I live in Australia and about four years ago we had to hire a car. Standing in line at the airport to rent one I saw that the 300C was available. That started a two day love affair. Winding twisting roads and nice straight stretches were you could let it stretch its legs were all done with ease and in complete climate controlled comfort. I still remember it, stunning looks gorgeous interior and incredible performance from a V6. I have driven a lot of cars but I can honestly say that was the best to date. Nice video mate, thanks for posting it.
@@neilcarter77 I just bought a 2015s with the V8 fully loaded with just about every options package (including adaptive cruise and automatic braking) and only 30,000 miles. Sticker in 2015? 47,000. Price to me? 21k. It's incredible value.
@@marcushalberstram397 agree. I got the same thing as you, but a 2018 s and it cost me 26,000. That was with the v8 hemi also. Only downside? No beats audio, but I'm adding that soon for only 700 including labor. All in all, amazing vehicle.

Exactly, I love the current Mopars but they really NEED some new redesigns. As far as the Chrysler brand itself goes they seemed to have confirmed in their 5 year plan that more crossovers will be added to the Chrysler brand as it's going to be their brand for family vehicles now.
Brian Rosado. I agree. They need another model. Another crossover is probably the only viable option. The 200 was a good car, but the midsize sedan class is SO competitive. Their mistake was that they did not make it standout.
William Cuthbertson my car is fast asf and looks better than fusion and Mazda 6 And is faster (except fusion sport ). The 200 stood out a lot. Put it next to a Camry or Honda or VW.
They desperately need a Pacifica based premium SUV that should've carried the Pacifica name. Or a Durango based SUV similar to the Aspen. Actually both would.
It’s the kind of thing you either love it or not. I have the “S” (2019), and the cruising down the road part of the equation is super. KEEP IN MIND, the 20 inch wheels are splendid to look at and on a smooth road, a great asset to the ride. It has some nice handling characteristics. On a bad bumpy road however, you are going to feel the bumps a bit more. This car produces something akin to the “German” ride. A bit stiffer anyway than say a Cadillac. It’s no secret that the 300 uses a Mercedes E class suspension design from a few years ago. I like the ride as it is less fatiguing than a super plush bump free sort of thing. Anyway, it’s my second 300 and I feel it’s a good value for the price.
I just picked up a 2019 300C with the Hemi last week. $15,000 miles. Was a manufacturer car, owned by Chrysler Training Center. It’s literally like brand new. Absolutely love it. Had a 300M back in the day. Always liked a big American sedan.
I have a feeling there was some dealer mark-up involved here because I built a V8 300S on the Chrysler site with all the options and it came out to $43K.
They are pretty reliable actually. I know a guy that has one with 180k miles and he said the only thing he ever had to do was replace a cracked radiator.
Fruitably YT Ha I wish that was true. But no the 8 speed isn’t bulletproof. The one in my ‘17 Charger Rallye w/ AWD was replaced at 6,700 miles because it was slipping (had excessive metal in the pan). Now at 8,600 miles the new one is slipping too. This shit is ridiculous. Smh... The 3.6 is very solid tho.
Marshall Fox I have only seen people have issues with that transmission in awd form. From what I have seen the rwd models are much more reliable. Sorry to hear about your issues though.
I own a 2017 300c and its been actually pretty good, I average 23 mpg which is actually pretty good considering I drive fast most of the time. I have ran into some issues tho, the touch screen sometimes will freeze and turn off on its own and the backup camera will sometimes fail or turn on with inverted colors. Other than that it is an overall good car
I've had something similar in my car. Honestly, go to your dealership. They replaced my APIM in my headunit and also got me a new backup camera. It was due to a short in the electrical somewhere. All covered under warranty.
I had a backup camera replaced under warranty in my 2014 300S. That was several years ago and I have had zero issues since. Car is 5 years old with 60k miles. Still runs like new and costs very little to operate..

