Chrysler 200 2012Change

I had this car for about 5 years so far so good nothing to get fixed on it other then break pads. I find the gas is amazing on the car and it best suit for our family, nothing too big but also not to small. great car overall.

We are going on four years with our first car as a married couple. It was a great deal to buy it off our parents--no interest! We have travelled so much and we get great gas mileage. It is a little low when seated--something I'm looking to change with our next! But, overall, great start to our automobile life!

For Context?

Bought this vehicle two years back, with additional packages that included Navigation and an in dash UConnect System.

The Negatives:

It's served me well, however what's been a concern is that maintenance on this vehicle is especially difficult to carry out.

As an example, simple things like reaching to replace the battery is difficult, as it is not in the engine bay. Rather beside the tire (Requiring you to remove the entire tire to reach it). Troublesome unnecessary design flaws like these, makes for a tiresome maintenance experience. You will not be able to carry out most of the necessary repairs by yourself, even changing a light bulb will require special tools and a mechanic.

Other than that, my only other complaint is regarding the Touring and LX packages. Which both have an underpowered four cylinder engine. While it is not noticeable in city driving, that extra power will definitely be apparent on the highway (especially at launch 40km-120km). Definitely a power lag delay there.

The Positives:

Remodelled design is definitely a plus over the older Sebring. Chrysler has done a great job at designing a vehicle that looks premium.

The interior is also quite nice, and things are exactly where the need to be. Also, the price of the car is quite affordable. At 10K-15K this will definitely be a nice decent car for someone needing something to get around and last for a couple years.

This car is one of the best cars in its class and is able to compete with any higher class vehicle, both import or domestic.The 3.6 liter Pentastar V6 is so powerful,(almost 300 hp), yet it is so easy on fuel. Chrysler absolutely produced a winner with this vehicle. Solid, fun and offers a lot for so little!!

Sips fuel like a small car with the drive and roominess of a large car. Well optioned for the money. Overlooked value in a nice vehicle. My second one in 4 years. Regretted selling the first one. My only dislike is the sound of the 4 cylinder motor when pushed.

Great car, very spacious, reliable, and love the auto start on the cold winter days! This car cleans up really nice, has a great sounds system and speakers. I find this car easy to maneuver and see your surroundings.

Absolutely love this car! With the option between the 2.4 and the 3.6, we went with the 3.6. It's a little hard on fuel (32imp), but I absolutely love that almost 300hp under foot when it's wanted! Combine it with touch screen, GPS and Satellite Radio, it's awesome!
Have had a couple little warranty things...one was a bad strut mount, but I did buy it used with 12000km. I noticed a new tire where the strut mount was bad, so I presume somebody wacked a hole real hard.
Second was a flickering illumination light in the instrument cluster, to where the cluster had to be replaced...New technology isn't always the best in this case because I presumed it would have been a $1 bulb, so glad it was warrantied!
Overall have 37km on it now and loving it!

Great fuel efficirent car. Drives like a 6 cylynder without the expense! Very comfortable saeting both front seat and rear and tons of trunk space.

this certain chrysler stood out compared to others that i considered buying. Everyone compliments how how nice it is, and i love the design

Had this car for a week and was pleasantly surprised how well it drove and how comfortable it was. The exterior is nothing great, but it performs very well and handles well.

Gas mileage is decent, but not great compared to where the market is headed. However, the gas gets used well. The car has decent acceleration for it's engine size and handles well on the highway as well as zipping around town.

The interior is well laid out and most amenities are available. It lacks a USB charging port, which is a bit of a let down for this day and age. The sound system is good and the seats quite comfortable for longer trips.

If I had to choose a rental car again, this would be near the top of my list along with the Sonata.

I drive this car every day on an 82 km commute to and from work. It is all highway driving, and the ride is really nice and smooth. There is a liitle road noise in the cabin, but nothing that makes me crazy. The fuel economy is pretty good, ( avg 6.5 l/100km in warm weather and 7.0 in cold)
Would I buy this car again? You betcha! great value for the money!
