In 2005 my dad bought this car new. While he maintained it Well I (now 21) grew up with this car. He used this beauty for work which meant the trunk was always full of construction equipment. Its now April 2015 and I inherited the car And drive it regularly. Point being the car has 271,000 miles And still drives like the day I rode home in it. Its never had any work done. Just oil gas and tires. Best car ever.

Second 300, this one is a Hemi. The salesman told me it was driven by an old lady, of course it was! Truth is I met her and it was all true. Her husband died and she had to get rid of it. It has 11,965 miles !! Every option and it is very fast and very comfortable. I just back from a trip to Vegas, averaging 75 MPH. At 110 degrees out with the A/C on I still averaged 22 MPG. I only use Regular gas and it runs fine. This is a keeper for a long time. Buy one, they are out there for good prices. You won't regret it!

I fell in love with these cars about 8 years ago when I had one as a rental. When it was time to buy another "new" used car I shopped specifically for this. I had quite a time because I wanted the C model in black with lower miles. I ended up driving 630 miles to & 630 miles back to get it & I love it so far. The C is loaded & has a Hemi...I recommend the Hemi for the power. It only gets 2 mpg less than the 6 cyl 3.5 & I average over 25 mpg on freeway. The interior is very comfortable, it brakes very well & handles well. The sound system is awesome but because the car is 11 years old the navigation system is outdated & has no touch screen or back up camera. For the price of the disc required to update I can buy an after market unit that has all of these features & it will fit right into the dash w/o modifications. There are outstanding airbag recalls that I will have to take care of & the worst thing is that when you fill up the car all the way it stalls. This is a known problem with this & several Chrysler cars & fortunately about 2 years ago they finally agreed to extend a lifetime warranty to the gas tank which will need to be replaced. I have arranged to take it in to dealership & this work will be free of charge. Overall for as nice as this car is, with only 75,000 miles & for the price I paid...$8750 I believe its a bargain. They are out there to be found but some dealers think they are worth $10-12k...Don't pay that. Find one & stick to your guns. Many of the dealers who initially laughed at my offer are now calling me ready to sell after sitting on there cars for a couple months...but of course they are too late.

May, 2024 UPDATE: She is still driving well and I so appreciate having the powerful Hemi which has gotten me out of a few dicey situations. I also enjoy the respect my 300C gets on the road. A lot less people tailgating me as opposed to when I had a 2000 RAV 4. I drove her this past winter with winter tires. Let’s just say she is capable to but being a RWD does not enjoy the ice and snow. UPDATE: I am starting to have some front end issues which I will have to address and my parking brake does not work but as for the motor and transmission? So far...smooth sailing. I have also noticed that there is respect from other drivers when I am on the road. People no longer tailgate and give me space which was not the case when I was driving my older Toyota RAV4. have always wanted a Mopar but could never afford a classic Cuda or Challenger. So I thought how about a modern Hemi with Daimler Chrysler engineering? I have not been disappointed. The 340 hp V8 power is something I have longed for most of my adult life. I have only ever owned 4 or 6 cylinder vehicles. Not only is the power appreciated but so is the nicely appointed leather interior, wood grain finishes and chrome rims. It is quite the luxurious ride. Cons: These big beasts are notorious for poor gas mileage (400 kms to a tank) along with front end issues and I can tell my ball joints are loose and will need replacing soon. Also, if you are tall like me (6’3) with a long upper torso you will have to crouch or duck a little to see the stop lights at an intersection. The seat positioning is too high. Overall, however, I am enjoying “Hemi” as I motor through my midlife crisis.

great car. always turns heads with its great design. i can not go anywhere without being stopped by men and women alike asking "how do you like your 300, i love the look and wish i had one!" i'm proud to drive and own this fabulous Chrysler product. the other car makers are scratching their heads and wondering what they are going to do next to compete. go drive one for yourself and see what all the hype is about...you will not stop thinking about the car untill you have one. thanks Chrysler!

Exterior aesthetic appeal is undeniable, however interior budget cuts are evident. Leather is cheap, and not supportive - sadly MOPAR engineers have yet to achieve a benchmark ride akin to Cadillac/Lincoln. However as prior owners of both, neither can compare to the pure acceleration and road manners of 5.7/340hp 300C. Approaching 100k (5W20), w/ no mechanical problems to mention. Still avg range 320City/+400hwy varied elevation/region/driving conditions including snow. Very powerful, compliant, and forgiving platform. Thoroughly do the research and test drives, the Hemi is kicking with class leading fuel economy. On a more juvenile level, it just feels good.

Look me Over but please don't touch is how i feel about my Chrysler. And thats what I get. A lot of lookers and nice car. What is it ? I drove the 300 in the sixties and now in the 21 century. What a car. Nice to drive and I feel very safe with all air bags the electronic steering system and the AWD.I drove big brother the Merc's and yes a little softer ride but thew 300 is great. If I have one comeback it is the navagation system, for $1400 it could be a lot more and the car arrived with a data disc three years old in development. The tires are not wearing as they should I am getting 1/2 tread todate and only 15000 miles no help from the dealer or the tire manufactor "Contintal.

