My two cents to this review is, and it goes to most reviews out there as well, that they always criticize 17 inch wheels. It's true that it does not look as stylish or as attractive as the 19's. But I think that it should always be worth mentioning that 17 inch wheels will always provide a more comfortable ride quality. That would give the viewers something to think about in making a choice. Personally, I wouldn't compromise ride quality over better looking wheels. That said, I'd rather get a base trim and add options.
@Lou I think it’s reliable. I have a 2009 with 234,000 miles and it’s still kicking. My dad has a 2012 and he has no problems with his. Only thing I would say about the 300 is is that if someone buys a 2005-2010 300, avoid the 2.7 V6. It’s a awful engine and fails prematurely. Those 2.7 V6s were in a bunch of Dodge and Chrysler cars
The 19-inch wheels don’t have a Poor ride, low-profile tires have the poor ride characteristics, a big sidewall to the Tires provide a comfortable ride.
I own one of these. It's an incredible car. For a v6, it has a lot of power. For those of you who think they suck in the snow, you just can't drive lol. When placed next to a Cadillac or Lincoln, the 300 blows them out of the water. Bottom line, I chose those over a BMW 328i.
300 Limited owner here.... You are absolutely right. If you can't handle this beauty in the snow,you're just a bad snow driver. It's an instant classic in my book.
I just bought a 2011 300 limited 3.6 5 speed one owner used by an older couple and I love this vehicle. Great video and great review. you did a great job high lighting its strengths and not bashing it for personnel preference but sticking to the facts. Great job 🙂
It’s everything I ever wanted in a Chrysler sedan. Thank you for this review! Just makes me love my 300 even more! ❤️👍🏽 It’s the best bang for the buck, luxury muscle at an affordable price and much more!
Why have they not done an updated review on this car!! It's been 5 years and with the new changes in the current models it's probably one of the most underestimated luxury sedans on the market.
Dude. You do the best reviews on the internet. That's why I've subscribed and view your reviews all the time. I agree this is a really nice car and I want you to know that you can get the 300C with the 3.6 Penestar V6 or the 5.6 V8 option. I have a Durango with the 3.6 and it's been as reliable as an anvil. One thing I've noticed though. There is no s at the end of the word anyway.
I own a 2016 300S V6. Now it is just over 10K miles and I feel now it is more refined after the break in period. I don't regret not buying the V8. Surprisingly the V6 300 is faster than my Mazdaspeed 3 turbo hatch. Definitely recommend buying one of these 300s because of the value for the buck. FCA improved quality and attention to detain around 2016 so if you like rwd sedans w style and character, the 300S or 300C is great
Best full size sedan out imo. It's rwd, great looking, plenty of power and decently priced. Chrysler, Dodge, jeep are making great cars now days the Japanese are getting behind in alot of places.
In the UK these are good value too. Used you can get an executive model (top of the range) for £21,000 now (£40,000 new, also good value) and it's not really lacking much compared to the German competition. There's even a brand new 2013 Executive on Autotrader for £30,000. Awesome! I just wish the SRT was available.
Not with today's modern traction control systems. Years ago my daily driver was a 1993 Lincoln Town Car (Big old rear wheel drive with a V8). That car had traction control and was a beast in the snow. Smaller/lighter rear wheel drive cars can have issues (even if they have traction control). These larger (heavier) rear wheel drive vehicles today with traction control are pretty good in winter driving. The heavier the better, the lighter rear wheel cars tend to slide around more.
Back in late '04 when these had just come out my grandmother was looking for a new car because her 1 year old '03 Nissan Maxima GLE was totaled in a flood. When we looked at the 300 both my grandmother and myself thought it was one of the ugliest looking cars and she didn't like the way it drove. My grandfather loved it. She won out because my grandfather told her to get what she wanted. She had owned an Audi in the '80s and loved it. So she bought an '04 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro sedan and loves it!
My mom had a pt cruiser and we beat that up it lasted us like almost 10 years then we sold it. Now I have the 2013 Chrysler 300 i hope this last like my other
If you are considering this car, gotta go for the Hemi. Gas mileage isn’t the greatest, but then you get the muscle car sound and power with next to German level luxury on the inside
Yeah and it's an even better deal buying a one year old example. Right now a 2012 or 2013 with the V6 motor is going for about $21k at a Chrysler dealership. I'd buy one used and buy an extended warranty, let the first owner pay the depreciation and extra fees.
I too was impressed by how quiet this car is, but it has absolutely no steering feel, a suspension that wallows about, and a touch screen infotainment system. Why make it so hard to change the temperature or turn on a seat heater? Buttons work so much better and they're safer, more reliable, and cheaper too!
Gotta say I like it, especially the interior it looks simple and nice and has a sleek looking wood trim, a lot of Time manufacturers try to add to much of a modern interior and make it look ugly.
I picked out one in November, 2013 with 3200 miles i love my car traded a 2008 CTS-4 i miss it but i really like this car don,t need bigger rims because i'm good with what i brought for the size also it has a split rear seat and auto start also the ride is just great the 2016 model changed the front Grill to a wanna be after market Grill with the mesh in front i t looks better with the silver chrome like grill i'm just saying.NiCEEEE Car.
Basically I like the 300. Basically I will be getting one soon. And basically I really like your reviews. Basically Im not hatting just basically saying basically...
That's exactly right nobody has ever bought one of these without the cognitive "driver" "People will think I have more money than I really do" well done for catching on mate good work.
I had my heart set on getting one of these in high school but 1. I have no money. 2 I don’t drive yet. So I moved over to a 2010 Mazda 3 hatch. Which works for me
HI there , well now it's a while back , what would you say different to day ?? Do you like them as much ? Or would you choose the V8 ? Thank's great as always >>>>
Clint 007 I have a 2016 300S awd and I love it. you get the best of both worlds RWD an AWD. Check out the Alloy package in the S to stand out from the pack
ashley hawkins get the 300S with awd. I have one and I love it. Great value! and great lease deals if you are looking to lease. The ford taurus is so crappy that for did not even bring over the new Chinese version to the US for 2017 which is a totally different car from the current one. My guess is that the are using the Chinese market to work out the bugs.
I just bought one. First impression, it is extremely comfortable, smooth, and quiet!
I just bought my 300S last week, it drives amazing!
Johnny Corona: Even the base model you can luxury features. No need to step up to a expensive higher trim.
Test drove one with a V6 today. Seems pretty darn nice