Definitely not worth 50 grand, but not a bad car either. I bought my wife a used, low mileage 2018 300 C with 3.6 V6 a couple months ago. It has the 18 inch wheels, which have a smoother ride than the 20 inchers on the S model. The car gets decent mileage, around 26-27 mpg combined. And you are right about Uconnect...works much better than the Sync 2 in my 2015 F150. Overall, quite happy with the 300 C...purchase price was
I bought a new 2014 and put on 212,000 miles never had 1 issue. Good friend has a 2010 with 297,000 miles had to replace the fuel pump that's it. These are sweet cars perfect for highway driving
Such an underrated car and much more reliable and durable than the brand stigma suggests. RWD, available V8 engine. Get one now before it gets discontinued, before the death of RWD V8 cars. Huge dicounts, brand new V8 are offered for $35k , V6 for $23k.
Yeah some people say it's "unreliable" because "iT's A ChRySLEr" but realize the Pentastar and HEMI paired with the ZF 8 speeds in these things are bulletproof together. Both the engines and tranny are proven to be great! Unfortunately most haters hate on this car when most of them probably just owned a LeBaron and immediately thinks the rest is garbage.
Scott Mccauley The SRT-8 wasn’t a family car, it was a performance car. Some people enjoy having a V8 in their “family” car, gives them that taste of fun on top of value and utility. I’d imagine the insane power on the bigger 6.4l engine would mean more fun on top of utility. I currently have a 5.7 Charger and enjoy it, but I’d also enjoy a SRT-8 300 with modern specs and AWD.
Scott Mccauley It works well when they do, my Charger is AWD and helps in the winter, and the occasional off the line launch, cuts down on rear tire spin. 👌🏻👌🏻
Scott Mccauley For the most part the AWD is automatic, I wish they would make it controllable. Off for burnouts, on for snow. But yes V8 AWD Chargers needs to be the standard for their RT model or something.
When you're part of the "Fifty Something Club" like me, driving a Gentleman's Hot Rod is how it feels with my 2010 300C. Huge all the way around, 4 doors to lots of interior space including leg room, endless power and long distance cruising in beauty and style. Love the exhaust burble of the 5.7 at all speeds. Bought new and could care less about sad domestic resale value as this is a keeper with only our marks on it. To think Chrysler is dropping the 300 and will no longer offer a luxury flagship model is hard to take. WTH? Crossover...minivan....little FCA brick road toy car with pretty wheels or what??? NO WAY. Glad we've got what we got - so gorgeous and we're keeping it that way.
My husband has bought one red bright colour 2016 300 S , he got it with 10000 km for $Cad 28000! Add low profile 22 in velocity rims. He loves it and matching colour car seats covers He is 6”2 and 225 lbs. it fits him perfectly. He used to drive a dodge neon.....for 17 years!! We are still figuring out buttons and features. Love it ...
Yea a 50.000$ "luxury sedan" thats based on a 1995 Mercedes. How does it feel driving a 2019 luxury car that's based on our tech from 24 years ago? lmao sucks
I have 2014 300c. I love my car. My husband wasn't crazy about it at first...till his truck went into the shop. He started driving mine, he quickly changed his mind. With most manufacturers doing away with large sedans, I hope chrysler 300 sticks around, but i think its time for redesign. And bring back SRT!
I’m an love with this car, I had leased it twice as much I love it, best handling best design best material, and am so Pissed off on chrysler for not making it anymore.
But he speaks the truth....even my parents told me from a young age that Honda’s and Toyota’s make the best cars....all my mom drives are Honda’s. You won’t be able to drive a Chrysler for 15+ years....and as I am currently looking for a cheap car myself, can’t find a Honda with low mileage because they last at least 500,000 miles.
I honestly love the rotary shifter. I wasn't too sure in my 200 at first but you really get used to it quick and i find it makes the overall center consol layout alot cleaner.
Love the 300. I have a 2017 300s alloy edition and have never had a single problem. Even though gas mileage isn't the greatest it's a big heavy car that still draws attention to itself because of the design.