With this car Chrysler put the American car on the map again. It is an example how an american car should be. Big powerful engine, rear wheel drive, appealing exterior, roomy interior with reliability and a lot of luxury. This car is such a phenomenal car. Although it is an 05, yet it is an eye catch. with its beautiful chromed rims, spectacular front inspired from the 1958 300C. Also, my car is black so I think that adds more elegance to it. It had 112000 miles on the odometer when I bought it and today it has 124000 miles yet I haven't spend any penny on any kind of reparations.

Bought when they first came out, a 2005 model in early 2006 so I could get the 7/70,000 warranty. Wish I’d gotten AWD, but otherwise it’s been a great ride for over 13 years.

Sole owner from 3 miles to recently rolling over 145000. Five years of ownership and all I have replaced is a EGR Valve last May and a rear speaker that I blew out myself. To compare this car to a Audi or Honda or Toyota is a huge mistake. They have no where near the same in-cab room and feeling of comfort on the surface of the road. The low-long body allows for tight turns and an excellent grab on the pavement. The small V6 is well enough for highway and in-town acceleration. There is no other car (under 30000 dollars) on the market with an average MPG of 25 to 28 and a presence on the road of captivating aesthetics and size that can swallow similarly priced sedans.

I have heard the "owned by a Little Old Lady" line before. This was True! I met her and she is a 75 year old lady and it was her husband's baby. A 2005 with 11K, gotta love it! My second 300 and I am glad I got the Hemi this time. This car has every option available.

I was looking for a used car that was as good as a 04 Dodge ram diesel, in power mpg, I didn't want another repeat of the durango, then we had the p t cruiser, that tin box would be o k, if we stayed in the city, but on the road I did not like the risk, first I was surprised about this design on the 05 300, then I looked up the specs, better economy/power then the p t we had, and a real car, for a change, we installed yakohama h rated 215/65/17 tires and it is important to note the h rating, for the pure fact the car handles very well with these tires we bought the extended warranty , 23.6 mpg, however I was not driving with a steady foot, finally a real car true road car ,

Although told it looked like a Bentley, I thought it looked like the 1950 Mercury, I had as a teen. It even has RR drive. Has vision problems that you have to be aware of. It's a real eye catcher. After 2 years, am still pleased with it.

Great looking car. Fun to drive with ample power. 3.5L is not as quite and smooth as some Japanese 4 cyl. engines, Lots of standard features. Excellent interior finish. Outside visibility when turning turning left is limited by the big rear view mirror and the wide front left colunm.

I love this car.The ride is smooth, quiet and cofortable. I love the attention it get's when I drive down the street. The price was a real bonus. I expected that a car looking so expensive would cost a lot more than it did. A couple little drawbacks...The high beams on the turn signal arm sometime go on by accident sometimes while signaling a turn. Also, I found the windows a little hard to get used to. I mean they seem small and I feel like my veiw is limited.

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.

Love the style and handling of this car, BUT problems started with blown fuses/bulbs, AC wouldn't get cold, headlights blow when weather turned cold (replaced 3). Pinging started, engine light came on (code P0405, cyl misfire). Chrysler recommended detonation process (remove carbon from valves),no help. Several more visits with engine light on (same code), found a crack in head gasket. Replaced head gasket(Aug 05, 8,000+ miles). More visits for blown fuses--wire burned at muffler, replaced front control module. Jun06 started having bad vibration in gas pedal and engine light on again. Removed carbon again-- 99.9% sure fixed, 2 days later vibration back. Currently pursuing lemon law.

I love this car. It's very solidly built w/ no rattles or creaks. The sound system is quite good and the acceleration/handling is very impressive for a big sedan. The only really negative I can think of is the high beltline which impairs visibility, but is worth it in my opinion as it gives the car a "chopped" look.

This is the first Chrysler that I've owned and I loved every minute of it... until Aug 31 when I got T-Boned. After that I Love AND Respect it. The car performed exactly as it should. I was hit by a van running a stop sign. A square hit to the rear drivers door and rear tire. The car started to spin until the ESP kicked in and straightened it out, because of that the car went straight into the ditch and didn't slide sideways and roll! The rear seat was contacted by the door panel but no breach into the passenger compartment. No windows broke. This is an example of excellence in design. Thank-you Chrysler

A pleasure to drive. Comfortable and head turning style. The car came equipped with Continental tires that were awful. Hydroplaning and poor mileage (switched after 20,000 miles) I switched to the Goodyear top of the line and what a difference.

This is a great car and my second 300. My first was a 300M bought new in 1999 and that was a fun car, but the 300C is by far the best car I have ever owned. If Chrysler keeps this up I will buy another one. The 300C SRT8 is the next one on my list.

I Know many people are power crazy but I go for looks and performance.Why have power if you cant use it? I have a 2005 base model that is better looking and performs as good as the more expensive models.I dressed it up and that's why it stands out next to the other models.I have a friend who has a C model and when parked next to each other mine is the eye catcher.The slower I drive it the more people see it.

