2007 300C SRT8
I have waited 4 months and 4000 miles to write this review. 1st impressions on this car are fantastic and I wanted to be fair and include some of the things that I did not like. But I only really have 5 things to complain about and truthfully it’s hard to believe that they exist on a car like this. 1st is the key, it’s huge, people with jackets, or pocket books may not mind this, but for the guy that carries his keys in his pants pocket, it is huge. 2nd poor AM/FM radio reception, but hey it’s go satellite and it works great, 3rd no automatic trans mission dipstick/fill tube? I guess it’s one way to make sure we go back to the dealer, then again maybe Chrysler is experiencing pollution in the fluid. 4th, no volt meter? 5th The horn button, I can’t believe that they put such a cheesy horn button on a car like this.
Now the good, don’t let the above stop you from buying this car. I have heard this car referred to as a 4 door Vette, and while I’m sure that this offends the Vette people, It’s a pretty good way to describe the car. I’m sure it’s not as fast or does not corner as well as some of the newer Vettes., but then again I don’t think a Vette with 4 people in it aren’t going to beat you.
I’m 56 years old and really wanted a Vette. Now we all know what we think when we see an old guy in a Vette, plus my wife needs a trunk (2 suit cases for the week end) plus the mother-in law, etc.
As far as performance This car is FAST, it does handle quite well for a 4200 LB car, and it stops as well as it accelerates, did I mention that I love the brakes? Oh, buy the way, the brakes are really great. The car is a ball to drive, and yes, when you turn it on, it returns the favor.
I live in Pennsylvania and have been caught in the snow, and this car with these tires (Goodyear F! tires) does not like the snow.
As far as the rest of the car goes, you should know these cars are loaded, and I’ll only hit the highlights.
The Nav is one of the nicer that I have been around except for loading information (Does not have a touch screen)
I absolute love the memory keys, program it and when you start the car after someone else has driven it the seat, pedals, and outside mirrors all return to your settings automatically.
HVAC with automatic dual climate control is fantastic.
Sound system is super at low volume levels.
I love the lights at night.
It’s a little on the stiff side (ride wise), but really is only hard to live with on really bad concrete.
As with any low car you have to be mindful of the front body work around dips and curbs.
13.5 MPG City ( I mean city driving, stop, go ½ block, stop)
16 MPG Spirited driving on country roads
22 MPG Interstate at 80 MPH.
The car really drive nice.
I think I could talk this car for hours, I just absolutely love it and would buy another. I see no reason not to own this car unless the ride height of the car is an issue, or if you live in a snow belt. (Even if you put winter tires on it the car is only 5” off of the ground). I don’t think I would want my 16 year old and his buddies running around town in it.
As you know I bought this car on eBay and the only thing better than this car is the people I bought it from.
The seller was “bill direct” located in Wytheville, Virginia and I would not hesitate to buy another car from them.
