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)
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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 !!
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.
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 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'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'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.
@@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 😂😂😂
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 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.
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 “😇
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.
I have 2012 200 touring.. got it used may 2020 at 165000km.. I now have it at 191,500km.. I have changed both front and rear break pad and rotors, thermo housing, both sway bar links, right rear upper control arm , both right rear toe links.. Next thing I’m going to do is fix the front right cv boot.. Honestly I love my car ..
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 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
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!
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
The car looked great. We bought it in 2016 with 40,000 miles and 1 owner. We returned it in 2018 because not even 5 months after the car would turn off by itself. Came to find out there was an oil leak but no oil was leaking. Brought it to the dealership and they didnt want to check it because it was fine. Then the dashboard and center console turned off meaning no music settings or AC in Florida. Ended putting more money on it than what we paid monthly on top of putting oil every 2 weeks because the oil would disappear. No bueno. Now we are in debt and with no car
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.
heyrod59 listen dumb ass I work with cars. Chrysler doesn’t make reliable cars. Dumb fucks just buy them because they’re American made or they look nice. Nothing good about Chrysler, I am a dodge fan addicted to Hemi power but even I know these cars don’t last long at all
GiJokester 69 I mean I got a chrysler town and country motor with like 350 to 400k. Rebuilt tho no major issues had it for about 14 years lol Chrysler ain’t bad
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.
I have a 2014 Chrysler LX , entry level sedan. Going strong at 230k miles. I’ve driven that car everywhere in California, except up north, Vegas and Utah. I’ve had no real major problems until the 200k mile range. Overheating problem resulted in a new radiator, radiator housing and hoses, water pump, gasket, thermostat. Now the check engine light is on and it says it has a problem with the cam shaft / crank shaft/ timing chain. The car still runs good and strong. I also have a 2015 Chrysler 200 C AWD. It’s a fast cad. No modifications. The only issue was overheating which resulted in a new radiator and new radiator hoses and clamps. Might need to change the thermostat since the temperature likes to crawl up to almost 3/4 in standstill traffic / freeway traffic. Other than that, it’s a smooth and fast ride. Going strong at 143k miles.
I have a 2011 200. 160k miles. I've had to replace a couple of throttle bodies, only because they are cheaply made. Other than that, it's been a great car.
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 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.
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.
@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
In my opinion FCA's biggest mistake about thinking a platform is more important than the design. The 2011 Chrysler 200 was an ugly duckling for my eyes. The 2014 model has a very European but appealing design - but FCA didn't even offer this car in Europe. The same about the Dodge Dart that looks more like a bigger Fiat model for that time. So of course the sales are not too high if they are trying to sell an European design made in the USA to North America. So on the other side the Dodge Avenger was sold in Europe but not with too many sales ... Different markets, different taste of cars. While the 2011 Chrysler 200 was sold in Europe (from 2012-2014 as Lancia Fluvia until FCA even decided to let the Lancia brand die - Lancia was also selling the Grand Voyager and the Chrysler 300C with a Lancia badge - but e.g. in Germany there were less Lancia dealerships than Chrylser/Jeep dealerships - of course this will result in low sales). Rebadging is not the solution to sell a car in another market better. The car must appeal to the customers eyes, being in good reliable quality and also you need to have a good dealership network. Only two years for this beautiful car ... that's a shame! I hope Fiat won't be the killer of these iconic American brands Dodge & Chrysler. It seems like they also can't bring something new. Without the Mercedes based muscles it's looking like re-badged Euro cars for the US market ... like the new Dodge Neon - it's only a re-badged Fiat Aegea from Turkey but also produced in Mexico. It will fail with the big sales in Northern America like it was about the Dart - they should have kept the Avenger in the USA and selling the Dart as Fiat in Europe but they did it just the opposite way. PS: Blame my bad grammar on being from Germany :D
