  tricky transmission - 2016 Chrysler 200
  By Sharon O. - July 21 - 10:20 am

  I had the Chrysler 200S for only a few days. I had to make a sudden stop .Then the car went into Park, & I couldnt get it into drive for several minutes. I finally was able to drive the car home. When I went into the car the following day, it was again stuck in Park. It had to be towed to the dealer. They gave it back to me later that afternoon. but three days later, the problem occurred again, & again it had to be towed back to the dealer where it has been for almost two weeks. I am very discouraged.

  lemon - 2016 Chrysler 200
  By Emma Hanson - July 16 - 1:06 pm

  Bought the car brand new first month had to take it back when in cruse control going up a small sill will slow down about 7 miles form set control then coming down it will speed up over 12 miles and I say over cause I had to disengage the control to slow down, took it to the dealership and they told me it is the nature of the model. Three months later I took it in for problems with front passenger carpet they semi fixed it, a month later took it back in for same reason they replaced it, about six months later took it in for a nose on the nob shifter every time I stepped on the beak and only with the motor running if you stepped on the break and put it on drive it wouldnt happen, the fixed that, it was a censer in the shifter. Couple of moths later doing about 75mph down a busy Hwy I have a truck on my back when to accelerate to pass and get out of this trucks way, all my gages when haywire and car when from 75 to 45 check engine light came on and heat gage showed it was hot so I pulled over gave it a few minutes though well Ill limp to the nearest exit stepped on gas and guess what went back to 75 like nothing had just happened, however the check engine light stayed on so took it back in following morning after all this was on a Sunday, they checked it out said it was a censer in the transmission, fixed that got it back a week later, the day I got it back went home at home go put it in reverse there it set transmission would not engage, took it back next day they had the car for another week they couldnt fine nothing wrong cense then it shifts funny, and now just took it in for the carpet issue AGAIN. Im at the point that I dont know what to do any more I just know I dont want this car. I love the car the design of the car the looks but not all the problems Ive been having

  The Silent Stunner - 2016 Chrysler 200
  By Sergio Salup - April 10 - 6:42 am

  I got an amazing deal on a 3.6 liter V-6 Chrysler 200S and I LOVE IT!!!! I come from driving Cadillac and Audi so Im telling you, it is an amazing value and something that doesnt look like anything on the road. The swooping coupe like look is an elegant yet sporty one... I truly recommend!

  Not for Us...even with the Incentive - 2016 Chrysler 200
  By FDR - February 26 - 9:54 am

  What drew us in was the massive discount on this car--nearly $10,000. But the cars sluggish responsiveness and hesitant acceleration was a deal breaker. A 6 cylinder should handle better. Also problematic was the lack of rear seat room--only two adults fit comfortably--and hitting my head getting in and out. The car also did not have enough hauling capacity for our needs...we wanted to pit a trailer hitch on the car but it would void the warranty. No deal for us here.

  My Wonder Chrysler 2016 200C - 2016 Chrysler 200
  By scott ross - February 19 - 7:35 pm

  I rented this car because mine was in the shop and loved the feel of the car and the interior was outstanding. I found out that my car was going to be at the dealership for a long time due to a part delay. I rented this 200 for 1 month and my wife fell in love with it. Long story short...my car was recalled and I bought a 200 with the works and it was the best decision Ive made in a long time. If youre looking for a luxury look that causes stares to identify what type of car youre driving this is the one for you! Rich look for a reasonable price. Only down side Ive had was that navigation is not standard feature for 200c model. I have the 8.4 Uconnect with the Alpine 9 speaker system but would have to pay $695 additionally for just navigation. Not pleased to say the least and at this point will not incur the additional cost for what should be a standard option in such a nice car. Overall rating 9.

  Great Value on a Great Car! - 2016 Chrysler 200
  By Anthony - November 12 - 9:41 pm

