Model Review

Chrysler is making a stab at replacing the aging Sebring with a new mid-size convertible. For 2011, they introduced the 200. It comes with two engines, a 2.4L 4-cylinder that makes 173 horsepower and 166 lb-feet of torque is standard on all 200s. It's efficient too--the EPA estimates it's capable of 29 mpg on the highway. A powerful 3.6L V6 is optional on all trims, and it makes 283 horsepower. There are two transmissions available--a 4-speed automatic is standard and a 6-speed automatic with Autostick manual control is available on the Limited trims.
