  • Rating from a long time Honda/Acura Owner - 2015 Chrysler 200
    By -

    Totaled my Acura RL on the highway. This rating is based on a car rental of the Chrysler 200 for 2.5 weeks. I am a long time Japanese car driver. I have rented Ford Mustangs, driven Ford Fusions ect. I never thought once about a Chrysler and this is the first time I have driven one in my life. I have driven some american made cars like Ford Taurus, Pontiac Grand Am. I have driven Lexus, bmw. I have to say, for a medium size sedan this car has decent acceleration, the drive is nice and the interior and body styling has a nice clean look. It does not have as much horsepower as my rl. But for a 4 cylinder this car can go when you need it to in traffic. I saw one on the road earlier this year and thought it looked great. I really thought this car was the size of my wifes civic. But, when I parked next to it, the car is almost the size of a Honda Accord. It takes up more space in my garage than the RL. The exterior body style has some bold and larger shapes to it than I am used to. So it throws me off a little when I try parking it. That is just a personal thing that one can get used to easily. The voice commands are easy to follow. The technology in this car is also easy to figure out rather quickly. Without reading any manual I figured out bluetooth, radio, media, voice calling ect. It is much easier to figure out than the Ford Fusion, which I am still baffled about. I didnt have time to read the owners manual driving 100 plus miles per day sometimes. I drove this car 1500 miles in 2 weeks. So, I put it to the test. The one thing I found quirky was in the voice command it is difficult to navigate to send a text message. It is easy to respond to one. But it asked me for some predefined responses to incoming text messages sometimes. And then sometimes the voice commands work, sometimes it shuts off and makes a weird noise. I think this all could be cleared up if I had time to read the book. But for the most part, the systems in the car were easy to figure out. And this is my first upgraded car with newer wireless and blue tooth since 2004. The model was a 2002 I last owned. Last new car we bought was in 2010. Cars have come a long way. Cons: the hazard light button is directly underneath the center graphic console where you access the radio/ media source ect. I found that while i was fidgeting in traffic with the radio the hazard lights would come on. I probably turned them on by accident about 15 times over the course of two weeks. They need to move that somewhere further away from a high traffic hand area. The other part that I dont necessarily like is the compartment that is underneath the console in the middle of the front seats. It is hidden underneath and a little difficult to access. Especially when I commute nearly 3 hours a day. I need to pay full attention all the time I am driving so this is not the best place for a compartment when i need to grab things. However, it does have a nice slick look to where you cant see that console. So, function is my main priority, but if you like slick looks then it does look very nice. Last thing I disliked, I felt like there was a lack of areas to put things I need access to. I commute a ton so I have to bring a bunch of things with me. I had piles of stuff on top of every surface. Even the cup holders that had cups in them had things piled on them. And when the wife took a ride I had to take the entire seat full of things out. The other cars ive owned have had bigger center consoles along with a slightly better thought out configuration that is a little more space efficient. Not a huge biggie for everyone. But when I drive hours to job sites. I need ease of access and efficiency. One thing I will say though, when I was younger I would have been in the market for a car more like this. I would say 20s to 30s. I can take a guess on price and personally I think this is a great car for the money. The interior I had only had some trim leather. The seats were fabric but the wheel and some other areas had leather. The seats were very comfortable. The black powder coated metal along with the chrome accent inside has a really nice look to it. Aesthetically, this car is really nice. Even though much of the interior is plastic, the designers thought it out. The positives far outweigh the negatives and I feel this is a great family car. This rental has given me a great first impression of Chrysler. I never really thought much about a chrysler or even contemplated ever driving one. I will say, this makes me want to test drive a Chrysler 300. The new styles they have out look very slick. It is one of the best looking cars on the road. The entire time I was test driving hybrids due to needing great epa for the driving. I drove a brand new 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid. This is also a very nice car, drives well and has a nice slick look. I think both the chrysler and Fusion have a really nice look to the body style. The car is peppy and fun.

  • Mama Ts new 200C - 2015 Chrysler 200
    By -

    This is an excellent car. The backup camera is helpful, electronics awesome, we just love this car. We have had it a month and six days, and no doubt it was the best choice. Beats our Camry hands down on comfort. When on the interstate you cannot even hear any road noise or traffic it is so well insulated. One problem we have, or I should say I have, is that the cooled seat comes on every time you start it. Mama likes it because it has leather seats, we live in Florida, and she wears shorts, but it freezes me. Added value of Sirrus XM, and 911 assist for free for a year is nice. As mentioned above we have only had it for a little over a month and it has 670 miles on it, so not sure of maintenance problems. Mama drives it around town and we have been on the interstate a few times and the gas milage is great, filled it up twice in 670 miles and it is on 3/4 of a tank now.

