Overhyped

The Chrysler 300 is the most over hyped car in the past couple of years. Last winter it seemed to be one of the worst cars on the road for handling snow and ice. It is especially poor for the size and weight of the car. Visibility is also very poor.

Absolutely hate this car! I fell in love with it because of its look and the engine, but have had nothing but problems every since. Put well over $4,000 into the front suspension alone. I also had to replace fuel pumps and the radiator. Overall, i put about $6,000 worth of repairs into this car before something in the engine finally gave out and totalled it. I will never buy another Chrysler.

Electrical Problems

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.

This vehicle comes with all kinds of niceities, but the body is very cheaply made. The fenders near the wheel wells can be moved back and forth up to two inches, and the fake chrome (plastic) is of less than satisfactory quality. Engine performance on the Hemi is excellent.

U should have a V-8

This car draws a lot of glances, parked or moving. It's appearance is reminiscent of the chopped stock car body. It's size and weight(4500 pounds) belies it's quickness. It can deliver enough torgue to the tires to generate sufficient smoke for a three alarm fire!! No problem in accelerating from 50 to 70 MPH. The interior is well appointed. The GPS system has been an added plus in reaching destinations in unfamiliar areas. Buttons on the steering wheel provide the driver with full capability to check the various program systems. The analog clock provides a bit of nostalgia for those of us over 50. It's grand to experience a V-8 again and I'm not talking about vegetable juice!
