Decided to write a review about a surprisingly beautiful car. I would like not only to talk about the car, the pros and cons, but also to say a few words about my very attitude to the car, about what it was and what it has become. These cars are not bought after much thought, difficult comparisons with writing out all the pros and cons of each brand that claims to take a place in your garage. No, people fall in love with such a car as the Chrysler 300C and buy them forgetting about the existence of Mercedes, BMW, Audi. Cars like the Chrysler 300C are chosen with the heart, not the head. For the first time, I saw the 300C in 2012 in the photo and, perhaps, my thoughts were similar to the thoughts of most people who are interested in this brand. “They ruined the car”, “made it somehow feminine”, “smoothed it, now it looks like a Korean”. After that, I safely forgot about the existence of the second generation of the three hundredth for two years. I remembered him in early 2014, when I arrived at the Chrysler dealership, almost out of pure curiosity. The interior was the three hundredth on a test drive, which surprised me a lot. It’s like I’ve never seen him in a photo before. Completely different impressions and emotions. He was cool. Just cool. Huge 20th disks (17th disks are put on the basic equipment in America), a five-meter body, short lines of the rear trunk “turned up” upwards. It was the three hundredth. The real three hundred. It easily guessed the features of the first generation, while outwardly it was already a new modern and fresh car. How can you not ride here? I’m signing up right here
Test Drive. Excitement… Already I am sitting in his huge salon on a wide and hospitable armchair. Muffled by excellent noise isolation, as if somewhere far away, the roar of the engine from starting the engine, and the three hundredth comes to life … the dashboard lights up with a pleasant blue light, xenon headlights automatically adjust their angle, the LCD display, after a greeting, displays its menu. The feeling of an expensive, comfortable and huge sedan. With a not very convenient selector, I switch the transmission to Drive and the three hundredth … no, I didn’t go … it swam, majestically, smoothly, gently rumbling with its brand new Pentastar V6. On the road, this huge sedan drove like an iron. The trip itself went great. I immediately noted the excellent sound insulation, soft steering wheel, comfortable seats, the engine, which cheerfully throws the Chrysler forward, as soon as you half drown the gas pedal. Visibility is not the best, especially from behind, parking sensors on it come in handy. This car is not suitable for beginners, it is too huge, and the rear narrow glass is created more for a quick glance through the mirror on the windshield than for parking. At the same time, I was surprised by the rather small turning radius, it will completely turn around on a regular two-lane road. The experience of touching the dream was better and brighter than I imagined on the way to the car dealership. This is a completely different 300C. Still the same recognizable, stern, conspicuous … but a little calmer, more balanced, more personable … as a daring brutal young man matured into a real adult
presentable man. He became wiser and more reasonable, with all his stateliness, he retained strength and power inside. I can say I’m lucky. The last new dealership 300Cs from 2012 remained. In fact, the car was two years old, so the discount on it was up to half a million. At this price (1,800,000 rubles), the 300th left its competitors far behind. There was nothing special to choose from, the interior design was only black. It’s a pity, I really liked the two-tone steering wheel, with a light interior design, a thin chrome rim on the steering wheel, dividing it into two colors: beige and black. Oddly enough, but the wooden top of the steering wheel in America comes in simpler trim levels. A year has flown by with the 300C. Impressions are extremely positive. A good powerful engine that loves low revs very much and keeps them at 1200 rpm at a speed of 90 km / h, apparently an eight-speed automatic German box with an outlandish gear selector, which I got used to for a couple of weeks, also helps in this. You press the accelerator pedal just a little bit and the barely audible murmur of the engine turns into a light bass, without shifting gears, it quietly picks up speed. A few words about the box. Still, I think that this machine is too thoughtful. Sometimes, the time of his thoughts takes up to 2 seconds. If you decide to jump out from behind the truck, and faster cars are catching up behind you, then you can get an unpleasant surprise when you jump out and press the gas, the car will gather its thoughts for a couple more seconds. To
you can get used to it, but I just wanted to highlight it, on other machines, the transition to lower gears is somehow faster. By the way, Chrysler’s six-speed gearbox was clearly quicker in throwing gears down. But at the same time, gear shifting felt more noticeable. ”Eight-step” goes through the gears absolutely imperceptibly, only the changing sound of the engine and the falling tachometer needle are heard at the next step increase. Yes, the box has a sport mode … But when it is turned on, the speed doubles. I think the cost is too. Although at the same time, the car reacts to the pedal almost instantly. But for a quiet ride around the city, this is not necessary … This car is designed to calmly and serenely sail along the road, and the driver to enjoy driving. Perhaps this is the only car that literally made me enjoy the movement, regardless of the purpose of my trip, I didn’t even want to rush anywhere. What for? After all, I’m driving in a beautiful car, it was nice to think about it once again, to leave all the fuss and routine of life somewhere outside. Consumption is not large, if you do not disperse into an empty wind between traffic lights, then it is quite possible to meet 12-13 liters per hundred. But if you need to “turn on the gas”, then this will not be a problem for him. Good acceleration dynamics are maintained even after reaching a speed of 100 km/h. But in winter on a snowy road you need to be careful. At 40 km / h, a slight pressure on the pedal was enough that the “ass” began to wag unpleasantly, I had to catch the “muzzle” with the steering wheel.
