Don't read and believe some of the biased reviews on this car. Most of those reviews are kind of silly and are not going to effect how you like or dislike the car. The only fault I can see with the car is if your over 6 feet tall the back seat will be a little tight getting in and out but since everybody in my family is under that height no complaint from me. In fact I love the roof line it make's the car look very nice. Gas milage has been outstanding getting 40mpg on the highway and 28mpg in town. Drive this car and make up your own mind and don't let some guy sitting in an office somewhere make it for you. I've had the car long enough now to confirm my positive review from day one. Have had no problems but needed a new battery under warranty no charge to me, service was fast and friendly. Some of the negative reviews on this car make me laugh, things like not liking the color of the lights in the dash, no headroom in the back. seats uncomfortable, rough ride, road noise and on and on. Are they serious. I drove a lot of cars before I found this one and in my opinion it's right up there with the best of them. Drive this car up the freeway and when the transmission shifts into ninth gear watch the RPMs drop 400 and the milage jump up to around 40mpg, wow. The only other car in my opinion that was it's equal was the Buick Verano. I'm biased though I will not buy a foreign made car with a foreign name on it. People told me I could buy a Toyota they're made in the U.S, sure but most of the money goes to Japan and most of the parts are shipped into the country. Buy American with an American name on the car.

Bought a brand new 2017 Chrysler 200

Honestly by far a reliable vehicle. Bought mine with 7 miles on the odometer. Now I have 16500 miles on the odometer. Only oil changes and tire rotations. This car versus my old Chevy cruze has been rock solid reliable. The 9 speed computerized automatic transmission takes some getting use to, I don't feel it shift at all neither do my passengers. The back seat is spacious rather the head room is kinda tight. Love the European styling too. Sadly they are discontinued, however I bought new so I'm upside down. I suggest buying them used much better deals and more affordable. The interior is top notch too, I average 26 mpg combined, in Wisconsin with hills and traffic as well as a lot of cold starts and morning too. Five star crashtests across the board sold me on it

I love my Chrysler 200S with AWD! It has some great features such as blind spot monitoring and the panoramic sunroof! I am sad they are discontinuing them after 2017! I do not know why people give this car such harsh reviews because it's a great car. The acceleration and its road manners make it a pleasure to drive. I love the Uconnect system it is the best in the business. The gas mileage has been great I get up to 40 MPG on the highway and usually around 28 MPG with mixed driving. My only warning is that the backseat headroom is not too great and I think its even worse with the panoramic sunroof option. I love this car so much! I hope you get to have a wonderful experience with it just like I do.

I recently bought a 2017 Chrysler 200 after my Jeep Wrangler took a dive after only 92K miles. To be honest I was going to buy the Mazda6, but after driving that I was like "no way"(it was too outdated and small). The salesman at the dealership showed me the Chrysler, and after a 3 minute argument about my not wanting one I finally said I would test drive it just to get him off my back. However, after sitting in for a minute or two and realizing how comfortable it was, and how I didn't feel cramped in it like I did the Mazda, and how great it handled on the highway, I was hooked. I have a 14 year old who had his heart set on getting the Jeep when he was old enough to drive, but came in after hubby took him for a ride in the 200 and said "I like it WAY better than the Jeep!", so I imagine that he is going to steal this car from me when he turns 16. I'm really very happy with this ride. It's comfy, handles awesome on the road, and has just enough bells and whistles to satisfy my inner diva without breaking the bank.

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

I've rented this vehicle several times with different trim levels and configurations but I recently test drove the AWD C model at the dealer. Wow, a nice vehicle with an interior that looks and feels much more like a premium import than a domestic standard-bearer. Chrysler went way out on a limb to offer a truly world-class mid-size sedan. It's stylish, with a real get up and go that surprised me on a few occasions. FCA did a dumb thing by prematurely ending its run. Chrysler 200 C rules!

