Chrysler 300C SRT-8 (06-10) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 01 December 2006 Last Updated: 10 November 2008 Chrysler's 300C has brought the company huge success in an image-conscious sector thanks to its stand-out styling, generous equipment levels and keen pricing. But if the standard engines leave you wanting more then the SRT-8 could be the answer. Powered by a 6.1-litre V8 with 420bhp it can sprint from 0-62mph in just 5.0 seconds - that's almost as quick as a BMW M5, while uprated brakes and suspension help keep all the power under control. But while it's quick it lacks a little in sophistication and the handling, steering and body control aren't a match for German super saloons. 3.5 out of 5 Other Chrysler reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3.5 out of 5 Safety The SRT-8 hasn't been crash tested by Euro NCAP, but it feels solidly built and comes with plenty of safety kit. All models get electronic stability programme (ESP), traction control, ABS and front and rear side airbags. Security-wise, there's an alarm and remote central locking. Facelifted cars come with seat-mounted airbags that were added to the front (and side-curtain airbags to the rear) for increased driver and passenger safety. The SRT-8 also comes with tyre pressure sensors and Isofix child seat mounting points while there are uprated brakes to cope with the extra power.

The 300C lacks some of the complex electronic systems found on other large high-performance saloons, which could mean there is less that could go wrong. Frequent services should also find any problems in their early stages. Car check problem points Body No problems reported. Engine/Gearbox No problems reported. Other No problems reported.
