This was actually a very decent car, but had 6 major flaws and reasons that I felt caused this car to be cancelled. Watch along for a full history of this car from inception in 2011 to its cancellation in 2017!

What a shame, it was such a good looking car, especially the last 2 years.
I thought so too
Yeah it is a shame.. I drive a 2015 200 Limited and I love it (then again I'm the only one that ever goes in the car because I use it for work travel and stuff)
i love chrysler alot i still want one i have a pacifica i love it alot
I'm gonna be honest, I prefer the looks of the first generation better.
I own one Ive always thought it looked like a jellybean
I bought a 2016 200s and I've never had ne issues, beautiful car does lack room in back seats for taller passengers but, overall still love my 200s
same 2015 Chrysler 2.4 with now 90k miles nd no check engine light
yeah brought a 2015 200c 50k miles now and its great, got the extended warranty just in case though!!lol
Yes my wife 200c the most up model had been a champ literally and it smokes BMW's challengers ricer sticks get spit on for the most part and two weeks ago a 2019 Toyota rav4 pulled out 15' infront of me on a 50mph road I had zero time had to hold my lane and smacked it at 50 it is totaled but damn it saved my life I had no idea that they had air bags in the pedal area at your feet that they are sitting on a Mercedes chassis and they are strong as fuck to take or give a hit only thing was I jacked my shoulder up bad cause I forgot to let go and relax but whatever I owe my life to that car and my wife and I just had our second babie girl not two weeks before that they get to see there father everyday because of the amazing build they did I don't give a shit what anyone says. And by the way I know in 2011 Mercedes bought dodge and I'm pretty sure they control all decisions Chrysler as well but maybe not at any rate look at there chassis that tells the entire story almost identical to a Mercedes one food for thought people. From someone still breathing because of theese so called falures😆 don't know SMH
My 2015 200C has had so many issues since I bought it🤭
Ethan Knight in the process of getting a 2016 limited! Pros and cons ?
It's too bad cause the second generation was a beautiful car that sold fairly well (despite their flaws)
My parents have the last year of the 200 S. The car is really nice and hasn't given them any issues.
Must not drive it enough. Only thing good is the looks
@@user-ut3yo7ul7z my little sister has the 200 s she doesn't have any problems with it ...we go on long trips all the time
I have a 2012. 140k miles & she's given me no problems besides i have to change her back tires lol. All cars break down at some point, especially if you drive like a racecar driver.
I have a 2015 200s with 80,000 miles and it's a beauty! No problems at all
2015 here that I bought factory fresh in the end of 2014. I just crossed 100,000 miles and I have only done the service intervals.
I have a 2015 Chrysler 200C and I absolutely love it. I havent had any issues with my car at all. The 200C that I got is fully loaded, lane keep assist, air conditioned seats and all. I also find the Uconnect access very convenient on really hot and really cold days. I love how it let's me start my car from where ever so that I can walk out to my nice warm car in the freezing winter. I'm in iowa and the winters here can be harsh.
Hi! How Has Your Car Held Up??
Somebody just gave me a 2011 Chrysler 200 convertible with only 68,000 miles.
I once rented a Chrysler 300 well, my other car was in the shop and it had air-conditioned seats. I just got the car a couple of days ago and I see that there is either heated seats are air conditioned seats. There’s just pictures of waves coming out of the seat. Are my seats just heated or are they air conditioned? I live in Florida, so hopefully they’re air-conditioned.
My 2015 Chrysler 200 s AWD V6 is amazing!
I'm looking at some 200s for my first car which year has the last problems you.
Darrion Mickles least problems is the 2016. The trans doesn’t have the jerk. I got one has my first car (still have it ) 120k miles and LOVE it
Mine too!! Best car ever when it's in Sport Mode. Fast AF and corners great.
My car has over 90000 miles. Have had a few issues none related to the transmission. Had a oil/coolant leak which ended up having to have the oil cooler housing replaced due to deteriorating orings. And my flex pipe just snapped but overall very good car. The zf transmission isnt the best they could have used but i havent had issues with it.... yet.
Garbage, Fiat transmission and engine
FIAT is what went wrong
Keye T I think they originally wanted Jeep
Keye T Chrysler was shit way before Tony took over.
Yet they significantly improved the brand and product from when Mercedes and Cerabus owned them.
Daimler Benz had the worst quality control of all, besides the post war and muscle car era the only other time Chrysler would improve would be under Fiats acquisition!
Kind of funny isn’t it
John smith Chrysler is going strong now, even after that huge lawsuit
MUSTASHEO lll Well they fucked jeep up too with that euro trash engine they put in the Cherokee and a renegade
I still own a 2013 after nine years. I have replaced brakes, throttle body assembly (and now the radio doesnt work), front driver wheel bearings, battery, and a radiator hose blew. After nine years I cant complain. The car has 170,000 km on it and I have used it for moving, driving off road through the farm, and all sorts of things. It is roomy, versatile, comfortable, and I like it.
It has handled well on icy, snow covered roads that I probably should not have been out driving on. Compared to a jeep for winter driving it is not as good, but it is decent for a car.
I would buy the FWD, 2016 C to replace it becuase I have the rims for snow tires, and compared to an Accord or a Camry it would be less expensive to purchase.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed the good information.
Nice video! That special edition was pretty cool. 👍🏻
Very well done. I can tell a lot of time and research was put into this video.
we're due for a episode where FCA didn't get it wrong
ZROSTARS that hasn’t happened very often
Pacifica, Jeep, Ram
And consumers are still waiting for a vehicle that FCA didn’t get wrong.
How about why Chrysler didn’t get a 200 srt or why no Chrysler SUV. But anyways I am looking at the dart. Closest thing we will see to a Fiat 500 abarth sedan
Dan Elliott RAM = 💩
Would love to see a video like this for the Dodge Magnum or the Dodge nitro. Really liking the content hope you did well on your finals.
I own a 2015 200c and so far to me is a great sedan, plenty of power and speed, it does change speeds a lot but that is normal, if it needs more power it will shift but on manual mode it stays on the speed you choose. Overall is a great car and I LOVE IT.
v6 is a good car those 4 bangers are a nightmare
Do you mean to say that it changes gears a lot but when using the paddle shifters it stays in whatever gear you put it in?
I bet you dont still love it lol
I agree. I had one of these for about a year. Loaded with lots of goodies. There were things I liked, but many more that I didn’t... had buyer’s remorse very shortly after purchasing.
I own the 2015 200 limited, love the car and has been reliable and still going strong with no flaws after 150k + miles and still drives like new. Everyone loves the look of my ride. Looking for a 200s model next (used) soon.
you are pushing your luck
i personally own a 2016 200s v6. Decent car, good looking, nice internal setup, minor issue and really fun to drive. Shame for FCA to cancel it.
Focus Jiao there never was a 2017 200 only 2015-16
Yea good looking try buy parts
@@91myroc Yes there was
I have the 2015 chrystler 200 s and i LOVE IT!!! I feel as though all cars have issues even if it isnt in EVERY model no car is perfect unfortunately but i must say this car is stunning inside and out and does fine for me! No issues with it whatsoever! Hope to keep it for as long as possible !!
Do you still have it? Any problems yet?
🗣
I bet you can't stand it now lol
I have 2015 s as well have no major issue car is over 195,000 miles is use it hundred miles a day or more
I have the 2016 200c and have received a lot of compliments on it.
It’s been more reliable than my ford, gmc, dodge or bmw I previously owned.
Omg I've been waiting for this video!!
Great video man. You really know your stuff. I remember going to the local Chrysler dealer with my Ex so she could get her 2014 Chrysler Super S in that crimson red metallic color. Man I miss that car
I worked at a used car dealership back in 2015, and one of my favorite cars on the lot was an early V6 200. Wasn't necessarily high quality, but it was comfortable and decent enough to drive. I thought it looked pretty decent.
it is high quality
A friend of mine got a 2014 one, he needed a transmission replacement within the first month.
love the vids man!
