Chrysler 200
Select a Year
(3 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!"

Pros: "Good price, great power, solid handling"
Cons: "Factory tires - will upgrade next year"

"Purchased the car new 6 months ago. MPG and handling are excellent. Love the power - the V6 gets up and goes. The 6 speed auto with slap shift is smooth and responsive. Only issue has been the factory tires (typical of nearly all new cars). Goodyear had to replace at 7,000 due to severe tire pull. Now that the new ones have 2,100 miles on them it is smooth and easy to drive. Have owned 4 other Mopar's in the past (including 2006 300, 2002 Intrepid, 2001 Concorde, 1997 Cirrus). This is the best yet and am very pleased with the progress Chrysler has made. Test drove imports (Honda, Hundai, Nissan) and very disappointed. You get much more car with the 200. Worth a long test drive and open it up a few times to feel the 283 HP the new V6 delivers."
