I am 6"1 and sitting in the back of this car is very comfortable.

Just rented the same car went from the middle of New Mexico to the east side of Knoxville Tennessee and back, growing up and driving V8's all my life I have to say the car, with only a 4 cylinder did great, had no issues at all with it, it just remains to be seen is how they will last, I was impressed, and thats hard to do, it was a 2015 and had a little over 39,000 on it, after 8 days I took it back with over 42,000 on it, like I said for a 4 banger it was nice, but I can't help but wonder how the 6 cyl. would be like, oh yea I averaged 80 to 90 mph and got around 30 miles to the gallon, when you keep it under 75 it does 38 mpg's, liked it and enjoyed the drive.

I would never mistake this for a Tesla model S , lol

My father has a 2015 Chrysler 200 with the 2.4 Tigershark, and he recently had the dealership perform all of the available transmission software updates (I believe there's 3 software updates that Chrysler has come out with since the car was first introduced, and they were issued as TSBs - technical service bulletins) and I can report that they made a significant improvement in the overall performance of the ZF 9AT in this car. The jerkiness in 1st gear when accelerating from a stop is now gone, the occasional harsh downshift is also gone, and the upshifts feel noticeably tighter and more brisk. The overall performance is definitely sportier and less sluggish than before. I've also read online that the updates even give the car a small improvement in 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. For anyone that has a Chrysler 200 (or a newer Jeep Cherokee) I would strongly recommend you have your dealership peform all of the available transmission software updates on your car, it certainly makes a big improvement.

Love the buttons on the back. Who reads the text on the buttons?

I always thought the 200 was a compact car until I read it's supposed to be a midsize.

Y’all people wild this car is amazing to me this was my first car and I still have it and never had a problem with it and I bought it used

10:30 "looking at the center stack the arm rest does not adjust UHH it does adjust" NIce save.

As a general comment, you have a natural ability to communicate and convey the very things that car folks want. You relate to us and that builds trust and confidence. I'm looking at getting a 2016 MDX and Jag F-Type as a result of your review. Keep up the reviews.

Had this car as a rental. Not bad. The pick up is slow and sluggish and strangely, the steering wheel has no controls for the radio but other than that, the ride was smooth and the car looks great.

this is one of the best midsize cars. It has looks, interior quality, and power. Bout time Chrysler is showing who's the boss.

I rented the 2016 version of this exact model and drove it 2800 miles in 3 days. I was impressed all around though the thing that really stood out to me was the 9 speed automatic transmission. Seamless shifts bolstered by decent power for a 4 cylinder available at basically any speed on the gauge.

I own this particular car. You did an excellent job and hit it out of the park with this car. Not to say I have buyers remorse. I knew what I was buying and bought it because I was offered a deal I couldn't refuse. I purchased it really cheap but there are some things I decided to live with. The sight lines while driving are horrible. Especially the pillars and the low profile roof in the back. It takes a lot of getting used to understanding where blind spots are. My transmission works fine because I drive like an old lady. Any normal person would absolutely hate it. Love the dash board and features. It is a good looking car. Good engine...but the other thing you mentioned that bothers me is this car should get better gas mileage. This coming from someone that drove an SUV for years. I like the sound system though and the infotainment system is excellent. I wouldn't buy this at list price...but I would at the price I got it.

what! the glove box is not aligned with Felt? NOOOOOO!

I like the look of the new 200, but those cloth seats look kind of ugly. Also, you need to show us your new miata Sofyan!