Great vid and love your channel! Can you do one on the LH platform?
I've had my 2015 for 5 years now. Only issue I had was a leaking oil housing. $100 on Amazon and 4 hours in the driveway to replace. With a few bolt ons and tune people have gotten this car to do 0-60 in 5 seconds flat which is insane for a family sedan. I love it.
Still have? How many miles
@@TheManUpPodcast yep. Almost 48k
get ready to go through hell lol
@@BrandonSmith-rb1bfshut up loser 😂 you bought a lemon and thats your own fault. learn how to identify a good running vehicle and you wont run into any shitty car no matter the creator 😂😂😂
I've never been into Chrysler, or really domestics in general, but the second gen 200 is a very attractive car. Otherwise, I know nothing about it beyond what you present in this video.
I did not know the 200 was supposed to be electric. Awesome video!
Eh guy, can you do a little video about the "Cloud Cars" of the JA platform? I had a green 97 Stratus ES v6 for my 6th car, I loved the way it drove (when the thing was working right lol!)
I also had a 2015 200S AWD with every option available. The 2013 avenger actually feels almost as fast 0-60 as the 2015 awd. I could hit 5.5 seconds in sport mode with the paddle shifters timed just right or else it would bang on the redline without changing. The avenger rt once I put on good tires I could hit 5.6 0-60 easily. If it was from a roll the avenger would win hands down even though it was down 3 gears because of weight. The Pentastar is really good with a tune. I had to get the 2015 unlocked but with the hemifever tune, intake, throttle body, TB spacer, and flowmaster super 10 muffler I was making 300 whp. I went from 5.5-5.6 to just under 4.5 seconds 0-60. I Really wanted to supercharge the car but I didn't want to be the first one to try.
Thanks for the video. I still love my 2015 chrysler 200S.
looking into buying a used one…. still no issues??
@@samanthadiane320 Hello. The only issue I had was the oil cooler gasket or seal went on it. Its the v6 3.6 liter motor. Luckily it was under warranty and the dealership covered it. Still love it and rhe FWD gets 31MPG..
@@mymoparstoo thanks so much! on the fence between ‘16 corolla and the ‘15 chrysler 200 !
I don't know I have 2013, I like that body style. The only problems I've had are pretty standard parts. I love my 200, it's a pretty fun drive.
My 2010 Sebring is still running strong with 114,000 miles and original transmission. Good maintenance helps!
114 isn't that high of Miliage honestly my current car has 138k and is an 03. Most cars should hit 150k without many issues.
I'm loving my 2016 200s. No issues so far, aside from the engine burning a little oil from time to time. Only con with mine is that it's fwd :(.
This was my first car I loved it 😭 i had the 2014 s edition I felt so proud of my self when I dusted a 2018 charger
Lol I love this! I’ve got the 2011, black on black. She’s a little speed racer, I left my son’s Audi crying in the dust lol. I’m at 240k miles hoping for many more. My boys call it “mom’s hot rod “😇
Damn good feeling the first time you barely beat a dodge rt charger.
I have a 2015 200 and I this is what's going on with it ...for 2 days my radio started turning itself on and off while driving and then finally shut off and won't come back on and the tire gauge and rpm are acting up rpm is in km and won't reset or go go back to normal and my tire gauge says it needs over 200 in air pressure any clue what is causing this issues
do u know how to get a seat belt buckle unstuck from the latch?
I've had my 200s for 3 yrs now. Have put 50000km on it and overall no problems. Recently the transmission has been shifting a little rough but other then that all good. Been thinking about trading her in for a charger but not sure
I have a 2015 Chrysler 200 lol Good info. I had a Dodge Dart as well 😂 Guess I’m really bad at picking cars.
Love the 200 the sport package was so good looking and the 2.4 with the 9 speed automatic got 40mpg easy on the highway such a great car.
Except when the transmission goes out.