  • Love this 200 Limited! - 2015 Chrysler 200
    By -

    I have only just started driving this car as I just bought it this week, but I am in love with this car! It has everything I want and need At a very reasonable price point. I have owned many cars over the past 25 years, and they all have had their good points, but this 200 has it all in spades! There really isnt much to get excited about in the midsize sedan market, but the 200 maybe the game changer. I have been a loyal Nissan customer for 20 years. Overall I have found their vehicles to be reliable, attractive and a very good price-to-performance value. Most recently I owned a 2013 Nissan Murano and liked the car, but the mileage was terrible. I went for the bigger smoother V6 with AWD, but the gas was killing me and really much more room than I needed as primarily I used it as a commuter. So, after my car was totaled in a freak accident (nobody hurt but the car), I unexpectedly came on to the new car market. I knew I needed to downsize a bit, but I did not want a compact car, as they are just too small for my 6 foot frame. I am a little spoiled and want and expect all the bells and whistles, yet I had to have good gas mileage as I have a long commute everyday. I rented a 2015 Nissan Altima, and was fairly satisfied with it, not excited, but it felt solid, so I was going to go ahead and get it. Then I heard about the Chrysler 200. We had one of the first 300s on the market in 2005 and loved-it, but had to sell it for a mini-van for the kids. So having had a very good experience with Chrysler in the past, I decided to check out the new 200 before I bought the Altima. Am I glad I waited! The 200 blew away the Altima in every way! The body style was modern, Euro-classy, yet sporty. The interior appointments made the Nissan look cheap and even bad in comparison. When I compared the 200 Limited to the Altima S, it was a no- brainier. I would have to go up to the SV In an Altima and pay fairly more to get the same in the 200 Limited for much less cash. The only area I believe the Altima was better was the 4-cylinder engine was a bit more peppy, but not by much, and the engine noise was noticeably worse in the Nissan. The Chrysler is so much more refined and the interior fits like a glove. Chrysler was also offering fantastic incentives that made the purchase extremely attractive financially. Mileage is great, the center console system is attractive and very easy to use. It maybe the perfect commuter car ever! If you are thinking about an Altima, Accord, or Camry, do check this car out first as you may find, like I did, that it really cant be beat, and even is exciting!

  • Impressed with the V6!! Not so impressed with tran - 2015 Chrysler 200
    By -

    Overall I am satisfied with my Chrysler 200, its my first chrysler product, I love the styling of my car, its worth the extra money for a V6 and the black/grey rim option upgrade like I chose. However my only complaints is the transmission shifting, its mostly rough 2nd to 3rd gear often, also when i have my iphone plugged in to the entertainment system, the music played through my speakers is very static, bluetooth audio playback is fine, also there are misc noises rattles from sunglasses holder and center console that I shouldnt hear at 5600 miles, but I have to take it in for recall anyway. Other than that the engine is great, lots of power and looks like a nice car, I have 3 year lease, so awhile to go!! but I love it!!

  • Our Blue Ivy - 2015 Chrysler 200
    By -

    This is a good looking car, but it is tight on the inside. It hesitates when you step on the gas and then jumps forward. It stalls when pulling a hill. Very Good on GAS!!! We love the technology, blue tooth and all but wish it had a cd player as well. While it is not a family car, just a little more room would really be nice. It does give a smooth ride but you can hear all kinds of road noise, not quiet at all.

  • 2.4 is "a pleasant surprise" - 2015 Chrysler 200
    By -

    Only reason I am giving a 4 for reliability is because of Chryslers previous track record with this car. So far I have had 0 issues. I saw the 200s when they came out and loved the new styling. Ill admit it is a bit conservative but I think thats what gives it more of a classy look rather than a more aggressive look that will not age well. Originally I was going to get the 200s with the V6 for that tremendous power, but after comparing the two, I preferred the way the 4 cylinder composed itself and handled. Even though the 200s 0-60 is 9 sec, in normal driving it feels much more powerful and very smooth. The transmission was a little quirky at first but after break in it smoothed out.

  • Comfortable Car - 2015 Chrysler 200
    By -

    The V6 has plenty of power and the suspension soaks up bumps nicely. Materials and fit and finish are first rate. Styling in and out are not flashy but very tasteful. I got the “linen” interior which is striking but very rare. The car feels very solid. For the price it’s an enjoyable car and a great value.

  • Trying American....Again..... - 2015 Chrysler 200
    By -

    My last new Detroiter was an08 Buick Enclave. A great car until the SECOND transmission went out at 156k, so on to the Germans for me. Tiring of $1000 repair bills every visit, I rolled the dice on a 2015 200S with every option sans LED lights and adaptive cruise. Well be piling on the highway miles over the next 3 years, so the claimed 29mpg for an AWD vehicle sold me. The only other AWD sedan that came close was the Subaru Legacy, larger interior, more safety features, but it was an absolute dog on the highway. Got 18% off sticker and the ext warr for half price: made them throw in the True Coat (see: Fargo, the movie).
