Great road trip car

Great first car purchase, while not a luxury car, it was reliable and gets great mpg. Took many road trips with mine with no problems.

Love my baby!

I bought this car from a dealership. She's in amazing shape, and I love all the features. The analog clock is a classy touch!

A car that will last!

Love these cars the Chrysler 200 and the Sebring, love them. They last. We have owned several and even the ones that we have sold we know where they are and who has them and they are still going strong and free of issues.

Decent Car, Would Consider Purchasing Again

This is a decent car. It looks nice, it drives well, and hasn't had any major problems. This was the first car that I bought after getting my first professional career out of college, and it has served me well. The interior looks nice as I got the "S" package, but it is about what you'd expect for a sub $30K car. Overall, the car has been good to me, no major problems, mechanically sound, and still drives well, 5 years and 50,000 miles later.

Great little car

I was looking for a small, gas efficient car. Had to be American made. I am very short and it's difficult to find a small car where I can see completely over the top of the steering wheel. The 200 has an adjustable seat that goes up and down. It is very comfortable and drives well. A very sharp car and great value for the money. One thing they could have changed... with the seat set in the highest position, getting into the car leaves very little head room. My car has a manual adjustment lever and I forget to lower the seat a bit before getting out of the car for the next time. This is also my first time driving in the snow with this car. Driving isn't bad, but braking is a bit of a problem. The brakes tend to lock up easily, so you have to be very careful and brake early.

Disappointed

I bought this car new and from the first week have had and still have problems with the brakes. Keep taking it back to the dealer who keeps saying nothing wrong. However, when I back out of garage, parking spaces, etc., the brakes squeal something terrible. That should not be! Also do not like the Blue Tooth - very difficult to use and a terrible distraction so have disabled it.

After 2 years, I still love it.

It's a 4 cylinder soft top. I purchased it used with almost 30K from a dealer. It was a lease car. I enjoy the softer ride and comfort. Not going to win any speed races but easy to keep up with traffic. No service issues, to date, with over 40K. It has some strange braking issues. Nothing too serious. Dealer says it's normal for this car. Seems a bit mushy to start braking and it seems I can feel the bottom on a hard stop. It does stop. Lots of positive comments from people when driving with the top down. It is a good looking car. Purchased for a reasonable price. Happy with the purchase. I feel it is a great value. this is my second Chrysler. No issues with my prior Chrysler after over 60K.

Great car for the money

I bought the 2012 limited and could not be happier. I came out of 4 BMW ' S over the past 15 years and have to say this car rivals every one of them. The power is ready when you want it and the car drives like a more expensive vehicle . If you are on the fence I say drive once and you are hooked.

Nice Convertible - the Chrysler 200 Touring

Got this car a month ago, took it on a road-trip once already and had a smooth ride. Also find the performance impressive. Switched from a 4 cyl. so not surprised the gas mileage is a bit lower. However, pick-up on this V6 / 283 horespower engine is great. Roof opens and closes smoothly - just the odd click here and there, but altogether having great fun with this my first convertible. Electronics are a little wobbly, but nothing that doesn't fix itself after a little while.Ha! Like the board computer and sound system is phenomenal. Bluetooth hooks up OK - voice recognition requires dedication to programming, but commands are clear. Remote engine starter is a blessing - A/C kicks in and car is cool when I get in....

VERY happy with this car

We have only had the car for a month, But we have made several 200+ mile road trips in it. The car was very comfortable on the trips. Ride was great. I wasn't tired after the long drives. Gas mileage was 30+ on the highway. This is my first Chrysler, and I'm impressed. I would have problem buying another or advising a friend to buy one. VERY HAPPY!
