  • Taking a look at the 2018 Chrysler 300S model! The Chrysler 300 model has been around since 2005, offering luxury and performance at an affordable price. This model has the 3.6L Pentastar V6 and is RWD. I tried to do a comprehensive review, exploring the car inside and out, and determining whether this model is outdated or still worth buying today!

    Love my 300 S. This is my second one. I traded a Mercedes SUV for my second 300 and have no regrets. More power and room. Beautiful car and a very happy 300 Owner.

    FYI - did a 120 mike trip from Tucson to Phoenix in my 2017 300 (Hemi) - averaged 28mpg averaging 75mph. Couldn’t believe that. FCA doesn’t ever have the budgets to do crazy innovative stuff, but they have same damn decent bones to work with.

    • @Dialysisforever
      @Dialysisforever 6 лет назад +1

      I just drove my 2018 5.7 300 S from Portland Oregon, through Washinton, Idaho, Montana and into Wyoming, all while getting just over 26mpg. The route took us through mountain ranges and the speed limit varied from 55 to 80 mph.

    We just paid $24,000 US for a new 2018 300 Touring with a sport appearance package that makes it look just like the S (minus the rear spoiler and fog lights). I was really skeptical about its quality and how it would perform in the real world but we couldn't be happier with it. It's a lot of car for what we paid.

    • @ExauRockz
      @ExauRockz 6 лет назад +1

      how does it look like an S without the spoiler and fog lights? what else does the S have that aint that?

    • @GentlemanbigDick
      @GentlemanbigDick 5 лет назад +3

      Sorry paul Martin but you should of gone with an S model. The S has tuned suspension, true dual exhaust system, paddle shifters, comes lower than any other trim, has sport button and sport on the shifter for tighter suspension and stiffer wheel, comes with tuned engine from factory pushing 300hp, the DRL fogs definitely are an eye catcher.

    I love the 300 series! I had an '06 300C w/ the HEMI; and I'd still have it, if my wife hadn't written it off. If Chrysler wants to make the 300 series a leader in sales again, they *MUST* do the following:
    - Drastically reduce the weight! I mean a LOT! Use modern aluminium, carbon, titanium, or whatever sturdy but light materials available. Just reduce the weight, without making it a smaller car. It can be done!!!
    - Improve the 5.7L HEMI, so that it provides more power (North of 400 HP) and torque (match the HP). There's also no reason why it can't be mated with an electronic Stop/Start system, which would dramatically improve city driving mileage.
    - Improve the transmission! Minimum: 8-speed. 'Nough said!
    - Let's start mating the drive train with an additional power source... an electric drive, which can not only provide additional power, but which can further improve fuel mileage. After reducing the weight of the vehicle, it should give some room for the electric motors and batteries.
    - Stop using cheap interior plastics! If the Germans, Koreans and Japanese can it, then so can North American automakers.
    - Do all of the above, without increasing the price of the car!
    Do all of the above; and they'll sell more 300's than any other car.

      @brycmtthw 5 лет назад +1

      Mick Psyphon good, fast and cheap. Pick two.
      Re: weight. You can’t reduce it too much without compromising overall safety. Interior materials are up to par in the newer 2011+ models. The 8 speed is standard from 2015+. In theory, they could add the eTorque system from the 2019 Ram 1500/Wrangler to the L series cars.

  • @robo08ify

    I own a white 2013 300 Glacier Edition. It’s based on the ‘S’. Only made one year and only available in AWD and 300 hp 3.6L v6. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly it moves with this engine and drivetrain combo. My next one is going to be the RWD with the hemi, though.

  • @pasqualinoversace3886

    Beautiful 👌🏼 I have the old school 2005 300c. Still love it.. thinking of getting the 2017 or 2018 maybe next year when price drops a bit. But I'll still keep my 2005 300c..only has 90,000km's.
    Thanks for the video mate👍🏼

    You have to remember the car is considered a "notchback", so your complaint of a small truck is invalid. I think the trunk is very spacious.

      I love Chrysler too! And I love the 300. My next one will be a 300C. I don't give a fuck about the "old" platform, that Car has still a awesome ride quality and a beautiful Design. It has more character then the most competitors and they refreshed it very good over the years.
      Mopar or no Car!

    You lost me at 3.6L. Still though, good review. I'm on my 2nd 300. Currently own a 13 300c 5.7L with a custom exhaust. Not much has changed with the exterior/interior but still a nice car 🤙🏼

    • @dougbonner4722
      @dougbonner4722 4 года назад +1

      Love the Hemi, downfall with the 5.7 and 6.1 are petrol consumption at high gas prices here in the great white north. You can literally watch the gauge fall, haha. Not the best everyday option which is why I went with the 300S 3.6L RWD. Still, a fun car to drive!

  • @Mr5Stars
    @Mr5Stars 6 лет назад

    Solid Review! With FCA possibly getting rid of Chrysler, this may be a semi collectors item as the 'Last rear wheel drive American big sedan'..... when future generations are driven by self driving electric appliance vehicles :-)

    • @Micktaylorify
      @Micktaylorify 4 года назад

      I wouldn’t hold my breath on that happening any time soon. As long as there is oil and natural gas in the ground(of which there is an almost inexhaustible source, according to British Petroleum)people are going to buy gasoline combustion engines. It’s cheap and easy to fix and it’s what people know.
      As far as electric cars go, they’re adequate for urban CITY driving. But for ANYWHERE else in the world, especially trying to tow something, not so much. My advice, for what It’s worth, don’t waste your money. And as for “self driving cars” ... I saw one in an old Jean-Claude Van Dame movie once; thought it was tacky and terrible then and I still think it’s tacky and terrible now(the CAR, not the movie. Overacting is art). People will not give up that kind of fundamental control to a microchip. I know that I wouldn’t, when I buy a car “I” want to drive it!

      Mass market modern cars don’t work that way... look at the Prowler and early Viper for example... not discontinued low volume cars, their values are less than new when adjusted for inflation.
