I WANT IT NOW!!!!! :D
Well I just got back to a computer and am reporting.
Showed up at the lot at 11am and they were just rolling out a 300c FROM the back lot. Informed the salesmen that I was just there for a test drive of the 300c and was not buying now. He offered me a test drive and off we went.
Acceleration - I have been driving a Dodge Intrepid with the 2.7 and CAI and thought it had good acceleration for its size and engine. Broke the Tires loose at least 3 times in the 300c but only for a split second before the ESP kicked in. This was brought on by my first dislike of the car, my intrepid there is some resistance to the gas pedal and you have to push to get it to move, 300c gas pedal was like a wet noodle. The first time I touched the pedal it went all the way to the floor, tires broken loose but only briefly then ESP kicked in. Very smooth transmission even under full power freeway merging. The 0-60 is all they have been advertising. Disappointed in the engine noise. No growl while accelerating inside the car.
Handling - We went INTO some of the hilly roads behind the dealer and I am amazed. Stiff suspension feel without any pounding FROM the numerous bumps and holes in the road, no baby buggy feel even though a very smooth ride. Never any understeer and the ESP never kicked in thought I took some corners way to fast. Very quite ride compared to Intrepid
Interior - Very rooming with good visibility, was less visibility then my Intrepid but still good. Specifications say slightly less shoulder room then the Intrepid but felt like more when in the car. Defiantly higher sitting position and much easier to enter and exit vehicle. Power telescoping and tilt steering wheel retracts all the way when car is off and returns to last adjusted position when car is started. Power adjust pedals did the same thing.
Lets see some more reviews.