Had one for a rental for a week, it was a good car, awd did make a clunky noise from time to time which would concern me if I owned one. (my Escalade is awd and doesn't do this) other than that very comfortable and great driving experience.
I am not an American car guy. I love imports, having only owned Japanese and Korean cars. However, I had an accident last fall and was given a 300 as a rental for a week. I loved that car. It was quiet, smooth, and comfortable, and the handling was pretty great in comparison to most sedans these days. I honestly looked into purchasing one and found several good deals on a current year model year CPO but just couldn’t bring myself to bite the bullet because of the stigma around FCA vehicles being junk. I really wish Chrysler would get their life together and up their quality, because I would totally buy one of these (not for 50k but maybe high 30’s. )
I have a 2014 300S, 3.6 RWD which is basically identical . I think for most people, All Wheel Drive is a waste of money and gives much worse fuel economy. Honestly, my 300 will cruise all day from 60-80 mph and will give me anywhere from 31 to 33 mpg = courtesy of the 8-speed transmission It is truly amazing. I drove it from NJ to South Florida (1,200 miles) and I only used about 37 gallons of gas, or basically 2 fill-ups. I used to have a 2004 Mini Cooper S JCW with a manual and the mpg on my Chrysler is almost identical on the highway (and the cooper requires premium fuel, which the 300 doesn’t). I have had it for exactly 5 years, with less than 50k miles and I have had zero issues with it. If I had to do it again, I would much rather buy a used one or a demo, because this body style has been around since 2011, and the cars are basically identical (the earlier V8’s didn’t come with the 8-speed. My car drives great, with plenty of power, has had zero issues and costs very little to operate. Looks cool too, but I am really surprised that Chrysler hasn’t updated the basic car in NINE YEARS!!
looking to buy a used one, but most of the ones I am finding are AWD, not necessary since I live in TX. Most of the RWD are base models with no options. Thanks for the "review".
The 300 is the daily I wish to have. My mom had a 13 and I Love it! It also does not have the gloss black or the rotary knob. I also used to own an 05 Magnum and by far one of the best car I've owned. I'd say a fair price for what you're getting.
Always thought the 300 was a beautiful car. $50,000 lol heck no. Like most cars buy a low mileage one that's a couple years old for about 50% off of original price.
I own one of those 300 and I really like them! I love the way that look perfect Style no need to change anything outside ,Very fast and powerful engine .the bad news they got 2 full pumps ,this year 50k , in about a year 20k second year 10k and then pretty much for free. So not worth it buying a brand new one .
It’s not. It used Mercedes suspension but a new version of the LH platform called the LX. Stupid auto journalists thought that meant Mercedes architecture
Carcaine, I just knew someone would make that OBVIOUS observation. 300s have been ALWAYS (since its '05 MY start) IMPORTED FROM ONTARIO and never assembled "over here". Just as "MoPar minivans " (300s / Chargers/ Challengers from Brampton, factory built by AMC, by the way, while the minivans from Windsor). Main difference for using those Ontario towns (all of them Detroit suburbs) is not the quality, but the "loonies" as the Canadian dollar has historically been below the "buck" by a margin (right now a loonie is about U$0.76).
Bought a 2016 Chrysler 300 Anniversary Edition in 2016. Everything but a hemi & 4wd. Cost about 40k with taxes, etc. We just hit 50k miles. Resale is horrible. We will keep it for a long time. Babied in the garage when not driving it. Love the ride and the Beats speakers, subwoofer and the amp. So comfortable.
I have a 2014 300C 5.7 with AWD ( last year with that drive train combo). Car is very nice and no mechanical issues. A friend has a 2012 with just over 300k on his.