Tanks for the honest review. With regards on your comments about the transmission, when I was looking at the owner's manual for my new 200S (4 cyl), I read that the transmission is getting programmed the first 1000 miles or so to your driving habits. The transmission does seem to take long to finally decide to switch gears though. In S mode (your L mode on your tester) the transmission doesn't seem to want to go over 6th gear and it is more 'johnny on the spot' than in regular mode. Reasons why I bought this car 1 Looks sexy AF. 2 Super quiet cabin, especially on the freeway 3 it seems to soak up the rough patches on the roads better than other cars 3 it feels heavier than japanese cars 4 I didn't see any other mid size sedan offer ventilated seats 5 uconnect works great

I've owned my 200 Limited for about a month. The transmission is a bit funky. In spite of having nine gears, I t seems to be constantly one gear low most of the time. Unlike most automatics, you can't simply "fake it out" by letting off the gas abruptly to get it to shift up. This transmission would rather whine at 4000 rpm uphill than shift to the next higher, and more appropriate gear. I travel a steep hill regularly, and I watch my fuel economy tank every time. If the shift points/tuning were more efficient, I would be 100% in love with the car. There was a complaint in the review about the low roof, which I noticed when I first drove the car. I actually test drove the car twice before buying, and it wasn't until the second drive that I found the seat ratcheted down. I'd like a smidgen more head clearance, but it is better than sufferable. My family of five fits comfortably - one kid out of boosters, one in a booster, and one in a car seat - and I'm not exactly a small guy. Overall, it is a bit quirky, but it fits well, and takes the long commute like a champ. If the transmission were tuned a bit better, I'd be over-the-moon in love.

I am driving a 4 cylinder 200 at the moment. Your review is pretty much spot on except for the fuel economy. The gas mileage is simply terrible. I get like 19 mpg in the city. Combined I struggle to average 21mpg. I don't understand how a 4 cylinder with a 9 speed auto can get such bad gas mileage. It is definitely much better on the highway where it can get 36mpg, but once you drive it in the city the mileage just tanks. I can barely get 300 miles out of a tank. Why is the mileage so poor in this car? I don't even drive hard either. I try to drive it with a very light foot and it still sucks at fuel economy.

I'm currently a owner of a 2015 200 in that same trim and color. I love it and I have to call him out dinging the rear steering wheel controls for the scan and volume. They are great you never have to let go of the steering to change songs/stations or adjust the volume. Why the heck would they label the back of the steering wheel which you can't see? It also keeps less clutter on the front controls.

was soooo happy to see this in my subscription box! love this car. I think for its price range it definitely looks premium. great review.

I love how knowledgeable you are! ...

The problem with the 4-cyl base model transmission is that it is NOT built by ZF. It is a ZF design, but Chrysler builds it themselves, they just license the design from ZF. Frankly, they should dump ZF and go with the much better Aisin transmissions.

These new 200's are a very good car. As a person who hasn't trusted an American car in some time, these new 200's we rented definitely renewed my view on Chrysler cars in a positive way. If you haven't driven or looked at an American car in the last few years, definitely head to the local dealer, i'm sure you will be impressed like I was. It's good to see American car companies building a quality products again.

"Come my lady, come come my lady, your my butterfly suga baby, come my lady your my pretty lady, I'll make ya legs shake, you make me go crazy"

I was absolutely not impressed with my 2015 Chrysler 200. It was on its second transmission within 7000 km (3800 miles) had electrical issues and would suddenly accelerate while coasting to red lights. The drivers side seat bolster was already showing signs of major wear. I ended up trading it in for something different. Based on my experience I would not recommend this car. Great review as always!

Had this car for a rental for two weeks in May. Most of the comments in the video are sound; the transmission was strange (but I drive a manual), the entry was low ( I had a few bumps) and the rear view, especially the wing mirrors, were almost fatal at times. That said, it was very easy to drive, extremely comfortable and got considerably better mileage than the reviewer (possibly because I did not thrash it everywhere). My overall mileage was around 29, but on a run out on that long smooth road up to Cape Canaveral, I was actually getting into the 40s - and that was at the speed limit for the road (65-70 if I remember rightly).

I cringed hearing the engine start up.

I love this car. no torque steer. I own two bmw's - and this is a GREAT daily driver. the 4cyl provides more than adequate power and the transmission is impressively smooth. My only gripe is that the headlamps could be brighter and I'm hearing CV axle noises at 28K miles.

