  So far, exceeds expectations - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By tspitzer - October 8 - 5:01 pm

  Im pretty happy with the car when I set the cruise control and roll to work, listening to music on that nice stereo. Its when I try to actually be a driver that it displays its inadequacy as a sport sedan. When you want to pass and you step hard on the gas, there is a noticeable hesitation before anything happens. Then you go, but not too fast. The transmission is a bit weird too. Id like to talk to the engineer who decided to put a six speed in this car. Between 0 and 30 it goes from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 and shortly after to 5. Thats a lot of shifting in a short period of time most of us 56 year olds dont need that. for full review see tkspitzernews.blogspot.com.

  Excellent Car - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By guinessman - October 6 - 10:42 pm

  I am a first time Chrysler buyer and typically pick European or Japanese brands. I have to say that once I drove the 200, I absolutely loved it. The press has been bashing the car, but I wonder how many of the "experts" actually drove it. The throttle tip-in has been criticized as too quick, quality too-low, fuel-efficinecy not good enough, and styling "behind competition." Has anyone seen and actually compared the competition feature for feature? The bottom line is that the 200 isnt a perfect car, but it is one that has a lot of character and quality to it. There is something very genuine about it. Its an underdog that over-delivers by my count. When price is considered, its a clear win

  Love the comfort! - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By 4realdoh - September 19 - 10:54 am

  Traded in my 09 Sante fe for the 200. Havent had an american car in YEARS! I have back and neck issues and LOVE the seat angle options. it is the most comfortable car seat I have ever been in. At 5 ft 6 I feel other cars gear more towards man height. Love the power, with the great gas mileage. LOTS of bells and whistles I never thought i would be able to afford. I am impressed!

  Disappointed - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By selfstarter - September 15 - 10:21 am

  I have had this car for 5 months and there have been several issues that have me wanting to get rid of it. Since the test drive the windshield has made me feel like I am looking through glasses and contacts at the same time. It is terrible uncomfortable. I actually went back to the dealership after purchase and test drove another only to have the same discomfort. Night time driving is impossible due to the headlights not lighting up the road unless I have my brights on. The dealership tested the angle of the headlights and found no adjustments to be needed. Also when raining, dont dare open the window or door unless you want to be soaked.

  Great car so far - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By shane31 - September 5 - 1:14 am

  I recently taded my 2008 Avenger on a new 200 limited Convertible. I only have about 700 miles on it so far, but its been great. I know the new hasnt worn off yet. I liked the Avenger, it was comfortable and I averaged around 24-26 in my daily driving, 32 on Hwy with the 2.4 four cylinder. However, the 200 is in another league, its really luxurious. It seems to be put together much better with a more solid feel. Everything in the interior is of a much higher quality. Much more quiet than the Avenger, and that was a sedan. A very good value for the money. All this plus a much more powerful engine and Im still getting 23.3 mpg( no hwy trip yet) with the same type of driving.

  First Chrysler - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By acer51 - September 4 - 5:35 am

  This is the first Chrysler I have purchased. 200 Convertible. Traded in a Toyota Solora Convertible. So far So Good. Really like the 200. Drives nice and has super nice styling inside and out. I am a bigger person and there is plenty of room in the front seat. Back seat space is limited for most people. A great value and is loaded with features.

  So far, so good - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By wns808 - August 30 - 5:00 pm

  Recently purchased a new 2011 Chrysler 200 Touring after coming from a gas-guzzing 2009 GMC Envoy, although it did take me a bit to become familiar once again with a midsize sedan, Im impressed with what Chrysler has done with the 200, as well as the fuel savings down the road

  Good looks and performance, Horrible Build Quality - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By philly33flyers - August 16 - 6:20 pm

  I purchased this car 2 months ago and have 3000 miles on it. Car drives great and has good power but there is 1 issue that has ruined the whole experience. The rear passenger side has the loudest wind noise I have ever heard on a car. People who sit in the back seat complain and think that the window is open when its not. Chrysler seems to not care about the problem and says that it is a "feature." Also, I agree with the previous reviewer about the drivers side floor mat moving around and getting stuck underneath the gas pedal. I brought this to Chryslers attention also and was told that there is nothing wrong with the mat. I have since thrown the mat in the trunk.

  Funny Story! - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By mh200 - August 11 - 9:05 pm

  I never thought in a million years that I would buy a Chrysler product. I drove my 2006 Supercharged Mustang to the dealership before they opened on a Sunday morning to look at a used Saleen Mustang. As I got to the dealership I saw a Bright white Chrysler 200 Convertible on the Showroom patio, and surprise surprise it was left unlocked. I got in it and was absolutely floored on how nice it was. I looked at the car for so long that the Sales team arrived as I was looking at the car. I went on a test drive and the rest is history. So why all the bad "Expert Reviews? the car is no BMW, but look at the reviews from the people whom actually own one! Good-bye Ford, I will never look back!

  Pretty but nowhere near perfect - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By nlr - July 20 - 3:54 pm

  I purchased a Chrysler 200 S V6 and was told it was an "award winning engine". Im not convinced of that. I love the car...comfortable, beautiful. But I must say, I am very disappointed in the performance. It does not get good gas mileage at all. I have just under 7,000 miles on the car and the engine has begun to rev while driving with no response from the accelerator at all. Then all of the sudden it engages again with a hard bump. This has happened several times during highway driving and once under 40 mph. There is also a problem with the floor matt, which is custom designed for the S, bunching up under the accelerator. Everyone loves the car, but they dont drive it.
