LOL. What scares me is that cars produced to day are so over-engineered that they almost drive themselves. The average driver may not know how to really drive the car once they are in a dangerous situation. Maybe some of the technologies account for this. Give me a 71 VW with manual everything any day!
Your steering will be alot tighter if you push the sport button on the dash so the green flag pops up in the instrument cluster. Sport on the dial knob keeps the transmission revs higher so do both for added performance!!
it didn't have the sport mode button on the dash, I was thinking the same thing... I have 2016 300s that has ALL the bells and whistles including ballistic glass... My 300s handles like champ, I have ran down some R/T and SRT on the highway.
That Pentastar can be pretty quick at times. We have the same engine in our '14 Jeep Grand Cherokee (which just turned over 161k miles, BTW, and has been VERY reliable as well). It's especially fun when you put it into Sport Mode. :)
They've done a pretty good job updating it (the Jeep Grand Cherokee is another vehicle that dates back to the DaimlerChrysler Days, and we had a 2005 model GC before we traded it on a 2014 model GC, and the 2014 WK2 is like night and day when it comes to the differences between it and the 2005 WK). The new JGC is due to debut in the next month, I believe, IF it doesn't get delayed again.
Not Mercedes, never was. It was a new generation of Chrysler large cars, like the intrepid. Was developed to use Mercedes suspension transmission and some parts bin stuff. All Mercedes stuff has since been removed due to the separation of the companies.
@@pedrofernandez8729 unless you get your news from allpar or mopar insiders, where you can talk to the people who engineered the vehicles in the first place. I will concede that the grand Cherokee was developed on a Mercedes platform.
If you don't like how slow the steering is take it to an alignment shop and tell them you want a quicker steering response and they can adjust it to be a bit more responsive.
There are 3 mode you can set for the steering wheel response if you have the S trim: normal, sport and comfort. Put in normal or sport you can feel the steering way more stiffer
I have a 300 like this. I don't drive like this guy did because I own it and want to get the most out of the engine. Drive like this guy won't take long to get a ticking. I preserve the power for emergency situations so it's always great to watch these videos
I like the "dated" styling myself. It looks like some of the older American semi-luxury sedans with V8s and RWD. It has a fully leather interior, a dual pane panoramic sunroof which is absolutely huge and back window sun shade screen which is usually on 55k+ cars and often times only ends up in high end luxury sedans and it only cost 44k for a fully loaded top of the line model which now got discontinued sadly so no more "C" trim. But lower end models are still nearly as nice and are much cheaper. This isn't a luxury sedan, just a normal full sizer like an Impala or Avalon so not meant to have a BMW or Mercedes quality interior.
@@private6549 Agree. I think the 300 is one of the better looking cars on the market, at any price. I like traditional 3 box sedans, and the 300 is one of the boxiest. Yesterday, I saw one of the first generation 300s, in beige, with the egg crate grill, and thought that is a great looking car.
It's so reconfigurable too! We have it in our '14 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and there's tons of stuff you can show on it. We tend to keep the digital speedo with the analog-style graphics (as there's only a mechanical tach).
Christopher Calder: ya the digital speedo reminds me of some luxury brands, the clock also you sometimes find in some Chrysler vehicles has that kind of feel to.
Have the AWD v6 in 300s for a few years and I love it, love driving it. It drives primary RWD, but AWD kicks in when weather conditions permit and when engaged in sport. its was 50k new, Got a very good steal on it used. Its a rare trim and dealer was not aware. Came with two luxury packages special installed fully loaded, some features that the more luxurious C trim doesn't even have, a black tri coat metallic paint that can only be purchased at the dealer. 8 speed version. Top of the line features that are in the luxurious trim and more put in the the S version. It has been very reliable, I'm expecting it to make it past 200,000 like my last 300. Just had a minor leak due to a defective part, but its part of owning a Chrysler product. 90000 miles, drives like it has 40,000. A lot of people who drive or own this car, do not speed in it.. or think its slow because its big. Or scared. its a very intimating car to drive. I've driven commercial trucks and even the last generation 300. I was a bit nervous when I first got in it to take it home. I had gotten soo used to driving a Toyota. Everyday driving this car is a learning curve. Its a monster if you can drive it to its capabilities, I burnt an Audi last week.. he saw me speeding, he tried to speed more... I bent a crazy corner off the exit, caught up to him at the light. Audi could not believe it. I could not believe it, a big ass boat that accelerates/handles this well! People sleep all the time! You compare it to the Japanese, their handing and steering is made for anyone/everyone to be able to drive their cars easily! The 300 is made to float, like a classic American car! That gives you a feeling of your own car driving you! And you are in full control! Selecting sport power steering on your indash settings will give you a tighter feel. Which i do. Its off by default. It helps a lot, but wont get you as tight as Japanese. You were also not a fan of sport mode, I also was not, but you haven't driven it long enough! or used in situations! I'm always in Sport now that I'm used to it! Its lagging cause its ready to go! You were off the gas when it was ready to shift.. Nice review i enjoyed it!
Have the vehicle tuned and the throttle map adjusted. These 300's can indeed have instant response times but the delay in the vehicle tuned must be reduced. Also there is a thing called "Peddle Follower" that it may have.
Good review. I have a 2016 300 Limited. It's a fantastic highway car. I have also noticed a little bit of hesitation when asking the car to pick up speed, but once the transmission finds the right gear, it's off to the races. BTW, in 8th gear, the car doesn't get to 2K RPM's until about 94 mph. I don't really drive mine in the city very much, however it's always my first choice for a road trip.
I have a '14 300 S and car does pretty good for being 4000 pounds. I have AWD also which done really great in the recent snow storm we had. I have issues with the car such as flex pipe on exhaust leaking got replaced. The "in famous" oil housing / so called cooler unit leaking oil which part is on back order at dealer.
These cars are definitely fun to drive! If you turn your steering wheel setting to “Sport”, your steering will be tighter. The default steering mode is “Normal” so you have to manually change it to sport but it definitely tightens the steering.
This was one of my options from the enterprise at my dealership while i was having warranty work done on my grand Cherokee it was either this or grand caravan but i chose neither I’m saving the rental car for when i need major repairs on my Jeep Grand Cherokee with 250k miles I extended my warranty for 10k more
Is your GC a WK2 (2011-Present) model? We have a 161k on our 2014 with the 3.6 V6. It's been a great vehicle, and I'm thinking of trading it on a 2018 or newer model just due to the mileage.
@@jeepguy95 mines a 2013 I bought mine from a dealership that has a 20 year 200k miles warranty but my service advisor extended it for 30,000 more miles.
I have 15mm spacers on my 2016 v6 300 fixes that turn just spot on haven't those on the front. I also have 9.5 inch wide tires which is why I needed to. Been 3 years everyone loves it
If you ever get an airport rental and go 'luxury' anywhere in the usa, you can always expect getting one of these.... Had them several times, felt like a total rip off.
It’s a large sedan with a lower steering ratio than cars you’re talking about. Should be expected in a way just doesn’t turn as sharp, my guess is because the caster angle on it, at full lock the wheels really lean
The Pentastar V6 is not a great engine, but the 8 speed Chrysler transmission is great. I owned one for a few years. So many engine misfires after multiple tuneups. I went back to Chevy. The Chevy V6 3.6 the engine is great but the 6 speed transmission is made of glass. I wish there was an option for the Chevy 3.6 V6 and the Chrysler 8 speed transmission in a car. That would be make a fun reliable car.
My cousin invited me to test drive a 2012 Chrysler 300 V8. He was so inclined to switch from his V6 to a V8 and once we hit the highway he revved it up and we went pretty fast the look on his face was excitment. He ended getting a 2018 Chrysler 300s V8 months later.
He thinks this is quick LMAO, he's used to driving non-American POS Piss-On Crawltimas probably, or Shamry's.... a HEMI he'd probably have to clean the seat after he was done LOL
Love this one.... So glad the 300 is still a viable option. I would go buy a new one for a slightly used one today if my wife liked them. Which she does not. The lines on the back up camera that turn left and right when you turn the wheel. I have heard people refer to that as trajectory
The commentary gives the impression of someone who simply MUST find something to criticize even if it's made up BS. The 300 is not a "sports car". Doing the research is not always a bad thing...
Handling "precision" isn't the fault of the car, it's the fault of the driver. If you're not secure and safe driving a car with light power steering or steering play in the ratio that's cuz you're a poor driver.
I love my 300 number 3 for me......BTW THEY ARE NOT AMERICAN. THEY BUILT IN CANADA Brampton Ontario to be exact all 3 cars. 300 all makes charger and challerger I have 😆 been there to see my 2019 300 s being built. I am Canadian
I have for 11 year, a old rusty ford focus 2010. I need a new car with more rear space for my 2 childrens. I was hesitate in a 300s or a taurus because Im a car guy, suv are not my thing. After see this, I will get a 300s. It sound good and it seem more fun to drive than a taurus.
One puts out 292 hp an the Sport package does around 300-305 hp.. i have heard the 300S has true dual exhaust and the othet has single then splits off into dual through a Y pipe i beleive..
the s on the dial shifter puts it into sport mode. i have a 2019 300c v8 and that’s how it works. you can use either the button or the dial. the paddle shifters work whenever you want.
@@djhaloeight nah bro you gotta put all three on for max power trac button sport mode button and turn the dial to s and if u dont want to use the shifters hold down shift for 3sec to 5 secs it will put it back to full auto
Looks smooth, I'm thinking of getting th v8 model...Excellent Excellent video, very detailed! And most dodge vehicles in my opinion have the same exact looseness to the steering, it's very comfortable for me , most high end cars have very loose steering
Ooooh tough choice! I'd go Charger, but only because I like the styling more. They are both amazing vehicles to drive, so you can't go wrong. Good luck with your purchase!
They are both the same platform and offer some of the same engine choices (3.6l and 5.7l). The 300 is more luxurious where as the Charger is more sporty and muscly.
If you want fuel economy, comfortable ride, AWD and reasonably priced, go with the 300 in the V6. If you go with the V8, go with the Charger - ideally the 6.4. I have a 300s AWD V6 and though I love it, I wish I would have gone with a V8 Charger but ONLY because I like the rumble of a V8 and wanted to do a custom exhaust setup. However, the V6 300 is plenty fast and I rarely even get to use its full power anyway. I'm up to freeway speeds within just a few seconds anyway and rarely do I have the room to do much more. So deep down, think about what is going to make your car the most enjoyable for you to drive and follow that path. Hope you find something you love!
Unfortunately your fingers have to write the dumb stuff your brain tells them to. The car doesn't have drive by wire steering lol. It has a mechanical steering shaft just like every other car in the world. The steering is assisted by an electric power steering module instead of your traditional belt driven power steering pump. Even if the electric motor fails will be the same as a power steering pump failure which will result in hard steering at low speeds. Drive by wire means there is no physical connection such as a throttle cable which is done by an electric signal instead. There will ALWAYS be a physical connection from the steering column to the rack which means there will always be mechanical steering.
In 2021 its inexcusable for any car or suv to have bus-like steering, a close ratio steering system is priceless. There should be no need to turn the wheel 2 time just to make a U turn.
Just recently got rid of a 2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum AWD. (3.6L) I had about 60K miles on it. Asides from tires and brakes I didn't spend any money on it but the thing had at least 5 recalls and the back up camera was replaced twice under warranty. Had I kept it longer I think it would have been a money pit. Wish I had went with a V8 even though you give up AWD. V8s are exceedingly rare here in Canada though.
@@jonk9957 I have a ' '14 and it has 115k on it just had to have flex pipe on exhaust replaced and the oil filter housing/cooler is leaking oil and the part is on back order at car.dealer.
Golly you just couldn’t get over the steering huh? When you’re driving a big heavy car like this. You don’t want that. You’ll be lurching all over the place. I have a S and when you put it in sport mode (dash button) the steering response changes quite a bit. High speeds it moves way to much to easily for me

Exactly
@@hurdleking_4008 don’t lie
You shouldn't have to push a button to make the car steer properly.

What’s really the difference between the 3.6s vs a regular 3.6
One puts out 292 hp an the Sport package does around 300-305 hp.. i have heard the 300S has true dual exhaust and the othet has single then splits off into dual through a Y pipe i beleive..
Also the "Sport Mode"
the s is for the shifter, the shifters behind the wheel, and sport mode is a button on the dash under the screen
S means shifter in every car. Surprising he didn't know that.
the s on the dial shifter puts it into sport mode. i have a 2019 300c v8 and that’s how it works. you can use either the button or the dial. the paddle shifters work whenever you want.
@@djhaloeight nah bro you gotta put all three on for max power trac button sport mode button and turn the dial to s and if u dont want to use the shifters hold down shift for 3sec to 5 secs it will put it back to full auto
Chrysler isn’t an American company anymore they are a joke
this gotta be in MN
I've done top speed on my 2021 4runner which is 115 and it was planted stable. This car should easily hit 130 and still feel stable.
It does.
Get WIDER tires! The stock ones are always too skinny for these boats.
Looks smooth, I'm thinking of getting th v8 model...Excellent Excellent video, very detailed! And most dodge vehicles in my opinion have the same exact looseness to the steering, it's very comfortable for me , most high end cars have very loose steering
Fancier Dodge Charger, and the poor man's Rolls Royce and Bentley.
Dodge Charger for white collars office workers and retirees who basically want a Camry but need something Murican
Still it doesn't mean its a bad car. Audis are for example fancier Volkswagens.
Try sport mode stop light to stop light or from a dead stop accelerate on to the highway.
I like this car a lot. I really like FCA even tho there not all that reliable.
Looking forward to the full review! The 300s and Dodge Charger are my two contenders for my next car.
Ooooh tough choice! I'd go Charger, but only because I like the styling more. They are both amazing vehicles to drive, so you can't go wrong. Good luck with your purchase!
Go hemi also lol you wont regret it!!
They are both the same platform and offer some of the same engine choices (3.6l and 5.7l). The 300 is more luxurious where as the Charger is more sporty and muscly.
If you want fuel economy, comfortable ride, AWD and reasonably priced, go with the 300 in the V6. If you go with the V8, go with the Charger - ideally the 6.4. I have a 300s AWD V6 and though I love it, I wish I would have gone with a V8 Charger but ONLY because I like the rumble of a V8 and wanted to do a custom exhaust setup. However, the V6 300 is plenty fast and I rarely even get to use its full power anyway. I'm up to freeway speeds within just a few seconds anyway and rarely do I have the room to do much more. So deep down, think about what is going to make your car the most enjoyable for you to drive and follow that path. Hope you find something you love!
@@nathanthreeleaf4534 You can get the 5.7l on the 300 so I still don't see a reason to go Charger.
Chrysler should gift me new 2021 😂😂😂😂❤️
Awesome video and happy new year Jerry! Glad to see you back!😸
Happy New Year Ryan!
They still make that shitbox?
dislike for CNN
Better to take off from Sport mode.. Way better than D
How much IS The 2014 Chrysler 300 s ?
sorry, I'm old school
Try the V-8, you'll fall in love with it!
Still slow 🐌 😴 top speed limited governor 120 to 126 but nice car
You and I have VERY different concepts of "slow" my friend. :)
Lol 😆 🤣 slow 🐌 as of governor limited to 120 to 126mph...without the governor top speed 155mph to 165mph are so 🔥 faster...
I confusied between maxima and chrysler 300 .. which one would u advice ?
300
300 unless the maxima in question is a platinum. The interior of the platinum can’t be touched by the 300s
You have to test sports mode at 0 to start
Mechanical steering > drive by wire.
Unfortunately your fingers have to write the dumb stuff your brain tells them to. The car doesn't have drive by wire steering lol. It has a mechanical steering shaft just like every other car in the world. The steering is assisted by an electric power steering module instead of your traditional belt driven power steering pump. Even if the electric motor fails will be the same as a power steering pump failure which will result in hard steering at low speeds. Drive by wire means there is no physical connection such as a throttle cable which is done by an electric signal instead. There will ALWAYS be a physical connection from the steering column to the rack which means there will always be mechanical steering.
He's annoying
Slow
If it was a V8.🙃
Car tops out at 119mph. 👍🏽
hit 130 in mine
I topped out 120 in my v6. Cant get it to push higher even with heavy mods
Top speed in mines 136
I got to 132 with more to go. Factory.
@@startingQB ya was gonna say mines stock as bones 2016 300s with 8speed transmission and on a closed track i hit 211kph = 131mph
Was in a 300s awd and it was slower that a se charger but the 300 is very nice on the inside
300S AWD is also a fair bit heavier than a Charger.
@@Andassaran ill always prefer the new 300 over the chargers
300s AWD is pushing 300 hp SE Charger that is 292, I burn them all the time
great review !
great video!
How do you compare it to the Impala?
Fuck the impala #300gang
Haha 8:21 🤪
That's a very ugly vehicle
In 2021 its inexcusable for any car or suv to have bus-like steering, a close ratio steering system is priceless. There should be no need to turn the wheel 2 time just to make a U turn.
You can change the power steering in the settings and he probably has it on comfort.
Just recently got rid of a 2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum AWD. (3.6L) I had about 60K miles on it. Asides from tires and brakes I didn't spend any money on it but the thing had at least 5 recalls and the back up camera was replaced twice under warranty. Had I kept it longer I think it would have been a money pit. Wish I had went with a V8 even though you give up AWD. V8s are exceedingly rare here in Canada though.
Too bad Chryslers are such lemons
My 2015 has 289k miles on it
@@natnaelgaim6206 have you had any issues with it? My 2014 has 110k on it so just curious lol
@@jonk9957 I have a ' '14 and it has 115k on it just had to have flex pipe on exhaust replaced and the oil filter housing/cooler is leaking oil and the part is on back order at car.dealer.
@@charlessanders1342 I haven't had any issues with mine yet but, those things you mentioned I should probably take a look at lol
Golly you just couldn’t get over the steering huh? When you’re driving a big heavy car like this. You don’t want that. You’ll be lurching all over the place.
I have a S and when you put it in sport mode (dash button) the steering response changes quite a bit. High speeds it moves way to much to easily for me