Nice review. I don't think the Japanese have much to worry about from this car. The powertrain is way below par.

Would you choose this car over a Ford Focus 2017

Kudos to you for not always testing the top of the line models.

I have the 15 s model and it does have the duel exhaust

Shame on Chrysler for discontinuing the 200. A little more polishing and it could have been a world-class family sedan as it was well on its way already. I thought the interior designer materials were amazing, the little details such as the Detroit skyline in the storage bin, and more were just awesome. I heard that the 9-speed Auto had some reliability issues though.

The intro was all epic like a Ridley Scott movie lol

The volume control is on the back of the steering wheel. Why would you need it to be labeled!!?? You gonna reach your head around the steering wheel to look while your driving? It's a simple push the left it changes the channel or track, push the right, it turns the volume up and down. It's better than having 9000 buttons on the steering wheel.

They dont even make them anymore, though it does look very good.

The front of the car reminds me of the Pacifica and the back reminds me of the Dodge dart

+Redline Reviews I drove a 200s 2.4L from DC to NYC and back (as a rental) and felt like I had to floor it just to catch up to the car in front of me during traffic; this seemed to occur due to the cars tendency to seek out higher gears for improved fuel economy. The model I drove had paddle shifters, which were nice but took up to two seconds to shift gears. The technology in the car was very convenient and I did love the feel of the leather steering wheel, but in the end the way the transmission acted in traffic made me want to drive the car into a lake. Very accurate and detailed review, I felt like I was screaming "yes" to everything you said.

12:01 I don't know why but this part has me dead😂

I have a 2015 200c with all of the packages and I LOVE IT!!!!! I like it more than my 2013 Honda Accord.

Will you be reviewing the new refreshed Honda Accord? Can you please review both sedan and coupe models please?

As a long term car , lets say 150,00 miles is this a good choice, many ppl tell me Chrysler is not the most reliable brand out there.

I had one of these as a rental car. I was genuinely unimpressed. The transmission lurches at slow speeds, it feels underpowered, and the brakes about throw you through the windshield because they're way too sensitive. There are so many better midsize sedans in this class.

Proof that more gears isn't always better. Maybe in a few years it will better though.

Why didn't you review the 200S? I love that car.

Im driving this car for now, I got it as a rental since my got rear ended. This car sucks, Chrysler really tried hard to make it a luxury car with really cheap looking parts. At first glance looks ok, but once you sit and drive it feels as if you were in a kia.

Do a review on the new mazda you got!

HR-V review soon? Love your reviews, very informative and enjoyable to watch.

Like the review. When r we going to see the new miata?

As someone that works in the rental car industry, I disagree, it does seem very rental car like in many aspects to me. Having been in the V6 S and many of the demo models shown in the video, the V6 S is nicer but overall the dash seems very hollow and the transmission seems very jerky by comparison to most other models in any segment, like an automated manual similar to what I believe is the design in the automatic Ford Focuses. Overall I would agree with the review though, glad I found your channel.

Mazda 6, Accord V6, Fusion V7 sport then this 200S V6 . All are very good.

Thank you so much for doing this video You helped me decide not to get it because of the low roof, the a-pillar, small mirrors and lethargicness and it sounds noisy etc All the best and God bless

I’m going with this vehicle or a Optima from Kia. Trying to seek which is better

even if redesigned, u can't get away from a bad reputation. Once a rental car, always a rental car

That Blue would make Hertz proud.

I’ll be honest I just drove this for a loaner car. That thing loved to shake and shutter

Why would control button be labeled on the back of the steering wheel. Read the owners manual and you’ll know what it is. It’s pretty much been the same since early 2000.

I had a 2013 300 and the transmission was the same lazy In The lower gears, very frustrating, ditched it for a Lexus lol

that panel that sorrounds the center console is to mimic a brush metal.

I'm guessing there is no dodge version

Looks great all around, especially the interior design.

