2004 Chrysler 300M 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
Review
Bought my 300M in Jan 07' with 54K. Has 93K on it now. Although this car is powerful, comfortable,it is te most unreliable car I have ever owned: Ignition problems, check engine light, $1,200 GAS LINE REPAIR, blinkers stopped working, power seat died, power windows don't work. It's embarrassing to have people in this car cause they can't put down the window. Don't judge a carby its looks, Chrysler builds garbage and it's no surprise they are in financial turmoil! I researched this car or 4 months before purchased and all reviews are "great". This is the honest truth about this vehicle- don't buy one. And I bought the 80,00 warranty.

Review
The 300M cannot be passed for the price you pay. You get many features (heated seats, power everything) for much cheaper than most cars of it's class and mileage. This is my 2nd 300M, and can say, that repairs have been few, and the car has been great! Take good care of it, and it will take good care of you!
Favorite Features
Heated Seats, Power Moonroof, Pretty good stereo, wood on Steering Wheel, Leather, and the deep red color is fascinating!
Suggested Improvements
Some of the "squeaks/rattles" coming from the interior trim are enough to drive anyone up the wall! I have had to put some felt tape between many places (hidden) to eliminate these noises.

Review
Bought the 300 M as a lease returned car with 1500 miles. We have put about 60k miles on since. Car drives well and has good take acceleration. Had to change brakes and rotors with only 40K miles. Now at 76k the water pump went out. This is a major cost,$700. Also to change the timing belt at 100 K is about $1000.
Favorite Features
Interior is great. Stereo is adequate and we love the steering wheel controls. Nice sun roof and it as not ever leaked.
Suggested Improvements
Wind noise is terrible at 70 mph. Wish they had the 100k warranty on the 04.

Clean design, smooth ride, great car! My 300 is a fun car to drive and I haven't had any complaints so far. It handles well on the road with the powerful engine, and the Autostick feature is fun to use.

Review
A beautiful car, it always turned heads. The handling was more like a much smaller car, and it had plenty of power to respond to any traffic situation without hesitation.
Favorite Features
dual exhaust, two-tone interior, 18" wheels, 4 wheel disc brakes, sunroof, leather interior, spoiler, fog lights, ground effects, HID head lamps and the huge tail lights.
Suggested Improvements
5 speed transmission, 50 more horses, chromed steel wheels, more trunk space, rear wheel drive and please, a HEMI.

Bought 2000 300m new, sold at 95,000 mi. Bought 2004 with 15,000.mi. 2 1/2 years ago. Do not like new style 300m. Only repair was warrantied cam sensor. Check engine lite is on. Service every 3000 mi. Comfortable, handles great. Will keep.Drive Florida to NJ 5-6 times per year and thoroughly enjoy the trip. Super road car. Have had 4 Lincoln Marks and like the 300 better.Anxious to see next restyling.

Review
I absolutely love this car... I've only had it for 9 months but it is the best. The only thing I've had to have replace was the a/c evaporator core but that, I hear, is a common fault in the Chrysler 300M. This car handles great on turns and curves and the gas mileage is pretty good for a 3.5 V6. The only complaint I have is the small gas tank.

Review
This car is both the best car I've ever owned, and the worst. It's sleek, low, NASCAR inspired style is beautiful. It will fly on the freeway, and rumble impressively in town. The 3.5 litre motor has loads of power. The interior design, bells & whistles are first class. However, it is scared of snow. Even changing to snow tires, the car is skittery and quite nerve wracking. It uses up brake pads every 10K miles. As mentioned in other reviews, the low profile causes the front spoiler to hang up on parking blocks, ripping the front facia loose. It's prone to have expensive climate control problems. The failure of an engine cam sensor nearly caused a major freeway accident.
Favorite Features
The big block V8 recalls vintage MOPAR engines; this is a fast motor with power to spare. The wide tires make dry and wet handling crisp and fun. Heated seats, GPS, a fine sound system, and loads of room ae great. And of course, the car is just plain beautiful to look at.
Suggested Improvements
If Chrysler were to have a 2nd chance at this style, it would need a/c-heating overhaul, and better tuned suspension pieces. There are several blind spots that less careful drivers would fall prey too.

Very nice and stylish car. I have bought the 2004 300m special sedan and there were no warranty problems. It was very luxurious with the power sunroof, leather seats etc. It looks nice at the front and the interior but makes a lot of noise. We have almost 20,000 km on it had no trubles to drive it.

Luxurious interior with power sunroof and heated leather seats etc.

Makes a lot of noise when driving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
