chrysler 300cc opinions please

[midcuk]

have been thinking of one of these as my next car, anyone got any opinions on them? they seem to be a lot of car for the money compared to bmw/audi etc (which i am also looking at). am i right in thinking they are all automatic though?


quite fancy a black one with big chrome rims , oh and i bet the 5.7 hemi sounds lush

other cars im looking at
530d +
a4/s4 avant must be 200+ bhp but soo many models
cadillac cts

or do i persuade the missus to use the zs as a family car and get a 350z as i can get a cracking deal on a new one :)

opinions on any would be appreciated (btw got up to 20k to spend)

chrysler 300cc is totally I pimps car.....lol :-)

I like the Cadillac cts like, but really It has to be a 350z!!!!!!!!!
Get working on the missus..lol

[TjP]

If I had the money, from that list I'd get the S4. Superb car.

Personally I wouldnt buy an American car for use in the UK. Almost bought a Neon R/T as my first car then started hearing stories of how hard parts are to come by (at least in my area). So long as you have a dealer close by though I guess it wouldnt be a problem.

But yeah, defo the Audi for me.

Think the 300C is a totally nice car, but you want to watch what happens in the next few weeks as Chrysler have called in the administrators and are on their way under...may mean a few bargains lying around as a result.

Saabs are underestimated IMO - you may be able to find a 2.8 V6 turbo X4 for less than £20k now. My uncle bought an older 9-3 without the 4 wheel drive - before they increased the power. It runs about 250 hp std but after taking it ti Hirsch, it's now running 280 - 300hp and F*****g shifts!! i think you can get nigh on 320hp out of the new one with 4 wheel drive, plus look quite sweet also.

If insurance isn't too much of an issue £20k will get a nice evo :-)

[stamford]

Mustang GT ;)

[midcuk]

hmm actually should of put the saab up as well i do like them especially the estates.

evo would be a choice in my heart but the short service intervals put me of a little as i do lots of miles

insurance group aint a problem as im old now :)

[arwilson80]

Mustang GT ;)

+1

Chrysler 300 with the 4.8 Hemi... My 'parents' (GF's to be technically correct :)) drove one and they said it was superb. Shifts like the proverbial 'Sh1t off a hot shovel'. Do they have 'European sports suspension'? If not then you are generally talking about having a car with leaf springs...:unsure:

And they probably will be 'Auto' rather than 'Stick'

[weagie]

I think the estate version of the 300c is far better looking than the saloon. Tho a Mustang GT, hell yeah!!!!

[mattie007]

Dodge Magnum if you can get them here!

[Southside_ZS]

Arnt Saab in the s**t aswell?

[afcbadam]

personally i hate the 300c. lol

a audi rs4 sounds nice....

[Dan1971]

I love them. Huge presence on the road. Big value ... Wouldn't buy one for the driving experience, but .... like I say ... I really like them.

[edmo]

probably gonna get laughed at for this but why not get a lancer. better servicing than the evo and way better insurance. was going to get one myself but finance company laughed at me lol.

[mikesezgreen]

Oh **** eye :sad: forgot that...

I do think i prefer the Saab's though, although the 300C does have a greater road presence.

The 9-3 though, once it's been tuned - is well nice, and seriously quick.

Could be really chavvy and go for as vectra VXR...:hmmm::sorry:

[Dan1971]

Ooops...

Just read the OP properly .....

Option of a 350Z and keep the ZS as a family car.

That's not a reasonable question ...... some questions have several answers.

Simple ... Get down the Nissan showroom !!!! NOW !!!!

Crysler 300c... its all about the look!

If you wanna look like the pimp daddy, get that crysler!

if you wanna look like a souless sheep, get an audi ;) :chop:

kind of the idea :) spend most of the time in rush hour traffic so cant floor it anywhere hence the pimp look would be cool , would love an rs4 but cant afford a new enough one (likewise holden etc), do like the saabs mind

hmm choices choices. good job got a few months to think about it

[StragglaSteve]

I do think with the Crysler, you will be in the same boat as the MG with regards to...

build quality...
parts...

But i trust being an MG owner that you know a car is all about the massive grin on your face! :smart:
