Just couldn't wait to get my 300 back. Now the 300C is a fine car, IMHO i don't see the CTS - SRT8 being even close to comparing other than similar performance,Yet comfort and luxury Totally goes to Chrysler.
I may be Bias, yet ones a Mid Size car and the other (300) isn't.
Glad i got that out  Now Compare the STS-V and then you'll have a fighting chance at twice the price and still very close performance numbers. |
There is a huge difference between the CTS and CTS-V, as there should be for almost $20 grand difference in price. The CTS-V had nice supportive seats and was roomy up front. The back seat was smaller. It seemed pretty luxurious to me and even came standard with Nav and sunroof. The handling and acceleration were both excellent. The exhaust sounded very healthy at idle and during acceleration. The manual sure was fun but could get old in heavy traffic. In the end I thought the 300C SRT-8 was sweeter and a better value. I had also read complaints about the rear tires wearing out in less than 10k miles and that the rear end was not very strong.
