Good value for the $$
The 200 is very comfortable,quiet and interior is very nice. I have the Limited with leather and Navigation and so far pretty impressed with it The Sirus XM let's your record up to 50 songs that are actually playing on the radio. Will find out more about the gas mileage when I do some trips over the summer but it is supposed to get 30 and over for MPG.

Best Value / Buy American
We were always a Ford family until my wife bought a 2008 Elantra - loved it, a great car. But the new one came out and she "had to have it" but availability, shipping delays and lousey local dealers led us to look elsewhere. Ford has impressive products and solid leases but SUPRIZE! Chrysler beat them hands down with a more comfortable, more luxurious, more quiet and more tech user friendly sedan in the new 200. The Limited model had EVERYTHING we wanted at the same MSRP as a similarly equipped Fusion - but when it came down to making a deal the larger nicer and newer looking 200 won by thousands$$. Don't pass it buy - I was a Sebring hater but this car is significantly better.

Love the new 200!
I was in the market for a new car after my Mazda Protege started having transmission problems. I test drove the 200 and Mazda 3. The factors that contributed to my decision were the extremely quiet cabin, smooth ride, more room than compact cars, great sound system, and general upgrades that you can't get in a Mazda or other foreign vehicles. My 200 Touring comes with uconnect so I can use my iPhone hands free, 1 year satellite radio, nice black cloth seats, leather wrapped steering wheel and leather accents, a sunroof, digital reading of average mpg, tire pressure reading, and exact number of miles left til empty. The rear seats also have their own spot for cup holders and arm rest. I drove this car on a 3 hour trip (up a mountain) yesterday and the drive was AMAZING with my satellite radio, nice speakers, comfortable seats, smooth ride, uconnect phone, and I could tell that people were looking! I read the expert reviews that the 4cyl engine was sluggish but it wasn't driving up the mountain. Of course don't expect to go out racing people with the 4cyl but the 6speed helps and it is very responsive. The engine's noise on acceleration is also quiet and smooth in my opinion. It's also awesome to have a car that is unique- instead of the same old camry or accord that everyone else has! I also noticed the head lights and back lights are very stylish and have a strip of lights similar to Audi's. This is a small feature that adds to the 200's aesthetics! I really love my new 200 and would recommend anyone who wants a luxurious mid-sized sedan at a great price to check one out! Another note: They have an amazing lease deal right now which makes this car budget friendly!

Luxury car for middle class price
I test drove several mid-size sedans before buying the Chrysler 200. I test drove Sonatas, Optimas, Fusions, and Malibus before finally settling on a bright white Limited 200 with black leather interior. The exterior and interior styling is that of a luxury car. I have had several compliments from passer-byes on how good the car looks and every time I'm walking to my car I can't help but stare. I absolutely love driving this car. The leather seats are super comfortable and the whole setup around the driver is amazing not to mention the premium boston acoustics sound speakers and the navigation with uconnect. Absolutely amazing car!

The Chrysler 200: A Shining Star
We took delivery of a beautiful new Chrysler 200 Convertible hardtop coupe and have never been happier with a car purchase. It is flawless in every way... from the smallest detail such as the exquisite stiching of the leather interior to the gorgeous chrome wheels. Not a single flaw or overlooked seam - the 2011 Chrysler 200 Limited is the best built convertible next to the Mercedes SL. We know, having owned several drop-top vehicles in our day. This new car has everything imaginable and was only in the mid 30's. An incredible bargain for sure. The new engine is marvelous with outstanding passing power and nearly 30 miles per gallon. It is also very roomy and quite with top up or down.

chrysler 200
I bought a 200 in February 2011, the car was totaled in March, missed curve and drove into a dry creek bed. No mechanical problems. The car came to rest on the crushed roof, front and rear damage, yet I could open 3 doors, I did not try the last door. All bags deployed. Interior was still in good shape. My wife escaped with bruises and a cracked rib. Considering the damage and the doors could still be opened, Chrysler has built an excellent structurally sound car. My wife loved driving this car as I did. Great gas mileage, 2.4 engine very good acceleration and merging speed , very quiet ride, great in tight turns, brakes will slow/stop car fast,steering response is excellent, highly comfortable interior and layout I will by another 200.

