Sucks they stop producing SRT trim for 300. I like the luxury feel of the 300 but at the same time I want the performance that comes with its powerful HEMI engine. I know they still have the less potent HEMI but there's nothing like having a powerful V8 engine. Makes it kind of a sleeper car for people who doesn't even know about the engine behind the hood.
And the new 8 speed was gonna be avaliable with it if they kept on going. Im sure more sales wouldve happened to the 300 with the 392 hemi plus the 8 speed with the edition of the hellcat engine
Thank u mr alex ur channel is my favourite on youtube for car reviews plus u talk about everything in the car like material quality which many people don't talk about it.
I was excited to see this review. White is my favorite color of the SRT8. That was absolutely full of information with a flawless presentation. Thanks, Alex.
He advertises this car well, and let's you know that this one is perfected for anyone who has a criminal mind or relying simply on thuggish ways or on future unlawful intentions. Basically a getaway car.
Great review. I have owned a 2012 for 24K. 22 on the 245 all seasons. Got a 4.7 0 to 60 12.7 112mph. The couple few times I tried was with worn tires. Tires hold it back. I put a 10" rim in back with a 275/40 Conti DR 300 AA A series rubber that feels like it should be in the soft end of a pencil, and brother does this car hook up. Can't wait to take it to the track. A 275 will work in back and front. I run a stock tire size on a 9" rim in front, rims obviously staggered. Grey Viper reproductions. I agree it is a "Jekyll/Hyde" or as Auto week called it "a gorilla in a tuxedo."
The reliability of the chrysler is not actually bad... i have a friend who has a Chrysler 300 and he has for few years and has not had any problems at all. It still works..
Well, I have a 2007 Chrysler 300 Touring with over 200k miles on the odometer. I have not experienced any out of the ordinary problems - but I have serviced it according to Chryslers service spec.s The 300 are often bashed for its Fisher Price interior - this may or may not be right - the upside is that even after 6 years of daily use it still looks good and not woen - it's also very easy to clean and you can use strong cleaning products if need be !
The tall hood (and firewall, beltline and deck) is because of the tall control arm suspension. But as you'll see on the new Maserati Ghibli they're switching over to a lower mounted double wishbone set-up for next generation. Challenger will be getting it first for 2015, expect a lower (but still fairly tall) beltline but better handing and less weight (400lbs~ less) in the future on this and the Charger.
One of the last is an appropriate line IMHO. The Chevy SS and ATS-V didn't exist when this video was shot, the Charger is the essentially the same car. The Taurus SHO is a FWD baised AWD car whish isn't a "traditional" American sport sedan. That left (at the time) the CTS-V and the 300/Charger SRT8. I'd call that a small pool. Add in the SS and the very temping ATS-V and you sill have a tiny segment.
Great review... My wife and I picked a 2012 one up around Christmas (nearly exactly the same) and the first thing we did was go on a 2k-3k mile roadtrip. We were amazed that we never tired of driving or sitting in this car, even hour on end. We were considering a CTS-V or a C63 AMG, but the interior of this car (we have the upgraded leather interior) is just jaw dropping.
Hi Alex, great reviews! How would you compare the luxury/quiet/ride during normal driving between the Chrysler 300 SRT8 and the Genesis 5.0 R-Spec? It appears clear the Chrysler is the much better performer in every way, but I'm wondering about the daily drivability of these two cars in comparison to each other.
The 300 is very much a daily driver kind of car, if you can get past the fuel economy. The Genesis is tuned more towards the Lexus soft end of the spectrum while the 300C is more Euro-firm.
Alex on Autos Really?! Alex ...I'm impressed..esp after I just read the Lexus 350 was rated as the best sports sedan recently; and with the tail-happy Genesis I automatically assumed it had to be sporty...thnx for representing another perspective.
I owned a 2006 5.7 300c an it had 60k on it, water pump went out an I replaced it. also was showing signs of electrical problems with the windows. other than that no problems
They did,but only 27 that includes 6 core models. They were not released to the public. So 2014 is the last year. www.wkjeeps.com/srt8/2014_Chrysler_300_SRT_Color_01.jpg This is the color break down. I would try for a Cherry Red. If you can black roof and black chrome package. Just a beautiful sleeper car.
They actually did, and still do.... for over seas market Thank goodness I have a 14 srt black edition in the garage. Good luck with finding one. Less than 500 for American market made
@@Welcometofacsistube Like you, I have a fully-optioned black edition 2014 as well. Only 23K miles. As you say, quite a rare car. Around 450 made for the US market and only about 125 black editions made.
I like how he reviews the trunk's comfort. Like the audience aim for the 300 is for kidnappers who like to keep their victims comfortable in the trunk.
I love the 300, but the blackout speck for this car just does not go, it is a large luxury sedan, and the black just looks tacky. The version that is not available in the U.S. is the best looking one in my opinion. I love all the chrome and the way it glistens in the sun, it looks like a big cushy luxury vehicle, but once you put your foot down you can race a gt 500 no problem, that’s what I love about cars like this!
I like this guys take on things. Well except for transmission, there's no utility to having more then 5 gears when you have an engine with so much torque and such a wide power band. 8 speeds is just too much shifting. I just bought a 2014 300JV 5.7 AWD and most of what he talks about here is why.
Really??? Lose points on the trunk space because these hinges impact head room and leg room?? I guess I don't use my car to it's fullest potential. Never thought about trunk space for a person. Where do you work so I'll know "Not" to go there.
This vehicle is a beast, they are highly reliable Dr, Jekyll and Mr, Hyde in this. This big 4 door can move, top speed 170MPH. It's not you're regular Chrysler 300.
I'm not very familiar with resale values in the UK but I suspect the tax disc would cost you more because of the 300's higher emissions? You would also have to factor in the parts cost, limited Chrysler dealer network in the UK and the fuel economy. That's the kind of crazy thing I might do (I have the opposite thing going on since I own a Damiler Super Eight in the USA which has many of the same issues on this end).
Chrysler never needed 'help' from merjunk to develope a good suspension system. any mopar lover knows this. I had a 06c and trust me the only problems i had with the car is was with the front end suspension. tention struts anyone?
a good thing to do to this car if you are having reliability problems with this car in four or five years is to get the motor redone. Hennessey performance puts out a great tune for this car and gives you quite a lot of extra horsepower.
Good to know we can fit a body or two in the trunk . Thanks for demo
Your reviews are always thorough, informative and highly entertaining!
Sucks they stop producing SRT trim for 300. I like the luxury feel of the 300 but at the same time I want the performance that comes with its powerful HEMI engine.

