About the Chrysler 300
|
Smooth, quiet operation, tight handling, space, luxury: The Chrysler 300 sedan has it all, at attractive prices. Yet what the 300 has more than anything is bold, appealing styling. The Chrysler 300 nameplate includes a wide range of engines and amenities, from a frugal V6 to the powerful SRT8. The base model comes well-equipped for less than $25,000 MSRP. The Touring model adds leather, amenities and a more powerful V6 for about $28,000. The 300C offers a truly powerful Hemi V8, with Chrysler's fuel-saving Multi-Displacement System, and it can be equipped with most of the gizmos and luxury features available today. Long-wheelbase models are also available that some families may find appealing. Aimed primarily at the chauffeur-driven executive class, the long-wheelbase version offer a cavernous back seat, th more leg room than just about anything on the road. It's great for tall folks or anyone who likes space and convenience and can be equipped with custom features such as writing tables and foot rests.Click here to read more

Quick Drive: 2008 Chrysler 300C SRT Design
Turn the key and the Hemi rumbles to life, reminding you that you've got 340 horses under the hood and they're ready to play. The 300C is a car that won't leave you hanging when you step on the pedal, its eight cylinders roar on command and will get you up to speed and onto the freeway with authority. The five-speed automatic kicks down quickly when you put the power down and works seamlessly otherwise. The 300C and its Hemi will leave you crying at the gas pump, though. My $62 fillup averaged out to about 12.65 mpg (the car is listed at 15 city/23 highway). Of course I had my foot in it, but not often. The 300C tips the scales at just south of 4100 pounds, and you feel its heft shift around when you hustle it into and out of corners. Its ride is tuned much more toward the comfort end of the spectrum, with the suspension soaking up the bumps nicely. Steering feel is somewhat numb and disconnected, especially at higher speeds, although the brakes do a nice job of stopping the 300C's mass. It's a package that's clearly tuned to American tastes. If you want the good stuff, the SRT8 is the enthusiast's choice. |

2008 Chrysler 300 Review
The Chrysler 300 delivers bold styling. It's smooth and quiet, with a great ride and tight handling. Getting in and out is easy, and it's roomy inside. Models are available for all tastes and budgets. Its traction and stability electronics work well, but buyers who want to be prepared for bad weather should opt for all-wheel drive. The base 300 is a lot of car for the money, with a proven V6 that has adequate power for many drivers. We prefer the Touring and Limited models, with their more powerful V6 and higher levels of features. The 300C comes with a Hemi V8 that can dust expensive luxury cars in performance and value. The SRT8 delivers outstanding performance in civilized style at a price that's hard to beat.