The title is a joke right!? Honestly, i like this car, i seem them around in the S trim, and i think it looks great. Unfortunately, FCA choose to neglect it, it has poor safely scores, and bad reliability..if not for that, i'd really be into this car based on style alone haha
LMAO 🤣! Probably the most entertaining and hilariously done review of the Chrysler 300, (more to love my own 300)! The decibel reader and the trunk fitment did it for me. 🤣 I didn’t know about the feature of not being able to lock your keys in the car. 👍🏽Thank you for a well done review of my dream car!
I was hoping for this ending sequence: Mike is talking about final assembly in Brampton, Roman walks on from behind Mike, taps Mike on the on the shoulder. - “Mike, don’t forget to mention that it’s got lots of components and some basic chassis architecture of a 15-year-old Mercedes Benz E class.” Mike looks at Roman with confused look while Canadian flag is replaced with a German flag with a question mark. “Wait, what?” End.
No one has paid that, ever, for a 300. Look at any listing, they are typically 15-20% off MSRP. EDIT: To be clear, I completely agree with you. I had a 2017 300S for a year and liked it quite a bit but it's absolutely without a doubt not worth anywhere near 50k (sticker was $52k)
Just buy a 1 year old model with less than 20,000 miles for $25k. They might be ex-rentals but given that they're so cheap just add on an extended warranty for $2700. At that price point they're comfy, pretty fast and the Garmin based infotainment system works well.
Still gorgeous. The EPA underrated it. My 15 C got 32mpg routinely on the highway. The S gets real dual exhaust on the v6 and v8. Uconnect is one of the best in the biz. Only downside is if you like any type of performance driving you can feel the weight. Build quality was beyond reproach. It took one day to get used to the sifter nob.
I've always loved the Chrysler 300 and finally purchased a 2022 Frostbite Blu Touring L AWD...in my opinion it is the last of the American muscular sedans that will ultimately become a classic and icon in todays auto industry that is moving away from gas powered vehicles. Great video!
I am buying the 2019 300c Luxury. I am in Australia and waiting on my order to come through. Love these cars. Thanks for your excellent video. You did a great job of showing viewers through the car.
And no the 300 isn’t the most American it has some German parts and the company is owned by the Italians I heard the Toyota Camry is the most American sedan
I liked your comment because you're correct imo. I think mikey is talking about this 2006 Chrysler 300 is currently the most similar car to how American cars "used to be" "back in the day" "when cars were cool" .....I'm guessing on the model year......cus they all look the same......since Christ was a cowboy.....no offense to cowboys....
Boba Fett Scariest place!!!! I was there in a mall last year and no one even spoke English/French, everyone looked at me with scary eyes like I was about to get mugged because I was the only white one there. One of the most criminally active towns in Canada.
@@sakisvolanis5028 Brampton has largely been taken over by southeast asians and English/French speaking folk have become sick of their arrogance and have fled in droves! I was one of them!
Thanks Mike for a good review. The 300 still shares the old chassis of the E-Class I think?? Which is not a bad thing. I noticed that FCA is still part sourcing MB window switches etc as a friend just bought a new Jeep Cherokee and they are the same switches I had in my 2003 MB C-class. As for 50k? Yep, that is way too much BUT if you think of it has an older E-Class for less money then it may work. I would not pay 50K for it.
I got a 2018 300s a little over a year ago and it was priced at just under 39,000. I don't have sensors (which means no automatic speed adjust in cruise control or park assist), and I don't have automatic wipers. I'm not aware of any other features that I don't have compared to this model. I don't think those features are worth an additional 11k, but you might.
I love my 300. It’s one of the few cars that I can fit comfortably in (I’m 6’7”) I’ve had mine for 3 years now.
I'm 7 feet. I dont have to move my seat all way back and still have leg room!

billy mc I don’t know where you guys are looking but I found my 300 for only 21,990 almost 22 and it only had 8 miles
billy mc my 300 is also a 2019 for your information it was a good deal
billy mc only 21,990 for a 2019
I bought a new 2014 and put on 212,000 miles never had 1 issue. Good friend has a 2010 with 297,000 miles had to replace the fuel pump that's it. These are sweet cars perfect for highway driving
American sticker prices are just a suggestion. Discounts are heavy. The car looks great and that quietness is amazing.
