2003 Chrysler 300M Special Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Tour

[@shadowuser00]

Love it! My first car was a 300M Special. Mine was a 2002 and in black. I miss it so much. Thanks for this review. It brought back a ton of great memories. :)

[@ch3mtrls]

was not expecting that exhaust note at 6:15 lol wow

[@DIYDanCars]

These cars are an absolute bargain on the used market. I have had both a 2000 300m and a 2002 300m special as a daily driver and they have been bullet proof well in to the high 100k mile range. To keep these cars reliable change the transmission fluid every 50k with only ATF+4 and change the timing belt and water pump every 100k miles or 8 years. These cars will last if taken care of.

[@DIYDanCars]

A local garage did my t-belt, water pump, idler rollers, and tensioner for less than $700. May a dealer will charge that much but not an independent garage.

[@kowalagt4380]

You do not have to remove the top half of the engine, but you do need to remove the radiator.

[@mikemoyercell]

DIY Dan correct no trans flushes tho, only changes and make sure to use ONLY the mopar branded atf+4 - I do this to my Cirrus lxi with the V6 and put a new trans filter on with a dorman trans pan that has a drain plug.

[@mikemoyercell]

That way I can change the fluid without dropping the pan which in return keeps the filter clean.

[@TvehX]

You don't have to take off the top half of the engine... You take off a crossmember, cooling fans, a radiator hose, and belts. Then it's just plates. Don't even need to remove the flywheel if you slip the belt partway in and rotate the crankshaft.

[@terrancemaher4793]

Just bought the identical car with 39600 miles on it. It needed tires and brakes. The best part is the cornering ability of the 300m Special. Its like your on rails. Still learning how to drive the machine. I have only put about 2000 miles on it so far. It is such a good looking car and very comfortable car to drive.

[@drewhour]

We have the same car from 2002, original owners. It now has 105k miles on it.. and it is a piece of junk. So many problems throughout the years and so many pending issues. Roofs rusted, steering is unusually loose, transmission is slipping, electrical problems, paint is poor, may I go on?

[@SmokeyRam]

I got a 2002 300M special with nearly 350k on the clock and its been a fantastic car, only had one mechanical failure on the car and it was the passenger side rockers. However my trans is starting to show its age but its not totally out. My car drives fantastic, handles like a go kart and is easily one the best cars ive ever owned.

[@kregbell6961]

Do you still have it??

[@Themanfromglad]

thank you for the amazing video on the 300m Special. I liked your videos already but a friend is GIVING me a 2004 300M Special and this video just convinced me not to refuse! Thanks again! eB

[@rwwebb392]

I LOVE this car. I'm actually looking to get one just like this but an 02 with 38k miles. And the fact that you're doing this video Saabkyle is amazing. Ironically enough, just like you, I had a 2000 Chrysler 300M in high school too, before I had a terrible accident and totaled it (not my fault btw!). Absolutely fantastic, thanks very much!

[@tubetuner]

My last car was an '01 300M with the luxury package. I loved that car. Then it caught on fire while driving. I'm trying to buy a '99 300M now. They are great cars as long as you take care of them.

[@ViperT24]

This car's a beauty. I actually also started with a 2000 300M in early college and still have it, I love that car. Comfort, power, performance...they're too often overlooked. The new Chrysler 300 series are okay, but I wish they'd go back to the sleeker models of the early 2000's

[@googleaccount1132]

I have a 2001 Dodge Intrepid 3.5 V6 ES model with autostick and I had front end damage I could not find another Intrepid the same color with the e s model fog lights so I grabbed the front clip hood fenders bumper off of a Chrysler 300M and bolt it all on it was even the same color and then I did an interior swap front seats and rear seats everything bolted right in it was awesome I confuse a lot of people with that car but it looks great it look like an Intrepid from the back and a Chrysler 300M from the front! DAMN TREE FELL ON IT IN A STORM R.I.P

[@noahh914]

That sounds hilarious. You should get a 300M now and stick the Intrepid rear on it.

[@AdrijanaNikolic]

What a sound....

[@michaelhildebrand7359]

These are neat cars! One of my childhood dream cars.

[@SuperSportSS]

This is one of the only Chrysler cars that I would love to own. They are so beautiful.