They always made bad decisions, they should let Chrysler sell cars in Europe and keep similar format like in the US as well as Dodge in Europe, revive Plymouth as well. The same goes for GM with their market, only American company that worked was Ford and now Tesla has spread to Europe, honestly Chrysler and GM need new management team that know things and such instead of jumping on whats trending, similar to all those game companies jumping onto something that is popular like Battle Royales and such, so yeah
@@BFDdrives Yeah, they are mostly jumping on whats trendy, Chrysler and GM are like Activision and EA, so detatched from their fanbase and only make SUV's and crossovers because it is cheaply done and it is trendy instead of trying to make better looking cars, but once that trend dies they will be stuck with no option to revert back to what they do or go out of business, I think Chrysler should of stuck to what made them work with all the K-cars in the 80's because they seem to work instead of trying to go European ot Japanese because all of their customers are opting for them, they do not realize or see that why most of their customers going to them because they are cheap, reliable and run well as well as look very apealing then what Chrysler made, if they stop trying to compete with all the foreign compettitors and start focusing in making their vehicles better and appealling as well as more reliable they wouldn't be in the mess they are, also Ford will go all SUV and Crossovers now, seems like American car companies all lost touch of that they are or whats going to the point of cheaping out and going whats trendy, that what I think and I think they all need a bit of reality check and such, the same with the gaming industry as well, so yeah
All I remember was this really massive ad campaign in 2015 for this car all over tv and TH-cam and then like a day later it was gone… I was like what 🤯
In 2018, I was a broke college student, I needed a car to get me through the last two years of college as I lived far from the school so I bought a used, hail damaged 2015 200c. It got me through college, I graduated then pandemic hit, then I started ridesharing and delivery gigs with it until I got a decent job. As we speak, I just bought a new dodge charger and its a bad ass car but ill keep my hail damaged baby 200 as everything still working great and its one of the most reliable and comfortable cars I ever had!
177K miles on my 2.4L and still going strong. Only thing I replaced was struts but I live on dirt bumpy roads. I redid the front hub due to tire rotation at a Discount Tire wouldn’t accept the fault. Other than that. Good mileage the 9speed takes lil getting use to and after 70mph it revs way down.
i was thinking of buying the 2017 until i read about the transmission and the discontinuation of the car. literally filled out the paperwork yesterday for it but didn't send money. it's such a beautiful car too. you had problems with yours a lot? and the car i was gonna buy only had 46k miles on it for 16.3k
@@fancyjoe7474 I’ve read about this car on the guardian. According to the informations provided there this car is very dangerous as there are problems with transmission and shifting to neutral, speeding on it own … ehh
@@shazzshank6393 yeah man I've read about those reviews as well on multiple websites it has an overall score of 4/5 I believe. So far no problems wish me luck 🙏😅
While visiting Canada in 2012 I was given the 200 with the V8 to tool around the island for nearly a week. It was loaded to the max and the smoothest quietest ride even when stomping the pedal in awe of its quick response. I put nearly a thousand miles on this baby and it broke my heart to return it at the end of my visit. I go through cars ACK!! And I have NEVER had such a fine handling sedan. If I bring someone along, it's front seat. I could not care at all about the bad headroom for adults. I wish I had purchased one but I had a 2010 Jeep Wrangler to love lolol
I wonder what could have been if they made it "300 in miniature" than this beautiful, fluid, yet somewhat me-too look...would it be enough to keep 200 afloat?
300 styling looks work well with large car. With mid-size sedan it would look awkward. 200 has best possible looks for reasonably priced mid-size sedan from 2014
The 200 and Dart (and related Guilietta and Neon) were absolutely profitable, but Jeep and RAM were much more profitable and FCA wasn't willing to invest in more manufacturing capacity to make more Compasses and Cherokees while keeping the 200 around.
I own and have been drivit 2015 200 LX. Touch the wood, it never gave me any problems for the last 6 years, and driven almost 90000km on it. Replaced head light bulbs and battery only recently. I like the car and it's a shame the consumers didn't get to know the vehicle well enough.
@@Tray-sq2zr I'm at 90k on a 2014 3.6 Limited, only real issue was my oil cooler. The seal got brittle and cracked.(causes pretty serious oil leak when running) Dealer mechanics said it's a common issue with the vehicle and replaced it under warranty without question.
@@Tray-sq2zr Ya it's really smooth and pretty quick with the 3.6L engine. Nothing crazy fast, but it'll surprise me now and then. Oil changes are really easy too, i like the easy access to the oil filter, it's on top of the engine. Nothing complicated when it comes to brake jobs. But the headlights are like $30 a piece and are a bitch to replace. You have to take the wheel well cover off for access to the headlight assembly. Everything seems pretty well put together from what i can tell.
