Chrysler 300C Saloon (2005 - 2010) 5.7 V8 4d Auto (2007/56) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That you want a saloon car unlike the rest, with some individuality, character and performance, without having to pay silly prices for the German equivalent.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Without exception, everybody loves it. It's very comfortable and roomy yet shifts like a sports car.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Definitely, despite the small niggles.

What are you likely to buy next?

No idea. After driving this BMWs, Audis and Mercedes I've tried have all the gadgets and performance, but seem bland - the 300C just oozes character and attitude.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

March 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

No. Very little discount as the demand was high.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Very helpful.

What's it like to drive?

This car is really all about the 5.7L Hemi. It's a superb car to drive and handles beautifully. Every time you press the accelerator and feel that incredible surge of power you end up grinning like an idiot.

What's it like to park?

As it has front and rear parking sensors, easy!

Have you had any problems with the car?

Problem with transmission - changing up late. One window stopped working. Parking sensor stopped beeping. Electric sun roof wouldn't close completely causing wind-noise. All rectified on each service, but there always seems to be some small thing every service.

What's most practical about your car?

It's a roomy touring car for 4/5 adults which, despite the above, feels safe. Nice big boot and folding down rear seats.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Memory seats/mirrors/pedals/steering wheel/radio. If you have to share a car this is fantastic!
