Is it just me or does this car look sexy as hell?

Just purchased a new 2016 200 C AWD V6 with every option in April 2017. This was a new vehicle with 11 miles on the odometer that sat on a dealers lot for more then a year so, it was a good deal. I love this cars styling from the front, side and from the rear. One of my favorite items on this car are the way the led taillights look at night. The interior looks high end compared to the competition. The interior is covered in black leather with a lot of padded surfaces on the door dash & center council that are soft to the touch. This helps make for a very pleasant driving experience. The V6 engine is great, there's never a lack of power. When you hit the gas this car leaps forward with authority. The transmission shifts smoothly, the interior is quit but you hear a pleasant growl from the V6. The infotainment system with its large touchscreen looks great and works well. I must admit that I was a bit nervous about making this purchase after reading reviews mentioning problems with the 9 speed transmission but, I liked the car and the price sealed the deal. I have not owned the car long but, so far it's been great with no problems. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Why in the world did Chrysler discontinue this car

Working at a dealer I see plenty of vehicles from all manufacturers. The 200 caught my eye each time and the interior is amazing, so amazing in fact I bought a 200c with cream leather interior and love it more than any car I’ve had to date!

I recently purchased a 2015 200c AWD with every single option and absolutely love it. I've never owned any Chrysler product, and have found myself extremely impressed. The only downside is the headroom. I've noticed in every review I've seen or read, they only talk about the limited rear headroom, but never the front. The front headroom is extremely limited as well. I'm 6 foot tall, and with the driver's seat as low as it will go, and leaned back to where I can still comfortably grasp the wheel, there's still only about half an inch of clearance from the top of my head to the roofline. Maybe it's bad because I have the panoramic moon roof, I'm not sure though. Other than that, the power that motor puts out is amazing, all the tech gadgets are modern and can be put to good use, and it's really the best looking car in the segment. I noticed in this review, he keeps mentioning it's not as good looking as the Ford Fusion. Don't get me wrong, I think the Fusion is very easy on the eyes, but it doesn't compare at all to the lines and details of the new Chrysler 200. I've owned a lot of vehicles and I've NEVER gotten the comments, looks and stares that I've gotten with this one.

Stumbled across your two 200 videos. I thoroughly enjoyed your reviews. I own a 200s and feel your review was spot on. Wonderful job, subscribed.

I use to have a Chrysler 200 Limited with 2.4L, the only thing that i needed to repair was the thermostat. other than that it was trouble free and extremely gas efficient. I would buy one again.

Awesome Vid, great job going over absolutley everything with detail & honesty. Also big props comparing the 200c with the other brands in it's class. very informative.

Great review, info, and comparison. I like how you focused on the positive, not so positive and compared similar cars in all aspects, like pricing, fuel economy and room. Thanks a lot

Without a doubt yours are the most fully comprehensive in-depth reviews on the internet. Keep up the good work.

I wanderd here today because of questions I was reading which popped up in my Owners Group feed on FB. Mainly that was to share your excellent separate review of the ZF9speed auto. Wow you do a great job, you're probably the best! Why post here on a car now long out of production? I like these so much, I bought two and still have my second with now plans to sell it. I bought the first (Limited trim w/4cyl FWD) because I was in need of a comfortable and fuel efficient car, reasonably priced, wth enough space to carry senior people with me. To me, that Limited offered everything I needed, including price, that I was looking for better than anything else. I also found the styling to be a home run, especially in blue. I still think it's the most attractive car in this size range, hands down. I really liked that car, but experienced the higher trim spec Uconnect in a friends Jeep that I really liked. Then I got to thinking about our occassionally challenging winter storms and thought AWD would be nice to have too. The obvious solution was to trade in on a 200C, same blue. The ride, handling, features, power (and looks) and space (interior and trunk) of my 200C was everything I was looking for. Despite it's age now, it's held up beautifully with no reliability issues or complaints. I feel like I hit a home run with it and still see no reason to replace it. I was disappointed to see so many sedan options completely disappear from our market after most had become so good, especially this one. Based on how it's still performing for and the lack of replacement options, I don't plan on letting mine go anytime soon.