Its a heavy car and rides so much better with high tire walls. Really absorbs those crappy potholes.
Smaller the wheel better the ride bigger the wheel better the looks. Handling is determined by sidewall height and tire quality.
This Sept bought 2013 300c. IMHO an elegant, practical car that fits me perfectly.-51 yr. old guy- great ride and nice simple U-Connect interface.
I have the 2014 and LOVE IT. You cant go wrong with this car.
I drive a 2018 300S V8. Absolutely brute of a cruiser and it can haul ass. Love driving it everyday.
I own one of these. It's an incredible car. For a v6, it has a lot of power. For those of you who think they suck in the snow, you just can't drive lol. When placed next to a Cadillac or Lincoln, the 300 blows them out of the water. Bottom line, I chose those over a BMW 328i.
300 Limited owner here....
You are absolutely right. If you can't handle this beauty in the snow,you're just a bad snow driver.
It's an instant classic in my book.
I own the RWD. The same exact car that was used in this video. Same color and all.
300 would be closer in class to 528i...and no the 300 doesn't touch a base bmw
Nico Blanchard ow yes it doz I had a 530i the 300c eats it for fun you need to drive both cars before you talk shit
Mark Burston booyuustooop
I sat in one of these as a rental. It's small in the back but it's VERY comfortable. I'm not exaggerating.
I own the 2013 300c 3.6VVT. Only difference mine does have navigation and back-up camera. What a great car. And yes it can pull...
I just bought a 2011 300 limited 3.6 5 speed one owner used by an older couple and I love this vehicle. Great video and great review. you did a great job high lighting its strengths and not bashing it for personnel preference but sticking to the facts. Great job 🙂
The 8 speed is incredible and the interior has come a along way from the early the beginning generation of the 300c. Good deal!
ZF's 8-speed is the best 8-speed in the business~~ Can't go wrong with any car that has it
My Motown edition has black wood trim, looks great. Had this car for a year, most fun to drive car I've had that has luxury, for a decent price.
ZF's 8 speed is always perfection whenever put into a vehicle.
It’s everything I ever wanted in a Chrysler sedan. Thank you for this review! Just makes me love my 300 even more! ❤️👍🏽 It’s the best bang for the buck, luxury muscle at an affordable price and much more!
Not really muscle considering v6 camry or accord will destoy it in straight line performance
Calling it a luxury car is definitely a stretch. More of a premium vehicle
I like this car.
marc1093280 8”
Wow. you reviewed a Chrysler product and didn't have anything bad to say. I am amazed.
I have the 2016 300c platinum Edition and I love it! By far my favorite car other than a Bentley
Redline reviews are the best car in the world #1
Why have they not done an updated review on this car!! It's been 5 years and with the new changes in the current models it's probably one of the most underestimated luxury sedans on the market.
Very educational video thanks for sharing! Purchased one a big upgrade from my 04 Impala
I went from an 04 impala to an 06 300. Now I looking at a 2014 300

