"My experience buying my car at Adams Automotive Group on north tryion st charlotte nc was the best experience i have ever had shopping for a car. Even though i had challenges on my credit, going thru a bad divorce and repossessions, they were able to put me in 2011 200 chrysler, had less than $20lk miles on the vehicle, and allow my payments to be affordable. i worked with two awesome salesperson Glen & Paul..I would recommend this car dealership to everyone."

"This is one of the best cars we have bought. I opted for a 2012 Touring with S package and Sun/Sound group (Nav/Sunroof/6 speakers). It has the Pentastar V6 which is a great engine. We fight over who gets this car. I have had a number of strangers come up to me and look at it. Everyone loves the look. The review from this editor is so far off it's not worth getting in to. Drive one and then go drive a drab Camry or Altima and see what turns your crank. Mopar got it right. They made an awesome car with the 200. Excellent power and mpg."

"I bought the Chrysler 200 limited convertible hard top about a year ago. I was very excited to own my first brand new car. The car drives very well not super powerful but it is not a sports car. Living in a city I did not want to chance getting a soft top so the hard top was a must. Exterior style was very attractive very cool headlights. Very nice features on the car auto start and auto drop top from remote. Interior styling is very retro. Nice lighting leather heated seats the car is very nice looking. Me being 6ft I was worried about head room but it was very roomie inside not so much in the backseat. The only thing that had bothered me was during the first week of having the car it was in the shop twice for minor repairs. But the car fell apart quick with roof leaks to engine failure in the first 3 months it was not worth the trouble. The car would be great for renting but I would not suggest actually buying one. After a year I had to give up on it considering it could not be fixed with under 10000 miles."

"I've owned my car (2011 200 Hardtop Limited) for about 8 weeks. This is a very comfortable car that you can actually fit adults in the back seat. Lots of bells and whistles. It has 283 horses (must be ponies I guess). Acceleration is adequate but definitely not race track material. A little body roll when accelerating (hard) while changing lanes. This car is definitely a cruiser. I am amazed at how it turns heads all the time. Must be due to the fact that you do not see a lot of them on the road. Nice stereo but it could use a little more bass. Nice feature that you can retract the top via key fob. if you want a hardtop convertible that is bigger than the VW Eos and less expensive than the Infinity G37 and the Lexus IS-C than this is your car."

"We bought our first Chrysler product in 2007, Sebring Touring Edition, loved it so much that when the 200's came out (the new "sebring") we jumped on it and purchased a 2011 Chrysler 200 with V-6 motor, and we absolutely love EVERYTHING about this car; plus our teenager loves to drive them both, and with the 5 Star rating Chrysler has, we feel completely comfortable about our teens safety while driving either of these vehicles; all that being said, i would HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE VEHICLES TO ANYONE- THE BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK, I PROMISE!!!!"

"My car is now a year old and has about 15,000 miles on it. It is fast, handle nice, and the gas mileage for a 6 cylinder is pretty good - 21-25 city and 34 on the highway. The car feels safe and is very comfortable and QUIET for a small car. Love not having wind noise or clunky cheap plastic interior. I have had a lot of different cars from honda to chevy to jeep and this is the best car yet. In fact, this is the first car that I want to keep for a long time."

"Review is for a 2011 Chrysler 200 Limited Convertible with all the options (V-6 engine, hardtop, Boston Acoustics speakers, and 730N Navigation system). I bought this car because I wanted a nice convertible that had a large trunk, with the top both up and down, and the 200 fulfills that need. It only has about 5K miles on it and has been a good car thus far. It's rather stylish inside and out and Chrysler did a good job restyling it from the former Sebring design. Seats are supportive but rather hard. Back seat is more useful as an extended package shelf rather than a place to put 2 adults. Interior controls are mixed bag - some are just inexpensive and plastic-feeling, while others feel a bit more substantial - this area could use some design improvement. The Navigation/Entertainment system seems overly complex to use, but that's typical for most cars these days. You will have to acquaint yourself with the 502 page Owners Manual. Fuel economy with the V-6 averages about 25 mpg in mixed use regular fuel driving. Performance with the V-6 is quite good at 283 HP, no disappointments there. Ride is fairly firm and comfortable in normal driving. Rear window view is pretty small and narrow due to top mechanism, so you need to be careful upon backing up. Top mechanism takes about 30 seconds to raise or lower and so far has worked flawlessly. It can be lowered remotely from the key fob also. Trunk lid is very heavy because it is so large (to cover entire top mechanism), so your biceps will get a workout when you lift it up. I see the Chrysler Limited as a nicely styled utilitarian convertible that fits my needs. Perfect for going on either day or week-long trips with 2 occupants in the front seats."

"I am overly suprised at the great consumer reviews this car is getting!!! This is the absolute worst car I've ever owned. So many problems! It first started within 200 miles I had to have the transmission replaced! As I was crossing an intersection it completely went out. I had to restart the car and put it back in drive to get out of the way of incoming traffic. How embarrasing and most importantly TERRIFYING! I still feel there are problems with the transmission, ex. hard shiffting. Next problem was in the winter when the heat was turned on a foul odor of fish came through the vents -four people noticed the smell as well. Again, how imbarrasing! Other problems: Loud engine idle, sounds like engine knocking (and yes the oil has been changed by Chrysler dealerships at the recomended times); passanger seat feels broken -normal "stop and go" you can feel and hear a part on the inside move around; driver side interior door handle often sticks and feels like your going to break the handle in order to get out; breaks squeal as I put the car in reverse in the morning; Rotors feel worn (wheels and steering wheel wobble when the breaks are applied) and this started when the car had only 7K miles on it; I feel like a lot of pressure has to be applied to the breaks in order to keep the car stopped - I'll often be stopped at a light and notice I'm rolling while I have the break pressed; and finally there is a sound of air coming in from somewhere when driving (sounds like the window is slightly cracked but it's not). Other complaints - Seats are very hard and stiff; Gas mileage is not as great as I was told it would be (I'm only getting 24.5 on hwy when suggested is 31, 4cyl); serious lack of leg room in back seat; trunk is small; interior just feels and looks "cheap." I've also read the toxicity levels in the interior of this car are extremely high, wonder if that had to do with the "fish" smell... As you can tell I'm overly unsatisfied with my Chrysler 200. If it weren't for the fact I was carrying over 10 years and three cars worth of rollover when I bought this car, I would've traded it after the trans issue! I had absolutely no problems with my '08 Mercury Milan! 85K mi no complaints, no issues, and no replacement of any parts! I should've kept it! I have a complaint call into Chrysler now, so we'll see what they say. I understand I could've got a "lemon," and maybe that's why I'm the only with complaints and/or problems - why me..."
