knowledgeable product specialists......hmmm, ask them if the trunkwell can accept a conventional spare, and they aren't too knowledgable..........

I sat in the car several times at the Detroit show. I would say it is the same size as my Seville STS. The visibility out the back is adequate, but not great, about the same as the 300M.   stephen

New here...been reading for awhile though. I found this review of the 300C at autoweek...thought you'd all like to see it.   http://www.autoweek.com/search/search_display.mv?port_code=autowe- ek&cat_code=coverstory&content_code=04277743&Search_T- ype=STD&Search_ID=1934576&record=3   Brad

bph74-   Thanks for the link to that article. This is the first time I heard about this-   "If you want to stretch it near $40k, wait for fall when all-wheel-drive models arrive. Otherwise,you can start taking delivery in April."   AWD- interesting! )   fastdriver

Excellent test drive article! Thanks!   I noted with trepidation the mention of a "wheel hop" issue. I hope the 300C isn't going to be plagued with another run of bad tires like the 300M was. That was no fun at all.   stephen
#575 of 4893 Article, Wheel Hop by fsmmcsi Feb 28, 2004 (9:01 am)
bph74 - Thank you for the link. We know the press preview was Monday 2/23 in Palm Springs, so it will now be fun to watch for the other reviews and test drives - Car & Driver, Motor Trend, Road & Track, and the web sites. I wonder which will be first with a real test drive?   Stephen - I also worry about the wheel hop, but if you are not from California, you don't know about our really bad concrete freeways. The concrete has cuts perpendicular to the lanes every few feet. In many areas, between the cuts, each section of pavement has a dip in the middle, then rises to peaks at both ends. This surface causes many vehicles to hop. Even some of our asphalt roads, such as the 241 toll road, are very rough in some areas. However, I want a car designed to deal with these roads, so once I am able to rent a 300C, I will drive it all over the area to check the ride. It might even be worth replacing the 18 inch wheels with 17 inch wheels with 70-series tires (if they fit over the brakes).
#576 of 4893 300C Real Issue.... by pster Feb 28, 2004 (10:41 am)
There are hundreds of cars available with every design under the sun....the 300C is well thought out, just as the 300M was....the real issue is mechanical integrity. If the 300C has many of the same problems this owner's 300M has had, I predict Chrysler will fail. The Pacifica is not selling, the Crossfire is not selling....the dealers are screaming for new products. The 300C is make it or break it for Chrysler.

For the last time, the Pacifica, at 8500 units a month, is the 3rd best selling crossover in the U.S.

oedipus1608-   What part of the country are you in? I've seen about 5 since the day they came out and one of them was on TV! I don't see any here in CT.   fastdriver   PS Where did you get your figures?
