Pros: Powerful! Sounds great Looks great. Very comfortable. Fuel economy is good on the highway. Best I recorded was 8l/100km @ 112kmh on a 1000km trip. Roomy interior. Handles well for a big car. Cons: Bluetooth module kept malfunctioning. A bit thirsty city driving. I had to sell mine due to a lifestyle change. Wish I could have kept it. I'll always miss its power, comfort, sound and presence on the road. Show details
Mental as anything – What a car. FYI e and s class Merc chassis, I have owned many V8s and driven as many. This is the most impressive performance. No a fleas nose delay in response. GMH lsa have them all , nothing snaps like this. It is on it before you . One thing I think is ridiculous is the cylinder deactivation in drive. Wish I could turn it off . In sports mode… Read more
it deactivates it , although holds gears longer still fine. Love it drives like a Merc goes like a stabbed cat
Head turner. Loaded luxury and power – 6.4L V8 SRT. Not every One can handle that power. Just go and get a test drive, i am sure you would love it. Great handling, no skidding like my old Ford. Heavy body metal. Nice shape. Nice music system. Luxury leather seats. WHOAAHH... feeling odometer. Lounge type space inside. You feel like a business man. Large boot to put extra luggage.… Read more
Own Chrysler brand from last 9 years. No issues at all. Just make sure to service from right authorized mechanic because not all mechanics can handle this beast.
Very spacious sedan with V8 6.4L. Beast – Very smooth.. roar like anything.. only thing people can see is its taillights and dust left behind. Nice leather interior. Head turner on traffic lights. Happy chrysler owner from last 8 years. Mopar or no car.
Dream of a car! – Just recently picked up a 300 SRT Hyperblack, it is an awesome vehicle. Prior to picking it up, all I've managed to find out is that there are heaps of improvements since 2015 through until now, so I really bought it with lots of confidence, having never owned anything of this style/design before(HEMI, 8cyl, American). So totally hope it stays… Read more
true to this, will definitely share more of my experiences when the time comes, for now, the car drives amazingly well, especially for how big and heavy the body is! It definitely doesn't make you feel that way when you drive. The options and perks that the car comes with is something you'd get in like a Mercedes E63 onwards. So it is definitely bang for buck in terms of power style and options, especially when you're paying 1/3 of the price.
Update: Just over a year now. Still loving the car, puts a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel, I've had 3 warranty calls. The headunit, 2 pieces of interior carbon fibre trim peeling, and lower windscreen cowl warping.
Each and every time, the guys at Northern Jeep dealt with the problem in the smoothest and swiftest way possible. At the moment I still stand by thoughts that I had in the beginning.
Update: 2021: Over 3 years now. Called in for trim warranty a couple more times, but no dramas.
Still love the car, considered to swap/sell it but in the end it's such a great piece of mechanical fun. Being from Melbourne we have access to possibly the best SRT/Jeep tech in Dontex Automotive so there's really no worries owning one of these over the next 20 years.
Cannot fault, Brilliant underrated – I bought my SRT8 Core in May, and cannot wait to get up everyday to drive it. I've been a mechanic for 20 years so hopefully I know a thing or to about cars. The second gen 300s 2012 onwards are so much better than the first gen it's not funny. If your looking for a large sedan, put these on your list to test drive. As for the 6.4 Hemi, oh my goodness!!! Stupid foot brake, turning circle Show details
Very Disappointed – After test driving and reading the rave reviews we were excited to order our Chrysler 300 SRT8 Core. The Hemi V8 was impressive (love the soundtrack) and the styling much improved on the previous model. Unfortunately after only a few hundred kilometres our new car developed a fault that was unable to be fixed within a reasonable timeframe. We… Read more
did receive two replacement vehicles only to find that they had been sitting in the weather for over six months since being delivered from the US (we suggest potential buyers check the build date) this meant the paint and chrome trim was marked and scratched. In addition, the interior quality was disappointing as the doors didn't align properly (causing a buffeting noise), the console had dents/flaws and some of the vents didn't move.
Another couple of disappointing features we found are that you are unable to get a full size spare - meaning you are left with the tyre sealant kit (useless if your tyre comes off the alloy) and the LSD/Traction Control doesn't engage at slow speed (making it hard to get up steep driveways).
Even thought this is well priced, after three disappointments sadly we had to let our passion for this car go. Hemi V8 Quality