Mw Tray yup coolant and oil leak over a year ago and today a brake fluid leak. Nothing major at all or nothing that left me stranded. Just the hoses I see are pretty cheap. As they are in most cars I hear. Heat and cold where I live and I drive this car very very very very hard. lol (v6). And the engine heat as well makes the rubber crack. And I had a tick at 99k miles. They had to replace something under warranty and of corse everything else was also covered. But keep in mind reaching 120 3 times a week in a car isn’t really ideal so it’s been good for the abuse I put on it.
@@Tray-sq2zr Ya a few older guys at the forklift dealership i work at said the same about reliability. Chrysler did have a phase where they were outsourcing too much and started to make crap cars. They seem to have learned from their mistakes with the newer ones. I agree with Nate, nothing that has left me stranded. Just small things here and there that could have been avoided with the recommended preventive maintenance.
I had a 2016 Chrysler 200 that I loved until someone decided to total it, and then upgraded to a 2017 Chrysler 200 limited platinum, loved both of them, never had any issues with them, and used to Uber in the 16 model, great gas mileage and fairly roomy too, they were one of the most underappreciated cars!
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
I had 2015 Chrysler 200C 3.6L bought it used in 2017 still had original warranty. In 18 month it was in the dealership 5 times for warranty service. they could never find the coolant smell and fluctuating temp gauge. I called FCA and requested a lemon buyback and they agreed to it. Got all my payment for 18 months back.
I disagree. The 200 was a class leader in many aspects. Performance? You got a 295 hp Pentastar V6. People keep saying the base engine was severely underpowered, but it was just right for the segment. Style? Looked better than the Sonata, Accord, and Camry, in my opinion. Quality? The 200 is reliable (I personally own a 2016 200 and the 9 speed trans has never given me any issues over the 98,000 miles I've driven it) and had a class-leading interior. Chrysler did something very unusual for their history: They made a great car that was able to compete with class leaders. The 200 was a great car. It should have never been discontinued.
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.
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.
My S.O. got a used 2013 Chrysler 200 V6 about 5 years back. Before she bought it I wouldn't have given a Chrysler the time of day, but it's been surprisingly decent. I'd say its biggest issues are that the 6 speed automatic transmission has trouble finding gear sometimes (though it thankfully has a manual override) and the electronic throttle has terrible rubber banding. It certainly could've been a more powerful car if Chrysler got these things right. Otherwise it has a decent quality interior, makes good enough power for fun highway pulls, has been surprisingly reliable, and is honestly a bit underrated (bordering on sleeper if someone could figure out how to tune that throttle response) in my opinion.
I really liked the 200, it was good in every way to me I picked up a used 2016 200s awd with low miles for dirt cheap and enjoyed it for the 3 years I had it and had zero problems, but I got out of it before anything could go wrong. Shane it didnt get a chance to go on cause I felt it could have succeeded and we probably would have seen a new version by now
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...
i really like the 200 BUT.. chrysler has a very bad reputation regarding reliability. and that was the only reason why i didn't buy one . too bad because every time i saw one on dealer lot . it attract me to look at it .. but no confidence
my grandma used to own a 2015 white chrysler 200, she bought it brand new, she told me that it randomly turned off while on the highway so she traded it in for a 2017 chevy malibu
I agree man. I love my 200 s. Such a great care. People are always shocked at the power when they ride with me and I usually dont push it, just merging and stuff.
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

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.

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.
does it have transmission issue?
It's too bad cause the second generation was a beautiful car that sold fairly well (despite their flaws)
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 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
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 = 💩
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.
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 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 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.
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 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'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'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 😂😂😂
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 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.
I have 2011 Chrysler 200 v6 & I like it a lot. No problems so far.
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.
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.
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?
It would have been fun to see a 300 themed 200, a Charger themed avenger, and a neon themed dart.
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 have 2012 200 touring.. got it used may 2020 at 165000km.. I now have it at 191,500km.. I have changed both front and rear break pad and rotors, thermo housing, both sway bar links, right rear upper control arm , both right rear toe links.. Next thing I’m going to do is fix the front right cv boot.. Honestly I love my car ..
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.
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 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 Can't Lie I Liked This Car Not The Convertible But The Sedan Was A Nice Looking Vehicle
Very well done. I can tell a lot of time and research was put into this video.
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'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 :(.
Back seat entry is big flaw. My 2015 200S is great. It will be my last car. 94,000 and still going strong.
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 have a 2013 200s and its clean af.
Like every car you need to maintenance your car and prevent from going bad.
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!
