I had a rental 300 with the V-6. I agree that the platform is great and the car is a great value. The transmission programming was a mess, and I yearned for some way to control it. The silly electronic shifter wouldn't let me do anything but shift from P to R to D. The Pentastar engine was great, but the transmission really let it down. 8 speeds of lugging it at 1,500 rpm unless you just caned it wasn't really elegant to me.
I would like to try a performance version one day. I bet they're a ton better. Just goes to show how much the powertrain really adds to the experience.