Such an underrated car and much more reliable and durable than the brand stigma suggests. RWD, available V8 engine. Get one now before it gets discontinued, before the death of RWD V8 cars. Huge dicounts, brand new V8 are offered for $35k , V6 for $23k.
Yeah some people say it's "unreliable" because "iT's A ChRySLEr" but realize the Pentastar and HEMI paired with the ZF 8 speeds in these things are bulletproof together. Both the engines and tranny are proven to be great! Unfortunately most haters hate on this car when most of them probably just owned a LeBaron and immediately thinks the rest is garbage.
Fruitably YT nothing wrong with Lebarons.
Reliable !?😂😂😂 goodluck with the transmission going out electrical issues lol and other issues is gonna have
Mgoblagulkablong I’d say nearly every Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge or Ram after 2011 is more reliable than people think. Certainly the 300.
the 8 speed zf transmission is the best in the world.
Might be old, but still one of the best looking sedans out there
This car shines with a V8, I wish they would make the V8 standard and bring back the SRT-8.
Scott Mccauley The SRT-8 wasn’t a family car, it was a performance car. Some people enjoy having a V8 in their “family” car, gives them that taste of fun on top of value and utility. I’d imagine the insane power on the bigger 6.4l engine would mean more fun on top of utility. I currently have a 5.7 Charger and enjoy it, but I’d also enjoy a SRT-8 300 with modern specs and AWD.
Scott Mccauley It works well when they do, my Charger is AWD and helps in the winter, and the occasional off the line launch, cuts down on rear tire spin. 👌🏻👌🏻
Scott Mccauley For the most part the AWD is automatic, I wish they would make it controllable. Off for burnouts, on for snow. But yes V8 AWD Chargers needs to be the standard for their RT model or something.
When you're part of the "Fifty Something Club" like me, driving a Gentleman's Hot Rod is how it feels with my 2010 300C. Huge all the way around, 4 doors to lots of interior space including leg room, endless power and long distance cruising in beauty and style. Love the exhaust burble of the 5.7 at all speeds. Bought new and could care less about sad domestic resale value as this is a keeper with only our marks on it. To think Chrysler is dropping the 300 and will no longer offer a luxury flagship model is hard to take. WTH? Crossover...minivan....little FCA brick road toy car with pretty wheels or what??? NO WAY. Glad we've got what we got - so gorgeous and we're keeping it that way.
My husband has bought one red bright colour 2016 300 S , he got it with 10000 km for $Cad 28000! Add low profile 22 in velocity rims. He loves it and matching colour car seats covers
He is 6”2 and 225 lbs. it fits him perfectly. He used to drive a dodge neon.....for 17 years!! We are still figuring out buttons and features. Love it ...
Older German platform without all the German headaches.Win-win
Not a german platform

Yea a 50.000$ "luxury sedan" thats based on a 1995 Mercedes. How does it feel driving a 2019 luxury car that's based on our tech from 24 years ago? lmao sucks
Tobias Gebhardt it’s absolutely great for the base price of the Chrysler and charger. It not for 50k
Yup
I have 2014 300c. I love my car. My husband wasn't crazy about it at first...till his truck went into the shop. He started driving mine, he quickly changed his mind. With most manufacturers doing away with large sedans, I hope chrysler 300 sticks around, but i think its time for redesign. And bring back SRT!
Absolutely love the 300! Inside and out
I got this as a rental back in March and I’m still not over it
Alex same same , no joke , i fell in love
I’m an love with this car, I had leased it twice as much I love it, best handling best design best material, and am so Pissed off on chrysler for not making it anymore.
For $50,000 it should come standard with a Hemi!!
CarGurus has several new ones with hemi for around 30k
You can get a new 300 Touring for about 25 grand.

Scotty Kilmer has entered the chat......
Chrysler has left the chat.
