Anyone here have a Chrysler 200?

My Mom wants to trade in her minivan on a car that looks like this one:



Are they good cars?

1. The '15 model looks amazing and has received extremely high ratings:

I'm planning to get one for my next car.

2. Its too stylish for me... I like boring. I know it's weird.

5. I don't want to own a car that thieves want to steal

So unstylish is perfect for me! I left my keys in my old Suburban for ten years and no one would steal it. I had to crack the block to justify getting a different truck.

I tend to buy five year old used vehicles. They're well broken in, depreciated down to an affordable level, and still work fine. Then I drive my vehicles to death.

4. We rented one twice for long trips and just loved it.

What's amazing is that we got the same exact vehicle both rental times. It was within a two-week period though, so maybe it wasn't that amazing, but I got a chuckle out of it. I had the paperwork from the previous rental in my hand and saw the license plate when picking a vehicle, so we just had to rent it again. Anyway, we rented it to go to Las Vegas and then two weeks later we went to Monterey, CA, leaving both times from Southern California.

It was a very comfortable ride, good acceleration and felt very safe and stable and it was a decent size without being overly huge. Excellent trunk space. The only thing that I can remember is something about the headlights not coming on around dusk (something like that).

A couple years ago, we rented a Mazda 6 which we also liked. That one we drove all around the Pacific Northwest, from Portland to Seattle and back to Portland. Loved that, too. Among the other rentals we've had (Taurus?, Impala, the full size cars like that), the Chrysler 200 and the Mazda 6 stuck out for me as being something I could drive every day. And that's saying something for an American car because I usually go for the European sedans for longetivity, etc.

I would definitely give the Chrysler 200 a serious look as a future vehicle when the time comes!

Thanks for the info, I hope my Mom likes the car.