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
The car looked great. We bought it in 2016 with 40,000 miles and 1 owner. We returned it in 2018 because not even 5 months after the car would turn off by itself. Came to find out there was an oil leak but no oil was leaking. Brought it to the dealership and they didnt want to check it because it was fine. Then the dashboard and center console turned off meaning no music settings or AC in Florida. Ended putting more money on it than what we paid monthly on top of putting oil every 2 weeks because the oil would disappear. No bueno. Now we are in debt and with no car
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 ?
The 200 was a good looking car but we all know Chrysler doesn’t give out reliable cars
The K cars were rather reliable, and you still see them today......
heyrod59 listen dumb ass I work with cars. Chrysler doesn’t make reliable cars. Dumb fucks just buy them because they’re American made or they look nice. Nothing good about Chrysler, I am a dodge fan addicted to Hemi power but even I know these cars don’t last long at all
GiJokester 69 I mean I got a chrysler town and country motor with like 350 to 400k. Rebuilt tho no major issues had it for about 14 years lol Chrysler ain’t bad
Cole Moran post a video of it on your channel
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.
I Own a 2012 200 6speed/2.4 166k runs smoothly.
I got a 2013 Chrysler 200 and I love it
I have a 2014 Chrysler LX , entry level sedan. Going strong at 230k miles. I’ve driven that car everywhere in California, except up north, Vegas and Utah. I’ve had no real major problems until the 200k mile range. Overheating problem resulted in a new radiator, radiator housing and hoses, water pump, gasket, thermostat. Now the check engine light is on and it says it has a problem with the cam shaft / crank shaft/ timing chain. The car still runs good and strong.
I also have a 2015 Chrysler 200 C AWD. It’s a fast cad. No modifications. The only issue was overheating which resulted in a new radiator and new radiator hoses and clamps. Might need to change the thermostat since the temperature likes to crawl up to almost 3/4 in standstill traffic / freeway traffic. Other than that, it’s a smooth and fast ride. Going strong at 143k miles.
all of the S models look damn good
I have a 2011 200. 160k miles. I've had to replace a couple of throttle bodies, only because they are cheaply made. Other than that, it's been a great car.
I had the 2013 limited fully loaded with 3.6 penastar... thing was surprisingly fast
i still remember the eminem commercial in the superbowl. I was hyped for the american auto industry again
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 have a 2015 Chrysler 200 lol Good info. I had a Dodge Dart as well 😂 Guess I’m really bad at picking cars.

Probably the quietest, one of the smoothest ride I’ve ever had.
I did not know the 200 was supposed to be electric. Awesome video!
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.
I'm purchasing a 2017 200 ..this video makes me a little nervous..but thanks for the good comments...dealer told me it was a good car!😊
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
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. 😀
In my opinion FCA's biggest mistake about thinking a platform is more important than the design. The 2011 Chrysler 200 was an ugly duckling for my eyes. The 2014 model has a very European but appealing design - but FCA didn't even offer this car in Europe. The same about the Dodge Dart that looks more like a bigger Fiat model for that time. So of course the sales are not too high if they are trying to sell an European design made in the USA to North America. So on the other side the Dodge Avenger was sold in Europe but not with too many sales ... Different markets, different taste of cars. While the 2011 Chrysler 200 was sold in Europe (from 2012-2014 as Lancia Fluvia until FCA even decided to let the Lancia brand die - Lancia was also selling the Grand Voyager and the Chrysler 300C with a Lancia badge - but e.g. in Germany there were less Lancia dealerships than Chrylser/Jeep dealerships - of course this will result in low sales). Rebadging is not the solution to sell a car in another market better. The car must appeal to the customers eyes, being in good reliable quality and also you need to have a good dealership network. Only two years for this beautiful car ... that's a shame! I hope Fiat won't be the killer of these iconic American brands Dodge & Chrysler. It seems like they also can't bring something new. Without the Mercedes based muscles it's looking like re-badged Euro cars for the US market ... like the new Dodge Neon - it's only a re-badged Fiat Aegea from Turkey but also produced in Mexico. It will fail with the big sales in Northern America like it was about the Dart - they should have kept the Avenger in the USA and selling the Dart as Fiat in Europe but they did it just the opposite way.
PS: Blame my bad grammar on being from Germany :D
They always made bad decisions, they should let Chrysler sell cars in Europe and keep similar format like in the US as well as Dodge in Europe, revive Plymouth as well.
