2015 Chrysler 200 Review: Extremely Unreliable & Cramped Midsize Sedan With Transmission Failures

Oct 25, 2022

The 2015 Chrysler 200 only lasts around 120,000 miles with serious transmission and engine problems. At $11,875 to $14,400, it’s cheap, but not worth the money when it will take thousands to keep one running as it gets older.

The Good

Interior materials are luxurious for the price, the touch-screen stereo system is advanced and there’s an optional all-wheel-drive system.

The Bad

Rear legroom is cramped compared to other sedans, the base 4-cylinder engine is weak and ownership costs are higher than average.

Is the 2015 Chrysler 200 a Good Used Car?

Overall Rating 5/10 – 2015 is a terrible year for the Chrysler 200 since there are endless transmission & engine problems, giving it a low overall rating. Owner reviews complain about transmission failures, high running costs, along with overall build quality issues.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo 7/10 – Interior materials are better than average, the seats are not very supportive for long drives, while cargo space is better than average.
Reliability 3/10 – There are widespread transmission and engine problems on the 2015 Chrysler 200. Avoid models from 2011–2013 along with 2015–2016. The good years for the Chrysler 200 are 2014 as well as 2017.
Performance 8/10 – Performance is poor from the base 4-cylinder while the V6 engine is quicker than most other midsize cars.
Safety 8/10 – The 2015 Chrysler 200 is safe, earning a perfect 5-star rating in government crash tests. Optional safety technology includes a rearview camera, blind spot monitoring, forward collision warning, as well as automatic braking.
Gas Mileage 7/10 – Fuel economy is good at up to 28 MPG giving 442 miles of range from the 15.8 gallon tank. Gas costs are $26 lower than average, at $198 per month.
Value 6/10 – The 2015 Chrysler 200 is cheaper than other midsize cars, however, the expensive running costs make it a bad long-term value proposition.

Positive Owner Reviews

Diana D

Sleek head turner with all the necessary comforts for a very enjoyable ride.

Sleek black look with a very quiet ride. I enjoy that while I'm driving all the Buttons are easily accessible. It's performance overall is very nice. The seats are leather with heat if preferred. Drives very well in the snow. The exterior design is very comfortable, and the outside is very sporty. The look of this car turns hard for sure. Not had many mechanical problems AT ALL IN THE 3 years I've owned it.

Allen A

Great features drives great no problem at all with this car

Drive is good powerful engine without a doubt car moves

Christine J

100% love my car, when I look to it again I will look at the 200.

Electrical recall but an easy fix. Other than that I'drives great, seats for comfortably and I love the seats heat up. Truck is really big, has satellite radio and great on gas. It will alert you whenever you have a maintenance due or if your tires are low.

Diana M

Awesome. Very spacious. Overall I am very satisfied.

Nothing yet. It is smooth driving, easy to handle. I never thought I would get a car. But I test drove it and fell in love. I am still learning all my features in my car. It has a lot of room in the back seat and in the trunk. Most of all it is a cool looking car.

MaKayla R

It's makes travel easy with great gas mileage and plenty of room for storage

I love my car! It has great gas mileage and hands free capabilities. It alerts me quickly if there is a problem.

Daniel P

It's simple, smart, fuel efficient, and comfortable.

The car has a comfortable interior with splendid hands free features that allows the car to uphold a standard of quality with an affordable price. Furthermore, parts for repairs come relatively cheap at most popular auto part vendors like autozone which I use the most. To add to that, the car rarely experiences any issues and the seats fit great for both smaller and larger passengers. The full electric driver side control is very convenient and allows full control of the vehicles functions at arms length. It's overall just a great car, simple and enjoyable.

Caroline M

One of the best cars I've ever had

The car has been super reliable for the last three years. The backup camera is very helpful when reversing. The car is a spacious five seater. I haven't had to bring it in for maintenance besides the oil changes, brake flush and windshield wipers since I've owned this vehicle. It's great on gas especially on long car rides. It's one of my favorite cars I've ever owned.

