In this video I give a short tour and test drive of the 2003 Chrysler 300M Special. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I show the car idling as well as take it on a thorough test drive through the city and highway on various surfaces. A thorough drive of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

The 300M & LHS/Concorde are my Favorite Chrysler's from this period....the interiors are comfortable,decently strong Engines (well at least the 3.5) and Roomy.

@themars2011 5 лет назад

Beautiful car! Wish these were RWD or AWD tho...

@johnreyes4546 Год назад

The early 2000s Chrysler 300m, Cirrus, Sebring, LHS, and Concorde are one of my favorite cars 🚗 of all time because they make excellent vehicles for young teenage drivers to start as their first car

@luisantoniosblog.gonzalez9315 3 года назад

Very reliable car, I own a 2004 base model and I just love it. I keep it clean and serviced enough to enjoy it. It wouldn’t be easy to let it go.

@shilodemery5559 Год назад

I got a 04 base model also 👍

@chryslerprowlerv8 7 лет назад

Still my favorite car ever. I'm gonna buy a low mileage Special soon as I'm done paying off my Fusion In January

@jaythomas3224 4 года назад

Surprisingly it's quite a few in the midwest

@panthersfan1790 14 лет назад

This is my favorite car by far! It looks, sounds, and just is beautiful. It's a shame Chrysler replaced it with the boxy thugmobile 300; they should've continued making the M. Kyle, you are a lucky man to have driven one of these in high school. You should let me borrow it for my senior prom, as high school girls will be all over the stud who drives a 300M. Great vid!

@Jasonsfarm 12 лет назад

I drive an '01 every day. I learned to drive an '06 300 Touring, and the 300M feels soooo much better. Good to see other folks appreciate them as well.

@jstersmithson 4 года назад

I'm getting a beautiful fully loaded 2004 Chrysler 300M Special with all the options and low miles too it's dark Blue with white interior I can't wait too get

@fthrcast 13 лет назад

I have to say without a doubt that my purchase of the 300m Special is the best used car I have ever bought or seen to date , no bias. Right onto the highway , I was getting 90mph having only pressed the gas in about an inch. Never needed any throaty acceleration to reach that speed and didn't want to test the car , prior to working on it myself , just get it home. The Special Edition gets 34mpg highway , more than a base 300m (single exhaust). No restriction of the exhaust , but calibrated.

@sacr3 12 лет назад

I just bought a 2004 Chrysler 300M special... I'm EXTREMELY excited to give it a ride

@kbw.rvwhntr 11 лет назад

Mine is identical to this except mine is a 2002. Had it since 07 and its by far the best car I've ever had!

@exwpgr 7 месяцев назад

Thank you, I enjoyed watching that! I have a 2004 300M I purchased in 2018. After driving it the first time, I wished I had purchased one brand new back in the day.

@Rick.Astley.Enjoyer 13 лет назад

my dad gave me this car and i love it, being 17 and getting a car like that is just amazing, he had gotten the new 300c so i got this one the only problem i have is its so low or a ride i find myself scraping the bottom on nearly everything even steep drive-ways, if only it had like another 2-3 inches of lift it would be perfect, but im not complaining.

@fthrcast 13 лет назад

The 300m Special Edition's do have dual exhaust , as I just bought a 2002 300m Special Edition / Berline , midnight blue in color. 2 catalytic converters mount right beside the engine where they won't rust from being actually under the firewall or a bit further back. Each exhaust pipe goes into a dual piped resonator via a Ypipe. Then another Ypipe is connected to the exit of the resonator , which leads to yet another chrome hotbox behind where the rear axle would be. Then out thru 2 pipes.

@Thecarguy1254 13 лет назад

Engine has a real nice note to it and 250 hp to boot! Looks like a great car.

@UInACrash 14 лет назад

Chrysler has always built great looking products and I really hope that they pull through. I have high hopes that the 200 and 300 will be as great looking as they are as refined, reliable, machines.

@mike2moto 12 лет назад

such a gorgeous car. i almost bought a 300M, but i didn't because it was 180,000 miles old and had some power window problems. drove like a dream. great power. i did read of chrysler's engine problems with the sebring and stuff, so i ended up buying a honda. no regrets :)

@dave11686 14 лет назад

Great video as always Kyle! That 300M is beautiful!

