Totally agree fella, hate these foot operated handbrakes and then a bloody dash release - doesn't compute!

If you have an auto, then you just use two feet, I can't really see a need to use it unless you actually park the car.  ;)

You're right.....if you want to wind up the people behind by constantly submitting them to dazzling brakelights when at lights. Sorry, pet hate of mine fella.

I do like them a lot, they do handle a bit wet, although I can't help but like them, but I did have two at one point  :-[

In relation to the 300C - that's a shame as I quite fancied the estate version of it. :(

The curious thing is my wife also liks them - which is very odd indeed as she seldom likes anything that I like. ???

i test drove 2 when they first appeared loved the look but very disappointed with the ride one had standard wheels which was ok but just ok the other had these lovely shinny drug dealer alloys but handling was very bad even ended the test drive early.

i thought the whole car was basically an old merc e class so i read somewhere

Test drove a Hemi with 20 inch startech alloys. Agree it was no sports car. But boy did it shift and handled better than an elite I had previously. The omega sport/MV6 suspension is better than the 300c. But you do get a lot of kit/space/grunt/fuel bills. Chrysler dealer servicing seem quite cheap though. Not for the shy though, got noticed at every turn for better or worse.

Didnt buy in the end due to it being too large for the garage.

I can't remember when I have ever been able to get a car in the garage perhaps in the early 90' when I used to also rent a council 'lock up' for a classic car....... :D :D :D