Abby M

2015 Chrysler 200 limited sedan.

My sedan has a sleek look with comfortable interior. It gets great gas mileage and seats 5 people. The interior matches the outside. The engine size is perfect for the size of the car. It also has Bluetooth and leather seats, to add a bit of comfortability and lifestyle to the car.

michealla h

It looks good on the outside but under the hood it is not so good.

My vehicle had around 2000 miles on it and I had to have the transmission replaced. I am still having problems with the transmission and they cant find anything wrong with it. I have had problem after problem with this vehicle.

Taylor M

Great first starter car. Has pretty sound system. Bluetooth, and backup camera.

It's a 2015 Chrysler 200, four door, front wheel drive. Has Bluetooth, automatic seats and windows. Has a backup camera. Great sound system. Great first started for a family. I've personally been growing out of it where my family is growing. I also live in Maine and front wheel drive isn't ideal I would prefer all wheel for my kids. Never had to do any work other than normal maintenance

A D

Known for transmission issues.

Transmission issues, drives horrible, emission issues, inside rattles when I hit a bump, not made very well.

Berry Bear

DO NOT BUY

Transmission problems within the first year. They kept updating the software which only worked for a week or two. They finally replaced the transmission and it still drove like c**p. I had another appointment set to get it looked at but before I could take it in it caught on fire. I was taking a ride to the store and on the way home I saw smoke coming from under the hood. Pulled over and got out of the car. I could see flames under the engine and within minute the entire car was engulfed in flames.

Kimberly H

The Chrysler 200 is not a great family car.

The car jerks a lot when going and stopping. The trunk is nice and large but the room inside the car is not big enough for a car seat. We cannot put the driver's seat all the way back. Gas mileage is great. Neither of the mirrors have lights on them. Overall an ok car but would never purchase again.

julie H

Poor transmission and make, beautiful car on outside.

The transmission blew within months of getting the car and the emergency light never came on. The transmission was fixed but ever since the car is jumpy and makes a thumping noise. The gas mileage is trash and the filter of the air conditioning constantly needs replacing far more frequently than normal.

Joanne H

Too many issues. Don't buy

It hasn't broken down, but it has had many issues that have required a trip to the dealer

Martha

No good

I’ve had nothing but problems first the booster giving up now the engine light is on . My traction light goes off out of no where. My airbag light is on most of the time and of course it’s not covered!

What Do Critics Say About the Chrysler 200?

Consumer Reports says the Chrysler 200 ranks behind the competition by a large margin with terrible owner satisfaction scores.
Edmunds rates the Chrysler 200 at 3.6/5, praising the powerful V6 engine, but they don’t like the limited passenger room.
Kelley Blue Book users give the Chrysler 200 a 3.8/5 enjoying the efficient 9-speed transmission, although they don’t like the lack of technology.

What Common Problems Does the 2015 Chrysler 200 Have?

Common problems found on the 2015 Chrysler 200 include transmission failures, the engine dying while driving, and being unable to start. Overall, these problems are much more severe than other midsize sedans, leading to higher repair bills as well.

Transmission failures are an extremely widespread complaint in the first 50,000 miles. There are a lot of weak components in the transmission which wear out as the Chrysler 200 ages. Rebuilding the transmission costs around $1,500, while a full replacement is nearly $4,000.

The engine dying while driving is another common problem at around 60,000 miles. The source of the problem varies depending on the car. It can be anything from a bad power cable which costs $150 to replace, all the way up to broken parts in the engine costing $1,600 to replace.

Being unable to start also shows up on a lot of Chrysler 200 models at around 25,000 miles. There are some computer issues mentioned by owners with the totally integrated power module (TIPM). If the TIPM fails it will need to be replaced, costing around $1,800, depending on local labor rates.

There are 8 serious recalls, which is worse than other midsize sedans from 2015. The most serious recall covers the transmission unexpectedly shifting into neutral, which increases the risk of a crash. Chrysler will reprogram the transmission control module to fix the issue on affected models. Other recalls cover the suspension, as well as wire harnesses which break.

How Long Will the 2015 Chrysler 200 Last?