Found the 2015 model with 73k miles in a local dealership and was thrilled with the interior design and all round features which are so cool. Was thinking of trading in my 2017 Kia Sportage with 60k miles, would've been the dumbest decision ever made, to think I only just got the 2014 sonata for my wife at 50k miles, good car so far. For me reliability has to be top priority with cars, sure dont want a car that breaks every time you look at it wrong. Thanks for this review!
I have 2014 Chrysler 200 and I have 147,000 miles I use it for uber and I've had no problems just rotors and brakes and radiator hose car runs good and I feel it can take me to 200k
My wife loves her 2016 200C AWD V6. Rides great, shes still impressed by the self parking haha. The leather is so pretty and comfy. So far it has had no issues, 55k miles.
John Baker yessssss 120k on mine.
William Gallardo I honestly feel this car is better than what people think
randomly chillin_ it is. 130,000 on my 200c v6 and I love it.
140k on mine, roaters & tires too 😂 safe driving!!
I have 2011 Chrysler 200 v6 & I like it a lot. No problems so far.
I got the 2015 200s v6. It's all blacked out with no chrome all the options pretty much down to the 19inch black rims. I also purchased the mopar lifetime warranty too. I really love the car. But I'm glad I bought that warranty. I've used it a lot.
What can you dig up on the 2012 dodge challenger sxt+ Rallye Redline and the 2013 Redline RT?
I have a 2015 chrysler 200 LIMITED. Had it for 3 yrs. It always ran good and still does. It still in mint condition. Local dealer always sends me letters, that he wants to buy my car. No transmission problems. It shifes just right when needed. It's the way it works. People please understand that.
mine as well
So is mine
The boors and apes will never listen because of ignorance blocks their ears.
They nailed the 1st gen. The 2nd gen had a fantastic interior and good performance. but the transmission and car killer Sergio killed it.
I had the 2013 limited fully loaded with 3.6 penastar... thing was surprisingly fast
I have one where the dash light won’t turn off does anyone know why
Please do the Sebring
It would have been fun to see a 300 themed 200, a Charger themed avenger, and a neon themed dart.
My 2016 basic 2.4L model has NO ISSUES at all, I'm maintaining it, and at 215 000 kms and works very well, I'll keep her for at least 3 more years. I'm a sales rep on the road, and I deliver food 3 nights a week. I use this car in all condition, winter too.
I feel that youve made an acceptional and accurate assessment of the 200s demise. Its a shame, but i think the 9-speed transmission and class leading in the wrong areas things you mentioned in the video played the biggest role overall. Most people who purchase small/midsize cars i would think just want efficiency and convenient yet simple. I feel that the 200 was priced within reason of its competitors...
It's a shake the Dart and the 200 were discontinued I like them a lot
Yeah but they didn't hold up they fell apart after a while a Chrysler never been known for good reliability in the first place what may be back in the forties and fifties with a built strong cars and it didn't stick all these Technologies in there
God of destruction diecast my 200 has 120k miles and is holding up like it did when I got it 2 years ago at 49k. Love love love it. They hold up for sure
Some do and some don't. You may have gotten lucky. I've seen a lot of them with transmission issues, AC compressors locked up, electrical issues. All expensive things to have to deal with. One thing I will give them though is the fit and finish was a lot better because at that time Fiat started dumping massive amounts of money into them, just not in the right places. Funny enough, it seems most Chrysler/Dodge vehicles have issues with the transmissions, AC systems, and electronics. The only time I saw their cars be reliable was when they were using a lot of Mercedes based components like the 5 speed automatic and entire platforms like the 300, Charger, and Crossfire.
Enrique Ortiz Honda shares the same exact transmission and Toyota also is having transmission issues. the trans that FCA is having problems with isn’t a FCA build or designed transmission at all. Mercedes starved them and made the interiors and cars shit. They’re better off with fiat. Now as far as AC issues and electronics that’s true. But I’d take a chance on a chrysler before a Toyota or Honda. The product just isn’t good.