@form109 12 лет назад

to be Perfectly Honest the " 2nd Gen Cab Foward" LH cars are my Favorite Chryslers....ever....the LHS,Concorde and 300M in praticular...they've got style,Luxury and preformance,

@markbaker3172 8 лет назад

Iam looking at buying a 300m to add to the "harem'haha it is hard to find one that is not driven to death thanks for the vid cheers

@shaunbeasley2792 10 лет назад

@j.wagner8639 3 года назад

One of my favorites for sure

@sheemobile 14 лет назад

a nice luxury car with a nice sound to it

@debbieswegman8418 8 лет назад

I am going to see one this evening to purchase it if I like it. Its a 2003 300M Special. They told me it had been in a "fender bender" once upon a time therefore the title is "rebuilt". I'm on the fence on whether I should buy it. Good price though, $2800 with brand new tires just put on. Mechanic is selling to me. Loaded Leather All options work Moonroof Heated seats New timing belt New brakes New water pump Runs and drives good Rebuilt title 2,800 obo No trades Cask only What do you think?

@fthrcast 13 лет назад

Oh , and the dual exhaust system also has 2 mufflers as well , 1 on each corner prior to the chrome tips , which are wirefed welded completely onto the tailpipe ends , not screwed or clamped. It is quite a large exhaust system , but the most expensive parts (the catalytic converters) are protected and will last. Mine are still looking like they might only be a year old , even though they are original. In fact , the entire exhaust system is original. Not a fix or repair often exhaust system.

@carlweeks9256 10 лет назад

I own a 2003 300M Special, just like this, but Graphite Metallic color. bought in 2012 with only 95,000 miles. I almost bought a silver one like this, before i bought mine, though.

@lopez12345ml 5 лет назад

Still love this car !

@shaunbeasley2792 10 лет назад

they are really good cars . very dependable , all this talk about crappy mpg is just that crap , keep your foot out of it and its really good on gas. if you don't own one or never have , you want understand . go test drive one , I did and it s still sitting pretty in my drive . still don't miss that Z71 traded in on it . 2001 300 m . 13 years and still hauls ass . anybody know the true top speed , I gotten 134 out of but ran out of road .

Chrysler sucks

@Alan-tr5uj 5 лет назад

There's plenty of us that have an affinity for Chrysler/Mopar vehicles that came from the "Chrysler Sucks" camp. The truth is Chrysler Co. built some of the best looking cars of the 1990s. Right before the "Merger of Equals" between Chrysler & Daimler Benz, Chrysler was awash in cash; the only US Automaker that was increasing it's market share in 1998- the only US Automaker not losing money at that point. Robert Eaton was a greedy man, that handed a company with a bright future over to the Germans. We all saw how they picked thru the bones for whatever value they could extract. Daimler is in the position they are today ONLY due to the money they essentially stole from Chrysler. Chrysler's products during this time were awful- and we have the Germans to thank for it. What remains of the Chrysler Corp. today under FCA is a mere shadow of it's former self, however this could be leading to an amazing third comeback. FCA has been very tight lipped on future product for Chrysler & Dodge, but I assure you an entire new generation of vehicles are preparing to launch under these marques- taking advantage of all the new platform tech developed for Jeep, Alfa, RAM, etc. The changes made to existing product at Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and RAM under FCA has been nothing short of a miracle. Totally new product will be best in class- you can bet on it. With as bad a reputation that they earned as Daimler Chrysler, FCA is aware that there is no room for sub-par product. They have to be class-leading, or nothing at all. I've purchased more than a few new FCA era Dodge & Jeeps- with a new RAM 1500 coming this spring. If you haven't had any experience with their newer products, you've really got no frame of reference to base an opinion- except for on outdated information. Ive driven Toyotas mostly for my new vehicles prior to my new FCA vehicles. I don't feel I've downgraded based on my experience.

@SansuiAu717 4 года назад

Man the best car that i had ever own , I owned the 300m SPEACIAL lol and the tire back then in Canada was soo pricey because they were one of the first big company to bring the low profile tire and no one had them in stock lol

Kyle I have a important question. Yesterday I went to a gm dealership at 6:30 PM when it was closed. I sat in like 10 unlocked cars, is that ok?

