I can only assume that the people who constantly trash the later model 300's have never actually owned one. I have owned a couple dozen cars in my life, but the 300 is my favorite by a wide margin. It has a serious road presence that few other automobiles can match. I love it so much that I drive the speed limit or below, just to get some extra driving time in before I arrive at my destination. The 300 has been a big success for Fiat-Chrysler Corporation, and I hope it sticks around for another decade. When mine starts to get old and worn, I will definitely trade it for another one.

That motor makes up for any interior or extra chrome pieces!!! Push the go peddle to the floor and that thing sounds mean and rockets down the road. Try it, you'll like it!!

For the past 50 years the Chrysler 300 has always been an American highway automobile. These cars have always been designed to to do an 800 mile day at 75 mph on American highways. There are not a lot of curves, and not a lot of hills, on the US interstate highway system. I'll never know why automotive writers insist on comparing these cars with little European ally drivers and Autobahn rockets.

I've found these cars to be one that I wasn't that excited to get into when I first picked it up (company lease). After a couple of weeks, though, it really started to grow on me. It is a car I could live with long term. Being that it is in the tail end of its design cycle the incentives are fairly generous. The street price is quite a bit below sticker.

Nathan mentioned this car would be much better with 310hp. I've got a 2013 with RWD. I slapped on a Cold Air Intake and the Diablosport 93 octane tune. Now, at about 315hp, I can verify that what Nathan said is spot-on. Let's hope Chrysler slaps DI on their Pentastar and soon. $45,000 is a lot to pay for a "C" trim AWD, but if you shop around you can get a new 300 for close to $25k. At that price, the criticisms levied against it in this review fade.

The design is getting a bit dated. When about every sedan has gone sleek and forward leaning -- even the Impala -- Chrysler is still playing it safe with its usual safe inside the box designs. Of course it has a smooth ride and a quiet engine. It looks like it belongs in a funeral procession so what do you think it's going to ride like?

Nobody sees Chrysler as a luxury brand. For $45K you could get an A4 or a 3 series. Yes they will be pretty base trim levels but I'd drive a 328i with just cub holders and a steering wheel before a chrysler 300.

Why does Chrysler seem to be associating themselves with luxury? They're nothing nice

@RobHeathers 10 жыл бұрын

Because they used to be and are trying to get back there. The late-90s starred Chrysler as the best American luxury interiors, but their performance wasn't there. Truthfully, they have a spotty record for luxury...something is always off-kilter. However, over the course of their brand's existence they are on the money typically 5-10 years before everyone else (meaning: Lincoln & Cadillac). Sadly, Americans don't look at American cars for something new or innovative. I still find Chrysler a damn good competitor against the other two American luxury brands.

@TomazHilton 10 жыл бұрын

Rob Heathers Chrysler was never a Luxury auto maker. they were always entry level luxury. offered say.... "Lincoln" luxury amenities for ""Mercury" prices. thats exactly what the 300 is today.. Which is due for a refresh in for 2015 Model year.

@MrVnick1 10 жыл бұрын

Rob Heathers I would not compare Chrysler to ANY luxury car brand (like Lincoln, Cadillac or even any foreign car brand) . I was at the Boston Auto Show last weekend, Chrysler did not at all please me. I noticed they are using cheap materials, they had a lack of styling, and features for the money. If i had to compare them to any car brand, I couldn't they are in there own world not putting any thought into what Americans (or anyone) would want. If they trying to get back to luxury aspect they got to step up there game and not their over-glorified commercials.

Well Mercedes has sold a Minivan before (R-Class) and a Mini MPV A-class (Euro only). a Luxury automaker isnt defined by what type of vehicles it makes. its all about how its made.. Heck Luxury SUVs didnt become a Luxury unill the Range Rover was built years after Jeep made the Grand Wagoner.

@tscott7483 9 жыл бұрын

boltar2003 I read your original comment, and it made me actually want to do some research...if you go to axlegeeks.com, you can compare this for yourself...but several modern DOHC V6 motors from Europe and Japan make about that same amount of torque or less. 3.5L V6 in the Camry - 248 lb.ft 3.5L V6 in the Altima - 251 lb. ft 3.6L V6 in the Passat - 258 lb. ft 3.5L V6 in the Accord - 252 lb.ft Only when you start looking at luxury brands (MB, Lexus, et.al) does the torque number start going up, and those models require premium fuel to make their slightly higher torque number (usually in the 270 lb.ft range). So, does Detroit toss prehistoric junk over the fence? Not according to the numbers.
