Goodbye, my love

[CB]

Rental review will be up tomorrow. The short of it: I get how they’ve sold this without major updates for the last decade and a half.

[Qaaaaa]

@cb What engine do the rental specs get?

[CB]

@qaaaaa V6 and AWD.

[WhoIsTheLeader]

@cb Did you still manage to break the rear end loose?

[Vondon302]

@cb My FIL has the 300 with the same combo. He loves it.
That v6 is a good motor moves that 300 pretty well.

[EssExTee]

@cb they're good cars, brent

[Poor_sh]

@cb don't scare me like that! I thought this was about something important

[ItalianJobR53]

@qaaaaa I've gotten a 5.7 V8 RWD spec as a rental

[CB]

@poor_sh No, that post unfortunately will be coming sooner rather than later.

[CB]

@whoistheleader No.

[davesaddiction]

@cb Still basically an old E-class chassis, right?

Booooo! Shoulda tried harder.

@vondon302 and delivers a real 30mpg highway, which I still say is not bad at all for cars this size

[KITT222]

@cb I've driven a V6 AWD. VERY competent. And a long hood to look over. It does really make sense how they keep selling, not counting bros that want muscle cars.

[Boxer_4]

@cb Do they still have that stupid shifter that auto-returns without positive engagement. I had a 300 as a rental a few years ago with that setup and it was infuriating!

[Huzer]

The Charger and Challenger are basically the only cars with a trunk that fits goalie gear. Of course, there are many hatchbacks that do it better.

When I test drove multiple Scat Pack Challengers, the size was manageable, it was comfortable, and it was competently quick. I never did drive a Charger, though. The Mustangs I've driven are a hard no for hockey usage.

[jminer]

Had one as a rental for work last year, it was a V8 red, but yeah a fine car. Fit 4 full grown adult men no problem.

[Manwich]

@cb
I rented a Charger GT V6 AWD in the past as well. It's a pretty nice car.

[RallyDarkstrike]

@cb Looking forward to it! I am not a big car guy, or a domestic brands buy, but I do REALLY like the Charger. I actually quite like the sportier trims of 300 as well (considering they are the same car underneath!)

[Rider]

@huzer That's the most Canadian test criteria since the small Tim Hortons coffee cup test.

[dogisbadob]

WHy buy a W210 when you get the A-class hatch and C-Class wagon up there?