[@googleaccount1132]

FROM 5:30 TO 6:21 THAT EXHAUST SOUNDZ NICE!!! MAN U SHOULD'VE DROVE IT THEY SOUND GREAT AT HIGHER RPM TOO.!

[@Techjunkiero]

Love it. Nice wheels and classic interior, those gauges!

[@90Mrknowitall]

LOL Epic @ 1:39 train horn blows 1:40 kyle honks horn 1:42 train horns again then 1:46 random car horn LOL

[@mj201090]

my uncle had a 01 a long time ago and i was sad when he got rid of it. great in depth videos all of them are awesome good job to you kyle

[@sacr3]

Steering is shockingly nice, check it out, its one of the first things people notice with the specials is that the steering is great taking into consideration the things that should make it bad.

[@panzerfaust5046]

"when the roof came down" *opens sunroof*

[@jimmbobb]

PanzerFaust the roof didn't come down, it caved in

[@bunny4t4]

Very sweet car , in really nice condition. You don`t see many of these around at all anymore. Great find, Thanks Kyle.

[@Iwasbored76]

My dad drives a 99 300m. He bought it when there was only one color and that was black with black leather and wood grain. And the only option was chrome or matte rims. it has 44k miles on it and was what i largely learned to drive in.

[@greenghost3756]

This 2003 300M is making me fall in love with mine all over a again, its exact twin. Mine needs a bit of work done to it

[@carloslorel1302]

Nice ride very clean looks like its smooth on the road good job on the videos man

[@Careica]

Man you have one hell of a fantastic job! :) Thank you for so many videos! Keep going!

[@acuraluver]

really nice car!! nice video review as always bud! take it easy!

[@universalegend21]

I had a 99 300m it was my first car I bought it for $600 with nearly 200,000 miles still loved it

[@ke228]

Great vid Kyle. Amazing exhaust note these had!

[@1mlb704]

I have to say I really like the styling of these 300s. I detest the brick styling of those new ones though :P

[@StormAutoAdventures]

Awesome tour of an amazing machine! Well done man :)

[@jamesanderson4014]

Now, the only modified areas I see is wood molding dash assembly and all red door courtesy lights which look to be done quite well . Nice video . .

[@dave11686]

Great video as always Kyle! I have always liked the 300M's!

[@maxsager139]

It´s sooooo beautiful, I love it

[@justinmaxon12]

I have this car but I'm upgrading to a 2007 saab 9-3 this week!!! funny that saabkyle did an interview on this one

[@MichaelErnest666]

wow I this car plus a 200s

[@NeighborhoodCarReviews]

What was supposed to be the Eagle Vision. Too bad the company went out. Makes sense, though.

[@jimmbobb]

Neighborhood Car Reviews Crazy that they still went ahead to produce 300M, LHS, and Concorde along with the Intrepid. Pretty redundant, but great cars nonetheless.

[@michaellovely6601]

@@jimmbobb These were definitely great cars. I personally love the Chrysler Concorde and Chrysler LHS but my mom loves the Chrysler 300M because of the car's aggressive front end and those signature "Bat Wing" headlights as I call them. My stepdad would love the Chrysler 300M Special because of how it has a top speed of 150 MPH.

[@jimmbobb]

@@michaellovely6601 I have a soft spot in my heart for Chrysler. Lee Iacocca was a great leader. I like their late 80s cars, their heyday was definitely the 90s. I give them huge credit for shifting from the dinosaur OHV to the much more efficient OHC technology before Ford, and lightyears ahead of GM. The Neon was a great value, largest/roomiest car in its class with the most power. The 93 LH cars were larger, arguably better looking than, and outperformed the Taurus and ugly Lumina. And of course their minivans, which I believe outsold GM & Fords comparable offerings combined. The sports offerings might not have been as successful (Stealth was a Japanese FWD) but I still personally like it better than the Camaro or Mustang of the time. Sorry for the super long comment. 😊

[@sacr3]

tad more power, better mags, nice two tone black/cream interior, 300M Special logos, tuned steering, 360 Watt Amp with 9 speakers, dual exhaust, lowered suspension height, and blackish/Gray "Ground effects" cladding, so basically plastic rocker panels = no rust down there and looks nice. I prefer the specials.

[@jaymanz72584]

Yep, me too ANY day!...

[@ilikecookies010101]

Good luck finding my (first) car from high school! '87 Merkur XR4Ti

[@goethe77777777777777]

ooh haha. that car looks pretty fierce. awesome video dude!