A well-maintained 2015 Chrysler 200 may last around 120,000 miles, which is less than half as long as the top-rated Toyota Camry. Regular annual maintenance costs are higher than average, according to data provided by Repair Pal, at $552 per year.

Since nearly all 2015 Chrysler 200 models will have over 100,000 miles buyers should be prepared to replace the brake master cylinder for $450, oxygen sensors costing $220, as well as the engine oil pan, which costs $475.

Nicholas t

This is a reliable car. I have not had any issues with it, so far. Only issue I have had was with the navigation system. This was covered under warranty and ended up getting fixed.

Kirsten S

Its reliable just sucks because of the ac and the heater. Especially in the winter when it's very cold.

C G

The check engine light comes on every now and then, but for the most part it is a reliable vehicle. I really do not have any complaints.

Becky B

It is reliable. The only issue I've had was the battery was drained by a phone charger when it sat for a week because the charger was left plugged in to an outlet that provides constant power to the outlet.

Jordi B

The car is very reliable. I take it for routine oil changes and checkups. I have never had any problem with this vehicle it is very reliable.

sarah M

I find it reliable, I have not had any problems with my 200. I drive in it all day long 5 days a week.

Gloria N

My husband and I have found it to be very reliable. We use it to travel around extensively about 2 times a year putting mileage on it. We have had no problems as we service it regularly for oil changes.

lexi h

Yes super reliable, gets me too and from work, safe and sound. No it does not have any issues, runs good, gets good gas mileage and it's a nice looking car.

How Is the Technology?

Entertainment technology is average in the 2015 Chrysler 200 with optional 5 or 8.4-inch touch screen stereo systems available. Safety technology is also very good, offering an optional rearview camera, blind spot monitoring, and even forward collision warning with automatic braking.

Is the 2015 Chrysler 200 a Good Value?

No, the 2015 Chrysler 200 is not a good value since there are a lot of expensive problems that develop as they get older. Blue book prices range from $12,300 to $14,850, making it cheaper than a Honda Accord or VW Passat. When new, the price range was $21,995 to $30,825. Depreciation is worse than average, losing about 13% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Chrysler 200?

There are four models of the Chrysler 200 offered in 2015 from the base LX all the way up to the more luxurious C.

What Engines Come In the Chrysler 200?

The base engine is an average 2.4L-4-cylinder which makes 184 horsepower while getting up to 28 MPG.
A step up is the strong 3.6L V6 which generates 295 horsepower at up to 22 MPG. Performance is good, taking only 6.2 seconds to go from 0-60 MPH.

What Colors Does the Chrysler 200 Come In?

How Comfortable Is the Chrysler 200?

The 2015 Chrysler 200 is a comfortable midsize sedan offering room for up to 5 people. The seats are softer than average for a sedan, leading to the cushions wearing down quickly as they age.

Passenger room is worse than other midsize sedans with less legroom in the back seats, making them cramped for anyone over 6 feet tall.

How Much Storage Space Does the Chrysler 200 Have?

Cargo space is better than the competition with a very large trunk which has enough room to fit 5-6 full size suitcases.

What Are the Differences Between Years?

The second generation of the Chrysler 200 was introduced in 2015 and was discontinued after 2017 due to declining sales.

2011: Renamed version of the Chrysler Sebring with new engines & styling.

2012: No major changes.

2013: S package only available on Touring & Limited models.

2014: Standard 6-speed automatic transmission on all models.

2015: Fully redesigned for the second generation with all-new styling and engines.

2016: Firmer front seats, optional 90^th anniversary package, rearview camera on Limited model.

2017: Final model year for the Chrysler 200 with no major changes.

How Does the Chrysler 200 Compare to the Competition?

The Chrysler 200 ranks as one of the worst midsize cars from 2015 since there are a lot of serious mechanical problems which show up as it ages, making it one to avoid.

The Ford Fusion is another midsize sedan which costs around $1,500 less. Passenger room is better in the Ford Fusion, while the Chrysler 200 has a nicer interior for the money. We recommend the Ford Fusion since there are significantly fewer complaints from owners.

