Is a 2015 Chrysler 200 a good car?

Is the 2015 Chrysler 200 a Good Used Car? The 200 rates poorly for reliability, and its nine-speed transmission is unrefined. Its cabin isn't all that spacious for a midsize sedan either. There are far better options in this segment, including the top-rated 2015 Toyota Camry and 2015 Chevrolet Malibu.
