Chrysler 300 backseat lyft review

Turrible. Even with the bucket-ish seats headroom is nonexistent. If I sat straight up, my chin would be level with the headliner. Interior is meh. Sea of hard plastic. The panoramic sunroof is nice though! And the exterior styling is great.

So far the new Jetta is the best backseat lyft. Fantastic leather, lots of room, and well-thought out interior. Prius 5 is surprisingly nice too.

(edit) Between the crazy high and thick sills, and the tiny rear door, g etting out of the rear seats is more of a pain than getting out of my Miata.

I didn’t know what a bad interior was until I took an Uber from the airport to home and it was a Chrysler 200. Felt like I was sitting on bare metal with a little bit of carpet on it. Plus it had very blown shocks and the 405 freeway is mercilessly bumpy when it’s actually moving. I felt abused after that ride. I'd hope the 300 is at least a little better!

so, taller than average but not terribly so. I’m surprised the 300 has so little headroom back there given its relatively boxy greenhouse.

Funny, I took 2 L yfts this week - in a Cruze and a WRX ( with Manuel!) Both were pretty comfy - especially the WRX ( I’m only 5' 9" though).

Im 6'2" and i drive a 300 and have plenty of room. That’s why I bought it. I have a feeling you got into a 200 thinking it was a 300 those I can’t even sit in in any seat. As for the leather it's no different than any other car.

According to Car and Driver, the 300 has slightly more rear seat head room than a new BMW 5 Series (and over 3 inches more leg room) . I don’t know how AIM  felt cramped back there.

Was Manuel nice? I hear  he is good at driving a manual transmission.

I call BS I am 6' and have no problem with the backseat. It’s a great ride.

I have one, great for driver and front passenger, lame headroom for adults. Roofline slopes back and steals a lot of the headroom. Not bad for kids car seats though.

The 300 was definitely the worst lyft ride I’ve had.

Well, minus the Prius driver who was driving like a maniac and left me stumbling out, sick. Oh and the other Prius driver that crashed. Oh and the F150 driver that was yelling racial slurs out the window. Oh and...

I love the way they look, and definitely would never mix one up with a 200. But rear seat headroom is terrible.

They're neat cars. I'd love to try driving one sometime