The Hyundai Sonata is a competitor which costs around $700 more. Reliability ratings are much better in the Hyundai Sonata, although the Chrysler 200 has a more powerful engine available. We recommend the Hyundai Sonata since it will last longer, with lower running costs.

Nicholas t

Yes. This vehicle is great. It is dependable, safe. The sound system is very strong for a stock system. Haven't had any real trouble with it yet. I am happy with this purchase.

Kirsten S

Yes. It ran great when I first got it. Although the heater does not work on the passenger side and then the ac doesn't work on the drivers side.

C G

Yes. It is dependable, great in gas, and fast. I only have to fill up once a week within the city.

Becky B

Yes, very fuel efficient, midsize sedan. Front wheel drive. Can comfortably fit 4 adults. It would be nice to have a CD player.

Jordi B

Yes, the Chrysler 200 has the feel of luxury without the outstanding price. This car rides smooth and is good on gas.

sarah M

Biscuit on November 21, 2022

I love this car... But only because I bought the Mopar Maximum Care extended warranty.

I love my car, I really do. I own the 2015 Chrysler 200C with the V-6 engine and every option except for the safety package (I don't need my car to tell me how to maintain my lane) and the AWD (this was a huge mistake and wish I'd gotten it). However, the only reason I can and still love it is because I bought the lifetime bumper-to-bumper warranty (Max Care). Since buying it off the showroom floor in March 2015 I've had the following parts replaced: - Upper Contol Arms (both) - Lower Control Arms (both) - Strut Mounts (both sides) - Struts (both twice) - Shocks (twice) - Transmission - Transmission Control Unit - Steering Gear Module (twice) - Oil Cooler - Water Pump - Nearly every radiator hose - Whole top end of the engine (valves, cams, rockers, lifters, etc) - #6 Cylinder Fuel Injector - Two Motor Mounts - Wheel (cracked for no apparent reason) - Driver Seat Rail (bent...and I only weigh 170 lbs) - Driver Seat Bottm (tear in leather) I'm sure I've forgotten to mention something. In any case, I do love the styling, the handing, the sound system, etc. She drives like a dream when everything works. All told I've spent over $1400 just on warranty deductibles but it sure beats the heck out of paying the umpteen thousands of dollars that I would have spent repairing this car since I bought it. Final thought: I love her, but if it weren't for the warranty, I would have sold her or junked her a long time ago.

Megan Shaneyfelt, Indiana on December 22, 2023

I love my 2015 Chrysler 200!

Bought the car used with around 43k miles , close to 5yrs ago. I now have almost 194k miles on it and no major issues so far. I'm a speeder, thought that was worth mentioning. I've driven it from Indianapolis to Pigeon Forge atleast 3 times, a non-stop drive to Myrtle Beach as well, packed to the gills. Mileage is still around 35/40mpg on long drives. It does use more oil than I think it should. It has changed my mind on whatI thought 4 cylinders could be capable of. I've always owned 8's tillI started having to drive a lot for work. I get close to 100 miles a day. I don't know if my story is typical, but I definitely think it's worth mentioning.

Besides recalls not a bad car which now has 192,000 miles and still running

Love on October 26, 2022

This car is great

I love it

Kristin C on June 25, 2021

100,000 miles and going strong.

I like the design of the vehicle. It rides comfortably for long and short car rides. I do wish that a higher quality of material was used in the interior. Though would finishes and easily staining fabrics run throughout period I love the satellite radio and overall performance of the vehicle. I just hit 100,000 mi.

LaMinta G on June 21, 2021

Sleek and connected with the times.

This vehicle has gets great gas mileage. If you plan to have taller individuals ride in the car it can be a bit cramped. Sleek and trim. Equipped with Sirius radio and in car navigation. Phone can connect via Bluetooth to allow hands free talking and the ability to stream music to the car from your phone.

Taylor S on June 19, 2021

I highly recommend this car for any age. It is reliable and safe.

I love this car and the way it drives. The blue lights look awesome at night and I love the advanced technology of. It does ride very low but that is how I like to drive so it works well with me. The only problem I have is the dim headlights. It might just be a personal problem with my car specifically but I do wish the headlights were brighter.

