Kyrie Bakunas I thought the same cuz the head camera was a liiiiitttle too high

or Ross from friends lol

Same I got a blue 200s with 43k miles on it they do have bad transmission problems and Chrysler discontinued the 200 line up as well as Dodge Dart

Omgg I also upgraded from a Chevy colbat 2008

I agree with you. Saabkyle04 has a great channel, but his videos have gotten WAY too long and he only reviews really expensive cars anymore. I liked his channel better when he did all sorts of cars, not just exotics, sports cars, and luxury cars and his videos weren't longer than 10 minutes.

97I30T There still is 'some' variety but his videos are the same every single time, at least with EE there's some fun and enthusiasm into it.

DarkHawk1303 Yeah, but they run around $35K, which is nutty.

I forgot which model has the automatic parking

***** Or you get a car that has to downshift 5 gears to overtake. The only real benefit I see is highway driving at low rpm. The 8 speed I was in felt like it could never make up its mind

An auto does not have to “drop 5 gears” to overtake. It is not a sequential gearbox. It will downshift, for example, from 9th straight to 3rd.

Armaan R while this is true, in situations like going up a hill the more you press on the gas the, the more it downshifts. You can notice this when you go up a long hill etc

Camhin1 ford raptor i believe has 12 or is coming with 12

Armaan R Assuming the gearbox is programmed properly. I'll rather take a good 4 speed that shifts smoothly and predictably over a 9 speed that can't make up it's mind.

Test drive one instead of using the rental. The transmission issues are worked out to a degree. Rentals probably will still have the issue.

It had 3 recalls. 1 to close a potential security hole when using Mobile Wifi, 1 for a seat belt sensor that doesn't affect most vehicles, and 1 to correct the transmissions tuning. 0 were for safety. Still its a Chrysler. If you get this vehicle, expect to spend another $4k on the long term warranty if you don't plan to modify the vehicle. Will probably be needed.

Peter Schmidt from what iv been told by a Chrysler mechanic, they are a real pain to work on. bad bolt placement and stupid plastic clips holding everything together.

When every other car in this segment is pulling 40 mpg 37 mpg is mediocre.

Leo There are no cars in the mid size that get real world average 37 1/2 MPG. Not including hybrids, which MIGHT pass that. Most compacts don't get even rated at 38 comb, let alone real world. But even IF cars got 40mpg, 2.4 less is certainly not mediocre.

+wiibaron +wiibaron This doesn't get 37 real world average mpg. It gets 37 EPA highway mpg. By comparison, the Corolla (same class) gets 42 EPA highway MPG. 5 mpg less than everyone else is at best acceptable, I wouldn't call it "pretty good".

Leo Didn't watch the video, eh? This guy got 37.6 mpg in this car. He did 0-60, and ran around in it. He got better than the HWY number. And a Corolla is not a mid size but a compact like a Dart, which has a 41 HWY MPG figure. A 200 is the same as a Camry: 23k-35k,100+ cuft of space.and 25/35 mpg. everyone knows a mid size from a compact although that Dart is kindof big for its class.

+wiibaron I don't know how he gets those figures, but 37 is super high. I average 35-36 on a long road trip, but I live in Texas. He's in Colorado with a much higher elevation. That would account for the better than average mpg. On a trip to Utah, I averaged about 5 mpg better than Texas

Yes. No one could afford an s class, masseratti, saab, BMW, Bentley, Rolls Royce, Audi, infiniti, Lexus, acura, lincoln or cadillac nor is it that premium, but yes it is a luxury car. 30k mid sized sedan with alot of bells & whistles, plus Chrysler is dodge's luxury division. Everyone has their own tastes.

Last I checked, Dodge is a part of Chrysler. Ever heard of the big 3? Ford? GM? Chrysler? Or maybe the Daimler-Chrysler or now Fiat-Chrysler group?

cutthroat795 i always thought chrysler was dodge's branch, but i guess not. Chysler is the luxury division though

Oscar Merlin Never mind, i found out. Though, single overhead cam with 4 valves per cylinder? That's a vit unusual

Ricky Edwards Throttle tuning.

good question!

Did you end up liking it ?

JaWe Hahaha, I've actually been thinking about that lately. I've been wondering about a "Life in an electric car" and seeing how easy/challenging it makes everything.

Engineering Explained hey I saw your video on turbo lag and I always thought that was called boost threshold, since I guess its not can you make a video explaining what boost threshold is?

sound system, radio tuning and volume

Hit the Circle with an arrow in the middle of it on the steering wheel. Press the Set + or Set - to set it. Press them again to adjust the speed. You can also setup automatic cruise control depending on the package.

I plan on getting on with 133,000miles …. What’s your take

@@Crimeandexposure did u get it?

+RaphaelYC It's a multiair engine, intake valves don't use a cam. Look it up, it's really clever.

There's something even better in the works, smiles guaranteed, you'll see pictures tomorrow on Instagram (/engineeringexplained).

Engineering Explained please do the bmw 3series and comparte it to bmw m3 both 2015

Engineering Explained could you do the 2016 Mazda 6?

Yes it’s really worth it

It will be released when you press the gas pedal

Barrasali Ahmed I always imagined a small child in the front seat and they'd just be like "mommy what's this button do" *click*

Justis Cady Logically it would only activate if the car isnt moving. who knows.

