CHRYSLER 300C 3.0 V6 CRD 4dr Auto (2005)

Chrysler 300c - A cheap Bentley, really

Bentleys costs lots and lots of money - money I don't have. So what do you do if you want one but can't afford one? Buy a Chrysler 300C - obviously! Ok, so it's a cheap version of the beautifully made Bentley, but I think in some departments it more than matches up to it.

Take the looks, for example; a lot of people don't know the difference thanks to that big grille. If you're not a car person you'd be completely stumped! I love how the car looks; it's aggressive yet comforting. It really does turn heads.

Engine wise, the Chrysler 300c is a bit of an odd-ball. You can go for a Hemi V8 which I'm told is superb. I, however, went for the 3.0-litre V6, which is good but anything but European. You can tell the Yanks made it.

Inside you get loads of leather and space but it just doesn't feel as well made as something from BMW or Audi. But after saying that it costs a lot less, too, so you've gotta take it as it is.

A good saloon, all-in-all, and one i'd happily recommend.
