disclaimer, i am not really an expert on anything... these are just my own biased views.
anyways.
Rented a 2012 300C for the weekend to drive to Minnesota to see my sister graduate.
Quite simply, this thing is fucking awesome.
I have averaged 26.8 mpg and that has included me getting on it a few times, as well as cruise set at 78-80 mph. The car get's it pretty well from any speed and is just dead silent when cruising- like a big ol caddy- but better. It is fun, but still comfy enough and the car pulls from any speed just awesome like I said. Hammer it at any speed and it downshifts what feels like every gear, the nose lifts, and you are moving out pretty well. From what I have read/seen for magazine reviews- low 14's/high 13s happen for this 363hp behemoth.
Between my 2006 srt8 300c that i had and this one, this one isn't really a direct comparison, but on the interior alone, this new one is fucking awesome.
Biggest place to start- quite easily- the chyrsler touchscreen navigation/media center. holy fuck this thing is awesome and 11teen billion times better than myfordtouch. i have probably 15 hours behind myfordtouch, and a solid 4-5 behind this uconnect system, and the uconnect blows away the horrible navigating myfordtouch.
The gauges/driver information center are awesome to look at and easy to navigate through the steering wheel controls...
the uconnect is simple, and makes so much more sense to navigate through than anything i have used... it connects via bluetooth quickly and easily with no real fuss and just works. the navigation is just as easy to navigate and use--- and it is quick as hell. THe biggest thing is that it is easily navigable and you don't need to study a users manual for days on end to figure it out.
The interior is awesome like I said before... heated/cooled seats are super comfy and I fit awesome in this car, which happens not too often since I am 6'5 and 215lbs... it also has a heated steering wheel... usb/audio jacks in the center console that are backlit so you can see em.
if i had the dollars and was looking for something along the lines of a 4 door beast of a car that got decent mileage... this would be in my driveway ahead of many other offerings.
