33 year old car guy here, and the 300S is pretty much the perfect car in my opinion (the non-S models do look pretty geriatric). It's a big body, Mercedes-derived sedan with an easy to tune, big American pushrod V8. It's super comfortable. The blackout trim makes it look menacing. The UConnect is so well-done it feels natural. It handles well enough for a luxury cruiser. It's a big car but it doesn't feel like a big car (i.e., you don't feel like you're sitting in a cockpit with miles of dashboard in front of you). It has digital gauges that tell you oil, coolant, and transmission temperatures in REAL TIME. And best of all, it's fast. You can tell Chrysler still employs some gearheads!

Can't beat the value of these things. Especially for the lightly used ones

Pretty impressive 0-60 from a v6 car weighing 4k lbs...

As I'm commenting Chrysler just announced the 2023 model year is the last for the 300, and i'm shocked to how well its aged. The basic design has been around for 12 years and it still is comfortable and powerful. Sad to see it will be the final full-sized sedan to roll off the assembly line.

I have 2015 300limited and it is perfect in every aspect i love it, i am happy that i decided to buy chrysler

Have owned 1 of these beauties since 2013, the pentastar is good, but add a aftermarket exhaust system, Turbo, remap the engine management and it becomes GREAT, Oh it is quicker then 6.6 0-60 also. cheers from Australia

Chrysler Has Been On A Role Since 2008. This Car Is One Of The Best CARS On The Market. Luxurious, and The whole Interior Is Leather. For People Saying That Chrysler Is Ruined My Fiat. Fiat Started Helping Them In 2009. And look At There Cars Before Then. And Look At The Now That Fiat Has Them. Enough Said . Fiat Has Also Improved. All These Haters Of Chryler. Chrysler Is Not A Luxury Brand. Deal With It.

I purchased a used 2018 Chrysler 300S with the all wheel drive in February. I absolutely love the car and as of this writing I have put nearly 5900 miles on the car. I love the look of a big sedan and with the S model you get a dash of sport.

These are quite popular in Detroit

Personally, I like how the 300 SRT8 is understated compared to the Charger.

I'm a big fan of the 300/Charger. A big sedan that is comfortable, can have power, and is attractive. Plus they may not necessarily break the bank. I've had a 2012 Charger SXT and can honestly say the initial 31 MPG highway it was given is legitimate. I currently have a 2018 Charger R/T and have seen 28 MPG highway at the tail end of a long 600 mile trip to the east coast. And I have never reset my MPG calculator. And these cars were and are trouble free. Chrysler built winners with these and they are the new Crown Vics in terms of long term tweaking and reliability.

The original Chrysler 300 Letter Cars from 1955-1965 were so much better!!! I have been inside these cars and they are not that roomy and not that comfortable. Lincoln and Cadillac were a lot better. Even the older 90s 300's were nicer and more comfortable than these new ones.
