The Chrysler 300c, Cadillac DeVille, and Lincoln Town Car were the last three luxury cars where you could measure the amount of cargo space in the trunk by how many dead bodies you could stuff into the trunk.

Don't forget The Ford Crown Victoria and The Mercury Grand Marquis, they weren't luxury cars but they had the same about of trunk space also.

Considering the fact that luxury cars are moving towards trucks and SUVs, I think you could fit an entire graveyard inside an Escalade ESV.

@@badlydrawncars6460 Probably. I just miss seeing a true luxury car instead of the smart phones on wheels that make up our automotive industry. If I could choose any personal luxury coupe; I would be torn between either a 1977 Chrysler Crown Cordoba or a 1978 Mercury Cougar XR7 Midnight Chamois. In terms of styling; the 1970's was the best decade for personal luxury coupes.
My 05 Magnum R/T is in the process of getting a new heart, headers and a free flow exhaust. I can't wait to get her back..

@@jakey20022 I thought the eagle started in late 2010 models? But I was definitely planning for the eagle instead of rebuilding mine.
I almost bought a magnum in 06 but I didn’t think the station wagon look would age well so I got a charger 06 rt. Still driving it to this day. Runs great, no check engine light, no funny noises and still hauls ass. I can still run 13’s at the track
I want a 300 in black with the 5.7. It is like my achievable dream in the next few years car. For me they always looked luxury and strong.

I just got one in black! I hope you got yours. It’s an incredible car.
Have 300c identical to the one on Motor Week video, great car, have had for 9 years, no major problems, near perfect condition 170k miles, doing full restoration in 2018 looking forward.
I owned a MAGNUM R/T from July 2005 -OCT.2010, and now i own a 300C ! GREAT CARS !

the LX platform cars platform is based on the 1996-2002 Merc E-class, its a solid product from chrysler. Gives it a an affordable competitive RWD
I love my 300C! Luxury, smooth ride, kicking stereo a 5.7 Hemi that allows you to laugh at ricers as they choke on your dust!
I have a 2009 Chrysler 300 with the 3.5 motor. I bought it new. I have 237,000 miles on it now with the original engine and transmission. It’s a good car overall but I hade replace the water pump twice so technically it’s on its 3rd water pump in a 12 year period. Plus I noticed for the past 5 years that the engine eats up oil. Doesn’t leak oil but just eats it. I use full synthetic oil, so when it hits 3,000 miles after a oil change, the oil on the dipstick sits at minimum so I go get another oil change. Other than those two issues, it runs great. Plus I change (not flush) the transmission fluid every 30,000 miles.
I bought a Charger RT over both. It's got that real muscle car fast back styling. Had to have it
The Dodge Magnum should had never been killed off, it was a cool 😎 looking station wagon, what was Chrysler thinking??? 🤔
Magnum should still be here

The Dodge Magnum was something special. It’s a shame more people don’t like wagons. I’ll take a wagon any day over a porky SUV.
Ive owned an 05 Magnum RT, 08 Challenger SRT8, and currently own an 07 300C AWD model.. i have loved all 3 cars but my order for the 3 ice owned is #1 Challenger SRT8 (of course) #2 Magnum RT ( I preferred this body style over the 300 #3 300C AWD.. i would still own the Challenger SRT8 had i not moved up north where the AWD is a necessity.... Im sure my next car will be a hemi variant of a Charger ... unless they bring back the Magnum! It was my favorite of the 3 (Charger, Magnum, 300) upon their initial release.. im gonna keep dreaming that they will make a Hellcat Magnum someday amd make a group of us Mopar guys ecstatic!!

