Chrysler 300C Saloon (2005 - 2010) 3.0 V6 CRD 4d Auto Owner Review

I bought it for its looks. Big, square, imposing, stately beast, as aerodynamic as a brick! A statement car that doesn't sacrifice character for the sake of fuel consumption. Not a "jelly mould" like many other marques. With a 3 litre turbo Mercedes diesel engine, it can really shift the 2 tonnes of metal when your foot goes down. It's a real head turner, but with substance, not just a facade. I paid £5000 for it when it was 12 years old with 47,000 miles on. Cheap as chips for such a beautiful piece of engineering. It's mint. I've put 10k on it in 12 months and enjoyed every mile. Leather interior, cruise control, heated memory seats, adjustable everything make it really comfortable to drive. Brilliant Boston sound system. Massive boot, loads of leg room in the front and back. I love this car, and so does everyone who travels in it. Always liked cars with character, I've owned an MG, Z3, Renault 25, Rover 75, Jaguar, and this fits the bill for me. Not needed much work yet, but parts are easy to get and surprisingly cheap. Research suggests that the suspension components wear out on these, but even that's only a few hundred quid DIY. I'm keeping this until the diesel pumps run dry and those electric toy jelly moulds take over the world.