Great honest review. Thanks! Now we go buy one... yes, in 2020.
I just bought a 2013 and I LOVE it...and I have the backup cam, so Idk what he talkn about 🤔 and it's base
Perhaps it was optional. How much did you pay for it?
Right cause I have a 2014 base no camera
Probably he payed extra to get it
Yea i don't get it either because i have a 2013 300 Base and it has both a backup camera & gps navigation
In the UK these are good value too. Used you can get an executive model (top of the range) for £21,000 now (£40,000 new, also good value) and it's not really lacking much compared to the German competition.

I picked out one 2014 300c varvatos 3,6 I really happy. Car very good.

I think the back seats are roomy on the chrysler 300
Thats heisenbergs car
Hell yeah!!
ok
Yep just about to finish season 5

The Taurus has the huggest trunk in the class but, that 8 speed is a HUGE improvement :)
Great review,i just buy me a 2013 with rear view camera and beats audio,car is amazing
Love your reviews check your channel every day to see if there's a new vid! Keep it up man!
My mom had a pt cruiser and we beat that up it lasted us like almost 10 years then we sold it. Now I have the 2013 Chrysler 300 i hope this last like my other
I bought this car a few months ago and it only had 82k (50k miles) on it for 16k AU, literally the best car iv ever owned
The engine sounds really nice!
The cool blue gauge lighting doesn't look good with the wood trim
AWD base models came standard with 19" wheels, FYI. Back up cam is optional on the base models. I believe it became standard on 2014s.
The Chrysler 300s are the best and great for the next one
Man you covered everything great video
This is the only trim I would buy then put 20inch wheels on it.
If you are considering this car, gotta go for the Hemi. Gas mileage isn’t the greatest, but then you get the muscle car sound and power with next to German level luxury on the inside
Have a 2012 base model and I love it. Used to drive a 2006 5.7 hemi 300c and even though it’s not as powerful it’s just overall a better ride
This is just a truly amazing car. I can't wait till they come out with the V8 8 speed
Anyone who is considering this car should look at the V8 Hemi version. The sound alone is absolutely delicious 😈
buba426 agreed, just picked up a 2012 300c AWD with the Hemi and OH MY GOD I feel like I’m king of the road when I put my foot down.
Yeah and it's an even better deal buying a one year old example. Right now a 2012 or 2013 with the V6 motor is going for about $21k at a Chrysler dealership. I'd buy one used and buy an extended warranty, let the first owner pay the depreciation and extra fees.

