2012 Chrysler 300C - Car and Driver (blog)
When the time came for our Chrysler 300C to exit the C/D stage, the sizable sedan did so without a hint of drama. The 300C’s amiable personality and cavernous interior helped the big lug win a lot of friends here, and a couple of logbook comments were repeated over and over during its tenure: “This is a great highway cruiser,” and “nice engine. Despite lots of love for their heating and cooling functions, the seats received nearly unanimous criticism for their hard, flat seatbacks. One staffer whose sole exposure to the 300C came near the end of its stay wondered “if they were this way from the start or if 40,000 miles of hard use had transformed them. Only two staffers, both known to suffer from mild back problems, found them up to the task of offering long-term support, one going so far as to deem them “worthy of something far more expensive” after emerging pain-free from an eight-hour excursion. Chrysler wisely chose to make the most of the resources at hand and go understated with the treatment, as cheap flash likely would be losing its shine at this point. The Alpine sound system continued to win raves, one staffer mentioning that it, combined with the 300C’s quiet interior (40 dB at idle, 70 dB at 70-mph cruise), easily drowned out typical Ann Arbor game-day hysteria while.
