, cruise, rear camera, blue tooth, touchscreen, usb, power seats an much more for under $20K. I think Chrysler is making a mistake discontinuing these. My wife drives a loaded Chrysler Town & Country that has had several issues, but the 200 has been problem free. I have no plans on getting rid of it as it looks and rides like new. Update 2-7-2019 - Still haven't had one problem and has never been into the shop for repairs. Changed oil, cabin air filter and rotated tires in December 2018. I only put about 3500 miles per year on it, but it's still nearly 4 years old, so I would've had some sort of problem by now if it wasn't a decent car. I drive it mostly in the winter and no problem when we went sub-zero last week. Still looks like new too. PS: I have the 5 inch touchscreen multimedia system, and while it doesn't look very impressive, the functions and Bluetooth performance is excellent. I love the phone options that allow you to dial on screen, see your contact lists, recent calls and even respond to text messages with pre-set voice commands. My wife's 2013 T&C with the larger NAV system doesn't have these options...I don't know if they upgraded the system in 2015. It is super simple to pair your phone and use the system...no instruction manual necessary. All the other features are laid out nicely and easy to operate as well, just push the button for the feature (Radio, Media, Phone, Climate, etc...) and the controls for that option are displayed on the touchscreen. Most controls have a duplicate button or knob to control from the console as well. Update 8/11/2020: I finally had to take it to the shop. The passenger side heater was blowing cold air. They replaced a sensor that wasn't reading the correct temperature. It was under extended warranty, so it cost me $100. I also had to replace the battery, which showed no signs of dying...it just did one morning. Car still looks and rides like brand new. The 'jerky' shifting is almost non-existent anymore...at least I don't notice it. I still insist that Chrysler made a big mistake getting rid of these. 2/11/2022 - Has not been back to the shop since the thermostat issue. No problems what-so-ever. I get a little vibration on highway above 75, but it's just time to get the tires rotated and balanced. I have over 30,000 miles now (yeah, I don't drive everyday), but still drives and looks new. No rust or paint issues even though it sits outside most of the year. All the features like the remote start, heated seats and other electronics work without any problems.

Horrible 9-speed unreliable transmission
When going from reverse to drive or even from Park to drive the transmission will go into drive at first up to about 5 miles an hour and then starts slipping for about 20 to 30 seconds with the engine revving and then finally goes back into drive with a big thump jerking you back into the seat and is sometimes kind of scary the worst part about it is it's been to the dealership three times and they say they can't duplicate the problem and I told them it was intermittent that it didn't happen all the time I even talked to the service manager after the third time of taking it in and he even told me that there was nothing they could do unless it showed a code that was bad or duplicate the problem and while telling me this he acted like I was bugging him so now I'm stuck with this car but I'm paying a lot of money for a car I'm scared to drive....SO NO I DON'T RECOMMEND ANYONE TO BY THIS TYPE OF CAR AT ALL

Aesthetically pleasing and great standard features
Very very nice care, handles well, just need a little more head room and a little more space in the backseat and it would be beyond perfect

200s 6 cyl loaded. I Love This Car!
This is a great car. I have 23,000 miles on a 2016 model. Plenty of power. Interior with leather looks great. No mechanical problems at all. The only time I notice the CVT transmission are when starting cold and just the first shifts from park. Performance on the road is excellent. You can accelerate out of any situation and it sounds great doing so. I would have gotten the all wheel drive for the added performance and because the car is worth the investment. Ok It's now 2019 and I have 43,000 miles on it and still love the car. No problems so far. I put a great set of performance tires on it and it really helps stick to the road. When you really get on it the car stays straight ahead. Fingers crossed it stays this way. Will drive till 60,000. Then a Model 3 electric.
