Chrysler 200
Select a Year
(4 available)
The 2013 Chrysler 200 receives only modest changes, with the popular S trim remade as a package for the Touring and Limited trims. A new 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty backs the 200, and the convertible gets an upgraded suspension for a more engaging driving experience.
While the 2012 Chrysler 200's Sebring roots are still evident in its profile, it's a new experience from the driver's seat. The front-wheel drive sedan's strong 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 nearly matches the efficiency of the entry 2.4-liter 4-cylinder, handling is crisp, and the cabin offers a premium feel. After such a drastic transformation for 2011, little is changed for 2012.
In what has to be one of the most ambitious model overhauls in Chrysler's long and rocky history, the company has revised or completely remade its entire model line including its Dodge and Jeep divisions. Considering where the company was just a year and half ago, this kind of massive retooling is nothing short of miraculous. Of the many models to see an improvement, none was more in need than the dowdy Chrysler Sebring Sedan. Given a new look, a new interior and a whole new name, the Chrysler 200 is a much more competent competitor to such vehicles as the Volkswagen Jetta and Honda Accord, although it remains to be seen if consumers will overlook the still somewhat dated design in favor of the tempting goodness simmering beneath the car's sheet metal.

"I have owned Toyotas before and was looking to purchase a new Camry. The dealer would not budge on price so I did some comparison shopping. Was drawn to the 200 for the price. I was blown away when I took the test drive! The 200 was far more quiet than the Camry and had tons more features (navigation, leather, etc) than the Camry for thousands less. Additionally, the interior looked like something from a LExus, compared to the cheap plasticy interior of the Camry. The car is very comfortable on long and short trips and is super fun to drive."

"Bought the 200 S over a month ago and have 2500 miles so far. Power from the V-6 is very strong. Comfort is very good, as well as tight handling and super smooth 6 speed transmission. Only requests would be a power passenger seat. U Connect phone is flawless and the GPS/Satellite/Boston Acoustics stereo is first class (I'm an audio tech and hate cheap imitations). Would highly recommend this car over Hyundai, Honda, Toyta, Ford, and Chevy. My mileage in metro Denver has been 26, highway over 30. Wow!"

Beautiful Classy Car - Transmission Issues

"I love this car except for the lurching transmission issues that I am having. Two years ago I purchased a brand new Dodge Grand Caravan that began having transmission issues six months after I purchased it. I had it in the shop at least four to five times before I finally gave up and traded it for this car. Now, this car is doing the same thing! It happens when I speed up or slow down. I have already had it in the shop once. I was told that it only neede a "software update". What?! It didn't work! Other than that, the car is beautiful and rides like a dream. Unfortunately, I don't feel like I can keep this car because Chrystler can't seem to fix their transmission problems. I took a loss on the van and I apparently have to take a loss on this car too. Not a financially wise decision to purchase this car. Trading as soon as I can and it won't be fore another Chrystler!"
