Sorry if this question has been asked, I Googled it and surprisingly cant find any discussion out in the lands of the internet.
Besides the obvious, cost and fuel economy, how does the 6-speed compare to the 4-speed?
My '05 Honda Accord is being totaled, so I'm currently car shopping. I'm having a hard time with some of the dealers I've dealt with over the last three days
A while ago I've driven a Chrysler 200 rental car, it was the LX I4 with the 4-speed automatic; really like the car except for the powertrain... felt lagging and a bit dogish. It wasn't terribly bad, but my 8-year old Honda's 2.5-liter / 5-speed was much appreciated when I came back home. Does the 6-speed feel more responsive and quicker with the 4-cylinder? Now that I'm carless, I'm asking for initial impressions about what you guys think of the car.
I know I know test drive, and I will but I've been getting the run-around and game playing with dealers. Hopefully I find a fair dealership in the next couple of days. Also, because of my budget I'm buying used, probably 4cylinder - the used 200s with 6-speed autos are overpriced in my are (imho), and there are a bootload of 4-speed autos (rental fleets sent to auction). I'm also considering the Avenger, but I'm honestly not sure how much of a difference the Avenger vs 200 is.
Plus, there where two TSB for the 6-speed automatic, so even if I test drive one what if it hasn't been flashed... it probably wouldn't leave me the best impression.
Yeah, so if you know of a 2012+ 200/Avenger with 6-speed (hopefully they feel more responsive than the 4-speed?) for $13/$14,000 let me know :runaway:
