Bought about this ex rental about this time last year, put about 12k on it since then, now at 57,500.
The good: Stow n go is amazing. This thing has storage FOR DAYS! No one told me the middle row could slide forward and backward, which was mind blowing to me. Don't even get me started on the truly gigantic center console.
Love the Pentastar engine. Plenty of power always on tap. The 62TE trans shifts nicely and quickly if you leave the "eco" mode button off. Just runs nice and smooth. Exhaust has a nice sound to it in the cabin as well.
Feels nice and stable at 75-80mph on the highway.
All the controls are logically laid out, and easily within reach of both the driver and passenger. Love love love the heated steering wheel.
Been averaging 20-25mpg in it.
The bad: It's kind of loud in the cabin when flying down the highway, but I'm used to how quiet the 300 is. I feel like I have to crank the radio up louder to overcome it. At lower speeds it's not noticeable.
Has the same stereo my 2011 Durango had, the 9 speaker amplified system with the old 6.5" Uconnect... and it has some of the same exact quirks. All the inputs have different levels of sound quality. FM sounds okay, on SiriusXM each and every channel has a different level of quality, or lack thereof. Getting Bluetooth streaming to work is a lesson in patience. At least Bluetooth quality is decent in this, it was truly horrendous in my Durango.
I drive in a more... spirited manner. Van doesn't like that, though I can't really knock it because that's not it's intended purpose
I wish it had a little more leg room, but I'm 6'2" or 6'3" and built like a line backer.
