    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.

    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."

    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 !

    @MaliciousSRT Před 11 lety +2

    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.

    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.

    • @AAutoBuyersGuide
      @AAutoBuyersGuide  Před 10 lety +3

      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.

    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'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).
