I rented this car for a week recently. I had heard the hype and was intrigued. Currently own a Saab and Bmw. Best features were drive train, interior space and styling. Was evident that Chrysler is trying to upgrade interior quality and I liked some aspects: the seats in particular. Suggest they need to keep at this as still below import competition. I would pay more for this car to to get improved material/detail quality. Examples: radio control knobs, steering wheel, door and trunk latches. Perhaps the 300c is nicer, but I suspect same issues. Trunk latch on my rental did not work and was very low quality. Could not close the trunk easily.

Having problems with seat memory. When you remove the ignition key, the seat should move back, and stering wheel should move up for easy exit. This does not work all the time.When exit seat will not move back or wheel up. Dealer installed new seat memory chip,but I still have the same problem. Chyrsler does not have any idea what is wrong. The factory is supposed to be working on what they call a flash chip? I have had this problem since I ordered the car,the 1st day they went on sale. There are also some cosmetic flaws,that no one would notice, I see them because I am the owner.

Handles very well. Power on demand. All options except sat radio, and AWD. Nav system works great. Continental tires caused it to lead hard right. Tread depth half gone after 7000 miles on all 4 tires. Chrysler and Continental refuse to correct problem. Chrysler has issued 2 service bulletins about leading off. Had to buy new tires myself. Since replacing tires, no complaints. After changing all lubricants (engine, tran, diff)to Amsoil synthetics, hiway mileage at 60 jumped to 31.5, combo city/country 15 mile work commute mileage =24.8. MDS engine system works flawlessly so far. Parksense, rainsensing wipers, sound system, works great. Body styling turns heads. Makes you smile while driving

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.

The Chrysler 300C and its sister, the Dodge Magnum, are the best products to come out of Detroit in nearly 30 years.
