We say Great price and space but the 300C’s plus points need to be balanced against the equally obvious cons.Performance 3.5 and a massive 5.7-litre V8 petrol both perform well, the latter massively so. A mere 3-litre diesel will do everything you need though.Emissions 34mpg and 214g/km is as good as it gets in the Chrysler 300C saloon.Driving The 300c saloon performs well for such a big car: takes corners at speed in its stride but it's a very soft ride.Feel The 300C has quiet engines for the most part, although they can't quite match the refinement of some rivals'. Great cruiser.Space Masses of interior space, with a huge boot to match. You could get 18 golf bags in there. Probably.Equipment Top-line spec as standard, with just about everything you could think of thrown in at entry-level. Alloys, parking sensors, heated leather seats…Price The 300C Saloon is great value for money, but high running costs and depreciation take the shine off that low starting price.Quality The 300C’s cabin isn't up to rivals' quality. Some questions over reliability.Safety Loads of bags, stability control, deadlocks and immobiliser.Pros Good engines, huge space, great amounts of kit.Cons Poor ride in town, high running costs.Alternatives Mercedes E-Class Saloon, Audi A6, Jaguar S-Type, Cadillac CTS
