Replying to: espo1 (Feb 02, 2005 1:37 pm) They are designed for performance at the expense of wear. BMW, Audi, Porshce and some Mercedes use Max performance (which is the final step above Ultra High performance) "summer tires" -- my wife's second TT tires were basically "gone" at 13,000 miles and the car was maintained "by the book" at the dealer. The Acura NSX and some of the Porsche's needed new rubber sometimes as soon as 6,000 miles. I had a set of Pirelli tires ONE TIME, that sacrificed themselves for my "driving pleasure" by about 8,000 miles. I have since switched to UHP tires and can now exceed 20,000 miles without concern about the tire's efficacy. Now, I find it difficult to believe that the 300C would have such Max performance tires (the SRT-8 MAYBE) -- this cupping is caused as noted above. I would hope that the 300C's OEM tires would go over 25,000 miles with relative ease. |

I have a 300C w Continental Self Sealing tires. On the tires it says: Maximum tire pressure 51 Lbs. It doesn't say what the optimum pressure is. The sticker on the car does not name that tire specifically but the size and suggests somewhere around 34 if I remember correctly. 2300 miles on my car in winter driving. Only problem is broken knob on the Nav system wh they w fix. Very solid car. Fun to drive. Quiet if the Boston stereo isn't going full blast. Acceleration is outstanding. It even sounds as "bad" as it looks. It's too bad that some people get a lemon. Mine is no lemon. If mine were, I can understand how my thoughts and feelings would be jaded. I hope Chrysler "makes good" for people. They have called me three times to ask how things were, plus one mail in survey and two phone surveys. What can I say??? Oh yea, I drove on salt covered roads and didn't wash it for a week. Today after the car wash I looked / touched the rims and their edges etc and saw no pitting that someone else complained about. Maybe they drove through an acid spill. A damp then dry cloth got rid of water spots. |

Hi Does anyone have the 3.5 v6 ?? Is it adequate? really dont need another hemi (Durango). I know the hemi is nice, but this could be more of a commuter car - so i am going for gas mileage. there seem to be plenty of V6's at the dealers, so I was hoping to get a little less than MRSP. Thanks Dan

Replying to: hardhawk (Feb 06, 2005 2:29 pm) I just got my 300C AWD via the Costco program and got it on that pricing basis, which was much better than any other dealer was willing to do for me. I got the $1,000 rebate by borrowing the minimum required ($10K), but you can pay off the loan after 3 payments, so it's a pretty sweet deal.

Mark, I was shocked to see you on this forum. Interestingly enough, I am very interested in the 300C AWD, only one of which I can locate on Chrysler's web page for a 50 mile radius! I've driven the 2wd C, and liked it. Missed the ease of manually directing the shifting similar to Audi's version, and felt the caster was different, as the wheel didn't return to straight after turning a corner. In all fairness, the car had almost NO fuel, a dirty windshield, and I didn't get far enough from the dealer to really be sure it was warm. I will likely get out of my TT 3.2 DSG Roadster early, as the fun is overshadowed by the inconvenience of lack of storage, comfort for my spouses's tush, etc. I am actually disappointed I turned in my A6 early. I've put the car up on lease trader, but no action for a month. Probably because the payments for the next 14 months are about $770. Anyway, if the A6 has gone up that much, I'll probably go with the 300C, as the CTS seems small, and dated, and the STS seems too large, and way too expensive. Unfortunately, both the STS and 300C AWD are quite scarce now. It's good to see your name again, as I haven't browsed the forums for over a year. I lost your email address when I had a crash a month or so ago. HA! Hell of a note!! jk |

Audi is still on my short list. But the 300C and the Acura RL and even the Infiniti M's cannot be overlooked. Even the upcoming Bimmer 3 and 5 AWD's merit consideration. Audi is no longer alone, that is. The 300C AWD is quite the value -- and from reading, it is also quite the performer. |

It's funny how I got all excited when pricing out the A6 this morning. I've owned 5 911s, and don't remember that much excitement, considering luxury, appointments, performance, i.e., whole package!! Guess my old age is showing. I could keep the Audi on my short list, but may very well go with the 300C AWD. jk |