@MrBeatahalic 12 лет назад

im getting a 99 300M in the next few days white exterior Black interior car is an all around beautiful car i cant wait

@fthrcast 13 лет назад

Actually what they have done with the exhaust , is incorporate 2 catalytic converters into what a header design is. In that - each catalytic converter has bolt on connecting flanges like a header , on their ends. This can make the catalytic converters last the life of the car , just like manifolds. You simply bolt on everything from the catalytic flange ends , just like you would onto headers. Even the flange ends remain inside the unibody frames , so only the rest is exposed to underbody.

@stlchevy95 14 лет назад

@4wheeler14 14 лет назад

Kyle, may I ask why you always take the cars up to around 3500 RPM when taking off? It seems like your normal acceleration, but then you have to let off the gas earlier.

@WINGDORF 12 лет назад

Hey, it's a good movie! my 300M is an imported Car from Germany. They will not be comparated with any other vehicle. Any car have own qualities. 300M is a soft, confortable, and performing Sedan. My 300M is an 01/2001 silver 2.7, coming from Heidelberg. A Wonder...I'm a old commercial from Chrysler-France, and happy to run with my 300M.

@lighturple 14 лет назад

Hey Kyle. Another awesome video. Could you try to get your hands on an IS 350? I know you've done a couple 250's(great videos on those as well), but I'd really love to see a test drive for the 3.5. Thanks.

@zozman1994 14 лет назад

@saabkyle04 did you like driving it, like would you recommend it, and the Chrysler Crossfire has autostick, correct?

@aeonjoey3d 10 лет назад

I've owned a '99 (cinnamon glaze) and a 2004 Platinum Edition 300M, and I realize every time I think of buying something new that I'm spoiled because I can't go down to a 4 cylinder or even most V6 cars because they just don't handle like the 300M does, plus it's luxury amenities makes it a great car for the buck. It's unfortunate that they have some common problems, e.g. the transmission, but once that's rebuilt at well over 120k miles, then you're good.

@iDev24 12 лет назад

@chaseww 6 лет назад

Nice, I have a 2000 300m. Love these cars, The 3.5 engines are great but a bitch to work on some things. They were ahead of there time. My 300m has 189,000 miles and still very nice and running strong. I will be putting new struts all the way around soon. Most of the front end is new. They are super nice to drive, You just have to keep them up and they will last for over 250,000 miles. I would put another engine in mind if needed. DONT BUY CHEAP PARTS!!!!! Buy good quality parts and this thing will last a very long time. And DONT GO CHEAP on front end parts at all!!!! I know its hard to find good parts cause everything is made in china or Mexico, ITS SUCKS!!!!! I would pay for good quality parts made in AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ganee6a 14 лет назад

is it front wheel drive or rear ?

@StormAutoAdventures 13 лет назад

@Iwasbored76 Hey man, type in MotorWeek Chrysler 300M Special. They tested it & put it on a youtube video. It did 0-60 in 7.2 and ran the 1/4 mile in 15.5 @ 91 mph. The regular '99 300M was tested in motor trend and got to 60 in 7.7 and ran the 1/4 mile in 15.9 @ 89.8 during that test. Neither are super fast cars, but for what they are they move pretty well. A 4400 pound 160 HP '95 Explorer V6 did 0-60 in the 9's just so you know lol. You're right about the tranny though. I totally agree

@Sylvain603 12 лет назад

Bring back the Chrysler 300M and Chrysler300M special. I like it so much. The most recent Chrysler 300 car is so ugly to me. Great video. Awesome.

@mikeluscher159 14 лет назад

u forgot to demonstrate the autostick?

@ledgic1317 12 лет назад

have you ever driven both cars to compare or is this just youre opinion? granted the car is fwd and a v6. since theres virtually no torque steer i can live with that and its a 3.5l high output v6. nothing wrong with that. i like the c from a power standpoint , but its interior is rubbish compared to the 300m and plenty of people will second that. like it or not the m handles better, turns better, looks better,and its lighter. some people like my self prefer those characteristics.

Ok I'm a new subbie. Writing out of Houston Texas. I currently have an opportunity to purchase a Chrysler M 300 Limited Edition from an elderly guy. It's a V-6- 5.9. it was built on a BMW Frame. Was used as a test car. Only 2 owners. The previous owner was his sister., 150,009+ Miles. New motor and transmission. He is asking $4,500.00. What do you think?

@IKhanNot 14 лет назад

This car needs a 5 speed or 6 speed automatic transmission. The 4 speeds are too tall to really show the true power of this engine. It's a fantastic car even though I'm not a Chrysler fan.
