  • After 12 years of being on the market the #chrylser300 is being retired. Luckily I get a chance to review the #300c with the 6.4L #hemi #v8 . Is this rwd #sedan still relevant in todays changing market? I think it is more relevant now than it was a decade ago.

    It’s ancient but it’s fun. I mean that 6.4L v8 and zf 8 speed combo are perfection

    Nice ride. I have a 2020 300S 5.7L. Use 93 E0 almost exclusively, meaning some areas only have 93 E10 (I add an ethanol fuel additive). I can peg 34 mpg on level highways with the cruise control set at the speed limit. Averaging 18 mpg combined driving. Still less than 15,000 miles - dealers are after me to trade it. A number of 300Cs sitting on dealer lots around the nation....

    Kirk, I love the engine sound except the lack of pops and crackles and the disconnected driving dynamics. What other cars would you recommend that would check these boxes? CTS-V? I don’t mind a 6 cylinder or even smaller if it means I get all of the above (Hyundai N-line? GR Corolla?)

    If you’re going to make a video on a car, try taking a look at options on it before hitting record. If you cared to highlight the Drive Modes on it, you would’ve seen how the driving dynamics and shift-points and sound with the transmission options would’ve heavily changed the sound and feel of the car. Also, you just compared this to a Mazda 6? 🤦🏻‍♂️

    I think calling it a luxury car misses the mark, because it simply doesn't measure up to other luxury cars. It's also not the same price. It's just a nice, normal car. It's not over-styled, and it looks like an adult would drive it. It's a great dad car.

    It is sad that classic american sedans are dieing. Me, as a european, always love the old and more modern TV Shows where you are able to see classic american sedans.
    These floaty boaty sedans.
    I wish they would get a comeback.
    Now that are american car brands know build quality and make cars reliable and efficient, they deserve and need a comeback.
    With turbo 4, V6/R6 turbo, or electric. Or smaller V8? 😅 They have to come back!

    I feel like i'd be better off sticking with my current Jaguar STR(supercharged V8). I was doing some research and the power/weight ratio favours the Jag, being at least 1000lbs lighter and only 85 less hp. 🤔

      it's a very unnecessary car. I mean v8 in a basic looking car for what? Not meant to go fast not meant to look nice neither. Just basic car with a v8 that chugs gas unnecessarily.

They also make the crappy Chargers and Challengers there too. Think the plant will be shuttered soon as all 3 of these are going EOL.

      I own 2 300's and build quality has been great. No rattles, nothing coming loose and I have 275,000 on my '06. They're solid, reliable cars and the factory they're made in is probably the best one Stellantis has. But unless you own one you won't know now will you?