Amber B on June 16, 2021

Love for somebody who wants a good car.

I love my car! Just have problems with my oil being changed. I have a white Chrysler and it looks stained in the back. My brakes are going out for the first time in 5 years so that's nice. Overall it's a great car but I am ready for something bigger my husband is 6'7 so my daughters legs are very long. I feel like she does not have enough room in the back and she is 3. But I also could be overreacting because I want a bigger car.

Ashley D on June 15, 2021

Mostly reliable, but will cause issues very randomly.

Issues with heat only working on highest setting, computer shuts down and restarts constantly (this happens randomly), car hydroplanes very easily. Lots of backseat space, but design creates giant blind spot, and style of trunk makes it so anything large cannot be put into it even though it would fit.

Miriam K on June 7, 2021

Sleek interiors, difficult maneuverability.

The seating is comfortable and there is enough leg room for all passengers. Built in seat heating and rear air conditioning makes riding in the car enjoyable for any season. The built in Bluetooth works well with the surround sound system in the car. However, it is a heavy car and difficult to maneuver in rain and snow.

Lexi W on June 7, 2021

Perfect car for a new driver with the back up camera.

I love my car it has 5 seats it is got push start and air conditioning and heat and windows. It does not have a sunroof which I would like. The seat has a button to move the seat forward. It has a back up camera which I need. Has emergency break. I wish it had heated seats and heated steering wheel. It would be nice if there was also the king of cup holders that keep it cold. I am very grateful for my car I love it so much.

Amanda D on June 6, 2021

2015 Chrysler 200 vehicle review.

The vehicle is great, sometimes the tire pressure sensor acts up, mostly when it is cold. Vehicle drives smoothly, and gets fantastic mileage. Perfect vehicle for small family, lots of storage space and a large trunk. The large trunk makes it easy to take family trips.

Nate R on June 4, 2021

Fantastically convenient and powerful.

My 2015 Chrysler 200s is astonishingly convenient! With an almost all digital interface I can maneuver between the dozens of features that my car has to offer in seconds. This car is a strong v6 with an option for sport mode (not that it needs it). Mine is currently sitting at around 110,000 miles and rides just as smoothly as the day I got it. The gas mileage is not too bad I generally get about 24 miles to the gallon. Led headlights make night driving seamless. All led interior lights and a fully digital analog which allows you to switch between things like tire pressure, gas mileage (current and average), and of course the digital speedometer!

EB B on June 3, 2021

Great starter car very much recommend.

I really love it just at times I have an issue with the car being loud. It was never this loud before I am not sure how it got like that but maybe it is just getting old and times for a upgrade I supposed. Also I feel like it is taking more oil than it usually does but besides that great car.

Victoria B on May 20, 2021

Great daily driver for people. Who work a good distance away.

My Chrysler 200 has been a great car. I drive close to 50 miles a day to and from work the only problem I have had is my throttle body sensor has gone bad in the two years I have had it. I have also had to replace the battery and normal maintenance. I recently had problems with my throttle body again so I took it off and cleaned it and have not had problems since then.

Xavier F on May 18, 2021

My experience with my car.

Computer issues here and there. Great backup camera. Big screen. Nice sound system. Drives really smooth. Have to maintain a lot to keep it running smooth. Lots of compliments on the shape of the car. Great leg room. Safe car and reliable. Would recommend this car!

Crystal R on May 16, 2021

The car is not so bad and can be useful.

Every since I bought the car, I had to make too many repairs. There is a ton of recalls on the vehicle. It still runs good, just a lot of work out into the vehicle. There is a knob to switch gears. The radio needs to be updated, it has carplay. My husband says it has to many blind spots.

Jess H on May 16, 2021

I definitely love my Chrysler 200.

I have no issues with my car. It is extremely comfortable and a smooth ride. It is very spacious as well. The backup is extremely useful and the touch screen and menus are easy to navigate. The sound system is lovely and I love having the Bluetooth. The center console has a surprising amount of storage space as well.

Gwyneth M on May 15, 2021

My blue 2015 Chrysler 200 is an awesome car! It rides super smooth.

