The Chrysler 3.0-litre turbodiesel. has a better gas economy than the petrol-powered 300C SRT-8. The SRT-8 has a 419bhp 6.1-litre V8, and can take the car from 0-60mph in just five seconds.Although being a big motor it is quiet untill you hit higher speeds when road & wind noise become audible.
Inside the 300C's it is comfortable enough although the plastics and trim don't look as classy as those in European rivals.
Crash protection is excellent, thanks to standard front, side, window and rear airbags. Stability control is also fitted, and deadlocks and an engine immobiliser protect against theft.
Behind the wheel
Eight-way seat adjustment helps the driver to make himself comfortable, but things would be better if the steering wheel moved for reach as well as height. It's hard to see the front and rear of the car, too, while the comparatively small windscreen and big front pillars create blind spots in tight corners.
Standard equipment on this beauty puts many rivals to shame. Alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, cruise control and heated leather seats with power adjustment are all included. Every car also has dual-zone climate control, which tailors the temperature individually for front and rear passengers.
