TCC’s Bottom Line

The Chrysler 200 offers lots of comfort and value, but looks outdated and lacks refinement.

The 2014 Ford Mustang delivers some of the best performance-car bang for the buck, all with a level of sophistication that's surprising given the brash sound and classic looks.

TCC Likes

Cockpit is nicely detailed
V-6 engine is strong
Ride is quiet

Well-balanced, quick V-6 models
Stunning V-8 power
Retro look, modern details

TCC Dislikes

Four-cylinder, four-speed--for real?
Gas mileage isn't great
No standard Bluetooth

Snug back seat
Unimpressive interior finishes
No telescoping steering wheel
