2014 Chrysler 200 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Chrysler 200 shares its basic structure with the compact Dodge Dart. This basis is most evident in the back seat, where legroom is decent but hiproom is considerably tighter than in most midsize sedans. Thanks to the stylish roof line, rear headroom is also in short supply. The Fusion's rear seat isn't nearly the roomiest in the class, but it is roomier and more comfortable than the Chrysler's. If you need a truly roomy rear seat and all-wheel-drive in a somewhat affordable midsize sedan, buy the Legacy. see full Chrysler 200 review |

I was amazed at how small the back seat is in this car. Really no bigger than a compact sedan, eg Civic or Corolla. I can't fit my 3 kids (in car seats) back there, and feel bad when co-workers pile in to go to lunch. Surprisingly small for a vehicle this size, and marketed as a "family car." If you plan to put adults or 3 kids back there regularly, look at the '10 or newer (or at something else -- the rear seat in my co-worker's Accord is far bigger and more comfortable). see full Subaru Outback review |