JM C I’m sad that there’s no Chrysler srt300 8. Now you’re forced to get the Dodge Charger just to get more power.
And the new 8 speed was gonna be avaliable with it if they kept on going. Im sure more sales wouldve happened to the 300 with the 392 hemi plus the 8 speed with the edition of the hellcat engine
You can always import one overseas... they still make new 300c SRT with the 8speed 👍
Exactly, I wanted the v8 power in a luxury platform. I was leaning towards a 5 series but landed in this by accident
good now the bodies i put in the back will be more comfortable
Thank u mr alex ur channel is my favourite on youtube for car reviews plus u talk about everything in the car like material quality which many people don't talk about it.
You have just established a benchmark in automotive reviews Alex; pleasant, wholesome, and thorough.
This is despite your surprising bias to the car.
This is a very thorough and professional review. Extremely helpful, thank you!
I was excited to see this review. White is my favorite color of the SRT8. That was absolutely full of information with a flawless presentation. Thanks, Alex.
Awesome review, Alex! Always a great job and in depth. Cheers.
Alex, your reviews are the best. Keep it up.
Wow, what a very well put together review
He advertises this car well, and let's you know that this one is perfected for anyone who has a criminal mind or relying simply on thuggish ways or on future unlawful intentions.
Basically a getaway car.
Best review I have watched on any car!
Best reviewer in the business. Nice review as always.
Great review! I really like the 300 SRT8 and I feel you did a great job going over the vehicle.
Great review. I have owned a 2012 for 24K. 22 on the 245 all seasons. Got a 4.7 0 to 60 12.7 112mph. The couple few times I tried was with worn tires. Tires hold it back.

This guy makes the best reviews! Longest month in deprh
That was some of the best deadpan ever. Never expected that from a car reviewer.
Best review I have ever seen!!!👏👏👏👏
Thorough! Great job Alex!
Car is a straight beast, this is not your regular run of the mill Chrysler 300, these are rarely seen on the road. Would love to have one.
yes...because i really need that extra "head and leg" room in the trunk......
good review tho other than that
😂😂😂🤣
Yes u do.. a spare tire
Another great review
that is some good driving man .keep up !
Great review!!!
I expect to see a trunk score on every car you review.
Nice to know I can buy a spare tire for my car
Excellent review...
Is the str8 the only one with no chrome ? Beautiful care besides the chrome on the trunk
The reliability of the chrysler is not actually bad... i have a friend who has a Chrysler 300 and he has for few years and has not had any problems at all. It still works..
Amazing car. Love the trunk review lol
Well,
I have a 2007 Chrysler 300 Touring with over 200k miles on the odometer.
I have not experienced any out of the ordinary problems - but I have serviced it according to Chryslers service spec.s

Great review! Please do the 2011-2013 Lexus IS F
honestly the best review i've watched... ever... Awesome job!
I put 65,000 miles on my first SRT8.
Oxygen sensors go around 50,000.
Tires go much, much faster.
looking good with the set of 20s
Good review
Have you had a chance to test the Charger SRT8, Alex?
The tall hood (and firewall, beltline and deck) is because of the tall control arm suspension. But as you'll see on the new Maserati Ghibli they're switching over to a lower mounted double wishbone set-up for next generation. Challenger will be getting it first for 2015, expect a lower (but still fairly tall) beltline but better handing and less weight (400lbs~ less) in the future on this and the Charger.
I love hearing that engine growl on this video.
The Chrysler 300 is better looking then all them other cars you mentioned!
Hey I'm thinking of buying one. Any thoughts now that it is a couple years old?
I just bought one, the same on this video. Its a beast. You turn off traction control and it screams
this car is is one sweet whip. the john varvatos 300c is nice too
One of the last is an appropriate line IMHO. The Chevy SS and ATS-V didn't exist when this video was shot, the Charger is the essentially the same car. The Taurus SHO is a FWD baised AWD car whish isn't a "traditional" American sport sedan. That left (at the time) the CTS-V and the 300/Charger SRT8. I'd call that a small pool.