The same goes for GM with their market, only American company that worked was Ford and now Tesla has spread to Europe, honestly Chrysler and GM need new management team that know things and such instead of jumping on whats trending, similar to all those game companies jumping onto something that is popular like Battle Royales and such, so yeah
@@bradwhite5884 Totally agreeing with you - even about the game companies.
@@BFDdrives Yeah, they are mostly jumping on whats trendy, Chrysler and GM are like Activision and EA, so detatched from their fanbase and only make SUV's and crossovers because it is cheaply done and it is trendy instead of trying to make better looking cars, but once that trend dies they will be stuck with no option to revert back to what they do or go out of business, I think Chrysler should of stuck to what made them work with all the K-cars in the 80's because they seem to work instead of trying to go European ot Japanese because all of their customers are opting for them, they do not realize or see that why most of their customers going to them because they are cheap, reliable and run well as well as look very apealing then what Chrysler made, if they stop trying to compete with all the foreign compettitors and start focusing in making their vehicles better and appealling as well as more reliable they wouldn't be in the mess they are, also Ford will go all SUV and Crossovers now, seems like American car companies all lost touch of that they are or whats going to the point of cheaping out and going whats trendy, that what I think and I think they all need a bit of reality check and such, the same with the gaming industry as well, so yeah

Michael Silkwood I have a 2011 lx and this couldn’t be more true
Didn't realize how insanely fast the 2nd gen was.
Close to a 13 sec. 1/4 car. I had one and the 9 spd kept the engine in power band very well.
177K miles on my 2.4L and still going strong. Only thing I replaced was struts but I live on dirt bumpy roads. I redid the front hub due to tire rotation at a Discount Tire wouldn’t accept the fault. Other than that. Good mileage the 9speed takes lil getting use to and after 70mph it revs way down.
Had 295000 on mine still running strong when my kid crashed it. Wonder how far it would’ve run.
The air blend actuators, the battery, and the belt and tensioners are a nightmare to replace!

While visiting Canada in 2012 I was given the 200 with the V8 to tool around the island for nearly a week. It was loaded to the max and the smoothest quietest ride even when stomping the pedal in awe of its quick response. I put nearly a thousand miles on this baby and it broke my heart to return it at the end of my visit. I go through cars ACK!! And I have NEVER had such a fine handling sedan. If I bring someone along, it's front seat. I could not care at all about the bad headroom for adults. I wish I had purchased one but I had a 2010 Jeep Wrangler to love lolol
The 200 never had a V8
Don’t know what you’re talking about, never had a v8.
I wonder what could have been if they made it "300 in miniature" than this beautiful, fluid, yet somewhat me-too look...would it be enough to keep 200 afloat?
300 styling looks work well with large car. With mid-size sedan it would look awkward. 200 has best possible looks for reasonably priced mid-size sedan from 2014
The 200 and Dart (and related Guilietta and Neon) were absolutely profitable, but Jeep and RAM were much more profitable and FCA wasn't willing to invest in more manufacturing capacity to make more Compasses and Cherokees while keeping the 200 around.
I own and have been drivit 2015 200 LX. Touch the wood, it never gave me any problems for the last 6 years, and driven almost 90000km on it. Replaced head light bulbs and battery only recently. I like the car and it's a shame the consumers didn't get to know the vehicle well enough.
I always though these cars look cool, I'd never own one though.
I do and love it. 109 k miles
@@Tray-sq2zr I'm at 90k on a 2014 3.6 Limited, only real issue was my oil cooler. The seal got brittle and cracked.(causes pretty serious oil leak when running) Dealer mechanics said it's a common issue with the vehicle and replaced it under warranty without question.
@@Tray-sq2zr Ya it's really smooth and pretty quick with the 3.6L engine. Nothing crazy fast, but it'll surprise me now and then. Oil changes are really easy too, i like the easy access to the oil filter, it's on top of the engine. Nothing complicated when it comes to brake jobs. But the headlights are like $30 a piece and are a bitch to replace. You have to take the wheel well cover off for access to the headlight assembly. Everything seems pretty well put together from what i can tell.
Mw Tray yup coolant and oil leak over a year ago and today a brake fluid leak. Nothing major at all or nothing that left me stranded. Just the hoses I see are pretty cheap. As they are in most cars I hear. Heat and cold where I live and I drive this car very very very very hard. lol (v6). And the engine heat as well makes the rubber crack. And I had a tick at 99k miles. They had to replace something under warranty and of corse everything else was also covered. But keep in mind reaching 120 3 times a week in a car isn’t really ideal so it’s been good for the abuse I put on it.