[@83Stang5oh]

im surprized on how good that sounds

[@automotiveguru22]

what a car, always like 300ms but this is just awsome, i love toe sound it has wouldnt expect a car like that to have that kind of exhaust even on a special

[@michelinman8592]

Jeez, everybody's honking their horn! Awesome car, and awesome video!

[@Tunerboy8732]

I always loved the 300M special .

[@kbw.rvwhntr]

We both have the same car, 2002 special and I had the same problem last year. Other than minor stuff, it's the best car I've ever owned..

[@stsvdriver]

These were standard on the 02. Option on 03 and 04 as part of a sport upgrade. You can find them on Ebay for a good price. I currently own an 02 and can tell you they are a pain in the ass with letting air leak out of your tires.

[@TheKingKobra1000]

Some amazing camera work !

[@BigJon22091]

Nice Car. I've Always Liked Those Cars. This Used To Be My Dad's Dream Car Back In The Day.

[@POPPASHANGO]

great walk through! I am looking to get one of these in the near future

[@jlolear60]

They are nice cars, I have had my 04 special since it was new. Now it has 95k not one problem with it. I've got my fair share of speeding tickets as well wife gets mad every time. I love my car

[@douglasdarden9418]

I'm a big fan of (Chrysler 300 m special). (2002)This car is so great on my wish list i hope they can come up with another mode as this great car. I think Chrysler dealership should up grade this mode and kept it on the market wow! Such a great car.

[@hy77281]

didn't expect a sound like that to come from a saloon car like this, nice.

[@BMWrocksalltheway]

It actually looks great! Love it!

[@ramir332]

I have a 300m but from 2004. It does not look like this and mine has no sun roof. I think this one is a special edition?

[@1970426HemiCuda]

The Chrysler 300M Special, the one most people don't even know about like its smaller brother the 2004 Chrysler Sebring TSi. The Grand Cherokee would be my winter car and this would be my Spring and Summer car.

[@joshm.9308]

Great looking car, Kyle! Speaking of which, my neighbor has this exact car and model (same color too)! Even though it is left outside year round, it remains in excellent condition due to the fact that it is washed on a weekly basis. He also has a 1994 Taurus SHO (also in excellent condition) and a 2003 Ford Mustang Roush Stage 2 (excellent shape as well). As you can tell, my neighbor is quite the car collector...and the proud owner of rare finds as well.

[@Mohamedzaherelshawarby]

حاجتك كلها حلوة يبنى سبيشل و سوبر شارجد وموبار و ليميتد

[@marvelous123123]

this car is so beautiful im looking forward on getting mines

[@mikemoyercell]

Kyle - I always loved the specials, by far one of the nicest 300s before the 300c. That exhaust sounds great and that special exhaust added 5 hp compared to the non special 300m. Here’s one for you to find that has a lot of touches that this car has that you never see because they were made only for two years: Try to find and review a 2005/2006 chrysler Sebring TSi. It has to be a TSi though. It has similar lower body moldings compared to the 300m special. They are by far my favorite looking Sebring. They were also available as a 5 speed manual with the 2.7 v6 Just like the stratus r/t which they produced more of.

[@baconnbootyy]

love the exhaust note on that 300M! :)

[@luisantoniosblog.gonzalez9315]

This is my favorite car in the world!

[@bradleymeyer9775]

What I like about full size Sedans is that the have plenty of trickle space and leg room.

[@anmllvr234]

nice tour

[@chrisced007]

Great video Kyle. Thank you for finding a 300M special. I hate to say this but I think Chrysler went cheap on the later model 300ms. EX: non lit traction button, no courtesy lights in the doors like the older ones, cheaper infinity speakers. Also those 18" wheels were optional. It came standard with the Chrome 17"s wheels. Still its a sharp car. Just drove one last week. Though I think the regular 300M is more comfortable than the 300M special sport bucket seating.

[@sibhusk7]

Yes, I agree; those were beautiful cars. Too bad Chrysler stopped making them. The Mercedes 420 based architecture on the next gen. rear drive are great cars too, but I think Chrysler should have continued making this LH version. The 300M is the only version that has visually appealing front and rear overhangs (thanks to European-headed buyers for the Eagle). You know what I'm talking about Kyle.