I love my car. It rides super smooth and drives awesome. I have had it for awhile and the car has had no issues! It is very reliable and very comfy. If you are looking for a car to have as your main car I definitely think this is a great choice. My car is also a blue beautiful color. It comes in many colors and many different styles. I personally have the limited!

Kayla C on May 13, 2021

Amazing setting that even some 2021 vehicles don't have!

My specific vehicle has heated and vented seat setting which is awsome depending on the season. In the cold winter times, I usually turn on my steering wheel warmer also! My car is remote start which I can do from inside my house to warm up the car before I even head outside. Its a sports addition so it's pretty fast but is also very smooth for you that just like to cruise.

Ally M on May 13, 2021

Gotta love your Chrysler 200.

We love the blue metallic color of this vehicle. It also has not given any problems since purchase. However, I find it very small and the seating is not quite comfortable for long drives. The back seat, although not frequently used is a very tight fit for a car seat and 2 persons. There is a lot of truck space, a huge plus for frequent travelers.

Caitlin B on May 12, 2021

Knob to shift instead of stick. Very pretty color.

My car is very reliable. The only issue that it has is that the sensor for the front driver’s side tire is broken. The knob for shifting was a bit difficult to get used to at first, but now a regular stick shift is weird. The seats are very comfortable, and the mileage per gallon is fairly decent.

Katherine S on May 11, 2021

Chrysler 200 is one of a kind.

I love the Chrysler 200 so much that it is actually my second time owning one. Due to financial hardship, I couldn’t keep it the first time. When I decided it was time to buy a car again, I test drove a few other types but still loved the 200 the most. I got it fully loaded this time around. Dual sunroof, AWD. I love the design features and the cream leather interior. My favorite is the speedometer and blue lighted dash along with the blue fog lights. The design is comparable to a 50k car.

Kaitlyn K on May 8, 2021

Big waste of metal and $16,000!

Circuits keep shorting out when it comes to the Bluetooth and the ac/defrost. If we want it warm it will only work with defrost and with we have Bluetooth connected it will switch randomly to radio 1000 times. Also there is no room for our babies car seat in the back and I am just ready to sell it.

Daniel A on May 7, 2021

My 2015 Chrysler 200 life.

My 2015 Chrysler 200 limited is the 2.4 l engine that has really good pickup power for a 4 cylinder engine. I have heard that there are quite a few transmission issues with these cars. But me personally, I haven't really had an issue like that, yet. My car is currently a little over 90k miles. I have only had to do some light service done to it here and there with regular oil changes. I know that these vehicles used are pretty affordable and given that the body style looks pretty cool.

Sam T on May 7, 2021

2015 Chrysler 200c review.

Known to have engine problems in year 2015 that have been corrected to best ability. Engine is naturally loud, allegedly too big for the vehicle, manufacturer error. But it's a nice car to drive if you're not a racer. It drives like a luxury vehicle they can go fast. Not a sport engine. That probably has to do with the trim as well.

Joe C on May 6, 2021

Love my Chrysler 200 limited.

It is been a very reliable vehicle and I have just had to do routine maintenance on it including a new battery and tires. There have been no major mechanical issues. It drives very smoothly and it has good pickup and go. It is very sporty looking and has good lines.

Teresa K on May 3, 2021

Chrysler 200 s - white, interior black and blue.

I had my Chrysler 200 for 4 years now and the battery died. That was the first time I had to replace something serious. Performance on the highway and in the city is fantastic and my gas mileage is pretty great considering I drive 60 miles a day for work. With the right tires it is very reliable in the inter. I have low profile tires since it is an s and I’d say the only issue I have with it is the rims stick out, so it is very easy to scratch rims.

Audrey C on May 3, 2021

The most comfortable car I have ever owned!

My 2015 chrysler has been a very reliable vehicle so far. It has not given me any trouble so far, and it has over 40,000 miles on it.I have found this to be the most comfortable car I have ever owned. Most cars many back very uncomfortable, but my chrysler 200 does not bother my back at all.