A 200 Srt6 with all-wheel drive all the time twin turbos under 40 k would of sold like hotcakes
SHM Hooligans would never happen ever
@@BIGGIEDEVIL well obviously the car was discontinued so obviously it would never happen
Dart SRT6 with the performance tuning knowledge learned on the Hellcat applied to the Pentastar, with a full-time AWD manual gearbox would've beat it.
Who would pay more than 20k for Chrysler though?
RG anyone. They are buying 100,000 Chrysler in the form of a trackhawk. And red eyes, so.
I have a ‘15 200C for the last 2 years & aside from a oil house filter housing that busted a leak (covered by warranty) it hasn’t given me any problems.
Probably the quietest, one of the smoothest ride I’ve ever had.
I have the 2007 Sebring 147k miles, my biggest issue was having the oil pan gasket changed. Other than that it’s been reliable. I also have the 2016 Chrysler 200 and what I do notice about both cars is they jerk when driving and the gears are switching I guess. Doesn’t happen every time but often enough to notice.
Chrysler Crossfire Next?
Man the Chrysler 200 is such a beautiful car... 😔
Agreed, it was ashame that it got cancelled, it was like Chrysler was starting to get back to where they were you know what led to their downfall from popularity aka bad quality control and such, so yeah
I own one2015 with 109 k miles. Will be trading for a 2016 200. It’s gorgeous as fuck!
Pentastar Nate DONT
Owais Baig why ?
Oh yeah they are
I've long underestimated the 200. It really is better in every regard than I thought prior to watching this video, with the sole exception being quality control of both the powertrain and cabin materials.
Let us not forget, they even had a solid ad campaign with a celebrity endorsement from Eminem during Superbowl 2009.
I own a 2015 200 and haven’t had any issues, the car runs great and smooth. I’ve heard bad things about them but only from a handful of people and those people rode the bags of their cars. I’d highly recommend one!
Love my Chrysler 200 2015 😍 🙌
How many mileage now?
And does it still run smooth
@@392carii I have 125 000 km on the odometer and yeah it's still running great. The only downside, is the transmission.
@@392carii how is the transmission?
I Can't Lie I Liked This Car Not The Convertible But The Sedan Was A Nice Looking Vehicle
You couldn’t melt a molar on me! I like the looks of thr new Jeep pickup thing they have out now, but just the fact it is actually a Chrysler assures me that for starters I could expect pre mature rust job for starters, so I won’t even look, thx
do you know anything about a new charger or challenger?
changing a battery on the 200 was a COMPLETE pain in the ASS you have to remove the drivers side WHEEL just to get to the battery.
Not in the 2nd Gen.
Can you do something about the Chrysler Sebring?
the 200 1st gen was a souped up sebring
Nobody can do something about that car :)
The 90s convertible was the only one worth owning
Rented one of these and drove round trip from Tucson to Bay Area. Driven many rentals and this by far was my favorite.
I got a 2013 Chrysler 200 and I love it
all of the S models look damn good
Now you tell me,where were you last month, I just bought one two weeks ago thanks alot
Ouch!
I've had my 2016 200s for 2 years, 62000 miles, and it has been flawless.
Hey can you do one of the Dodge Dakota or possibly the Ram with the predecessor D100
I’ve never been a fan of Chrysler quality control. But I really liked the 200. The aesthetic design team right now at Chrysler is on point. When paired with the V6, the only good engine they make, it’s an amazingly fun car to drive.
The only good engine ? Have you seen the dodge website lately ?
I Own a 2012 200 6speed/2.4 166k runs smoothly.
Yes the first gen had the 3.6 a d I had a 2013 avenger rt and it made 241 whp stock. That's 292-295 at the crank. Same as the base charger sxt. Dodge says that they are different outputs just to stop it from stepping out toes of the bigger car. The higher versions of the 300 and charger made about 15 whp more due to a true dual exhaust setup and a better flowing intake. Those made 252-257 whp. Good for 305-310 HP at the crank. So they were a little underrated.
Thanks for the quick run down. I'm getting a AWD one in the near future. I'll call the transmission idiosyncrasies , cariture.