I’ve had numerous Chargers and 300s as well. I would take a Magnum over all of them if they still made them today.
Who ones a R/T or SRT 8 if you do keep it. 😁😁 I would keep them both will increase in value in the next few years . Saw a black R/T on Saturday my buddy hadn't saw one in person before and said that is cool
I like the 2-tone dash...boldly dark on top with a lighter beige below. I think that color combo is fairly rare however.
That 2.7 Liter was a shit show.
Mine has 316234 miles and still runs I dont know how but she still running strong

Thats because its an ancient 4 speed auto. that means 4th (and also 3rd) are overdrive gears designed for fuel economy and highway driving. So you will lose engine power in those high gears.
I have a 05 magnum with the 3.5 motor 147.000 miles on it allwheel drive never had a problem with it lucky i guess and I drive somewhat had from time to time o yes Walmart synthetic oil

Replace that timing belt before it breaks. Most people don't and end up destroying the engine.
This is the Chrysler I grew up with. I thought the Magnum was the coolest car. The GTO, Charger, Mustang, and Magnum were rolling the streets then.
I miss my 300c
The 2.7 is low on power, but it gets exceptional gas mileage for how big and heavy the cars are. I rented a Charger with the 2.7 and got 27+ mpg with 4 people and all the luggage to go along with them through the mountains. I'm sure you can hit over 30mpg on the highway by yourself on a normal highway.

Keep the 500 LXs are prettier interior & exterior (Chrysler only), (Dodge Chager & Magnum looks sluggish), they’re little more fun to drive, little more powerful (V8 only) and that’s it. 500 have decent engines and trans they’re extremely reliable, powerful enough and compatible with each other, had better interior materials, looks more serious aka (not a d-bag looking car).

Five Hundred's are slow as slugs, the transmissions are fragile (the 6 speeds and ESPECIALLY the CVT's), and ALOT less fun. A Hemi or even a 3.5L Magnum (make sure to replace the timing belt if it's a 3.5L... AVOID the 2.7L) would be more spacious, alot more powerful, equal amount of features, more interesting to look at, and virtually the same mediocre reliability between the two. Worse gas mileage would be the biggest drawback.

SuchANiceGirl22 The Aisin 6S AT is one of most reliable trannys from its segment what are you talking about?! CVT is death trap yah but the 6S is definitely more reliable than the Daimler 5S and the new 8S ZFs, with appropriate ATF & filter changes intervals and only start the normal driving after it reach Operating temperature and it’ll run like a clock, if it was neglected way too much and then replaced or driven from cold start it will be out for good after a while other than that it can run up to 1/2 M Kilometers with no issues at all and most cars are like this, the Chrysler 5S AT on the other hand are prone to have faulty modules, brittle gear knob selector bushings and there are a lot of people complained about it, I’m saying it’s bad but it’s definitely not better than the Ford 6S, the Chrysler 2.7 is known with it’s sludge contamination problem and it’s considered as one of the top 10 worst internal combustion engines ever existed, and the SOHC 3.5 is just no match for the more modern yet simple configuration of the Ford DOHC 3.5 it’s more “alive and there” and far more economic than Chrysler’s 3.5 let alone the V8s, I’m no Ford promoter by no means it’s already more than 10 y/o car, I’m a MB guy my self but i used both LXs & 500 and the reliability reputation of the 500 stood for itself.
I am reading these comments and they are surprising. I thought these cars were unreliable and had many problems.
@karfreek I agree
i didnt really like the magnum but i thinking about buying a 2005 300c when i get back from Korea some one tell about the problems you had if you had one
why do you say that? i;m thinking about getting a 2005 300c 5.7. is it that bad?
Put your Odyssey up against a 3.5L or HEMI and your Minivan will run out of breath QUICK!

Get the 3.5 if you can help it I've heard from owners of the 2.7 that they like to break slightly more than the 3.5 due to cheaper build) Also they feel just a tad sluggish The 3.5 is very peppy and plenty reliable I'm looking at buying one right now in fact hopefully it'll be in my driceway before Christmas!

Idk I'm not completely qualified... Im just a guy on the web. As far as the 3.5 goes I'm not at all sure A mechanic/friend i know told me to try and get that motor because parts and reliability and horsepower are abundant. :/