Matthew Baquero F*** Scotty Kilmer, I absolutely hate that man and his bias towards Toyota and against virtually everything else!
But he speaks the truth....even my parents told me from a young age that Honda’s and Toyota’s make the best cars....all my mom drives are Honda’s. You won’t be able to drive a Chrysler for 15+ years....and as I am currently looking for a cheap car myself, can’t find a Honda with low mileage because they last at least 500,000 miles.
@@elijahfrancis3009 He only sounds truthful too people that don't know munch about cars.
@@kingjlinza FACTS
Scotty is braindead idiot.... talks shit about cars he has never owned..... and has no reasonable evidence to back up his statements
Remove the AWD and V6, add the Hemi and I will take it at $42K.
I honestly love the rotary shifter. I wasn't too sure in my 200 at first but you really get used to it quick and i find it makes the overall center consol layout alot cleaner.
Love the 300. I have a 2017 300s alloy edition and have never had a single problem. Even though gas mileage isn't the greatest it's a big heavy car that still draws attention to itself because of the design.
Had one for a rental for a week, it was a good car, awd did make a clunky noise from time to time which would concern me if I owned one. (my Escalade is awd and doesn't do this) other than that very comfortable and great driving experience.
If it was less than 39 degrees Fahrenheit it is the awd kicking in
I am not an American car guy. I love imports, having only owned Japanese and Korean cars. However, I had an accident last fall and was given a 300 as a rental for a week. I loved that car. It was quiet, smooth, and comfortable, and the handling was pretty great in comparison to most sedans these days. I honestly looked into purchasing one and found several good deals on a current year model year CPO but just couldn’t bring myself to bite the bullet because of the stigma around FCA vehicles being junk. I really wish Chrysler would get their life together and up their quality, because I would totally buy one of these (not for 50k but maybe high 30’s. )
Chrysler 3.6 pentastar is a pretty dependable engine
One of Wards top 10 and that's good.
I have a 2014 300S, 3.6 RWD which is basically identical . I think for most people, All Wheel Drive is a waste of money and gives much worse fuel economy. Honestly, my 300 will cruise all day from 60-80 mph and will give me anywhere from 31 to 33 mpg = courtesy of the 8-speed transmission It is truly amazing. I drove it from NJ to South Florida (1,200 miles) and I only used about 37 gallons of gas, or basically 2 fill-ups. I used to have a 2004 Mini Cooper S JCW with a manual and the mpg on my Chrysler is almost identical on the highway (and the cooper requires premium fuel, which the 300 doesn’t). I have had it for exactly 5 years, with less than 50k miles and I have had zero issues with it. If I had to do it again, I would much rather buy a used one or a demo, because this body style has been around since 2011, and the cars are basically identical (the earlier V8’s didn’t come with the 8-speed. My car drives great, with plenty of power, has had zero issues and costs very little to operate. Looks cool too, but I am really surprised that Chrysler hasn’t updated the basic car in NINE YEARS!!
looking to buy a used one, but most of the ones I am finding are AWD, not necessary since I live in TX. Most of the RWD are base models with no options. Thanks for the "review".
I got the V8s local with a 47k MSRP listed for $36k.
That's a good deal for a large v8 powered sedan.
I love it. Which i had one.
But that knob as a gear Shifter was a deal break choice they made.
It’s a $50,000 asking price - they discount that fairly heavily in the Miami area.
The 300 is the daily I wish to have. My mom had a 13 and I Love it! It also does not have the gloss black or the rotary knob. I also used to own an 05 Magnum and by far one of the best car I've owned. I'd say a fair price for what you're getting.
Bu bu bu bu but but Scotty Kilmer said...
Lex Zeus Ohhsixayessthreefiddy 😂😂 he don’t approved
Was I the only one looking for scotty comments saying not to buy Chrysler.
Scotty also said don't get an all American zero emissions brand and to never modify your car ever, despite his motorcycle being modified.
Rev up your Pentastar.........
Buy a Toyota Selica.