Might be getting this for a first car or the 2014 model but this one is so much better

You exactly complained about the things that Alex on autos consider them advantages of 200. lol

Idk how FCA tuned this transmission to shift so slow. I mean with 9 speeds, you would think that it would shift faster, but yeah, it definitely feels like a 4 or 5 speed transmission. Now of course ZF’s 9 speed is not the best transmission, but Honda and Acura definitely tuned the transmission to shift quicker and better.

This car needs leather with that sleek interior.

Chrysler has never been able to build any small or midsized automobiles worth a dam. No wonder why they almost went bankrupt back in the early 80's.

How do you think the 200 in the S trim compares against the 2015 Hyundai Sonata 1.6 T Eco and the 2016 Mazda 6 in terms of sportiness, comfort and built quality?

the rear end looks identical to the one in the ghibli smh

I was thinking about test driving. Not after seeing this vid, nice review.

Spot-on comment, about the 9-speed ... It works *excellent* with the 3.6 liter, though .. for whatever reason.

I rented one back in March and it was a pretty decent ride, other than the Transmission always hunting for gears.

the 200 name came in 2011 the design came out in 2007

2016 accord and Mazda 2 please!

35$ grand for a mid size Chrysler!! Crazy. I'll pass, so many other better cars for less money.

9 speed is just a trick to attract buyers.I'll take a regular 6 or 5 speed manual over these

nope, still a major rental car.

How come you didn't so the 2016??? Im on the fence about getting one and i want to know how much the transmission inproved from the 2015 model.

hey Sofan, thanks for the review I was edging toward the Limited to save mon$$$ the S is worth the extra.

i want to see the Chrysler 300, and the Dodge Charger/Challenger! You should also do the Durango, and the Jeep Grand Cherokee!!

I own a Bentley and a Rolls Royce and sold them both because this baby-baller-Tesla-RollsRoyce-Bugatti Chrysler 200 is so much better than both of those cars combined. Fuck all the haters, this is the best and most luxurious car in the world, don't let anybody tell you otherwise. YOU tell me what you'd rather have in your interior.... extremely complex plastics that took centuries for mankind to perfect, and take hours as well as hundreds of different compounds to produce, or the dry skin from a cow carcass?

I personally don’t think the 2.4 sounds that bad lol. I want some “fast and furious” grunt, no matter how it sounds

I always like your reviews.

this car really should but only shortened platform of a Chrysler 300 therefore the car probably will sell better and I have no issues. design-wise ergonomics the Chryslers have always been pretty but have had problems with their electronics and Powertrain overtime

my dream car

This is a way prettier car than a altima or Camry. Chrysler is luxurious looking. A camry is not. Visibility or not

Do you think dodge will bring back the avenger in this platform. Dodge is the only brand that lacks a midsize brand because the dart is considered a compact

Mine is at 110000 and haven't had a single issue.

Chrysler needs to take notes from Mazda 6 and Ford Fusion on how to make this car fun.

Sofyan i was wondering if the acura tsx is better than this 200 and why

If I buy Chrysler product, then I will loose my friends. That's how I want to put it as.

How can u feel between a soft and hard plastic thanks

Can you review the BRZ?

so, you can get a used 2015 200C (top trim) with all the options for like 23 grand right now, and thats at under 10k miles brand new they're 33 grand with various lease incentives, 37 grand if you buy it outright hmmmmm

love the reviews!

Have never seen this car on the road......

You expect a sporty feel for the non sporty trim , it’s for comfort not racing 😂

v6 and "s" models ( 4 cyl ) come with dual exhaust not just the v6 (: i have the 200 limited and it isn't bad of a car (:

Dear Sofyan, when will you review the new 2016 Hyundai Tucson ?

Wow. Chrystler is not quality? No labels on the back of the steering wheel? Small leg room? BS. I love redline reviews but you annoyed me on this one.

I still see sooooooo many of these as rentals