[@wilcossb]

man despite its age i love this car!!!

[@moparmaniac21]

It sounds reminiscent of a Porsche's flat 6, I like it a lot! I never really payed much attention to these cars, but the autostick, projector headlamps and 255 horse is pretty respectable.

[@georgepatton8693]

real nice exhaust sound

[@garryvince6651]

This is a very amazing platform among all of the LH body concepts. Love it very much.. I just wonder there is any here in the Philippines. :'(

[@Pendragon1989]

Great video as always, I was gonna buy a car like this, except it was red. I went to testdrive it, all was good until about 5 minutes into it, then the engine locked up. Somehow all the oil leaked out of the engine. Never figured out why, such a shame though, it was an amazing car

[@garryvince6651]

Mr. Saabkyle, I'd hope you notice me now.. I really hope someday we'll meet and feel free to visit Philippines after the pandemic crisis. I'd love watching your full car reviews..

[@naterade21]

basically its a luxury dodge intrepid R/T

[@dxt_PT]

Pretty much

[@Travelingcarguru]

Are you going to do a start up video on that Nissan Quest in the background?

[@isaac24]

I don't know why people hated the LH cars, and the other "cab forward" cars. I think they were awesome.

[@jeepguy95]

I do agree, Kyle! They're great cars! I'd like to find one myself!

[@Titanic19127]

The OG 300

[@tbirdsport302]

those are very cool, i would only take the special like this one though, the standard ones are wayy too common, i also wished these came with a ltd slip diff, thats quite a bit of power with just an open diff.

[@koioo2]

video stoped all the time so i make a short note this chysler is mi favorite to.i like the new 300C but this one i love

[@BabyBugBug]

I fondly remember these when my family went to the dealership and I would sit in a brand new one in the showroom dreaming that they would grab this instead.

[@Friendly0Dan]

I was considering one of these for my first car.

[@goethe77777777777777]

That is a very confident car

[@ATCRyderX]

Gorgeous machines the Specials are. I have a 99 and 00 with PHP. The one thing I don't like is the WaterFall seats (vs the normal ones) and the one thing I -HATE- is the ridiculous fake Carbon Fiber trim they replaced the beautiful fake wood with. If I had a Special, I'd switch that right out!

[@MultiTheRocket]

Very nice car!

[@warrenkisin]

8:24 In the standard Chrysler 300M if it was kilometers, it would be the 200 km/h gauge.

[@KANATADOMPIZ]

I Own this car and despite being a Dodge it's given me 6 years of reliable service. The only things thats gone wrong is suspension parts.

[@SteelCurtain222]

Hey Kyle, I'm going to be buying a 2004 300m from a friend of mine that has 61,000 miles on it. its fully loaded with navigation + satelitte radio. Ive always loved these cars and he has kept it in imaculate condition. Hes offering 8,500 for it. Does this sound like a good buy? thanks

[@Rick.Astley.Enjoyer]

nice my dad got the new 300c with the hemi about 3 months ago. this was his old car and he gave it to me.. haha not bad for a first car :). the olny thing i have a problem with is when i quickly accelerate my engine dosent seem to shift untill i get to the 6 or the 7. i dont know if this is normal or my transmission is messed up? i just wanna kinda know if letting my rpm's getting this high is bad or its just a normal thing.

[@wiibaron]

I have an 03 Sebring Coupe with the 4 disc CD. Wonder if that 6 disc would 'talk' to my head unit.

[@jaymanz72584]

Yes indeed!!

almost sounds like a VQ

Did KZbin downgrade the quality of this? I remember it looked much more crisp when the video first came out.

Make sure you're at 480p

[@mopargm9329]

I love my 02 silver special!!

[@APOnCars]

@saabkyle04 alright kyle thanks for the advice, yeah the main reasons I like this car is because it is affordable, as you said, it isn't slow, it is pretty luxurious inside, and it looks pretty damn good. Just one more question, do you know what kind of stereo system it has?

[@APOnCars]

hey kyle can you give me an honest opinion about this car, not that you arent in the video, but I am seriously considering this as a first car.

[@hondaftw1234]

Kyle. Can do a test drive of the x5 there and the Lexus gs and fx35 please that would be much pleasured Kyle

[@SsSs-ve9pu]

I have been looking for this car also

Is that the 2007 Tahoe you guys had at 00:19
