I have been looking at them and monaro's still prefer a monaro but there seems more choice with the 300c.  :-\

Had one in the states whilst on holiday,mmmmm V8 Hemi,bit like the Omega,can lift it's skirt up and fly,but like the UK there's not much opportunity to boil the hides ::) and it's a big old barge so you have to pick the bigger parking spaces :y

Cheap for what it is, the interior is never as good as Merc/Audi etc. I supplied a 3.5 V6 touring recently, nice car to drive and does have massive presence. Some parts can be hard to obtain. And there are some peculiarities, for example the wheel nuts can swell up making it very hard to remove them. Some brake parts, and sensors are hard to obtain.

But overall nice cars, all have Xenon's, electric seats, cruise, leather.

I've often thought about an estate one of these, but somehow the styling is just a bit OTT. I can't explain, it would seem to fit, big engine, big car, RWD etc, but as someone above said a bit of a flashy drug dealing Arthur Daley car. If only it was a bit more subtle . . . .  :-\

No good if you want to carry anything. They're tiny in the back for such a big car.  ???

Not keen on the estate and like you say a bit on the small size  :(

Like the saloon though , lot of car for the money . Usually park next to one most weeks , makes the Omega look/feel like a mini  ;D

Also, looking at Emds' picture, doesn't look like a flat/level rear load area, seems there is a "well". No good for me at all.

Do you think they could have used any more plastic inside that car :o

That's not even a big rucksack in there either... makes the Insignia hatch look practical  ;D

Father has the 300c diesal estate. Just about enough room in the boot for couple bags o shopping, and when I have to drive them to Heathrow, struggle to get 2 full size cases and two flight bags in the boot.
 but plenty of cabin space,good infotainment system,and super cold aircon,seats like soft armchairs.
Meant for straight Yankee roads,not English cart tracks. :)

Always thought the estate looked quite small in the back,odd really as the saloon boot is a big un.

Yep, they're nice  :y. I know of one which is going, however it's a bit chavved' up in my opinion.