  Although I have owned my 2016 Chrysler 200S V6 AWD for 2 weeks and have a little under 400 miles on the odometer I can say with certainty that I absolutely love this car. Due to my job and being in the North East I needed an AWD vehicle and this Chrysler more than fits the bill. It has a nice and aggressive exterior design and the interior is absolutely fantastic. The front seats are comfortable and supportive while the controls are within easy reach. I purchased mine fully load with every option available. Heated and ventilated leather front seats, heated steering wheel, blind spot detection, navigation, panoramic moon roof, alloy wheels, rear seat vents and auto start. I traded my Honda Accord Sport for my 2016 Chrysler 200S and have been smiling ear to ear since. Previous to the Honda Accord Sport I owned a Mitsubishi Lance Ralliart that had a turbo charged 2.4 liter 4 cylinder engine yet my Chrysler 200S performs almost as well. Bare in mind that the Ralliart was a sports car and the Chrysler is a family sedan yet the 295 horsepower V6 has plenty of power when needed and the Sport mode will push you back into your seat if you get hard on the gas. 0-60 in about 5.8 seconds is plenty quick for me especially when my Ralliart went 0-60 in 5.5 seconds. Its basically an AWD family sedan muscle car that has a sweet sounding exhaust. I will say that this car is by no means perfect. The 9 speed automatic transmission can be a bit clunky at times, the stock tires are terrible and rear seat headroom is an issue if you have passengers over 6 feet tall riding in the back. Im not in love with the braking either as the car is heavy but it my opinion the braking should be more responsive. Perhaps I just need to get used to it. However, when you take over $10,000 in incentives into consideration and can buy a car like this for under $30K its an absolute no brainer. 3 years 36,000 miles bumper to bumper warranty and 5 years 60,000 miles on the powertrain. If youre like me and are looking for an AWD vehicle that has sharp looks, plenty of cargo room, have little ones and want a vehicle that can get you from 0-60 in less than 6 seconds look no further than the Chrysler 200S AWD V6. Its being discontinued so get one while you can before its too late.

  A Sporty Sedan That Delivers - 2016 Chrysler 200
  By Bill Tabor - October 13 - 11:15 am

  Had just purchased this vehicle on July 15th 2016, and at time of purchase really didnt know much about it, but considering the great looks inside and out, a great warranty, and of all the bells/ whistles this vehicles came with, although a little more expensive than the Ford Fusion and other vehicles in its class, its cost was justified depending on what you were looking for in a new sedan. The exterior of vehicle is sporty and luxurious in appearance, great body fit, and a flawlessly applied metallic clear coat paint job, not the case of which I ran in to w/ other new vehicles that Ive purchased in the past. Entering the vehicle can be a tight situation depending on your height, this is due to the 200 sedans low roof line which is low/ slopped, and further creating a space/ headroom problem once inside the vehicle for driver/ passengers six feet and taller. Once inside/ seated I found the design and quality of materials used to make up same was of higher quality vs. competitors, again it was a mix of sport/ luxury which complimented overall appearance of vehicle inside/ out. The seating was very comfortable and supportive, and making long drives less stressful and satisfying, and short drives fun. The dash/ console are cockpit like design, and a dial for gear selection inspired by jaguar has taken the place of the traditional hand shifter. Placement of instrumentation is good, all is within easy sight for driver. Lighting of same is a nice touch that is easy on the eyes/ enhances the driving experience when driving at night. What I am disappointed in are the speakers for stereo, I love music and these speakers are only adequate, I soon plan to replace them w/ aftermarket speakers of higher quality/ function. The sliding arm rest on nice sized floor console between driver/ passenger was a nice touch/ convenient, and since my limited lacked to presence of a cd player inside the console will be the right place for me to have one installed. Noise level inside passenger compartment while in operation is near zero other than the normal/ anticipated road noise of tires which is hard to muffle on any vehicle. Wind noise is absent, ride is super smooth, steering precise along w/ a good feel for the road. Yes, the interior of the Chrysler 200 is smaller/ cramped than Ford Fusion and others, but once inside its a great driving experience, up-scaled and nice to be in depending on what youre looking for in a sedan as this sedan is not for everyone. Trunk space is large for a sedan of this size, and just getting back to one more exterior feature that I love is the projection headlights that automatically self adjust for night-time driving. Despite past complaints of the 2015 200 sedan of computer improperly processing commands to the 9 speed automatic transmission while in operation and creating an unpredictable driving experience, ie; lack of acceleration, hesitation of transmission to shift and adjust to normal driving conditions during city/ highway driving, for 2016 it appears Chrysler did correct this matter as from a standing stop from 0-50 mph my 4 cylinders performance is normal/ adequate, and while highway driving the 4 cylinder has more than enough power thanks to the 9-speed automatic, rpms remain low, top speeds can be unthinkable, drive one and see. But in ending keep in mind this is not a muscle car and expectations may vary as to performance standard of others. To me the 4 cylinder engine is ample and responsive, it provides good performance for what it is intended. If you want more power in this sedan the V-6 comes highly recommended, the call is yours to make, drive one and see. Although new, Ill remain optimistic of my purchase and overall experience, this is one nice sports sedan that turns heads and meets my present expectations, I would recommend this vehicle to a friend.

