Ear to ear grin every time I climb inside to drive. Jaw dropping looks with blood thirsty power. Traded in our 05 300c for this beast. This car is a true joy. Class and brute strength beautifully combined. Holds 4 sets of golf clubs and 4 passengers with comfort. This car has unmatched performance/value. Unfortunately, 425 hp is addictive, only makes me want even more so we are trading in our 06 Pacifica for a new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, the SUV version on this car. Never thought I would own Chrysler. They have really outdone themselves with this car. Car feels like a tank for safety, Benz for comfort, 'vette for performance (and fuel economy of course).

I've owned more than 40 cars of all types but never driven something like this. Unending thrust, great handling, stunning looks. This is a two ton sedan that can run with the most powerful muscle cars ever built and take my three kids to school in comfort. I waited over a year to get the car, had it 9 months, and still do that look over the shoulder thing as I walk away from it in the parking lot.

E55amg substitute

Outstanding muscle car performance in a beautiful and sophisticate 4 dr sedan package with all the creature comforts for under $50K! It does not get any better and you save at least $30K over what the E55AMG would set you back. So it takes premium and gets about 12 mpg in town. Not a great price to pay for so much fun.

Interior build quality

I have found the engine and transmission to be excellent. I have found that the interior items - such as the dash board trim fit and finish to be less than satisfying, the ends of the dash has developed bubbles under the material - not acceptable, dealer says they all will do this due to the way the dash is made. Other than that car is a real head turner and I absolutely love all other aspects of the car.

First driving impressions are that this feels like a luxury car. But stomp on the pedal or push deep into a corner and you'll think it's a sports car. Great combination of rich features & high performance. I've taken a few long road trips across Texas and you can eat up the miles at 120 plus mph while your passengers sleep comfortably. The interior room and truck space are incredible for a car with this level of performance. The mechanic at my local dealer says he rarely sees one come in for repairs, which is a good sign. Note that synthetic oil is a $75 - $100 affair, and it eats gas and tires (every 15k miles at $300 each), but even after paying my $$$ I think it's worth every penny!
