However, exquisite appearance was not the only feature of this sedan.

Each element gives the appearance of the car's sportiness and agility.

Especially pleased with comfortable seats. They are wide, comfortable, moderately soft and also adjustable in 8 directions. The only thing they lack – pronounced lateral support.

Behind him will feel comfortable for three passengers. Place and space enough for all, largely due to the overall wheelbase and length of the model.

Yet it is worth noting the trunk. Volume – 530 liters. However, he has disadvantage, which is a small loading aperture. Large items to put in the compartment will not work.

What's under the hood?

“Chrysler 300M” is not only attractive and comfortable business sedan, but still quite powerful and dynamic. Its characteristics justify a sporty design.

Basic “Chrysler 300M” was completed 203-horsepower 2.5-liter engine. This gasoline V-shaped atmospheric “six” accelerates the sedan up to 210 km/h And the mark of 100 km/h the speedometer reached after 10.2 seconds after starting. By the way, this motor was offered in tandem with 4-speed “machine”.

The only negative – a few delayed reaction to a sudden movement of the wheel. But no roll in the corners, and the trajectory of the vehicle holds. On the road the car drives very confidently, especially pleased with a comfortable and soft suspension. Even large pits are smoothed out quickly, what to speak of ordinary urban irregularities. However, if you drive this car on a hard asphalt joints or rails, in the wheel you can feel the vibration.

In General, you should not test this model on bad roads. It is, of course, is collected soundly and can boast of good quality, but clearance she is only 13 centimeters. You need to remember that. And in any case not to go on the road, but if you have to, then better to do it at minimal speeds.

And another thing – the brakes. They are disc, ventilated, but they have to get used to. Quickly to stop a dimensional and dynamic car they can't, so the driver needs to brake in advance.

Comments owners

Here in Russia these machines is unlikely to surprise someone, but you want the originality, which have "Chrysler" abound. So many people, on reflection, decided to buy this machine.

“Chrysler 300M» reviews received only positive largely due to its engine. Reliable and low maintenance, it works quietly, which is also pleasing. Motorists point out that on this car you can drive quietly and rapidly, if not to gain more than 2-2.5 thousand revs. Many praised the crackdown. It is impressive that such dynamics does not expect from a car length of 5 meters and weighing two tons.

Another advantage – incredibly easy setup the gas pedal. As her driver hit the car and go. In the management of this car is really very convenient, especially pleases the CAT. Adaptive “automatic” adapts to driving style. If the person travels quite slowly, picking up speed, the transmission switches to high gear early so did not spend too much fuel. Years later these cars are quite respectable consumption: the city – about 15-17 liters (traffic), on the track – 9-10.

Car Improvement

Yet many people set new aerodynamic body kit, which also makes the model more attractive and spectacular. Some change console trim, make the tree that looked respectable.

But the most difficult tuning – technical, namely, the crossing of the engine. The engine at the "Chrysler" powerful, but some drivers would like to make the figures even more impressive. If you wish, and the right hands you can increase the number “horse” and up to 300. However, the crossing is a range of activities, which will have to replace the pistons, rods, valves and many other items. To entrust this work only to professionals.
