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.

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. 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.
Purchased in at Chrysler Dealers for $35,000.

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.
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!!!

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 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

Just about to get the 300 SRT, demo, not core, full spec model, it feels nice to drive and the finish does look high standard, so now after reading this I hope the Warranty service is high standard too, as I make all new car makers replace non conforming parts, this includes warped plastics, be persistent and go to Fair Trading about any issues if they dont comply! I hope this car is at least as good as my 2011 VE SERIES II SSV?? If not, you'll read about it here!