@Quix They don't come in manual LOL. My AWD is not falling apart 2 years in and I run it hard.
We’re on our 3rd transmission 😭 2012 Chrysler 200 touring
Fight TV do I even need to ask you if you will buy another Chrysler product again?
Fight TV get rid of that shit already!!
I owe a 2014 , it's a smooth ride
I'd love to see a video on the Chrysler Delta
My dad's fiance has owned one of these 2013 I think for the past few years it's nicknamed The Ghost cuz the color is called Dark titanium metallic
You should do a video on the Magnum like this one.
It would be cool. But for the magnum it boils down to Diamler didn't like it and despite execs saying no one would by it and begrudgingly greenlighting it so they could be proven right. It actually sold decently (~45,000 units a year) and at the end if it's three rear production run (08 and 09 where just leftover 07 chassis) it sold close to 200,000 units which is about what the entire Plymouth division did in its last year. The mangum was the victim of internal politics.
There was a huge revision to the 08 models, I highly doubt they redesigned the interiors and exteriors of "leftover chassis" knowing they'd be chopped from production soon
They should make a dodge mid size sedan based on the Giorgio platform
I this this is ,yes?
@Ed Ward not eliminate. We know new Charger and Challenger are coming in 2021 and Pacifica in 2024
@Ed Ward What's your definition of elimination. Mine is to completely remove without any leftovers
@Ed Ward maybe in the USA but globally the jeep brand is pretty much all FCA has, no dodge and Chrysler only offers the fading 300. Despite low sales at least alfa Romeo and maserati are high priced high profit sellers, fiat on the other hand relies on the 500 too much which is an old design
I have a 2015 200S AWD and I love it. In regular drive mode it's just not that fun, very tame but you but it in sport mode and it's the most fun car I've ever owned. The shift points are set up great and often times the trans will brake for me almost allowing me to drive without using the brake in most situations. I really love this car. It looks amazing on the 19" stock black wheels, the interior is great and its fast AF. AND it was CHEAP. Had it for over 2 years now with no issues and I drive it pretty hard and in sport most of the time. 57k miles so far.
I own a 2015 that I bought new. I love the car, it’s got amazing features and it’s beautiful. However I do have to agree that the transmission is a huge issue. It’s already been replaced once, and it’s been back 2 times once, and the rough shifting still hasn’t been fixed. If they would have nailed that down better, this would have been an outstanding car for Chrysler. It’s sad that they didn’t take the time to improve it, and at least keep the nameplate around so people have something to know Chrysler for other than problems, and minivans.
I dropped a transmission in my 2014 Chrysler 200..about 90000 miles...
I have 2012 Chrysler 200 Limited with 133,000km and it still runs good. The interior has black leather which looks great. Comes with a great sound system too
nice
oh the sound system in the 2012 200 is really good specially in the Bass department
@@sebastiansantana2447 man the bass was so strong I had to turn it down cuz the whole car was shaking lol
I owned a 2015 200C, bought it brand new in December 2014 and put about 75k miles on it in almost 4 years. While not perfect, I thought the 200 was a great car and well executed in many ways. I loved the way it looked, the interior was very nice, the V6 had great power yet got great fuel economy on the highway, and the AWD option made it an excellent year round car. The car had a MAJOR powertrain flaw though - the transmission. That 9 speed was a terrible transmission, I never liked it. I was never a huge fan of the rotary gear selector but I overlooked it eventually. I think the known transmission issues these cars had ultimately led to their failure, along with the names Camry and Accord being engraved into people's brains. It's a shame because it was an opportunity for a turning point for the Chrysler brand and the company as a whole, but they still have some major reliability issues to work out on some of their models. I have to say though, I lost my 200 when it was totalled in an accident last November. It did everything it was supposed to do to protect me.
I bought the same year and make in Nov 2014 and am still driving it. Over 75K miles on it and the only issue I have with the transmission is in city driving where you can't accelerate rapidly so there is a knock in 5th gear. Great pick up speed and no transmission issues when accelerating on the highway.