Wow, that's a BIG improvement :o)
Does anyone recommend this as a first car!? And for reliability?
Basethagod i guess if good mainted it will last at least to 200xxx miles
As long as it’s not a 2.7.
@@atx-cvpi_99 They killed off the 2.7 if your talking about this gen.
i own thos car,perfect review. love my 300
Great review sir
Gotta say I like it, especially the interior it looks simple and nice and has a sleek looking wood trim, a lot of Time manufacturers try to add to much of a modern interior and make it look ugly.

These American full sized cars always look so huge from the outside but tiny..was not expecting that little bit of rear seat legroom
I love this car
I have to admit, I'm blown away. I just wish the wood was a darker trim
I love that 300
Based on a Mercedes, looks like a Bentley, body like a rolls Royce!
breaking bad made me come here :)
The 300 is the best looking sedan released by a US Automobile company.
Cool ride
Basically I like the 300. Basically I will be getting one soon. And basically I really like your reviews. Basically Im not hatting just basically saying basically...
I would like to see you review the 2016 300s with the Hemi V8!
can you review a 2017 Chrysler 300s awd? Please?!
You get a back up cam on the limited model which is the 2nd lowest
Are they reliable?
How does this car compare with Cadillac CTS ?? If one likes a big smooth car . Thank you
I like ur review so much , Can you review 350z or eclipse gt please :)
This would be in my price range in a few years, and I have always wanted a 300... how would this fare as a first car?
Adam Douglas great first car! Powerful too bro!!
Is that the Jazz blue pearl paint
That's exactly right nobody has ever bought one of these without the cognitive "driver" "People will think I have more money than I really do" well done for catching on mate good work.
that engine sounded kinda...nice lol
nice review!!
Nice review. Thanks.
American Rolls-Royce
I have a 300c Hemi 5.7 I really love my car 111,450 mile
You should use turn signals.
There are hard buttons as well as knobs for the climate and heated seat controls. The screen controls are just redundant.
Thank you Chrysler for the 8 speed auto :)
Does it have a cd player
Yes
I had my heart set on getting one of these in high school but 1. I have no money. 2 I don’t drive yet. So I moved over to a 2010 Mazda 3 hatch. Which works for me
You drove past my house making this video btw
My 2013 300c 5.7L has the Garmin GPS w/ the heated & cooled cup holders
Its has a analogue clock, which is a prerequisite in luxury cars.
Amazing!!! Nice Car!!! I want to Chrysler300. Thank you for Your UpLorD whith Introduces．．．
HI there , well now it's a while back , what would you say different to day ?? Do you like them as much ? Or would you choose the V8 ? Thank's great as always >>>>
Love 'em! Not THAT colour but nevertheless... LOVE EM!!
Great review , thank´s
Why does the camera rattle so much ? does it have to ?
Thanks..great review. If you had a choice between the Chrysler 300 or the Hyundai Genesis, which one would you choose and why?
Chrysler. Hundai not the same panache although very good,
Genesis
The genesis especially the 2015 model
+deosanvideo
300 SRT8 hands down
Thanks for this review I hoped that you would do the v8 version but I'll accept this lol: )
I'm stuck between this or Ford Taurus
I would pick the 300C
choose the 300
Clint 007 I have a 2016 300S awd and I love it. you get the best of both worlds RWD an AWD. Check out the Alloy package in the S to stand out from the pack
ashley hawkins get the 300S with awd. I have one and I love it. Great value! and great lease deals if you are looking to lease.

My guess is that the are using the Chinese market to work out the bugs.
***** thanks
Is rear wheel drive really bad in snow
where is the fuse box at??
This interior is better quality than the old one? J=How bad was the last one? Like a 1970s Lada?
My grandma bought this car about a week ago *said while dancing.
they will be collectors one day I'm getting mines early
aha a Chrysler 300 review and Heisenberg references in the comments - the community doesn't disappoint!
thinking about buying this, is it good?
Try rent it first n feel it then purchase it
+Jaehyun Park aha, thanks :)
Not being sarcastic at all Chrysler has really improved if you see what they were charging for 30 grand a couple years ago.