Kiersten N on April 28, 2021

My car is luxury, comfort, and safety all in one.

I love this car. It rides smooth, hugs the road, and feel nice to drive. It feel like luxury car and also has lots of space for arms and movement. Plus gas mileage is good and the speakers have great base. This car also has door handles that are the perfect size for French fry containers.

Britton L on April 23, 2021

Good car for price and value.

Great car, pretty nice interior and looks sporty, plenty of room and storage. Only problem is that they have had some transmission or electrical problems but for the most part the car has been great for me. The stock sound system is pretty good and cancels noise pretty well. Can get really good gas mileage on the highway if driven normal or on cruise control. In the 2000s, the seats are very nice and sporty with the blue accents which adds just a little more details that are nice to the eye.

Elvira R on April 21, 2021

I would have to say that the rotary gear selector is a game changer!

I have had my car for about 2+ years now and I would say it is pretty smooth. I love that it is push start and a rotary gear selector. The seats very comfortable and I honestly think it is the perfect for me. I do not feel comfortable driving in any other car but this one. It is a 2015 and I haven’t had any problems with it so far.

What to expect and overall quality of the Chrysler 200 model.

Car electrical shuts down when oil is at 50% or less, so oil changes on time are mandatory. The replacement parts are cheap and reasonable. The quality is good as far as gas price per miles, and style of the car. I would buy again knowing what to expect. Overall I’ll scope the car a 7 out of a10.

2015 Chrysler 200s- great daily driver.

I love the interior of the 2015 Chrysler 200s. Leather seats, easy to clean. The stock rims it came with are nice too. Reliable car, minor problems here and there, more because of wear. Affordable parts when they do end up going bad. Overall a good daily car!

Unsafe expensive lame and really unsafe.

Engine problems jumps gears no sunroof computer does not match the dashboard lights main issue is the gears really jump in the middle of driving safety issues it is unsafe yet expensive and low ratings on blue book I don't know what to do it is depressing.

My true blue Chrysler 200s!

My vehicle has a 6-cylinder engine and is extremely powerful. Handles beautifully, never had any system malfunction or part replacement, fully-loaded features, roomy, durable interior, GPS system, Sirius XM, very large trunk space. It is supremely reliable vehicle, never a hint of trouble starting up. I love it.

It is a great car for a single man or a family, reliable, safe and smooth.

Rides like a dream, very reliable, no major car maintenance, great on gas, only problem I have is that it takes a few seconds for the car to accelerate when going up a hill, or if I am behind a slow car and I have to accelerate past him it will take a few seconds to get the car going.

It is a very sporty, and classic model car.

Sporty, great gas mileage, fun to drive. I am a little disappointed that they do not make this model anymore because it is so classic! I love the commercial that Eminem made for the 200, that is what drew me in to this vehicle. It is a great value as well.

Great small family or starter car.

My Chrysler is by far my favorite car so far. I have had no problems aside from normal maintenance and wear and tear. It seats two car seats comfortably. The only thing I do not like is that it is all electronic and if the computer goes down, the entire dash does as well-radio, air control, even the electronic parking brake.

Josh B on April 3, 2021

Great vehicle for it is price.

Fully loaded with tons of features. Heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel, backup camera and tons more! Love the upgraded speaker package to get some extra boom when listening to music. I really wanted a 300 but were a little out of our budget range. Saw the 200 I have and after a test drive I changed my mind and wanted it!

NToshia J on April 1, 2021

Great and reliable small family car. Excellent on gas.

I have had my car for two years now and I have only had minor issues such as brakes and wheel bearings. Occasional transmission slips but nothing major. My brakes, rotors, and wheel bearings are the only thing I have had to change in the last 2 years. I love that I have a backup camera and great ac.

The baseball and football mom car.

It has great pick up. Rides smooth. I wish it had heated seats. I do not have a sunroof either, which I prefer. I am not crazy about the push start - I like a key. I have had no problems with the engine or anything. I do have the oil changed routinely.