Solid, Refined, Flawless & Attractive
The new Chrysler 200 has a nice smooth ride. It hadles well, too. The materials are of high quality and the Limited version adds features like heated leather seats which are very nicely contored and of superior grade not found elsewhere in its price range. We have taken the 200 on several long trips and enjoyed everything about the new Chrysler. The navigation system and many other features are easy to use with voice actived technolgy, making for your eyes focusing on the road. Other brands we looked at were far too confusing to operate. The 200's V6 engine really sold us. The power is welcoming while mileage is impressive. The car looks like a car costing far more and is that solid, too.

The Car is 100% Better!
What incredible changes in just a year! The entire range of Chrysler products are leaps & bounds better than prior Chrysler's & know far ahead of Ford, Lincoln & Mercury. I looked at purchasing another Ford product but when Mercury was terminated & our Milan was due for replacement, I happily chose a 2011 200 Limited. The Ford Fusion SEL, a sister product to the Milan Premier lacked the refinement of our Mercury. The new Chrysler 200 has a better ride, feels more spacious & provides better power & mileage over the '11 Fusion. Chrysler's highly acclaimed brand new powerful, economical Pentastar V6 (read Wards Automotive trade publication for review) has earned countless awards & it's very apparent why. The 200 Limited handles nicer than any Ford product in our long history as owners & of the many 2010 & '11 Ford's we looked seriously at buying this year, until we tested the 200 & a 2011 Dodge Charger Ralley. Compared to the Fusion & larger Taurus, the Chrysler looks & drives more substantially & the interior materials, fit, finish & refinement are of a much greater grade. This is our first non-Ford product & the family's very first Chrysler acquisition & based on our months of driving satisfaction, will be one of many Chrysler vehicles & what I expect to be a long love affair with Chrysler.

Quintessential Luxury Sedan for Middle America!
We traded in our mediocre 2009 Chevrolet Impala LT for a 2011 Chrysler 200 Limited series. After generations of GM ownership, it was time for a change. With an all new grille, host of standard luxury features and a barrage of safety features lacking on the Chevy, we are now driving a less expensive car with a better far ride, materials, paint/trim, handling, fit and finish, suspension, creature comforts features, amenities (i.e., dual climate controls, heated seats, Chrysler exclusive Uconnect safety/emergency/entertainment system), youth-like sophisticated appeal, dual-coat pear exterior paint, optimal/supportive seating (horrifying on the Chevrolet), looks of a vehicle costing at least double, premium leather interior and navigation system with largest in class 8.4 inch screen. Our huge disappointed with the Impala is why we nearly switched to a Honda Accord EX, but wanted to explore another American brand first. Not unlike the Accord, the 200 is solid! Not a single complaint... and Chrysler pulled out so stops with the new 200, especially with the best V-6 engine (all new for 2011) ever produced.

First American Make: Chrysler Won Me Over!
My 2011 Chrysler 300 Limited sedan is roomy, comfortable, well-built & priced just right. The materials are of German luxury car quality. The 8.4" navigation screen also houses other funstions in a way that proved too confusioning on new Fords and Lincoln sedans we tested. Not so on the 200, Dodge Avenger LUX & Dodge Charger R/T we looked at. Aside from the more user friendly Chrysler, no other automobile in its class, aside from the similar-sized Avenger (about equal while a bit sportier) & larger Dodge Charger (even nicer that the 200 due to size, AWD option and Hemi-8) had a better ride, handling abilities, traction control, standard features, safety devices, refinement, upscale leather trim & other soft materials, ease of operation and superior solid feel. The Blackberry pearl coat paint, new for 2011, turns many heads and leads to compliments everywhere we go. Mileage? The all new powerful V6, with refined suspenion garners about 28-33 miles per gallon. Our 200 Limited has everything we wanted, while costing thousands less than the Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ (especially) & foreign makes we considered. Our first American made car is a Chrysler! Never before did we expect to find perfection in a U.S. built vehicle. Chrysler won us over. We are so happy with my stylish 200, my husband placed an order for a 2011 Chrysler 300C in a special Ivory white tri-coat paint, not available on the 200 & exclusive to the 300, but I love the Blackberry pearl-coat of my 200 (also available on the 300C) that caught me eye immediately. We have always been happy with our Audi sedans, wagons & convertibles, but am pleased to be in an American sedan.
