Chrysler 300C Touring (2006 - 2010) 3.0 V6 CRD 5d Auto (2008/58) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Who knows.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

If I had a pound every time someone stopped and asked what sort of car it is.....

Would you buy this car again and why?

Possibly, but with under 35mpg and the current price of diesel it would not be the wisest of choices.

What are you likely to buy next?

Don't need one for a long time - this one should last for years yet.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£15,000

When did you buy the car?

December 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

Bought for half original price and only had 2500miles on it.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wanted a spacious car for not a lot of money.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Relaxing. Easy. Responsive. Drive it around town or drive it hard and you'll only get about 27mpg. Drive it sensibly and smoothly and you'll get 35mpg.

What's it like to park?

Parking sensors make it simple. Need a longer than average space though. And there are a couple of tight multi-storey car park ramps where it feels like you are manoeuvring a bus.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Sensor on fuel system failed. Fixed for free by Chrysler. Front ball joint worn out by 50,000miles - that may be more a reflection on the state of the roads that the engineering of the car components.

What's most practical about your car?

Loads of room for passengers and surprisingly vast boot.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Cruise control.