This is a nice car to clean coming from someone who worked detailing back in grade 10.
Always thought the 300 was a beautiful car.
$50,000 lol heck no. Like most cars buy a low mileage one that's a couple years old for about 50% off of original price.
stangtrax can get a Lexus for that money tbh better car nd reliable
If you could get a SRT 300 again with the 6.4 hemi 50k would be fair in my opinion
@@dillonhughesrt absolutely wish that was an option.
Dillon Hughes in Australia;)
Just rented one of these, maybe I set my expectations low, but it was a fine car.
And I see those selvedge cuffs...
It’s NOT worth $50k with that V6, for the same money you could have a KIA Stinger GT with more options and a nicer interior..
@The Terminator You'd be driving the better car, Plain and simple.
I miss the longer trunks. The shorter trunk opening makes it difficult if not impossible to load large objects.
I own one of those 300 and I really like them! I love the way that look perfect Style no need to change anything outside ,Very fast and powerful engine .the bad news they got 2 full pumps ,this year 50k , in about a year 20k second year 10k and then pretty much for free. So not worth it buying a brand new one .
Thank you for listening to my suggestion! Great video!
Underneath its a Mercedes W210 :)
Actually, its the urban legend. 2019 version doesnt have much in common with the mercedes. check it out
A relic from the DaimlerChrysler fiasco. I still can't believe FCA hasn't moved so far away from those troubled designs that no one would remember.
It’s not. It used Mercedes suspension but a new version of the LH platform called the LX. Stupid auto journalists thought that meant Mercedes architecture
Then it needs MB partnership for an update.
It's actually a W211 Mercedes.
i absolutely love my 2014 300s RWD its awesome! 160K Kms and shes still runnin with no issues
It just isn’t. Why lie about this? The 300 assembly plant is in Ontario!
Which is in North America
Built in my hometown of Brampton
9:19
@Benjamin Burkhardt Trump is a complete idiot
Carcaine, I just knew someone would make that OBVIOUS observation. 300s have been ALWAYS (since its '05 MY start) IMPORTED FROM ONTARIO and never assembled "over here". Just as "MoPar minivans " (300s / Chargers/ Challengers from Brampton, factory built by AMC, by the way, while the minivans from Windsor).
Main difference for using those Ontario towns (all of them Detroit suburbs) is not the quality, but the "loonies" as the Canadian dollar has historically been below the "buck" by a margin (right now a loonie is about U$0.76).
Bought a 2016 Chrysler 300 Anniversary Edition in 2016. Everything but a hemi & 4wd. Cost about 40k with taxes, etc. We just hit 50k miles. Resale is horrible. We will keep it for a long time. Babied in the garage when not driving it. Love the ride and the Beats speakers, subwoofer and the amp. So comfortable.
This is about $10,0000 over the MSRP.
$29,999 is more like it.
10,000 not 100,000
They are selling for that now.
I have a 2014 300C 5.7 with AWD ( last year with that drive train combo). Car is very nice and no mechanical issues. A friend has a 2012 with just over 300k on his.
Great cars and very happy to run over 100 mph, all day long! Worth every penny!
The 300 is dope. Great review. What shoes are those you're wearing?
The title is a joke right!? Honestly, i like this car, i seem them around in the S trim, and i think it looks great. Unfortunately, FCA choose to neglect it, it has poor safely scores, and bad reliability..if not for that, i'd really be into this car based on style alone haha
gladdy02 absolutely nothing wrong with its reliability. Quite with the fake news bs.
@@Welcometofacsistube I didn't know chrysler was the new lexus of reliability 😅😅
Other than trucks FCA products suck
gladdy02 better
gladdy02 if you are worried about reliability you simply cannot afford it stick to your price range
LMAO 🤣! Probably the most entertaining and hilariously done review of the Chrysler 300, (more to love my own 300)! The decibel reader and the trunk fitment did it for me. 🤣 I didn’t know about the feature of not being able to lock your keys in the car. 👍🏽Thank you for a well done review of my dream car!
