MotorWeek | Road Test: 2015 Chrysler 300

We settle into the spacious and luxurious Chrysler 300.

33 year old car guy here, and the 300S is pretty much the perfect car in my opinion (the non-S models do look pretty geriatric). It's a big body, Mercedes-derived sedan with an easy to tune, big American pushrod V8. It's super comfortable. The blackout trim makes it look menacing. The UConnect is so well-done it feels natural. It handles well enough for a luxury cruiser. It's a big car but it doesn't feel like a big car (i.e., you don't feel like you're sitting in a cockpit with miles of dashboard in front of you). It has digital gauges that tell you oil, coolant, and transmission temperatures in REAL TIME. And best of all, it's fast. You can tell Chrysler still employs some gearheads!

I bought a new 3.6 8 speed 300 base model, with uconnect and audio upgrade, rwd, heated seats and little options like that, five years and 72000 trouble free miles and I still love driving her. still gets looks and compliments. mpg is great for a big car. I absolutely would get another.I sold my old 2005 hemi to a neighbor kids five years ago with 120, 000 miles, and he still owns it today, nearly 200k miles, and he still loves it. I hope when I'm ready for my new car in three years or so, the 300 retains this Dane basic formula. I'll be upset if they turn it into a fwd Taurus Impala Avalon wanabe.

Can't beat the value of these things. Especially for the lightly used ones

Chrysler Has Been On A Role Since 2008. This Car Is One Of The Best CARS On The Market. Luxurious, and The whole Interior Is Leather. For People Saying That Chrysler Is Ruined My Fiat. Fiat Started Helping Them In 2009. And look At There Cars Before Then. And Look At The Now That Fiat Has Them. Enough Said . Fiat Has Also Improved. All These Haters Of Chryler. Chrysler Is Not A Luxury Brand. Deal With It.

Have owned 1 of these beauties since 2013, the pentastar is good, but add a aftermarket exhaust system, Turbo, remap the engine management and it becomes GREAT, Oh it is quicker then 6.6 0-60 also. cheers from Australia

[VicZXR]

Pretty impressive 0-60 from a v6 car weighing 4k lbs...

[tkewrestler]

I purchased a used 2018 Chrysler 300S with the all wheel drive in February. I absolutely love the car and as of this writing I have put nearly 5900 miles on the car. I love the look of a big sedan and with the S model you get a dash of sport.

Best bang for your buck when it comes to large, comfortable cars...AND ITS RWD!

Instead of the rotary transmission selector, they should go to push buttons, Then it would be unique and old school MoPar at the same time!

I'm a big fan of the 300/Charger. A big sedan that is comfortable, can have power, and is attractive. Plus they may not necessarily break the bank. I've had a 2012 Charger SXT and can honestly say the initial 31 MPG highway it was given is legitimate. I currently have a 2018 Charger R/T and have seen 28 MPG highway at the tail end of a long 600 mile trip to the east coast. And I have never reset my MPG calculator. And these cars were and are trouble free. Chrysler built winners with these and they are the new Crown Vics in terms of long term tweaking and reliability.

I love my base 2012.  Just hope they improve the seats in the 2015 on.  They are hard and awkward.

As I'm commenting Chrysler just announced the 2023 model year is the last for the 300, and i'm shocked to how well its aged. The basic design has been around for 12 years and it still is comfortable and powerful. Sad to see it will be the final full-sized sedan to roll off the assembly line.

[hmackprotection]

A great American Sedan. I'd love the 2011-15 300 SRT

[JDsHouseofHobbies]

Too bad there won't be a Hell Cat version of the 300. Imagine what kind of sleeper that could be!

[eatonmoorecox]

I don't hate these cars. Which is odd, because I hate everything.

[Dark_muhammad]

I have 2015 300limited and it is perfect in every aspect i love it, i am happy that i decided to buy chrysler

[steveespinola]

The Chrysler 300, great looking car and I still see the originals around though some are in bad shape which is a shame

[jmancamry]

Love this car bought one 2 months ago and not one bad word about this car 5K miles put on went from 42K to 45K pretty nice

[lightningbuster]

Fortunately they're still selling quite a few of these so you'll still see them around for while. I'll get one in a few years when the value drops to somewhere affordable.

[dmoney]

Brilliant engine in the 200, surprised me when I drove it!