2006 300 SRT8 with well over 100k, runs perfectly and hasn't had a single problem.
That weekend trip to Napa? Napa auto parts? 😬
Awesome car
Looking to trade In my 5.0 Coyote Mustang gt for a 2013 chrysler srt8, the srt8 has 80K miles, are they reliable????

Alex on Autos Thanks Alex! Can't wait to test drive them when I'm ready to buy (used 2013 or 2014 in late 2015/early 2016).

Good review. Just wondering why you would be in the trunk?...
It started as a dare.
Nice
I just love these cars, gremlins and all.
I have a 2013 challenger Srt8 and I only wish they came with the same screens and dashes these came with :/
The Best OMG I Gotta Have One.. 3 3 I LOVE It So Much!
I own this. Driving this thing makes me giggle.
Get the 18 model. You will love it
@@mrhawk1924 sadly, they stopped making the srt in the north american market in 2014.
@@roninblax Do they still make them elsewhere? Or you meant they stopped entirely?
@@cosmic_gate476 the sell them in the middle East and Australia.
ابداع
it looks fucking sick in black
I like the 300 but I think the 2010 are one of the best built Chryslers of all they're all beautiful cars.
Dude what are u really up to at night to be getting in and out of a trunk?
why do you need to know? lol
There's more room in the trunk than my first aparment. Skip ahead to 5:52, best part by far!
That is obviously a concern, the 300 hasn't been terrible in terms of reliability but it is honestly too soon to tell about this generation.
a great car too kidnap a person, you can fit easily 3 kids in the boot...not bad if u ask me
nice
one of the last american sport sedans? chevy ss, cadillac cts v, cadillac ats, ford sho,dodge charger
I owned a 2006 5.7 300c an it had 60k on it, water pump went out an I replaced it. also was showing signs of electrical problems with the windows. other than that no problems

Dads thinking of buying this car should he?
Yes you are.
me too
Heisenberg's car // breaking bad
Why did they stop the srt trim?!
they still sell it Australia and Canada.
Sales
The Charger SRT8 is very much the same vehicle as the 300 in terms of performance and feel. The Super Bee represents a better value at $42,625.
I like how he reviews the trunk's comfort. Like the audience aim for the 300 is for kidnappers who like to keep their victims comfortable in the trunk.
Better than Doug Demuro haha Keep it up man.

How much this car cost now?
About 22,000 - 28,000 depending on milage
Trunk comfort is for impressing your ex-associates on their way to "buying the farm"! :p
#perfection
Get in, the comfort of the trunk? That's mental.
I like this guys take on things. Well except for transmission, there's no utility to having more then 5 gears when you have an engine with so much torque and such a wide power band. 8 speeds is just too much shifting. I just bought a 2014 300JV 5.7 AWD and most of what he talks about here is why.

10 years ago, I buy a 13' Chrysler 300 sedan.
How has it been as far as reliability? I'm considering buying one. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!
Did he really just say how easy it was to climb into the trunk like that was a selling point?? Lol didn't see that coming.
I really like this car. My friend had a first gen 300 and it was a piece of crap. They really out done themselves
I can fit at least three bodies in that trunk im buying one
I'm very confused, why did he pitch the trunk space as access with head and foot rest area..... ummmm.
4.4 is this sled .
Man , that's moving
in 05:45 ladies and gentlemen This feature for the russians and italians not for ordinary people ;)
Breaking Bad :P
why i want one
This^^^^ I saw Walter whites black 300 SRT8 and wanted that exact one. Hoping to save for it and get it once this pandemic cools down.
I can pick one of the 2009 models up for £5000 is it worth it ?

It's a $50,000 475hp sedan... that's kind of expected man.
Chrysler never needed 'help' from merjunk to develope a good suspension system. any mopar lover knows this. I had a 06c and trust me the only problems i had with the car is was with the front end suspension. tention struts anyone?
The 1st gen 300 cars were built on Mercedes chassis design.
Only Integrity And Class Wholesale oh I’m well aware of that
You
pretty sure the charger is a sports sedan buddy
Call me a retard if you’d like but I have a2014 300s, so will the 2013srt rear bumper fit on mine🤷🏾♂️
الحلم💔😓

I looked at the views and i thought it was the mileage
I wish petrol head will do a tr6060 sway in the 12 300c
re-locate the natural safety switch and add an extra pedal, then you have to tune the PCM?
