  • missed the mark - 2015 Chrysler 200
    By -

    I never was a Chrysler guy.. nore imagined me considering one.. after all my research I kept going back to this Chrysler 200 limited just something about its look but price point.. now first my intial test drive was a good experience.. The car has the means to fit anyones needs..Now I do wish this car had more room to breath with power the 4cyl 2.4 def has the get up an go but the 9 speed tranny really holds it back and keeps it clunky more than 40 per of the time.. taking corners can be alittle sketchy but overall not to bad.. road noise was good and it glides over imperfections in the road..I really wasnt a thrilled owner after 3 weeks of having the car and at barely 600 miles I had to send car in for a new tranny and headliner due to it buckled and creased front to back on driver side.. I was startingto think this was a bad purchase.. but I took a breath and figured all new cars have there hickups from time to time.. but now with the new tranny in I started to notice even more roughness with the tranny esp when coming to a stop it seems to want to buck u around like a bull at a rodeo now Chrysler says this is normal for this style and not to worry.. kinda makes you wonder with that response..now entering the car can be tricky esp if your a tall person.. Im only 57 and have hit my head couple times already.. the a beams are very oversized and can block your view.. fuel economy isnt bad currently getting 33.6 highway so not far off from there projected 36.. rear seats and legroom.. this Is where your eyes can play tricks til you actually get in.. and tend to notice foot room is bare minimal and comfort lacks just alittle...My overall rating on this would be 6 out of 10.. style is great but Im very unsure if Chrysler should stick with there 9 speed tranny.. For the money not bad but sometimes i wonder am i really getting what i truly thought i was.. guess only time will tell..

    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.

  • Disappointing - 2015 Chrysler 200
    By -

    I have owned my Chrysler 200c for 7 weeks. In this time it has been in the shop for 3 weeks. Has had a rear diff replaced, a sensor replaced and has misfired while in motion. Since it has made clicking sounds in the cv joint and the rear diff. Also it has been shifting hard. They wont let me have a new vehicle and the car keeps breaking down. They are supposed to give me a rental everytime it is in the shop but I end up having to pay 15$ a day for a "underage" fee and have a limit of 100km a day. My job is 40km away so I go over if I make my daily commute. They have a policy to not give out courtesy vehicle to person under 25. Poor customer service, poor reliability, and just a badexperianc

  • Its awesome but not that awesome - 2015 Chrysler 200
    By -

    This car looks classy and powerful, but it isnt as my expect. I have had some American models but through this Chrysler 200 LX 2.4L is just a low type of vehicle I ever had. I do like the interior, lights systems, and instrumentals. However, the engine handles not really good on the highway especially on the high speed (70mph+). I thought it is heavy type of sedan it should of handle pretty good, but nope it cant even beat 2.0L Ford Focus SE. Well, it is Ford so it might sound worse about how the appearance looks, but Ford now is a lot better and changed to the way the world supposed to. This 200 does give a hesitate during idling basically on the service road speeds, while you are stuck in the traffic, then when you try to idling to maintain speed, its just immediately, woof out of no where that almost hit the car in front of it. Overall, I dont really like the car that much.

  • Beautiful Car with Add-ons & Issues - 2015 Chrysler 200
    By -

    I purchased this car thinking that the bells and whistles of the vehicle would make up for the quality I had in my Dodge Charger. Within the first 30 days of owning the vehicle the transmission seemed to be shifting really hard and the radio would not work when I attempted to change stations, etc. We took it back to the dealer and they "flashed" the radio and then applied some update to the transmission. Within 2 months I was back again with the same issues, the same repair attempts were made. Two months later we were back again and they replaced my radio this time, then applied the same updates to the transmission. Every since then the transmission has continued to get worse with the shifting but the service department indicates that Chryslar has to tell them what to do with it. The radio has started having the same issues and had to be repaired again as well. I understand some of the issues that are beyond the manufacturers control, like the component to the radio that seems to frequently fail but the transmission issues have almost caused me to be hit by another vehicle. This is no longer an issue but it is a safetly concern at this point. As of today the service department has submitted a request to Chryslar for guidance - we will see if anything comes from it.

