Summary
What does this car say about you?
I'm different to the usual European saloon buyers.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Everyone seems to think I've won the lottery. On the day I bought it I was stopped at a petrol station by two groups of people who simply gazed at the car for 10 minutes talking about how serious it looks.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Without hesitation! It is an absolutely amazing vehicle and I never tire of the stares and nods I get from onlookers and people in other cars.
What are you likely to buy next?
Either a 2012 Chrysler 300C or the 6.1 SRT Hemi.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£7,995
When did you buy the car?
June 2013
Did you get a good deal and why?
Yes I got a great deal as it was the last 300C available in stock and I was able to secure it with a very small deposit.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
It looks absolutely sensational.
What was the dealer like?
Very friendly and courteous, bent over backwards to help me arrange finance on the car.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
An absolute dream! I'd go as far to say perfection on the road. The CRD engine has enough grunt to have you going well over the speed limit without even noticing as the ride is so smooth. I've driven S-Types, E-Classes, A8s and 7 Series and this more than equal to them with regards to ride, performance, comfort, gadgets but none of them have anywhere near as much presence on the road.
What's it like to park?
With rear parking sensors, tilting reverse mirrors and folding mirrors it's a breeze.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
So far it's been an absolute dream, only owed it a few weeks but have already driven over 500 miles in it and have nothing but good things to say.
What's most practical about your car?
Where do I begin... rear parking sensors, power folding mirrors and how the mirrors tilt downwards when the car's put in reverse gear.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
There are just way too many to choose from. Probably the memory seat upon exit and entry, always puts a smile on my face.