"The american spirit of exporting the building process" LOL
I was hoping for this ending sequence:
Mike is talking about final assembly in Brampton, Roman walks on from behind Mike, taps Mike on the on the shoulder. - “Mike, don’t forget to mention that it’s got lots of components and some basic chassis architecture of a 15-year-old Mercedes Benz E class.”
Mike looks at Roman with confused look while Canadian flag is replaced with a German flag with a question mark. “Wait, what?” End.
Great car, but for 50k to much.
No one has paid that, ever, for a 300. Look at any listing, they are typically 15-20% off MSRP. EDIT: To be clear, I completely agree with you. I had a 2017 300S for a year and liked it quite a bit but it's absolutely without a doubt not worth anywhere near 50k (sticker was $52k)
50k new and two years later it’s worth like 18k
Just buy a 1 year old model with less than 20,000 miles for $25k. They might be ex-rentals but given that they're so cheap just add on an extended warranty for $2700. At that price point they're comfy, pretty fast and the Garmin based infotainment system works well.
Buy one pre owned, save 38 %
Val St that’s why everyone buys the scat pack now
If that’s the most American sedan we do need to make America great again
I like it
Good review
Good work
I would need a $20,000 rebate... Because that's how much I lose the first year I'd own it... It's a good looking car!
Mark Hoffman let's be real sir there ppl who will purchase a car and keep it past 100k miles so depreciation wouldn't even matter anyways ,
Still gorgeous. The EPA underrated it. My 15 C got 32mpg routinely on the highway. The S gets real dual exhaust on the v6 and v8. Uconnect is one of the best in the biz. Only downside is if you like any type of performance driving you can feel the weight. Build quality was beyond reproach. It took one day to get used to the sifter nob.
I've always loved the Chrysler 300 and finally purchased a 2022 Frostbite Blu Touring L AWD...in my opinion it is the last of the American muscular sedans that will ultimately become a classic and icon in todays auto industry that is moving away from gas powered vehicles. Great video!
Good video, but the v8 is the one you want
Love the design of the 300. Was going to buy one last year and found out they are plagued with electrical problems/
Anderson Rodriguez your a asshole is that all you do is talk shit you no nothing about. You sound so jealous, go troll some where else loser.
Replace "American" with "unreliable"
I am buying the 2019 300c Luxury. I am in Australia and waiting on my order to come through. Love these cars. Thanks for your excellent video. You did a great job of showing viewers through the car.
And no the 300 isn’t the most American it has some German parts and the company is owned by the Italians I heard the Toyota Camry is the most American sedan
@Joshua Loricchio Honda Accord?
Canada is in america...
I liked your comment because you're correct imo. I think mikey is talking about this 2006 Chrysler 300 is currently the most similar car to how American cars "used to be" "back in the day" "when cars were cool" .....I'm guessing on the model year......cus they all look the same......since Christ was a cowboy.....no offense to cowboys....

Most American car built on 5 gens old Mercedes e class platform 😂
One of the best reviews ive seen 👏👏👏
50k oh hell no!!!
Thanks Mike for a good review. The 300 still shares the old chassis of the E-Class I think?? Which is not a bad thing. I noticed that FCA is still part sourcing MB window switches etc as a friend just bought a new Jeep Cherokee and they are the same switches I had in my 2003 MB C-class. As for 50k? Yep, that is way too much BUT if you think of it has an older E-Class for less money then it may work. I would not pay 50K for it.

I got a 2018 300s a little over a year ago and it was priced at just under 39,000. I don't have sensors (which means no automatic speed adjust in cruise control or park assist), and I don't have automatic wipers. I'm not aware of any other features that I don't have compared to this model. I don't think those features are worth an additional 11k, but you might.
If you fold the rear seats down it is possible to haul an 8'-0" piece of lumber or two on the inside and close the trunk
It really is the most American Sedan manufactured in Canada that I know of.
