You know where you are? You're in the suburbs, baby. You're gonna drive.

Yeah I honestly think that dealer is a money laundering front, there are other cars they have that are also way overvalued

The Boxster at home:





I already have a Miata, but the opportunity came up and I couldn't not take it. Already cleaned it up a bit and replaced the struts and a couple other suspension components. Putting stuff in it is a pain (the only storage is behind the seats) and it is as slow as all the reviews say, but otherwise I'm having a great time.

Hell yeah, fun car. I’ve got a 2zz/c60 in mine and have it under 2100lbs. it rips.

Recommendation: Put a k in yours and super rip.

I got a dog and he couldn't fit in the Cayman. Good news is, I traded it in for 5k more than I bought it for, because the economy is weird. Bad news is, my (much lower now) car payment's interest rate is rear end, because the economy is weird. The car goes like hell and handles surprisingly well, for weighing 4,000 pounds. My only 'gripe' is the paddles might as well not be there, but the transmission pretty much does what you want it to do anyhow. I don't think there's any universe I wouldn't rather have this car in a manual, but otherwise it's great.

And I'm financing my car because I have no other lines of credit or student loans so I have to keep something going on while I save for a house, please don't judge me.

Just picked up a 2019 Chrysler 300C. Had been looking at these for awhile. Was following a dealer on cars.com that had 5 of these, all identically optioned, all less than 15k miles. Manufacturer cars says Carfax. Never privately titled. Well, the other day I noticed only one left. I pulled the trigger. I absolutely love it. I like big sedans, and this is probably the only newer car I really like from any make. Seems like all manufacturers aren't making actual cars anymore. Just trucks/SUVs, and crossovers which make me puke. I used to have a 2002 Chrysler 300M Special, and more recently had a 2011 Crown Victoria LX. Always liked a big 4 door car.

Its loaded with all the stuff you'd expect these days. SafetyTec package with lane departure assist, adaptive cruise, blind spot warnings, emergency brake assist etc. Heated/cooled cupholders, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rears. Heated steering wheel. 5.7L Hemi, 8spd trans. 20" polished aluminum wheels. Really like the look of these. I know they're getting long in tooth but it drives beautifully, and since it was a manufacturer car the interior is like brand freaking new. Still smells new. Makes me grin like a fool driving it.

Some pics.

I too, dig full size sedans (see my '05 Crown Vic P71 as evidence.)
I like the 300C - but, Chrysler...
Still seem to be plenty of them moving under their own power in my area, so I guess they're not complete garbage.

Love the Panther cars. Had a '95 Grand Marquis years ago, and a '11 CV LX more recently. I seriously was looking for a Marauder before I got the 300C, but they're getting old and prices are ridiculous. Plus I wanted a car with all the newer bells and whistles the 300C has.

Chrysler seems to get a bad rap, but I've never had any major problems with any of their vehicles I've owned. I had a 1995 Dodge Intrepid ES, was a great car. Traded it on a 2002 Chrysler 300M Special, which was one of the best cars I've ever owned. Never had any major problems, just basic maintenance stuff. This 300C seems great so far. Still feels absolutely new. Time will tell, but I think they've been making the LX/LD platform long enough now to get the bugs worked out of it...lol.

Chrysler isn't really an different than any of the other domestic manufacturers. They can do good work on cars that are big and/or have big engines and kind of drop the ball on everything else.

It's a 2017 CTS V-sport and I love it.



Vsport fam :hfive: It's such a massively fun car, emphasis on massive. I've had mine for just about a year and I'm still floored by how good it feels in hard cornering. It's more fun to throw around than my 500 Abarth was.