  • meh - 2015 Chrysler 200

    The 200 has a nice look and room enough inside but underwhelms in performance, fuel efficiency and the stereo with the uconnect system is kind of lame. So much sub but not enough power from smaller speakers makes bass heavy songs hard to enjoy. Im an audiophile so this really irritates me, may not be as big of a deal for others. The distance between city and hwy mpg is pretty serious, about 19-22 in city and 28-40 on freeway (depends on incline/grade). The 200 also suffers from a jankey throttle response. Ill lightly press on the pedal and get nothing, a slight press drops gears fast and pulls you a bit abruptly. Not fun. Its a good start to redoing the 200, but theres several miscues that keep it from being a real hit.

  • Close to BMW, but not there - unsafe at high speed - 2015 Chrysler 200
    By -

    There are definitely similarities to the BMW. But overall, its just not there yet. There is an emphasis on outward style, without the inside matching what is outside. Yet, there are definitely things about this car that excel. Driving in slow traffic is easy. The acceleration is good. Visibility with the side mirrors is excellent. But its simply not as refined as the BMW/Mercedes standard. Its the little things. Some things are unnecessary. Like the cruise control that tells you that its ready to put the cruise control on. BMW and others have a symbol. Thats all thats really necessary. The rear window visibility is poor. The acceleration on the vehicle is excellent, but not quite BMW. The main difference, though, and what makes this very American, is that driving at speeds higher than 60 or 70 in this car is dangerous and unstable. This is typical of American cars. It has electronic steering, which makes it very easy to steer and turn when making turns when backing in and out and in parking situations. But unfortunately, this translates to sloppy and dangerous steering at high speeds. You have to keep your hands on the wheel. You can feel the car go from side to side when you just turn the steering wheel very little, for example, when driving at 60 or 70. Its unacceptable. Because BMW and Mercedes have designed their cars to travel safely at high speeds for decades, its not a big deal. But for American cars, this is make or break. There are some cars that do well at this. But not many of them are American. And this car is not one of them.

  • Chrysler 200S - 2015 Chrysler 200
    By -

    Well I purchased this 200s my 1st new car in 10 years at first I was very excited to replace my old "06 Sebring with this new powerful 3.7L pinta star powered 200s first the engine is very fast and powerful no problem there, the 9 speed trans, well it needs a little, the 8.4" display is really nice and I liked the nav system the heater controls are a mixed bag you have to use the display and the external controls to work the climate system you have to look at the display and select to work all the functions you have to take your eyes off the road and that is not a good thing just to change the heater controls, the comfort and ride is where this car really failed me, the leather seats are fancy but very hard and very uncomfortable, and the ride is very harsh and very uncomfortable after 30min. on the highway I had to pull over I could not take it anymore and the 38psi low profile tires id not help the situation. After owning the car for 4 weeks I traded it back in lost a bunch of money on it. I purchased a new 2015 Chevy Malibu and I am much happier with it.

  • I am very hurt - 2015 Chrysler 200
    By -

    I have a 200 that I am scared to drive. I have not had my car for a year and the check engine light came. I went to pepboys the hooked the machine to it and told me it was a sensor. I took it to the dealer. My second issue was the fact that the shifter could move while I was driving. I was trying to turn up the radio and turned the shifter my car went into reverse with out pause. I explained this to the repair manager he did not respond. Before I got home after them having my car a week the check engine light was back on. Days after that the car dash said something about a throttle and the engine was overheating. Now the ne light is the RED one that said trans trouble service the shifter. I know I am not the smartest person in the world, but all of this and the car is not a year old!

  • Come On Chrysler You Can Do Better!!!!! - 2015 Chrysler 200
    By -

    Yeah the car looks nice and has somewhat of a luxury feel but the ride is anything but luxury. The transmission SUCKS to say the least. It is very jerky. Nothing smooth about it. It was so bad I took my car back to the dealership to see what the heck was wrong. They said they would do some computer updates that should take care of it. Well, it didnt take care of it, it got worse. GREAT!!! I guess this is just the way the car is. I had a Chrysler Sebring for over 10 years, its too bad the quality for Chrysler is going downhill. I will NEVER buy another Chrysler......well, unless they fix this issue.