You can't engage it without having your foot on the brake.

I did It, and It only engages at 10MPH max, and a warning chime will start. Over that speed nothing happens; excpet for the chime previously mentioned. Yeah, had to try It ;)

Space.

Miguel Angel Medina Rise Because it’s unreliable. That 9 speed auto is trash and is a frequently replaced due to defects.

Ryan Garr worth a buy?

Ryan Garr , did you buy it new? I just put down a deposit on one that has 30k miles, and reading all these bad reviews, I'm thinking of getting my money back.

Ivan Matz I think that the Chrysler is meant to be a more upmarket compact size offering, with better interior appointments and more exterior style. The 300 hp V6 is also exclusive the 200. Both the Dart and the 200 are pretty good as far as compact cars go.

***** Good point, the 200 also has a longer wheelbase, which gives it a larger interior.

Well, while I get your points, I believe one of the two will be discountinued, just like the Dodge Durango will be because of the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Ivan Matz I'm sure that it's possible for one of the two to be phased out, but I think the sales numbers will ultimately determine this. As things look now, both the Dart and the 200 have enough distinct qualities to justify their existence. It would probably be easier for FCA to discontinue the 200 as opposed to the Dart, as the Dart is in a pretty important market segment.

The Dart is a compact, the 200 is a mid-size. Both these vehicles are being discontinued and Chrysler leaving this market after they lived through their product life cycle. FCA already has a number of products that compete in similar areas which sell better.

7150285 I don't want to be a car salesman.

He reviews what the dealer gives him

Yes! Electric cars for sure! Hoping to get a Tesla in eventually, but no news yet. Also, regarding the dealer comment, I take zero cars from dealers.

Looking forward to it!

Tyler Cullen I should've got a Ford

What about the 2016 models? Do you think those are better?

I have the 200 s can’t relate

Mines either

Agreed, I see some Audi design cues lifted for this car.

JaWe I see some KIA design

Taketa Taketa Well, KIA did steal Audi's lead designer a while back, so that's why KIA's sometimes look a lot like Audi's

A lot of the design was lifted. Overall exterior is a Ford Fusion. Has some hints of Audi. Proportions are more Chrysler. Interior has some features lifted from Jaguar.

HellzHonour no the Audi looks like a Chrysler.

+Y Brent Stayed within 5 mph of the speed limit. Speed ranged from 55 to 65 on the highway. You can see the full course in my Chevy Volt review.

Chrysler's tend to be exact on their MPG ratings from the EPA unlike some Japanese brands. The 8th and 9th gear seem to be matched for 65 and 70 mph on near level highway. You won't have some of the natural drawbacks of a belt driven transmission, so it should get better mpg at the speeds its gears are specifically matched to. Throughout the entire speed range a lighter vehicle with CVT should get better MPG. I can get 38+ mpg highway in this when driving a constant 70 mph in San Diego which can be a bit hilly. When going over this speed the mpg drops off to around 32-34 mpg, and in the city it drops off a lot to its EPA ratings.

I average 21 mpg

Are you using the 3.6 liter AWD?

Brent, I have the V6 3.6 l version of this. The transmission has nine gears with final ratio being 0.48. That means when in 9th gear the wheels turn little more than two rotations for every one rotation of the engine. This is an extremely low transmission ratio. I can get easily about 37mpg average on a 300 mile road-trip driving 80mph. However, because lower gears have very high ratio (main drive is 5th gear), it takes a lot of gas to get going from a dead stop. So, while the car can have about 32-37mpg cruising at 35mph on flat ground, the average city drive mileage, with heavy traffic and a lot of "stop and go" is about 22 mpg. Overall, per tank I get about 28 mpg depending on how much highway driving I do. Also, it has been a hot summer so all these numbers are with AC running. I would not be surprised if you could add another 10%-15% by turning AC off. The reason why the gas mileage on this car is so great (keep in mind I am talking about a 3.6l V6) is for two reasons and they both pertain to the transmission: 1) The transmission has a 9 gears and 4 of them are overdrive (ratio smaller than 1). This means that the engine can be kept at the lower number of rotations during cruise, where you get the best economy. 2) All of the clutches in the transmission (If i remember right there are 6 of them) are slipless clutches. This means that at no point during the life of this car's transmission are you going to lose power because a clutch in the transmission is slipping. Just about all work potential (Horsepower, or Wattage) going in one end comes out the other and only things that change significantly are speed (rpm) and strength (torque). Though, the reason 2 is also why the shifts are not "creamy smooth" sometimes. There are other reasons for good gas mileage as well. Like how the engine has variable valve timing... The engine is very efficient. But, I highly doubt I would be getting more than 30-32mpg on a highway trip if it had a standard 6 speed automatic or even a 6 speed manual.

It was nice in this Portland heat wave. Getting in a car that's been sitting in the sun, when it's already 105 outside? No thanks!

If you live where it gets really cold or really hot, you'll come to know the value of remote start pretty fast.

The Stig's German Cousin/ I have this car.... didn’t know it even had remote start... 🤦🏾‍♀️

Robert Palmer I hate my 200. I wanna leave a grenade in the trunk

babberdy dabberdy looking to by one. Can you tell me why?

*2.4 and it has an optional v6 which is very similar to most of the competition
