2012 chrysler other - car review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Essentially a loaded chrysler 200 limited, the chrysler 200 s comes standard with the 3. 6-liter pentastar v6. The front-wheel-drive chrysler 200 competes with the ford fusion, chevrolet malibu, nissan altima, toyota camry, and possibly the lexus es and lincoln mkz. Midsize sedans comprise america's largest market segment for cars, with 1. 7 million units sold per year. The chrysler 200 has an old-school feel all its own that separates it from these other cars. the chrysler 200 replaced the much-maligned chrysler sebring. It uses the same platform as the sebring, but engineers changed and strengthened so many things (chassis, engine, transmissions, suspension, brakes, body, interior) that it was almost a new car. It's american, well-equipped and inexpensive. Popular options are bargain-priced, among them a cold weather package and media center with touchscreen and 30g music hard drive. the cabin is one of the quietest in the segment, thanks to new sound absorption materials, as well as an acoustic glass windshield, laminated side glass usually found in higher priced vehicles, and special engine mounting for the i4 engine. The instrument panel's gray-on-gray graphics are pleasing, and its white accent lighting is wonderful at night, with nice ambient cockpit lighting. underway, we were quite impressed by how smooth and solid the 200 feels. It's put together well. Low road noise means a lot, and the quiet michelin tires and new exhaust system help. Chrysler calls it autostick, a name they've been using for 15 years, because they invented it, and they remain true to its blissful simplicity. A 4-speed automatic comes on the base lx model. the 200 comes with chrysler's longstanding 5-year 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. lineupthe 2012 chrysler 200 lx 18,995) comes with the 2. 4-liter engine with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The 3. 6-liter v6 1,795) is optional and comes with an upgraded alternator, engine oil cooler, and dual exhaust with bright exhaust tips. chrysler 200 limited 24,070) upgrades to leather upholstery, heated front seats, upgraded interior trim, remote start, touch-screen display, compass, outside temperature reading, 430-watt sound system media center cd/dvd with 40-gig hard drive, ipod input, bluetooth, u-connect hands-free phone, fog lamps, 18-inch polished aluminum wheels. The v6 is optional 1,795). Navigation is optional 695) and comes with sirius real time traffic and sirius travel link. chrysler 200 s 26,365) comes standard with the 3. 6-liter v6 engine, boston acoustics sound system, leather, special front seats with suede inserts, heated front seats, perforated leather-wrapped steering wheel, 18-inch polished aluminum wheels with black trim, body color mirrors and door handles, and special trim: black-barred grille, headlights with black background, unique foglight bezels, and a black-inlayed winged chrysler badge. The chrysler 200 front air dam is clean: low, thin, and horizontal. Its halogen headlights appear small from head-on, but flow around the front corners into the bulging fenders, creating a line that widens to the rear of the car. It makes a statement that says, we're bold not fancy. The main thing about the 200 is that it's big, for a midsize car, and it's american (also that it's well-equipped and inexpensive). the rear deck lid looks chopped, with a chrome strip between led taillamps and another chrome bar between the exhaust outlets that widens the look of the car. It bears a wing logo in brushed metal and blue, replacing the old traditional wing logo, to signify the rebirth of chrysler. the chrysler 200 is not a car that gathers second looks, at least not for its beauty. The seats feel supportive and should be comfortable for long periods behind the wheel. rear legroom measures just 36. 2 inches, which is on the short side for a midsize car. The rear seat is split 60/40 and folds down for more cargo space, always appreciated. the instrument panel contains the usual three round gauges, with gray-on-gray graphics that are pleasing to the eye, while its white accent lighting is wonderful at night. The three-spoke steering wheel has a thick leather-wrapped rim and padded hub with controls for the sound system and cruise setting. Armrests are soft, and door pockets roomy. Some models have two usb ports, handy for phone and laptop charging. the cabin is one of the quietest in the segment, thanks to new sound absorption materials, as well as an acoustic glass windshield, laminated side glass usually found in higher priced vehicles, and new engine mounting for the 2. 4-liter engine. driving impressionthe standard powerplant for the chrysler 200 is the 173-horsepower, 2. 4-liter world engine that chrysler shares with mitsubishi and hyundai. With dual variable valve timing, the power is good at both low and high rpm, and its 166 foot-pounds of torque are sufficient for the demands of its owners. That's about what we got during a week of good seat time in the northwest. later, we drove a convertible with the top down on a hot summer day near se.