2015 Chrysler 200c - Special Review!

My car drives very smoothly and the interior is nearly one of the kind (cream seats and sunroof) so it grabs attention to those who rides along. The car however, requires a lot of electricity and after driving from the dealership the battery lost power completely. Additionally, the tires gets air bubbles frequently, thus it is very hard to find replacement tires and have to get them ordered and shipped to my dealership.

Chrysler 200 reliability.

My 2015 Chrysler 200 works just as it should. It gets over 30 miles per gallon on the highway and well over 20 driving in-town. It has a knob as a shifter and automatic power windows. It does not take too long to warm up in the winter and for the air conditioning to cool down in the summer. I have had this vehicle almost one full year, put on almost 20k miles, and have had no problems yet.

Sara T on March 29, 2021

It is a nice reliable vehicle that I am blessed to have.

It is a used car, but it can be considered new. It only has about 110,000 miles. The interior is black and up to date. The seats are cloth and are very comfortable. Gas is expressed in bars. It also does really good on gas. It’ll always crank. The engine has a very nice sound to it. It is a low riding vehicle which a downfall where I am from, so I have to be careful. If something is wrong with anything, I'll get an alert on a screen in front of my wheel. It has enough space for my family.

Courtney J on March 27, 2021

Uses a lot gas on low roads. But it is good in highway miles. I can fill up and take a 3 hour trip and still have a little under a half a tank.

Gas goes quickly and works best with mid grade. I've used 87 and it started to act like it want to cut off. Smooth driving, and has a lot of space. I haven't had to do too much Maintenance to it do far.

Anthony R on March 26, 2021

My Chrysler 300 is beyond fast. It has a six cylinder.

I bought this car used. It's in great condition. The pros about this car is IRS beauty. No dents. The inside is clean. IRS fast. I did have to get new tires though. It cost a lot to get four new tires. I could of went the cheap route. I didn't want to have to buy more tires in a couple of months.

Jason K on March 26, 2021

This vehicle is very reliable. It gets great fuel mileage and rides very smooth.

I really like the radio and bluetooth capabilities. The seats are very comfortable. Love the gas mileage. I don't like the transmission

Alexis A on March 23, 2021

I love the features of my vehicle and how fun it is to drive.

I have not had any issues with my vehicle. I do love all the features in my car (heated seats, nav, Bluetooth, Uconnect, of many others) another perk is you can register the speed so that if you go over the speed (i.e.: 4 mph over) the car will notify you what the speed limit is on the road so that you will slow down. That helps with insurance:).

Whitnie S on March 23, 2021

Chrysler 200-not as bad as people say it is!

All things considered, it is a very reliable car. There are probably with the car switching gears, which is apparent when driving, as it stall or “jumps” into the next gear. Other than that, it is been fine for me! Decent mileage in city. Amazing on highway.

Debra W on March 23, 2021

Comfortable ride looks very stylish.

There is nothing I dislike about it. Is easy to drive and handles corners and curves very well.It is also very good on gas

Harley D on March 23, 2021

Dial shifter is pretty dang awesome.

It is a nice car. Very roomie (at least for two adults and a newborn). It is got a good speaker system and the touch screen radio which is nice. It is got a dial shifter which is really pretty cool and convenient. It also has quite a bit of trunk space (for a folded up stroller.).

Alice d on March 22, 2021

Light-colored leather is the only way to go in Sacramento!

Love the white leather interior with the dark red exterior; it's too hot in Sacramento to have a black interior! Love the backup camera! I couldn't live without it now. Sometimes I wish we'd paid more to get the navigation package, but it was ridiculously expensive. Our biggest complaint is that sometimes the car doesn't want to take off, and when it does, it kind of jerks forward. I believe there was a recall on this when the car was new, and it seemed better for a while, but I've noticed this several times lately. Love the roomy interior of the glove compartment, too.

Patty L on March 22, 2021

Chrysler 200 2015 car review.

The car drives well. Has good pick up. Very sporty looking and plenty of legroom. The seats are well made and comfortable. Plenty of headroom. Seats are adjustable which is great since I am short I can adjust it higher. I love the keyless entry and the push button start as well as the dial shifter. I use e85 gas and get pretty good gas mileage. I like that I can use regular gas too.