  Owned for nearly 3 Years Now - 2016 Chrysler 200
  By DK67 - October 5 - 11:13 pm

  I have not had it into the shop for anything except oil changes. Yes, the transmission occasionally (rarely) jerks in low gears 1st or 2nd, but not a big deal. It rides great on highway. I have the 4 cylinder, so its not super quick, but it gets up to speeds fine and doesnt feel bogged down except for maybe when you stop and start a lot in city with AC running. I would have gotten the 3.6L if it was my only car, but it was a second car I bought to use as a daily driver. The 2.4L is fine for me. The looks, features and interior are good for the price. I dont know why people have trouble getting in, Im 62" and I dont struggle at all. The only interior rattle Ive had is from the sunglasses holder, which I fixed with a piece of stick on vinyl to eliminate the plastic on plastic rubbing that was occurring. If you want to compare it to a luxury sedan, yeah, its going to lose. Its also half the price and still performs great for a daily car. I purchased mine with serious rebates, so I paid only about 2/3 of sticker price, so Im very happy with it. I have leather, heated seats, cruise, rear camera, blue tooth, touchscreen, usb, power seats an much more for under $20K. I also own a mint condition 2008 CTS, yet I dont feel like Im slumming when I drive my 200. I think Chrysler is making a mistake discontinuing these. My wife drives a loaded Chrysler Town & Country that has had several issues, but the 200 has been problem free. I have no plans on getting rid of it as it looks and rides like new.

  An accurate review from an OWNER - 2016 Chrysler 200
  By Ernie - October 4 - 6:22 pm

  my credit is not good and it was hard finding a used car that was in great shape. After 5 hrs I was ready to give up. Then they bring out this 2016 black chrysler 200 with 10k miles. I drove it and LOVED the experience. I was approved and because they used the same bank as the one I financed my ford in, I was able to get it with NOTHING down. Ive had it for 3 months now and I have to say, I LOVE this car. FIRST the drive... I sometimes think my car is off when Im waiting at a light because its very quiet but it roars if you mash the gas peddle. Its such a smooth drive and the seats are comfortable. Sometimes my wife drives it and I end up falling asleep. The gas mileage is okay. I just tried ethanol e85 gas after I found out it can take it. Needless to say the milage is much better and the gas is cheaper! Inside the car is great too. Volume and station control are behind the wheel. USB ports, cup holder that slides and reveals a hidden compartment aka STASH SPOT, LOL. Love the touchscreen and my xm/sirus radio. Climate control is amazing as well. Other than the gas which now is better with e85, I cant think of anything that I DONT like about the car. Beautiful headlights and a beautiful body, I get compliments about my car. I read some reviews and laughed. A guy said he was 510 and heavy and it was hard for him to get in and out the car? Im 511 240 lbs and I have no problem. Maybe is seat was to high, and you can change the elevation of the driver seat..some ppl dont care to look at these details and judge it. YOU have to own a car, not rent it, to get a review that is worth reading. I mean, like others have said,I see this car everywhere. if it was a lemon or a bad car,we wouldnt be seeing them a lot.

  No. No, no, no. - 2016 Chrysler 200
  By Lewis - September 29 - 12:10 pm

  I rented this machine for a week while visiting wine country (Napa/Sonoma) and was so glad to be rid of it. (Note: be careful when renting a car that says something like "Toyota Camry or similar" - the "or similar" may be a Chrysler 200) The drivers seat took two days to put into a quasi-comfortable position. The grip to enable the driver to close the door was virtually unreachable, requiring you to nearly get out of the car to reach it. Worse, there seemed to be no way to turn off the radio, only mute it. This became problematic when Id paired my phone to the entertainment system - the radio had to be on for me to hear my phones GPS directions, but they were drowned out by whatever station the radio was on. And the radio (as well as the AC) came on as soon as I started the car, no matter how I tried to defeat it. The most incredible thing about this rolling disaster film was the transmission. It was beyond automatic; it was undecided. The car seemed to vacillate as to which gear it most preferred when going up a hill, shifting from low to another gear to another and back to low in a sort of random, capricious style similar to when our then-teenage daughters chose which lipstick to wear. Worst of all, the transmission is controlled by a knob on the center console. A knob! And right next to the transmission knob is another knob that controls the fan speed. It was quite easy to turn the fan up or down and instead turn the transmission knob. Im confident the designer of the car is named "Sparky."
