  2011 Chrysler 200 - A Great Year - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By Deidre Burke - December 1 - 4:09 pm

  On the highway it rides like a luxury sedan, around town its adequate. Getting in and out of the car is perfect, not too low or high.

  Bought it with 2800 miles on it. - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By Happy in Kentucky - July 25 - 9:28 pm

  Purchased it with only 2800 miles on it and it was three years old. I average about six hundred miles a week and the mileage averages 26 to 27, city and highway. 29.9 highway only. Brakes have squeaked in reverse since Ive owned it. Torque steer is really bad, you kick it you had better have a grip on the steering wheel. Ive only had one warranty issue, the paint on the aluminum hood is bubbling. Dealer was great Chrysler is going to replace and paint a new hood for it. Its a blast to drive and is way more comfortable than the new ones, Ive rented a couple of them for work and have issue getting in and out of them without bumping my head. The biggest thing to get used to is the visibility from it being a rag top. The windshield sits a bit too low. But so far Im happy with it.

  My black beauty - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By haydenbe - October 12 - 3:25 pm

  I just bought a used 2011 200 just over a week ago. So far i like it it quite a bit. Im coming from an S10 so im not used to driving a car. So far i really like it. The interior is vastly improved over the old Sebring. I only have the 2.4lt but at least it has the six speed auto. While it wont win any drag races its perfectly adequate most people. The exterior is really nice also.

  No Lemon Here! - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By chrysler200 - July 12 - 12:51 pm

  After reading some of these reviews, I have to say I must have a properly assembled 200 convertible. I purchased the 2011 new, drove it to the mid-west and back to California and it performed beautifully. Loved the comfort level with the seating. I still have it, have done the proper services and it has had absolutely no issues what-so-ever. Nothing. The interior is actually quieter than my previous convertible. Almost 40,000 miles later, it still feels like a new car. Oh, it is a 4-cylinder, so great gas mileage. It has been reliable, comfortable seating/roomy, Good trunk space, and interior buttons easily assessable (on steering wheel AND on front console.

  Nice little car - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By bobntina - July 3 - 9:31 am

  This car came to me with my new bride. She bought it new and it had 3,500 miles on it when we met. It now has about 30,000. No real problems. The breaks squeak when backing up, plenty of life left on em. Were fixing to replace the tires, just worn out. Mechanically sound, very reliable. The only thing I hate, the chrome around the clock is a wicket reflector at certain times of the day. I have to throw a shirt over it. BLINDING!

  200 Transmission Problems - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By covington2 - August 28 - 9:38 am

  In December of 2012 I purchased the 200 Chrysler 4dr V6. At about 3400 miles on odometer - it began with engine light of and on (have photo) but dealer can not find issue nor reproduce, along with a thump/jolt when shifting gears, when driving between 10 - 40 mph. I have been to the dealer and had Chrysler representative ride along and the thump occured on 3 occations within 15 min test drive. Chrysler rep stated "this is a normal experience with Chrysler autos" Dealer but Mopar additive in transmission to "help the gears shif smoother" it did for short while and then the thump started again. Now at about 9000 miles on the auto and a week in the shop for diagnostics, dealer offers a trade i

  BUYING THIS CAR: A BAD DECISION! - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By 40willys - May 17 - 12:35 am

  Let me begin by saying this is my wifes car and she is mostly happy it. However, she is not a car person. This is a car for old folks there is nothing young, exciting or sexy about this short, stubby looking, boring car. It has a dead spot in the accelerator and the car doesnt move until youve pressed pedal down over an inch dealer says thats normal. It had a water leak where the drivers door glass meets the "A" pillar took 3 tries to repair it. Handling at speed is almost dangerous with lots of torque steer and no road feedback through the electric power steering. Fuel economy is poor (17 MPG combined). Trunk lid is very heavy due to convertible top mechanism thats attached to it.

  Middle front seat console - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By arnold123 - March 26 - 8:55 am

  I have a 2011 Chrysler 200 with only 13,000 miles. While getting into the car I leaned on the center console. It totally shattered. The whole thing was made of plastic holding the console on. Chrysler told me that this was not a warranty item and I have to pay for it. I even bought the extended warranty. Cheap materials make for a bad car.

  What Chrysler Doesnt Tell You... - 2011 Chrysler 200
  By ktaylorm - December 9 - 12:06 pm

  Bought my 2011 200 Ltd. brand new and sadly from day one I have had a constant vibration from 50-70 mph, the front end sounds like its falling apart and the car cannot be aligned. The vehicle only has 27,000 and its had the front axle, brake caliber, struts, sway links and tires replaced. The dealership has done everything physically and mechanically possible and states "they cannot fix the car". Chryslers response is these are characteristic of this car funny I dont remember seeing that on the sticker or in my owners manual. And the fun continues, as of yestserday, theres now a clunking in the steering column. And, Chrysler says this car doesnt meet the Lemon Law.