@@Tray-sq2zr Ya a few older guys at the forklift dealership i work at said the same about reliability. Chrysler did have a phase where they were outsourcing too much and started to make crap cars. They seem to have learned from their mistakes with the newer ones. I agree with Nate, nothing that has left me stranded. Just small things here and there that could have been avoided with the recommended preventive maintenance.
I had a 2016 Chrysler 200 that I loved until someone decided to total it, and then upgraded to a 2017 Chrysler 200 limited platinum, loved both of them, never had any issues with them, and used to Uber in the 16 model, great gas mileage and fairly roomy too, they were one of the most underappreciated cars!
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
I had 2015 Chrysler 200C 3.6L bought it used in 2017 still had original warranty. In 18 month it was in the dealership 5 times for warranty service. they could never find the coolant smell and fluctuating temp gauge. I called FCA and requested a lemon buyback and they agreed to it. Got all my payment for 18 months back.
I disagree. The 200 was a class leader in many aspects. Performance? You got a 295 hp Pentastar V6. People keep saying the base engine was severely underpowered, but it was just right for the segment. Style? Looked better than the Sonata, Accord, and Camry, in my opinion. Quality? The 200 is reliable (I personally own a 2016 200 and the 9 speed trans has never given me any issues over the 98,000 miles I've driven it) and had a class-leading interior. Chrysler did something very unusual for their history: They made a great car that was able to compete with class leaders. The 200 was a great car. It should have never been discontinued.
Omg I've been waiting for this video!!
You forgot then Optima... who smashed the competition.
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.
2.4 engine and vehicle platform are both Fiat.
I got a 2015 Chrysler 200, I love it
Would you one on the LHS
It would be cool if you did these videos on all cars and not just FCA products.
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.
I have a 2015 200s with the V6 and AWD. I love it! Hasn’t given me any major issues. I’m at 90k now, hoping to get at least another 100k from it.
My S.O. got a used 2013 Chrysler 200 V6 about 5 years back. Before she bought it I wouldn't have given a Chrysler the time of day, but it's been surprisingly decent. I'd say its biggest issues are that the 6 speed automatic transmission has trouble finding gear sometimes (though it thankfully has a manual override) and the electronic throttle has terrible rubber banding. It certainly could've been a more powerful car if Chrysler got these things right.
Otherwise it has a decent quality interior, makes good enough power for fun highway pulls, has been surprisingly reliable, and is honestly a bit underrated (bordering on sleeper if someone could figure out how to tune that throttle response) in my opinion.
I say bring it back and drop a hemi in it 😂
I've had my 2013 for less then a year. 64k miles and a new issue every 30 days. Nothing but a problem:(
Chrysler seriously needs to expand more on it's models. Maybe bring back Plymouth and DeSoto and Eagle.
The Chrysler 200 C is perfect for a little girl's first car...I love mine💕
I really liked the 200, it was good in every way to me I picked up a used 2016 200s awd with low miles for dirt cheap and enjoyed it for the 3 years I had it and had zero problems, but I got out of it before anything could go wrong. Shane it didnt get a chance to go on cause I felt it could have succeeded and we probably would have seen a new version by now
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...
i really like the 200 BUT.. chrysler has a very bad reputation regarding reliability. and that was the only reason why i didn't buy one . too bad because every time i saw one on dealer lot . it attract me to look at it .. but no confidence
Your wrong . Just buy the 14 or newer .
my grandma used to own a 2015 white chrysler 200, she bought it brand new, she told me that it randomly turned off while on the highway so she traded it in for a 2017 chevy malibu
I love my chrysler 200s very underrated car and be giving most N/A v6 the gap 🤣 aven some v8 👀
I agree man. I love my 200 s. Such a great care. People are always shocked at the power when they ride with me and I usually dont push it, just merging and stuff.
Ugh that 9 speed though in the 2nd gen was baaad, a Accord V6 always always faster tho
Clous von no it’s not. What v6 accord ? Lmaooo u mean the 2.0 ? No
@@Natethegreat200c v6 accord is a 3.2 lmao not a 2.0
The last model was so nice looking! Shame :(
I love the last 200. I think the Italian design is the most sexy car in this class. It;s going to be a time-less design. We shall see.
God no, just a watered down Hyundai