I think it's worth mentioning that the strength of the "tug" on wheel for the lane keep is adjustable in the Uconnect. At least it is on my 2014 Jeep Cherokee which is the same platform. Great detailed review as always Alex.

Just test drove the 200 C with all options, for the overall value, price & performance, it's a great vehicle over the the TLX V6, Camry V6, Accord V6 & Ford Fusion. Quite impressed with Chrysler since Fiat bought them out.

Good job as usual Alex I watched part one and two I say you need more subscribers. For me it's between this and the Honda Accord my grand mother had a Concorde with 200k on it so I'm sure Chrysler is reliable enough and that was the same engine and transmission. Nice car I could see you driving one even though I just got a new car I'm definitely considering this thanks to your review. Speaking of review I seen no flaws extremely smooth transitions and such I think you sir have it down to a science. Good stuff.

GREAT thorough review!!!!

Nice Review ! Interesting Car ,just wish it had better fuel economy. I know its better than most in its segment but i promised myself on my next vehicle purchase that MPG would have to be a lot better as a deciding factor, but i do appreciate the Tech / driving dynamics of this Car. Thanks Joe

This is the most thorough review I have seen on this car. It is very good but I kind of like that is does not look like a mini 300.

Best review on the net!

great review!

Thorough and on point. Thanks!

Can you please review the new 2015 legacy with 2.5i. Can't wait what you say about power delivery.

Great review as usual thanks for explaining unique engineering of the 9 speed tyranny.

Another great review Alex....I like how you broke this into two videos... I am suprised that you actually like this car. Are you doing one on the TLX anytime soon?

Just saw your videos. Nice job. I’m interested in purchasing one as a first car. I’m just wondering how many miles you can put on it as you did not mention it in the video. Thanks.

Best car reviews

I think the 200 is a very beautiful car. If you want a car that looks like the 300, then buy the 300. Chrysler has some great designers. Honda has great engineers and reliability, but to me the Accord looks like an old ladies car, and the Civic is nothing to write home about in the looks department. The Accord and the Acura line seem slapped together from a pile of pieces. The 200 looks like a brilliant vision and all the parts fit so well they become one smooth unified line, but how reliable will it be?

What a beauty. The new 2015 200C reminded me of the Suzuki Kizashi on the exterior, only a lot bigger. Just too bad that it has to be a Chrysler because the only product from Chrysler et al that I would actually own is a Ram truck.

Good stuff. The minutia parts of the interior is what I like about your videos. I will say the 200 prints better in person than in pictures. But overall the styling is….plain. Not bad, just not noteworthy.

Just bought one yesterday, and reading the news about 9 speed transmission fails a lot and this getting me nervous. There were 4 recalls and looks like even the service has no idea how to fix the problem. I dont want to spend 2-3 grand every 10K miles. Even though I bought it yesterday, I am considering to get rid of this potential problem machine. Other than, fun to drive. This car roars nicely, handling is not bad at all, however I find the breaks are so weak and steering is not perfect fit for this fast car.

Great review

Model 2015 takes 7.2 decibel in cabin noise. Will model 2017 be better in cabin noise ??

My old Passat VR6 (the good ole European one) did 0-60 in 5.5 seconds. Not too shabby for an 8-year old car.

2015 200s almost fully loaded. 160k miles and 9 years old on 04/2024

A lot of Info. on this cars NINE Spd. Trans. ! Some what confusing. Does it show what actual Speed you are in as you are driving along the roadway ? ? Thanks

Alex, Chrysler 200 C is a beautiful car and one of the rare sedans which comes in AWD version. But, I am worried about its dependability. Do you know if latest Chrysler models come any where close to Honda/Toyota in reliability numbers ?

Alex, the 0-60 time for the 2015 Chrysler 200 C AWD is a tad slower than the FWD model. Yes the AWD model gets better traction but that's more than offset by the added weight.

The rotary shift seems easy to use, probably the turn off for me is the swooping lower grille, looks good though but not my taste

Hi,Alex. I am a Chinese student now study in Boston. I have watched most of your videos and really impressed by your professional knowledge and comprehensive speaking. Now I want to pick a car for myself and my budget is 30k-35k, I have a difficult time to make a decision between used VW CC VR6 4 motion and this new fully loaded chrysler 200c all wheel drive ( cause Chrysler has a 3k discount in northeast region). Could you give any suggestions?

