Review of the 2014 Chrysler 300 @ Woody’s Automotive Group!

Here’s a review of the 2014 Chrysler 300. We have several here at Woodys Automotive Group and if you like this review come check them out this weekend!! For hours and directions click here! (888)869-0963

The 2014 Chrysler 300 is a full-size sedan available in six primary trim levels: 300, 300S, 300C, John Varvatos Luxury Edition, SRT8 Core and SRT8. The 300S is something of an island in the 300 lineup, adding 8 horsepower under the hood (V6 only), 20-inch alloy wheels with performance tires, a “touring” sport suspension, a Sport mode and shift paddles for the transmission, remote start, unique black-out styling elements, foglights, an eight-way power passenger seat, piano-black cabin accents, a rearview camera and a 10-speaker Beats by Dr. Dre sound system.

Stepping up to the 300C adds the following to the base 300’s equipment list: 18-inch alloy wheels, remote start, foglights, additional chrome exterior accents, a driver-side auto-dimming mirror, LED cabin lighting, heated and cooled front cupholders, power-adjustable pedals, a power tilt-and-telescoping heated steering wheel, leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, driver memory functions, heated rear seats, a power rear sunshade, a rearview camera, a navigation system with Garmin-sourced software and a six-speaker Alpine audio system.Front angled view of Chrysler 300 The 300C John Varvatos Luxury Edition (named after the menswear fashion designer) tacks on niceties like “platinum chrome” exterior trim, 20-inch wheels, the touring suspension and Sport shift features from the 300S, upgraded leather upholstery, extended leather trim and hand-sanded wood inserts.

The SRT8 Core shifts gears to high-performance mode, featuring a 6.4-liter V8 engine, special 20-inch wheels, Brembo brakes, black exterior accents, a performance-oriented three-mode stability control system, launch control, sport-tuned steering and cloth-upholstered sport seats. The Core’s other standard features are relatively basic, however, mirroring the entry-level 300 for the most part. The full-flavored SRT8 comes with different 20-inch wheels and adds a three-mode adjustable sport suspension, front and rear parking sensors, adaptive and auto-leveling bi-xenon headlamps, sport seats with leather/faux-suede upholstery and most of the luxury features from the 300C. front exterior angled view Many of the upper trims’ features are available on the lower trims as stand-alone options or via various packages. Other option highlights include a panoramic sunroof and a 19-speaker Harman Kardon sound system.

All 2014 Chrysler 300 trims except the SRT8 come standard with a 3.6-liter V6 that produces 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. The 300S V6 gets minor tweaks (including a sport-tuned exhaust) that bump output to 300 hp. An eight-speed automatic is standard, as is rear-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is optional. On the technology front, the standard 8.4-inch touchscreen interface is one of my favorites, pairing large buttons and crisp graphics with a logical menu structure. Also, the 300’s diverse array of audio options, including an Alpine system, a Harman Kardon system, and of course the thumping Beats by Dr. Dre setup is pretty amazing !

2013 DODGE DURANGO CITADEL- Auto Dimming Mirrors

Many carsExterior Angled View come with a very cool safety feature that sometimes gets over looked. Literally, we look at it every day and 95% of the time don’t know its there! Auto-dimming mirrors -electrochromatic!

So I’m going to give a little back ground, then explain why this is a good feature to have. Driving during a dark, eerie night, on a road with no natural or man-made lighting may be fun, as long as you and your car are the only ones on that road. When an incoming vehicle approaches, its headlights turn into your eyes’ worst enemy. When it comes from the front, for brief second, everything turns black. When it comes from the rear, your vision retracts, desperately trying to battle the glare of the other vehicle’s headlights. Dimming mirrors are intended to counteract the Troxler Fading Effect. This phenomenon occurs when you try to focus your vision to a single point in space for more than 20 seconds. This will make a stimulus outside the range of sight fade away. Check out this diagram for instance. 

Troxler Diagram
According to studies conducted to reveal glare effects on the eyes of the drivers, the Troxler effect increases driver reaction time by up to 1.4 seconds. This means that when traveling at 60 mph, it would take the driver 123 feet to see and react to road hazards. Dimming mirrors used in the automotive industry are fitted with sensors to detect the intensity of the light. Usually, there are two sensors, one pointed at the front and the other at the rear. The interior mirror’s sensors and electronics control the dimming of both interior and exterior mirrors. When they detect a change in light intensity, they trigger an electrical charge ,applied to the glass through a low-voltage power supply. The electricity travels through an electrochromic gel in between the two electrically conductive coated pieces of glass which make up the mirror. As a result, the mirror darkens accordinly to the light detected by the sensors. Since these are automatic, the drivers hand never has to leave the steering wheel! If this features sounds good to you check out the inventory at Woody’s Automotive Group!
