Review
When I first saw the concept, I had to have this car. I can still find it in the parking lot. Everything else looks like a Lexus. It is a heavy, powerfull, stable, fast as sin, great looking vehicle. I now have over 60,000 miles. Only minor problems. Had to replace a mirror, a visor clip broke, have a wear problem on drivers leather seat, AC condenser failed (mfg does not evacuate long enough when new, leave water in them) had an alignment problem when new. Hard on tires though. Get Goodyear 60K tread guarantee and keep prorate at 30K. I still love this car. Got nav, satellite, can't live without them now.
Favorite Features
Engine, transmission, nav, satellite
Suggested Improvements
Higher finish materials on interior, AC weak like all Chrysler but I live in FL.

Review
Best car I've ever owned! Drives smoothly, and is so comfortable. I have been getting 22 to 23 mpg in town and 27 to 28 mpg on the highway. I have absolutely no complaints with this car. I've owned other car makers' vehicles, but this Chrysler is far and away the best of any I've ever owned. It is a vehicle that turns heads everywhere I go. It has a classy feel and has amazing power!
Favorite Features
Leather seats are very comfortable and the dash is so beautiful.
Suggested Improvements
I can't think of anything that could improve this car.
Great Car!

Purchased my 300c Used with 72,000 miles. It looks and drives like a brand new car. No clunky noises, squeaks or groans. Even who rides in it thinks it's a brand new car. The ride beats and 5-Series BMW out there. Very happy with this purchase. I would recommend driving this before committing to a higher priced "luxury" car.

Review
I am a 21 yr old male and I have owned this car 3 months, the only problem so far is the headlights went out, other than that it has been a good car. Chicks love this car, and everyone even people in BMW's have stopped me to ask what that is, and everyone thinks this is a 50,000 dollar car when its a 20,000 dollar car. I would not recommend getting this car, maybe later if gas ever drops. I am only getting 19 mpg.

Review
Really enjoyed this vehicle, but lots of electrical problems. Power windows keep failing and digital read out mysteriously converted to German. MPG is average. If you don't keep the vehicle tuned up, it is atrocious. Excellent hwy car, poor in the city due to handling. Not in the class of Audi A4 or BMW 325.
Favorite Features
Interior and exterior looks.
Suggested Improvements
Electrical bugs.

Review
I have owned my car for four years, it has given me dependable pleasure, comfort-style-and the dealership has been great to keep my car in top condition. I have no problems in the winter, my car always starts under the coldest of conditions, in snow if you go slow as conditions require you will be able to drive on most surfaces and hills. I have had the following parts replaced under warranty since purchase: Motors for front seat and car door windows. Extra battery in trunk replaced. Most recent part replaced, is a compressor went completely out, the dealership covered the cost leaving me with labor only. I have low miles considering I am the only driver of my car.
Favorite Features
GPS, Blue Tooth Compatibility, Sirius Radio, Eight CD changer, Heated leather seats, Powered windows&drivers seat. Powered Sunroof with tilt. Lightly smoke tented windows.
Suggested Improvements
Make this car a four wheel drive.

Review
I have owned this car for almost 2 years and I'm just approaching 40k miles and over all i'm impressed with the looks and thats it, mecanicaly I have had nothing but headaches. The transmission slips and steering becomes difficult when its cold (I live in Canada), extremly rough idle and the dealer claims there is nothing wrong, I had to replace all speakers in the car, both rear power window motors twice, brake rotors at 15k and the OEM Goodyear tires stink they wear out fast and I had them replaced at 20k miles for a set of Michelins. This is my 3rd Chrysler and I won't be buying another any time soon and in fact I'm trading it for a Honda Accord EX V6 next week.
Favorite Features
Good looks, rear wheel drive, decent power and fuel economy for a V6
Suggested Improvements
Improve over all fit and finsh for a car of this price I would exspect higher build quality, better brakes, better OEM tires

Review
I hade a numbers of cars in my life span but never have I had a car that have been that reliable and comfortable as my 300 Touring. I love the design and my fuel economy have improved by adding a cold air intake to the engine. Fast, lots of torque, enough horsepower to maintaine the speed on the freeway at any time I drive. I had the car for a year and i bought it used with 10000 miles on it, now after 30000 miles it is going strong with not what so ever problems. If I would consider to exhange my vehicle I would probably buy a new SRT 8 this time with no considerations at all.
Favorite Features
Tourque, horsepower, lot of room, comfortable on long distance driving.
Suggested Improvements
None, just keep up the good work in design and quality

Review
I have driven over 500,000 miles in the past 40 years either professionally or for travel and pleasure. That involves many types and makes of vehicles both domestic and foreign and includes luxury cars in both categories. With this experience as a basis I can say that this vehicle is one of the finest examples of automotive engineering I have ever driven! And based on the cost factor versus the finished product it could very well be the finest vehicle ever manufactured. Needless to say we are extremely pleased with this motor car. We have experienced the same responses from those that see it as some of the other reviews. People love it!
Favorite Features
Obviously the power of the Hemi engine is a huge factor. I don't drive fast but love the instant throttle response necessary at times in todays age of errant and careless drivers. The firm but smooth ride is perfectly balanced. Long motor trips are just plain fun and never tiring.
Suggested Improvements
Might lower the wind heights a little as arm out the window is a little to elevated, especially when trying to get mail out of a road side box. Might add a increasing sound level beep to the back up sensor. When it activates with sound its almost to late to stop when backing.

Review
I adored this car from the moment I bought it. Looks cool, comfortable, roomy, handles like a dream. Until 3 months ago. Now, I have a very expensive paperweight on my hands I don't even dare drive. The car loses power at speed, locking out all control, making me a ton rock in the middle of the road. It now sits at the dealership, where they say "their computer can't find a problem." This is the FIFTH time it has been into the shop for the same problem. Chrysler's response when I contacted them? Tough luck, lady. Trade up to a new 300. It's paid for, so they aren't making any money off it. After many, many years as a loyal Chrysler owner-NEVER AGAIN!! Toyota dealership, here I come!
Favorite Features
It looks cool
Suggested Improvements
Rip out and replace the electrical system - this is not just a 300 problem, my friend has a brand new Jeep that does the very same thing at speed!
