Chrysler 300C Touring road tests and consumer car reviews

Chrysler 300C Touring 2007

The A6, Merc and BMW wouldn’t pull a 1700Kg caravan with as much ease.

Chrysler 300C Touring 2006

At ninety years of age I have owned many cars. This Model Chrysler was purchased new in 2008 has everything that is desirable in a Car. The best Car for quality was a LaSalle, the next was a Rambler Matador for performance and comfort; there were several PLYMOUTH, DODGE , DESOTO cars in between - the next was a Mercedes 500SEL combining comfort luxury and performance, all V8’s. However, we would not swap the Chrysler 300c for all of the rest put together, it is a truly impressive Car with much comfort, electric seats, reliabilty and very good performance allowing for the lower engine rating of the previous V8’s and it is roomy enough to carry my Electric Wheelchair. The Service we get from the Gosford (NSW) Dealer is superb. The next Car will be a Chrysler 300c Touring in Metallic Silver, and it will be purchased from the Gosford (NSW) Dealer.

Keith at ninety, you are doing well!! But there is so much more to learn!!, fantastic on you. Now recentaly I was in Hong Kong and I saw a 300c Chrysler, two tone black and orange, the orange is boot width and streached over the car to the front grill. WOW, the look was good, the wheels where 23 inch low profiles and I don’t care who you are, being from an 18 year old to a 90+, you step out of that car it would be smiles all round. I did go for a close look inside and out and I agree with you, comfort and zip. Look, next time I go for a ride I will invite H.E. Wales and we will trade some ideas!!! Sunseeker from Australia

Mine is in Black / Black Windows / Bentley Grill / Debadged and I have removed the orange side lights and replaced with clear/smoked ones from the US. This make the car look great and it really does turn heads, especially when it has just been waxed. In fact, it gets more looks than my BMW 7 with 20" rims that I had last. The car does appx 27mpg and drives well. I have done 11k so far and despite having its second set of alloys fitted under warranty (they all pitted and the lacquer came off) I have had no problems. It is due it’s first service next month and to my surprise it takes 10 litres of low ash oil at £11+VAT per litre, total price £352, with a bit of shopping around this came down to £255. I also tow a caravan, and despite getting strange looks when it goes past people it does the job really well, the only towbar option though is a Brink Detachable at £500. This is the best value for money car in it’s class, but remember, you are buying a VFM Chrysler, it might look great and drive well but is is still no match for a Audi A6/Merc E or BMW 5, but then it is half the price!

Chrysler 300C Touring Silver, blacked out windows 2007

BEAUTIFUL, FANTASTIC, HUGE. It catches more eyes than any European equivalent. I’ve leased one for nearly two years and I’m going to have another one stone white colour this time with the windows blacked out again. The car is utterly reliable as I have done 60,000 miles in under two years apart from servicing, this car is highly recommended to those who want something different; its appearance is concept with its flattened roof look an awesome design. The V8 hemi SRT would be my preferred choice of engine but the petrol prices in the UK would make it a rich man’s toy. However, the V6 3.0 diesel is impressive in every way, shape and form. I carry lots of TV camera equipment and I still get an impressive 42mpg at 70mph. LOVE IT!

Chrysler 300C Touring 3.0 CRD 2008

Love it - for sheer presence, space, versatility and believe it or not, economy and performance, nothing touches it in this price bracket. Takes a day to get used to the size thing, but it is nimble, quick, tight turning circle and car park friendly despite appearances. Love it.

I need help on finding a reason as to why the reversing lights flash the radio and the wipers do the same all at the same time.

Chrysler 300C Touring 3.0 V6 CRD Touring 2007

It’s a big and bold car so I know it won’t appeal to everyone but having never been a shrinking violet I think it’s wonderful. Amazing value for how much car you get and it certainly turns heads. Masses of space for both driver and passengers make it feel luxurious and very comfortable. Not as bad on fuel as you’d expect and nice to cruise around in.

Chrysler 300C Touring 3.5 V6 2007

I live In Montreal at the moment and needed a car during my stay so I bought a 300 Chrysler, great looks, spacious, great handing and brakes for an American car, and is good in the heavy snow and ice we get here, fuel economy is about 25-27 to the gallon, best of all due to local promotions and special offers, I paid $22,000 Canadian (about 8K!!!!!!!) Last I saw in the UK they were asking 27k1 Lovely family car, and midnight metallic blue looks really sinister at night. Ross

Good in heavy snow and ice you say! Do you have AWD or snow tires? I am buying one today but I was told because they are RWD not so good in snow - Brandon from Canada

If this car was a teacher it would be your geography teacher, wearing leather elbow patches and brown cords, if it was a sweet it would be a Werthers Original in a special edition tin, if it was a guitar it would be a 1965 Gibson Les Paul, signed by Angus, if it was a female model it would be Jennifer Anniston in a short skimpy dress, if it was a boxer it would be Mike Tyson pounding his opponent, if it was a fish it would be a north atlantic 60lb cod, if it was a beer it would be Sneck Lifter from the Lake District, if it was a Sunday lunch it would be roast beef and all the trimmings and two yorkshire puds and apple pie and cream to finish, if it was a radio DJ it would be Alan Partridge aha... back of the net!

Had to have this car when I saw it, it’s such an imposing car but drives beautifully. The big downside to this car is the depreciation, which is frightening but if you’re in the market for a car you can really enjoy and offers real luxury then I would still recommend this to you.