My girlfriend owns a ‘16 200 S V6 AWD. Very nice. I have driven it and just enjoy every moment. Took it on a road trip to North Carolina in 2019. 😀
Currently have a 2017 200. Im at 33,000 and i have been to the dealership 3 times this year for the same issue, last time they put a new block in... We will see how it goes
I have a 2015 chrysler 200 with 109k miles in it.
1.) My car is luxurious , even more so than ALL new midsize cars for 2019 and 2020. Real wood trim , that clever sliding cup holders, and nice brown interior on the 2016c as an option. Mine is black.
2.my car is fast. You mentioned performance. It does that better than all the midsize cars still. Look up Toyota Camry hinds accord ETC top speed vs chrysler 200 top speed and you’ll see it’s still tops.
3.) my car is sexy. Ford Fusion and Mazda 6 look good but the 200 looks great! Especially with the s in red tint windows and black wheels with the LED lighting group.
4.) THE TRANSMISSION IS USED IN PLENTY OF CARS RIGHT NOW INCLUDING HONDA! I DODNT HEAR that mentioned here, it’s not just the 200. And also the trans is still in the cherokee and other cars go figure.
This car was discontinued for poor sales and interior room. That’s it!
Sure, that's why they dropped it..lol..
Tinky Nine what other reason.
@@tinkynine3351 They dropped it because sedans in general aren't selling. They need the plant capacity to build higher profit, strong selling trucks dumb ass
@@tinkynine3351 You know nothing.
Actually Acura as well.
2.4 engine and vehicle platform are both Fiat.
I test drove a 2017 model a couple years back, because I loved the design, but once I actually stepped into the car, the materials felt cheap, with hollow feeling, and looking plastics in important areas like the interior door handles, and the shift dial. It was still a beautiful car though, so I wasn’t decided against it YET, until I got it on the road... that transmission was ALL OVER THE PLACE, especially on the highway. It never knew which gear to be in, and would shift around roughly and randomly...... If I had purchased that car, I knew I would have just been anxiously waiting for something to go wrong.
All I remember was this really massive ad campaign in 2015 for this car all over tv and RUclips and then like a day later it was gone… I was like what 🤯
they should have thrown some Jeep AWD under this bad boy. called it an 200 Eagle, and aimed it somewere between Buick and Subaru!
I have the AWD ... It is good! .. Could be better, but good. And *yes* they needed to give it another name. The name, '200' had already been through the ringer.
You forgot then Optima... who smashed the competition.
I drove the 200 while the airbag in my Acura TL (summer of 2015 I think) was being changed. I liked it; I thought it compared favorably to the Camry
I got the 2015 one in January this is my first car so far I haven’t really had any problems. I just wish I had more room in the back but nonetheless I’m glad to have a car period 🙂
Well I love my 15 200. It’s slick looking, has an amazing interior, makes good power, and has been reliable for the last 135k miles. Everyone that gets inside the car is wowed by the interior and asks why they stopped making this car. Too many people are blinded by the foreigner’s offerings and fail to realize the excellent American options they have.
…based on an Italian platform.
Would you one on the LHS
I’ve had my 2016 200 Limited for like 4-5 months now and have a round 54k miles. I haven’t had any issues what so ever and I drive 80-ish miles daily.
I just got the 2015 with 20000 mi. and I like it so far I only drive 20 minutes to work per day and I dont usually get past 65-70 so hopefully it lasts
My first gen is still going strong, 125k miles. Had one valve gasket replacement and a a bad AC compressor.
My first gen too is going strong at over 240k miles. I have had some work done under the hood but nothing major. I seem to run through my brakes really fast. Maybe it’s my speed racer foot lol I brake late at times, lol, my hubby don’t like driving with me! The kids (boys) don’t call it mom’s hot rod for no reason!👻👻👻
Well, it’s a Fiat-Chrysler product. There’s the main problem.
Sure Ford pussy. No wait u drive a Prius
RAM TRUCKS Stfu bitch