This car has almost everything that I could want in a vehicle. If I could add things it would be:parking sensors, ventilated seats, heated back seat and a charging port for the back. I haven't had it long, but love it so far!

200C V6 AWD - King of the Mid-Size Segment

(with possible exception to the 4-door Accord V6) ..... Have had car since March this year .. Got it with just 12K miles. .. Have taken it from Charlotte, NC, to Michigan and back ... Milwaukee, and back ... And just completed a round trip to Cincinnati. .. These (2016s and '17s) are available with wonderful rebates, now ... Get the V6. Get the V6, get the V6! Not because there's anything wrong with the 2.4 liter -> It's an awesome motor .. But they (on some 200s) didn't build the 9-speed automatic transmission, to the motor well ... Also since mid-model year 2016 can get the middle grade car, the Limited, with the V6 motor. Mine's a C - top of the 200 sedan food chain ... It is absolutely AWESOME! All wheel drive package. 300 horsepower (It isn't said, anywhere, but the AWD has a smidgen more power, than the non .. Has different exhaust.) ... Love the dash, in this .. How you can sift through all the different things, in the car, with the button on your steering wheel ... Mine is jet-black, black leather inside had granite grey rims; 19 inch .. The dial transmission works, just great! Some 'expert' car review places have gone on that "Geez it has too many speeds .. Who wants to shift, nine times?" ... Well you DON'T shift, nine times .. in regular driving. Speeds 8 and 9 are highway cruising gears ... and are why with my V6 I got an incredible 31 & 1/2 mpg, on my trip to Ohio. My car also has the manual shift mode with steering-mounted levers, for if I want to really fly, off of a light. 8.4 inch touch screen is rhe best, I've ever seen ... Better than my friend's, in his Camry (He even says this .. lol) ... I do miss a CD player. ... But I'm getting my albums on a couple USBs, to stick in and pull up and play. One has about 40, so far. As to the flap about the rear roof line [That Sergio, head of Fiat was waayyy too sensitive about, in that interview he gave ... He was not recognizing that Consumer Reports just doesn't like Chryslers, and has been biased against Chrysler, for a long time] [I mean kids getting in and out of the back is no problem ... And really how many people who drive these have (other) adults, getting in and out of the back, all week? C.R. took one item and hammered the whole car, because of it. And a lot of people are quickly influenced by Consumer Reports. Thankfully, I wasn't] So, this car is derived from an Alpha Romeo ... It's cool I'm driving something with some Italian blood. Summing up: Car is terrific ... Wonderful power, takes the curves with aplomb .. Seats could be slightly more comfortable, but they're ok. ... 100K mile powertrain warranty. .. Awesome tech :) ... ... ... Update - Chrysler made, in the marketing of this car (In part leading to it's demise. - FCA, you want me to sit in on your next new car marketing meeting? Send me a note -> You need me) ~ They did not promote this car {200C and 200S V6} near enough. In their TV and radio advertising they did not spell out differentiation between the lower LX and Limited models, and my car. .. Most people thought it was just 'the Chrysler 200' ... While they would have had a lot more buyers for the high end ones ... if they advertised them. .. They are jam-packed with features found in Audis and BMWs, which cost thousands and thousands more. 2. They SHOULD NOT HAVE called it the 200. The last 200 car was starting to have some really bad things said about it (yes, some unfair) .. But the point is if they would have dropped the name, associated with a struggling, marginal vehicle - And came up with a brand new name, and presented the car it would be a different ballgame. Sergio is an idiot, and I'm glad he's leaving - - Because he really believes that if Consumer Reports says you made a crappy car, you made a crappy car. ... Point is put this car out with a new name; it's a NEW CAR ... People wouldn't mentally have to get the bad taste out of their mouths, from the last model - to step in the car, objectively, and take it on test-drive. Yes also making sure the 9-speed trans was better synced to the 2.4 liter motor, would've been a good move .. But if they do those two things, they didn't - sales would have been huge, and the bad word of Consumer Reports' review wouldn't have had the effect on the perception of the car, it did. .. They may not even have written it. (And I keep referring to it because go look at sales, of the 2015-2016 200 - They were pretty good; and when that hit they dropped off the cliff .. literally overnight) ... The car is NOT one of the worst investments they ever made .. Not itself ... It became a costly mistake, because of the way they mismanaged it's launch, and initial promotion of the different models. Lots of stupid things ... Like they should never have let any 200Cs be made with the 4 cylinder. Keep it at the lofty perch, at top car of the line [It has the V6. This is a 300 horsepower car .. Period.] ... They confused everything. .. I still love mine :)

