2015 Chrysler 200
I recently went on a trip to Knoxville, TN, about 1200 miles round trip including some local driving. The rental had the 2.4L Multiair engine. The car is very comfortable, albeit not as comfortable as the 2011 200 we own. I was impressed with the engine/transmission, it had good power on the hills and I had no problem accelerating up them when necessary. We also got 37 mpg overall, 90% interstate. We also got 42 mpg strictly on the highway. Although I will admit I was taking it pretty easy.
My better half liked all the gadgets; it was nice to be able to stream Pandora's Outlaw Country station through her phone. It took me a while to get used to the electronic parking brake, rotary shift knob and push-button start.
My single biggest gripe was the front seats. I'm not a huge guy, 5-10, 230, but the seats were not wide enough for my posterior. This wasn't obvious at first but after several hours' driving I became aware of it. Definitely had to take my wallet (about the size of a deck of cards) out to be comfortable.
Funny thing about TN, within the first day my wife started to pick up the accent, she sounds good as a southern belle.
