Got one as a loaner from a dealership cause they had messed up big time and just grabbed one off the lot to appease us. We had the car for 30+ days, and drove the hell out of it. We LOVED that 300S when we had it, and everyone that knew us commented how nice it looked when they saw it. (Gunmetal grey with the black rims). We would definitely consider buying one. To each their own.

I have the 21 and always get compliments about it and it’s the fastest car I ever owned so I love it!

It's crazy to hear someone routinely calling it a Slow Car when everybody who has a Mopar with the 3.6 that's teamed up with the ZF 8 speed Torque Flight talk about how quick it feels for being so big and only a V6. I have a 21 300 Touring L thats rated at less than the S with only 292 HP and the Throttle Response is so amazing combined with its quick Shifts and Steering reactions makes the car nimble and quick.

keep in mind that I drive a 5.0 Mustang, so my perception of how fast a car is (or not) is probably warped. :-) The 3.6L in the 300 is perfectly adequate for daily driving.

I personally love my heated and cooled cup holders and my heated seats in the front and rear seats. I personally love my paddle shifters in sport mode. I have lots of fun in brappy brap mode.

The good news is that it will be a lot more reliable than a BMW.

Interested in hearing what reliable, sporty alternatives might be to this 300 S. Thank you!

I have a 2015 Chrysler 200s with the 3.6L and AWD. I love it! The 200 is much smaller than the 300 (200 is built on same chassis as the Dodge Dart), so when you put that 3.6L in it I must say its a very quick car.

Great review as always Scott. I had the opportunity to drive a 2020 model when Hertz gave me one and I ended up driving it on a 5-hour trip from O'Hare to our home in Iowa. Did not have great expectations for it considering it is riding on an antiquated Mercedes chassis from the days before Mercedes dumped Chrysler. However, I will have to say it drove better than I thought it would (we did have some twisty roads to try) but still nothing to write home about. Also, the cheap plastic is so Chrysler, I remember the first time I checked out a Charger and it had cheap plastic that looked more at home in a cheap econobox, not an expensive premium full-sized car. Also did not like the lack of visibility in the review mirror, not as bad as some cars, but still not great.

Thanks! A 5 hour road trip would be pretty nice in the the 300 I think. It's a great cruiser, and even though it wasn't my style, I kind of wish I was able to spend a little more time with it. I also wish I would have expected the interior plastics to be as bad they were. It was a bit of a shock (even though I should have known better lol).

Chrysler broke it off with Mercedes. They weren't abiding by the original agreement as Daimler was getting nervous about the Viper and its competition that it would bring to their featured muscle car.

If you want more performance I’d highly recommend for Chrysler get the 300s 5.7 V8 or the newly 6.4 V8 300C . I just recently left the V6 2019 Chrysler touring (292HP ) for the 300s 5.7L ( 363HP ) it’s awesome love the power just the natural aspirated Hemi sound !.

how’s the gas mileage?

I went on a Mopar binge, coming off of a Nissan binge. I had a '08 Charger, a '16 Charger, and a '13 300S. I liked the '13 300S so much that I traded it in for a '22 300S with the Hemi engine. It's fast as hell. I have had bouts of irresponsibility, and have smoked numerous cars. Audio, Nissan, Mercedes, etc. When you get proficient at paddle shifting, it pushes. I had a 2016 Nissan Maxima Platinum, it's narrow compared to the 300. It cost me 44k for a fully loaded, Velvet colored car. Had to drive to Atlanta to get it. It was worth it, as I saved 13k. The dealerships in Jacksonville,FL wanted 57k for the same car, but I could not find one fully loaded, and in the color I wanted in the state of FL. I've had it for 11 months. I have been having too much fun driving it, as I need tires at 10,768 miles. You can do a breakstand wIth no effort. Hence me needing new tires. It's addictive.

Yes there is temp control buttons! Look on either side of the fan speed knob. The red UP and blue DOWN arrows.

Could it be a good family car (2 car seats)

Sport mode makes a huge difference

I bought one today. All the bells and whistles. Drove it home 100+ miles. Flawless and quick. I also have a 300c platinum hemi and the new one (6 cyl) is no performance slouch

I agree 100%. I own a 2023 Charger GT with the same 300 hp engine ( he stated the wrong engine output specs BTW), and it is NOT slow! Of course speed is relative. My Charger is A LOT quicker and faster than my wife's 2015 Rav4 Toyota with 173 hp . Any large sedan than can do a 14.7 in the 1/4 mile and top out at 131 mph ( computer limited!) is hardly slow.Test drive one and find out for yourself.

Scott, do you think a 2023 touring L with popular group is a good buy at 33k (US dollars) out the door? It's basically an S without a sunroof and "S" emblem on the seats, but it has various safety features. Besides a Chrysler, what other cars are comparable to the price that you like more? Thanks.

I own one of these. You're just a skinny dude. Chrysler/Mopar are built the the big and tall. Which you don't look big.

This car has 2 big advantages over the Charger...which is the same vehicle other than style.. Lower insurance rates and lower cost. You can find 1yr old off lease or off rental for low 20's...where Chargers will be high 20's to low 30's.

You forgot when you hit the throttle you double tap for the extra torque while in sport mode also make sure that your TC was off When using the paddle shifters from a stop first gear to second is 6500 rpm torque in the variable valve transmission doesn't actually kick in until about 33 to 3600 RPM I live up in Canada just south of the Edmonton area Calgary there The all-wheel drive is the perfect version alternative to an ok winter car simple the fact that it's all wheel drive but I personally wouldn't buy it can't fit my snowboard without having to put one of the back seats down

It's a rental car. What do you expect. I have saw a nicely appointed Chrysler 300 S. I'm sure there is an upgraded interior package. The one I saw had a set of factory chrome rims that really set it off. My cursory look at the interior left me an impression of luxury. My question was why didn't Chrysler offer this upscale look in the C?

Car engines give off a burning smell when you accelerate hard(when they heat up).

I bought a 22 Black 300S and pretty much disagree with most of what you complained about. Of course for the last 30 years I've driven pickup trucks. It's my first full size sedan and it's got a Hemi to boot. Mines all Black with dark tinted windows. It looks totally Badass, kinda like a Mafia staff car.....🖤🖤🖤💥💥💥💥

It definitely needs the V8. I drove a rental dodge challenger with the pentastar 3.6L V6 and it felt severely underpowered. Very comfortable car though

I’ve rode and driven so many other sedans and I have never thought the v6 Chrysler or charger was ever slow. I always thought it was a faster sedan💀
