Popular Post jsharr ★ Posted July 13, 2018 Popular Post Share #1 Posted July 13, 2018 Truck was wrecked 06/02/18. Gieco finally sent me a check for it on 07/08/18. Last night I bought this, a 2017 Chrysler 300C. It has more bells and whistles than any other car I have ever owned and is a huge departure from the truck it replaced. My son keeps finding stuff. Today on the way to school he made it blow cold air on my butt. It has heated and cooled seats and you can control almost all the functions in the car through the touch screen. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Posted July 13, 2018 Share #2 Posted July 13, 2018 Nice car, but I freaking hate touch screens in cars, really think they don't belong in cars. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Posted July 13, 2018 Share #3 Posted July 13, 2018 And considering it's an FCA product, how close is the service center? Do you know though service manager's first name yet? Have you started sending him beer to insure good service when your car is spending time in natural state, on a lift? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far this interface is clean and intuitive. It is sort of like a Microsoft product though, as there are about three ways to control most things. Steering wheel has buttons front and back on both sides and can control phone, audio, cruise, the small display between the tach and speedo. The there are buttons for most of the features either on the dash or doors. You can control climate and audio with knobs and buttons Then there is the touch screen that seems to be the master control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have owned other FCA vehicles and have not had any real issues and this one came with an extended warranty so I am good to go for 6 years or 72000 miles from date of purchase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gun rack and horns on the hood ...I'm sorry, but as your mechanical design consultant I feel I must point out that you can't run belt fed weaponry effectively without some better plan for handling the belts. I'd like to suggest that switching to surface to surface missiles might be a better alternative. You could purchase the heat seeding guidance option as an upgrade, to remain "fully loaded" in your car choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Turner Posted July 13, 2018 Share #14 Posted July 13, 2018 ...we drove my wife's new car over to the beach yesterday. It seems to be about what we expected, but they gave us a "free trial" of Sirius satellite radio. OMG, the Jazz DJ's on Sirius are some of the most irritating radio announcers I have ever had the misfortune to hear. It's swell to be able to drive along and not experience station fade, but I found myself wishing that the Sirius jazz station would fade to give me a reason to switch to something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love my satallite radio, its worth the fees to me. It wasn't bad, I paid for awhile after getting hooked during one of their extended free periods. But I found it was cheaper to go unlimited data plan on my cell and then use one of the multitude of free streaming apps. A lot of times, I honestly don't know how they've stayed in business for so long. While it wasn't bad, I quickly became annoyed by the lack of variety on satellite radio.

I have company phones so try to limit personal data use. My wife doesn't pay for satellite in her car but loved commercial free radio during our road trip.

Muhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha True, my thought is though, there has been lots of effort put towards banning texting and driving and cell phone use in general while driving. So what do automakers do, basically put a tablet in the dash to control everything that requires you to look at it and focus on touching a button that isn't there. The entire logic has seemed completely backwards to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted July 14, 2018 Share #38 Posted July 14, 2018 My brother-in-law got a 2017 Dodge Ram to replace his 2003 Dodge Ram yesterday. The original price, 13 months earlier was $42,300 and he got it for $23,000 with a 2.9% 6-yr loan. It was owned by a rental company and had 30K miles on it but everything was in virtually new shape. He had the Carfax info - no accidents, floods, etc. I rode home with him from the dealer, out in the rural areas of northern Maryland, and his only sorrow was no DVD player. I told him I'd copy all his DVD's into folders on a USB stick drive and then all he had to do was plug it into the USB music ports in his new truck, but he wasn't thrilled. I think he will be when he sees the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share #39 Posted July 14, 2018 I keep finding more things to love. The voice recognition software controls much of the touch screen. I can tell navigation to drive to and a dress or to look for a destination and then it will guide me there. It also will put a smaller navigation map on the small display in the gauge cluster.

The girl that actually sold me the car had great line for selling the extended warranty..."you do realize that you are driving a big ass computer, don't you ? " I asked about the drivetrain warranty covering electronics that make the car go..."lubricated components only" I bought 6 years bumper to bumper coverage for 1700.00 5 years really cause it came with 1 year.
