Great deal
Russell Montgomery, Bellevue, NE, 11/17/2018
2018 Chrysler 300 S 4dr Sedan AWD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
Much better than I expected. Leased the car a year ago , 8,000 miles, and had no idea how much I’d like it. I chose the 300S because of the deal and not the car. Quality has been excellent as has performance. All systems and menus are intuitive or easy to figure out. We have another new car and after a month I’m still going to YouTube to figure out the menus. I have blind spot monitoring … so I don’t have visibility problems. I’ve been surprised at how much I’ve enjoyed the alpine speakers. Gas mileage is not an issue with me as I don’t drive many miles. Last winter the awd handled snowy roads easily. The tires have wide sidewalls and seem more resistant to road damage than those on other cars we’ve owned. The one issue I have is that it is a very large sedan and I do search for parking spots that are easy to access. The extra walk is good for me and cheaper than the gym I work out at. Although I’m in an age group that generally prefers large sedans I normally like smaller cars, my toy is a 1991 Mazda Miata. I have absolutely no regrets about my lease and am thoroughly enjoying driving this great example of the dying breed of sedans.
Great ride

This car is so comfortable and has that sporty feel also. The functionality of the dash and features are easy to use. The ride is smooth and has the power to get up to speed and cruise.
You gotta getcha one of these

2018 Chrysler 300 S 4dr Sedan AWD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
I bought the 300S without doing any reviews. This was an impulse buy I haven't regretted. The salesman knew exactly what I wanted and he was right to put me in this car, I have NO regrets. I haven't had her on a long trip yet so can't attest to highway MPG.
What a Fantastic ride.

I have always been a GM person. Need AWD where we live and wife wanted something different Wow! Does this car ride/drive nice. Chrysler has really stepped up their game the last few years. Car is really sharp. I hope they decide to continue the full size 300.

Which 300 does Edmunds recommend?
One reason the 2018 Chrysler 300 appeals to so many is its varied configurations. Aim sensibly for the Touring L and you get a nice mix of 18-inch wheels, leather and heated front seats. But if you can stretch it, the 300S delivers an exquisite blend of luxury and sport, especially when equipped with the V8 engine.
Full Edmunds Review: 2018 Chrysler 300 Sedan
Driving
7.5The Chrysler 300C is a big American sedan with a floaty ride, but the V6 is more than adequate and there's space aplenty. Cars such as the 300 are becoming rare these days, and though there are flaws, the car's size, quietness and price make a compelling case.
Comfort
7.5The 300 is a big car, and it shows pretty much everywhere. On the highway it's mostly smooth, but after small bumps it tends to have a wallowy, floaty ride. This is at odds with the impact harshness from big bumps, which make the seats feel more like a couch than a captain's chair.
Interior
8.0The reason the 300 is so big on the outside is because it's so spacious on the inside. It gets high scores for ease of entry/exit and overall passenger volume, plus it has a big trunk. Rearward visibility, however, is a problem.
Utility
7.5Given its generous trunk space (16.5 cubic feet), and rear seats that fold down in a 60/40 split, the 2018 Chrysler 300 provides ample utility and flexibility for daily tasks. The cupholders work well. The 300's front-most storage bin has a security lid, but its operation feels cheap.
Technology
8.0We've had lots of experience with older versions of Chrysler's infotainment system, Uconnect, and we've even tested the newest Uconnect 8.4 system in other cars, but we haven't tested it in the 300 yet. In those other cars, though, it's lightning fast with crisp graphics and simple, logical menus.
