Chrysler 300

Two months ago, I reviewed the Chrysler 300. I hated that car, but it has its pros and cons. Let's review them.

The Pros

First of all, the space inside the car is decent and so is the ride.There is plenty of space to seat and for cargo. There is a nice and big glove box that I can fit my head into. The materials are fairly decent, especially comparing to where Chrysler was five years ago. The U-connect is nice and big and easy to use. The ride is smooth and the car seems calm. That's unfortunately where the pros end.

Cons

First of all, the V6 may have plenty of power but it feels weak and slow. It is hard to maneuver around the tight streets of Montreal. That eight speed doesn't help with Chrysler's performance case either. This car also has a good share of software glitches. For example, the open button inside the car for the trunk is nice and high so the knee wouldn't hit it. However, the trunk magically open when driving on the freeway. It is very dangerous.

Now, we must address the looks. This car was an average sedan before it changed. It was when the PT Cruiser existed. Chrysler must have invented throw back Thursday because this is a disgusting throwback of the 70s. The car has boxy pillars and weird tail lights from cars of the 70s.

Overall, I don't like this car. It is ugly, slow, and has too many software glitches that could be dangerous. However, the ride is smooth and there is decent space inside.

5 Expensive Cars That are Garbage

Not all cars that stink are cheap. Below is the list of cars that are expensive and terrible.

1. Mercedes CLA

Do you know what car this is?
Try to guess.

The car shown above is a Mercedes. It is nothing like a real Mercedes. It is front wheel drive, unlike a proper Mercedes, which should be real wheel drive. The interior seems more dated and not as colorful as the new C300 sedan. It also doesn't look like a Mercedes, and feels cheaper.

2. BMW X6

Families buy SUV's for practicality. This does none of the things people buy an SUV for.  The sloping roof line eats headroom and cargo space, which means less practicality. It doesn't drive as well as a car and doesn't go offroad as well as a proper SUV. This is more expensive than a regular X5, its brother, and yet it isn't as practical as the X5. Simply, this "SUV coupe" is a total failure.

3. BMW X4

BMW thought that this X6 madness was so great that they made another one that is just as bad but smaller. Just like its brother, it has the same exact faults. It doesn't drive as well as a 328i, and it is just like the X3, terrible, at off roading.

4.Smart Fortwo 2009

The second generation Smart Fortwo was expensive and low quality. First of all, it had an automatic robot transmission and manual wasn't available in America. The car was so small that the seats were not aligned. The car was too big for it to park in weird ways. The price was crazy. The tiny little car started at more than ten grand in which people could have gotten a Nissan Versa.

5. Lexus IS 250

This Lexus is terrible. First of all, it is ugly as Lexus doesn't know young and hip people.  Second of all, Lexus messed up in technology. There is a weird remote touch system that is in an awkward position and it doesn't have a back button. Third of all, it is poorly engineered. The front passenger space is tiny because of the ultra-fat console area that houses the remote touch.