Big problem at Ford...the dashboards on the Fusions are warping after just one year on the road. This is a huge problem down here in Florida.

Really liking the look of this Sedan. I would rank it #2 behind the Mazda 6 in looks. Alex will you be driving the VW GTI?

How would you rate the 2015 Legacy updated Eyesight system with color compared to a Radar system? Everything I have read/seen seems to point to the Eyesight system being better than a radar system so just curious. How is the comparison between the Subaru AWD system and the Chrysler 200 AWD system (how does this system function also)? Is Subaru still at the top in regard to this? When will you have a 2015 Subaru Legacy review? :D

How do you think the S and C models compare to the buick regal and Acura TLX*? [*edit: previously TSX by mistake]

Does this car have turn signal indicators in the side mirrors?

I have a question I have the old 2011 Chrysler 200 and I'm looking to up grade to the new one. The question I have is it worth it I hear the head room is not good and My family and friends are 5"10 or taller

Alex, Honda has some select volume dealers (so they tell me) our Accord LX with the CVT was $20,700 with destination charges included. The price was LOWER than the advertised price on the HONDA website, quite a surprise to me. On the other side of the coin, I visited a Mazda dealer that up charged on the 3 hatchback entry level making it around 25k to get one! That dealer claimed to have put nitrogen in the tires for $200(prove it). Similarly, when we bought our 2011 Sentra SR in early 2011, we negotiated them down from the 17.5K asking price to 15K. A cool ancillary video to produce would be about real world prices asked by dealerships. I find that lately Mazda is trying to upcharge based on the popularity of the new models.

I was going to look at nissan and subaru, but i just cannot stand cvt transmissions!

Performance wise the 200 actually stacks up well against its competition. Too bad Chrysler's terrible reliability is crippling the car when it comes to sales & reviews. All I hear from this car is transmission issues & engine trouble everywhere. I like this car but I would be hard pressed to recommend it to anyone unless they have a VERY GOOD relationship to a local Chrysler mechanic or dealer.

Hey Alex what happened to 5th 900 review

Sadly, as much as I love the looks and reviews of the 2015+ Chrysler 200--I'll stick with the "lipstick-on-a-pig-Sebring" from 2011-2014. I'm 6'4" with a 38" inseam. I REQUIRE a 2-door, and Chrysler's hardtop convertible gave me the midsize coupé I've been looking for. B-pillars are a major blindspot for me whilst looking left for oncoming traffic. Plus, I enjoy the brutish-ness of good old American styling. I want to hear that THUD of safety when I shut the door.

Alex, after about 100 years in the auto business, you would think that chrysler would be able to build at least a reliable cars by now. why do you think they continue to struggle and rank at the bottom of the list year after year?

All those trees there you would think there would be more road kill.

RIP Chrysler 200

Funny... mine takes 5.8 seconds to get to 20 mph same car wth

I never thought a car video could offer too much information but these videos do. There's no reason why one car should need several videos to give a detailed review. I feel no more informed about a car after watching one of these videos than I do watching an eight min video on cnet. I like your videos, but I doubt anyone needs EVERY button in a vehicle explained in this much detail. I find myself falling asleep watching or skipping though half of the videos.

I disagree when u say this is less than a fully loaded fusion. The fusion loaded it's about 38k, this is the same as your 200

beautiful car, yes...$37,860?...no. (that's Infiniti Q50 territory).

Just for fun put 300 lbs in the Nissan and see if it keeps up.

looks like a neon

The 300 is ugly. The newer models have gotten better it looks like a box on wheels.

He talks to dang much it makes me lose interest like dang breath

I see you still haven't figured out how to position a camera in the rear half of the passenger compartment to give an interesting driving perspective. That is the secret sauce of a good car video and we don't even need to see your lips moving to understand you :)

First of all dude you talk WAY too much you gave me a headache. Secondly you haven't driven a Honda or a Camry or a Passat lately. They drive like lunch boxes and hit pot holes like a junker. This car is by far superior in every way then any of it's competitors. I have driven all of them and I am a fussy guy and nothing compares. Sorry you flunk on your review big time. This is coming from a GMC man !