I got about $6500 in rebates to trade in my old 2015 Fiat 500. This car is definely a major upgrade (interior wise). I loved the car so far transmission shifts smooth only in certain gears. Going up hills and inclines the transmission is the worst! Shifts hard and the “dog clutch gears” slam making the car jerk hard as if someone rear ended you. Dealer gives a hard time with any complaints about the transmission. I LOVE MY white leather seats, although they get dirty fast LOOKS GREAT. I get a lot of compliments with my car. The first 2,000 miles I thought i'd check the oil, it was extremely low. I know it's breaking in but now at 54,000 it burns a quart about every 1200 miles, they say it’s normal for this engine. The engine block looks as if there’s a little oil seeping out it dealer says it’s fine. It’s only going to get worse. Overall, the car is very poorly built. I don’t think it’ll even make 100,000 miles. Interior is a beauty but mechanically and suspension is crap!!!

Bought the car used with 20K on it, fuel pump was already bad, then I-pod wouldn't connect, sunvisor died after a few months, no light and no garage door opener, had 2 coolant leaks at 30K, hoses use C-clips instead of normal clamps, then an oil leak by the cooler/filter which is on top of the engine, fixed the leak with powertrain warranty at the dealer, oil leak came back after a month, then a year later the sunvisor died again, always something to deal with 2-3 times a year, most unreliable car ever. Transmission is the ZF-9, and is the clunkiest transmission I've ever driven, they should have stuck with a normal 6 speed trans.

200 c awd v6 every option available on the 200 that they had. 78,500 mi daily commuter (I drive a lot!) I’m looking to maybe buy one more since they are discontinued so I have one to replace this one in another 100k or so. Adaptive cruse is awesome, v6 is perfect balance of power and mileage, 9 speed has been flawless, interior and electronics is the best, only improvement would be a USB ports in back seat area. Awd is ok in snow, a little more spin is allowed before it kicks in than I’d like but it works great after it locks in . Brakes are good and pads last! I drive hard! Stock tires are crap (of course). The only repairs I’ve made is a new thermostat housing and gasket due to leak and new battery, factory one was crap (of course...lol). Do yourself a favor and Give this car a drive if you are in the market, don’t waste time on the I 4, v6 is a whole different animal- only way to go! All the bad reviews are by idiots who went to school to be a journalist not a machanic or a professional driver, so treat their OPINION as such and see for yourself.

Loved my state fleet vehicle, Chrysler 200 Touring

I was issued a 2017 Chrysler 200 Touring with the 2.4L MaxAir I4 engine with 89 miles showing on the odometer. I operated the car throughout the entire state of South Carolina working for state government, putting on a little over 39,000 miles. I cruised the highways from Myrtle Beach, Columbia, and to Greenville. The car was great! It was comfortable, accelerated well, and was quiet inside. I wished I could have bought the car back at the end of my employment, but that did not happen. The car was a good experience. My wife thought the passenger side seats were hard, but I did not share in that complaint. I am 6 feet, 1 inch and fit well behind the steering wheel. The trunk was a good size, and the rear seats could be folded down to accommodate the equipment of any trainee that I was mentoring. Of all things from my last state employment, I do miss that 2017 Chrysler 200 Touring being parked in my driveway. I was faithful to wash, wax and detail the car clean to ensure that taxpayers' investment in a fleet of Chrysler 200s was well supported!