At faster speeds, and even when overtaking, on a snowy road, sudden acceleration can be dangerous, if not fatal. Chrysler, with the calmness of a boa constrictor, allows the rear wheels to spin if their grip on the road is very poor. This behavior aroused some mixed feelings in me, since the three hundredth first rear-wheel drive car for me. But it’s not so scary, you just need to take it into account in bad weather, there’s nothing you can do. Also, we can note relatively inexpensive insurance, 100,000 rubles. against 150,000 rubles. for similarly priced cars of Mercedes, Infiniti, Lexus, BMW brands. In the piggy bank of cons, you need to throw the navigation system. I have never seen a more disgusting navigation. It is possible that in America it is a little different, or newer. But here, it’s just a nightmare. I will not describe all her shortcomings, at least I will say one: she does not look for the address. At least for me, there is some kind of error. The navigation dealer does not want to have any business, saying that they ordered a disk from America, but has not yet arrived. The interior is excellent. Leather, wood, some plastic inserts. Everything is in place. But even here, American minimalism appeared in the new cozy interior. The bare minimum of buttons. Most of the functions are removed to the touch screen. To turn on the heating or ventilation of the seats, raise the rear curtain, adjust the position of the stove blower, turn on or off the auto light, you need to activate the menu item on the display and select the required option on it. But, it’s not scary. These are not the most important and often
the options used, but the beauty of the interior has never been in a huge number of buttons, so I even perceive this as a plus. The touch display works perfectly, responds to any touch, even with gloves, even without. It’s nice to approach this car, it’s nice to open it, it’s nice to get into it. This is the car, parked which, be sure to turn around to look at it, enjoy once again the even powerful features of the body. Mileage 12,000 is almost a year. I don’t eat much. But sometimes, as if you want to find a reason to go somewhere. After all, you have to ride it. One can long regret the departed first generation 300C, but one cannot but admit that the world is changing, everything is becoming obsolete, everything is boring. We often perceive everything new with hostility, as if something alien, unfamiliar, not wanting to take a closer look, think about it, is it as bad as it seems at first glance? Before, everything was better, and Snickers tastes better, and the grass is greener and the ”muzzle” of the three hundredth brutal. It happens that in the stream of cars the first three hundredth eye pulls out. Undoubtedly, even now, its forms are eye-catching, make it stand out from the flow of painted iron, make it look unique. This is all true, for sure. For a second it may seem that time itself has frozen in the Chrysler’s appearance, just as eight years ago he was incomparable, and now he has retained all his charisma, not losing a bit over the years, not a single muscle has sagged, has not lost shape … but , one has only to blink, look at
sides and you understand that time inexorably runs forward, fashion dictates new forms, global automakers churn out a new model one after another, and the 300th must change if it does not want to be forever buried under this endless race of iron forms. The era in which the first 300 was born has passed, it was his time, the time of a good, daring sedan. He was replaced by a new, more gentle, soft .. but this is only at first glance. We’ll get used to it. In less than five years, we will scold the third generation for its overly delicate feminine forms, citing the stern look of the xenon eyes of the second three hundredth as an example. After a year of ownership, I got used to it, and with the words Chrysler 300C, I certainly imagine the second generation. The designers did everything right, that’s exactly how it should be, and no other. An interesting observation. I did not notice that the drivers of Mercedes, BMW, Infiniti somehow greeted each other on the roads. There are many such cars, they have ceased to amaze. But drivers of the 300s will always wave, flash their headlights, or honk to each other. It’s nice. People who drive 300s know exactly what a special car they own. Love your cars and treat them like family members. I think they feel it…
