Zero traction on snow.

Great car styling and ride as well as other features, but absolutely HORRIBLE on even the slightest amount of snow, even with after market snow tires on all fours. Truly DANGEROUS. Rear wheel drive is a big mistake if using the car in areas of snow accumulation. Traction control seems to be no help at all even on a 1/4 inch of fresh snow. Rear wheels just spin.

My 05 300 Sig Series is a good value overall. It has enough power to put a smile on my face and it is confident in the turns. I have had to make several trips to my local dealer for repair work. A part of the interior of the sunroof broke and I have had a strange idle/near stall problem. The idle problem took 3 trips to resolve. Eventually a electronic module was replace on the 2nd trip and the computer was reprogrammed (dealer forgot to do so) on the 3rd trip. I just noticed that, like others, my rear driver side window only works when it feels like it. Since this is the first year of this car, I can overlook a few bugs (similar problems w/ previous Caddy and Aurora)

This is a land rocket, the accelleration comes on so smoothly in the corfortable interior, that you will not know how fast you are going to you look down or in the rear view mirror. The auto stick lets you keep the revs up in the "go zone". The stereo is out of this world. It is a E class with way more power for a lot less money. Get the V8!

Hi folks,I have a 2005 chrysler 300 base and Im suprised hearing some of the bad reviews about the base model.I read where people said it dont have power and thats not true it has more than a person needs plus great on gas. Only the people who are speed crazy would think that.Also some say its interior is cheap which is not true people who see it loves it.I see many 300s for sale with torn leather.Also people knock the steel wheels with hubcaps on them.Nothing wrong with that at least a person can change the hubcaps at a fair price whenever they want to while other owners are stuck with high priced wheels.I have friends who have the touring model and mine is more eye cathing.

We waited for our 300C to come in and then turned out to be very disappointed. After five times in the shop all for transmission related problems, they finally found the problem which took 10 days to fix. After 30 days in the shop after only six months of ownership, it was time to say goodbye to this car.
