Better than expected

Chrysler's 300C SRT8 turns out to be better than my expectations. The MPG for such a powerful car is much better than I expected. The sport suspension is more comfortable than I expected, especially seeing on TV all of the extreme driving that it can do. This car gets as much attention as my custom Harley Road King. The slightl lower stance and the 20" 10 spoke wheels are very impressive. My wife thoroughly enjoy's driving the SRT8. She has claimed this car as hers. Today when we got onto the freeway, and there was a long open space, I stepped on the gas for about 3 seconds. We both looked at each other, and have not stopped smiling yet. Go; buy one now!

This car is a blast -- A sports car in disguise that can blow away most sports cars on the road. I bought it with all the options and now have 5,000 miles on it. No problems. 17 mpg average, which is better than I was expecting. Turn off the ESP and spin the wheels! The power, performance, and braking is excellent for a large sedan. The auto stick is fun. Very solid feel at over 150 mph. This car makes the drive to work or play very enjoyable. I call it the Bat-mobile. All it needs is body armor when you lock it, cables, an oil slick, and rockets.

Chrysler did their homework with this car. As soon as you sit in the leather and suede seats you are hugged by the side bolsters which hold you in place when you step on the gas. This car has all the power you need to have plenty of fun with. The cockpit is very quiet and well trimmed out. I have purchased many cars in my day,and I would have to say that this is one of th best large size sedans on the market no matter what the price.

We have found at least a dozen features about this car that we do not like, 700 words is not enough to tell the entire story, a quick summary is no front seat assist handles, backs of legs rub on side of car when getting out. Daytime glare on dash instruments, buttons that operate radio, navigation etc. are not illuminated at night. Demo ride did not point out that highbeam headlights were obtained by pushing down on the lever not by lifting up the lever as with prior Chrysler cars. The feature that bothered me most however was the lack of comfortable armrests for the driver, I was spoiled by the captains chairs in my van. I was not told about the cost of the puncture proof tires either.

Where do I begin? I bought the car in 2006, and rarely drive it. It has only 8000 miles of driving at this time. The gravel shield has fallen off - protected under the warranty. Now the Front End Bumper has completely fallen off as a result of the low to the ground design, when parking in stalls and approaching the parking stop. I have to pay $2600 to have it fix. I blame myself-for trying to spur the US Economy and not following my orig. feelings of buying a Non US vehicle. I would like to sell it - but have about 6k invested in after market products and services. I like the style of the car and the okay with the interior comfort. I will be getting rid of it this coming year. What a waste?