I have had this car since December and find myself when sitting at a light or a stop sign it feels like my car is going to stall. It downshifts and feels like it's going to stall - Or it feels like someone has rearended me sometimes - the first few times that happened I thought the car behind me did hit me. It has been happening more and more lately - and has also stalled out on me a few times while just waiting to turn - I took it to the dealership and they said nothing is wrong - however, something is wrong - I also had a recall on my transmission with something - which they say has nothing to do with it but hmmm? I'm not sure what to think at this point. I just want to make sure I

Inherited this car from a family member and drove it for 6 years and over 100,000km the v6 touring model was a comfortable ride with a decent engine that had enough juice to be fun but not crazy. This car was amazing for the first few years however after the 140,000km mark it really started deteriorating, ball joints struts break lines ceasing you name it, never had any problems with the physical engine but the frame components were garbage and the replacements never lasted long either. Long story short this car was good for its finite life however once one thing went wrong it quickly snowballed into a money pit. If youre planning to purchase one used take it to a garage first as externally it may be immaculate but the suspension components could be clapped out costing you a fortune with ownership

Weak carpeting
CRYSTAL YOUNG, 05/03/2006
2005 Chrysler 300 Rwd 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl 4A)
3 of 5 people found this review helpful
I am overall happy with the vehicle, except for the fact that I have holes in the floor on the driver side and the carpeting is coming undone! I have contacted Chrysler and the dealership for assistance, but to no avail. The floor up front is weak, as if something was missing from the building process. I would like to know whether or not any other Consumers were having the same if not similar problems. A new car should not have carpeting wear and tear at this stage. I have 60,000 miles on my vehicle now, and it is time for a front end alignment. I make sure that I do my regular maintenance on time. But the carperting is my main complaint.

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!

Love this vehicle (Chrysler 300C with V-8 Hemi). Takes me back to the late 60s and early 70s, yet is thoroughly modern aesthetically and technologically. One problem--while driving along I hear a loud popping noise that sounds like a rock hitting the windshield; however, it's not. It's as if the frame around top of windshield is stretching. Anyone else have this problem? What can be done?

This is a nice car. I have been driving my now 125k and still drives like new. I only have 1 complain with my car ,the navigation system and the quality of the radio. It sounds really nice but the stereo is garbage. My screen turned complete black and I tried to get another one and I was surprised that my stereo system cost more than the engine. It is ridiculous .

I've had my 300 since it had 2500 miles on it, it now has 55,000 and I've never had an issue with it. The only expense I've had is oil changes and tires. It's not as nice as a BMW, Mercedes etc. but you will not have to pay for costly repairs. Again, is not as smooth a ride as other luxury vehicles or as nice, but not having the head aches make it worth buying.

I have been back to the dealer many times over the last 6 months for these problems: 1) Even on minor grades, car will roll backwards in drive when I take my foot off the brake. 2) Car shifts hard from reverse to drive. 3) At low RPM acceleration, car up-shifts hard from 2nd to 3rd 4) Generally poor quality control on the painting. The first time I bought gas I noticed the paint primer clearly visible on inside of gas cap door. First time sun shinned on the side of car I noticed the interior metal of the rear wheel wells was bare. 5) I have been listening to the same radio station for 22 years on my 52 mile trip to work. This 300 is first car which looses station. 6)Vibration in dash

The only problem i had was that Chrysler didn't put the right tirer on the hemi. When these cars came out we had to purchase them with out own money. There should have been a recall and also on the air bag part that eventually short circuited and cost over $600.00. Beside that this is an excellent care i really enjoy my car.

Loved the 300C until it stopped going forward and reverse at only 3,500 miles. Has been in the shop for 8 days now and dealership can't figure out the problem. They've taken the transmission apart and are waiting to hear from Chrysler on what to do next. I've submitted my 15 day notice to Chrysler to have it fixed or give me back my money per my state's lemon law. Needless to say, we're greatly disappointed.

I love this car, most fun driving it than any car I've owned in over 40 years (including an early 60's T-Bird and a '67 Cougar). After 4 years with this car I still get lots of looks and comments about the style. Wife won't even let me consider buying another car. Car is comfortable to ride in, and has more legroom than a friend's Lexus.

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
Best bang for your buck!

This car replaced a 2002 Bonneville. While I liked the Bonneville, it was time for something new and the 300 is IT. Handsome, striking in appearance, roomier than the Bonneville, it is quiet, rides smoothly and handles securely. The 3.5-liter V6 has plenty of oomph for most situations. The car lacks certain amenities standard in the Bonnie: Automatic headlights, tire pressure sensor, 6 speakers standard. The 300 has leather standard, the Bonnie does not. The 300 is much roomier than the Bonnie is, and rides much better. The cruise control stalk is not a great design, GM hasn't gotten that right either. Chrysler saved money on the interior materials.
excellent

This car is a fun car to drive. It responds as soon as you step on the gas. The handling of the car at top speed is moderate. The comfort of my car is excellent. It's very spacious and the detail of the interior is cool. The exterior of the car is like an eye candy to people. Every where I go I get compliments on the car.

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.
great car

This is one if the finest cars I have owned in the last 20 years. There is a great combination of smooth ride with precise handling. The is like the luxury cars of the past, but with greatly impoved handling qualities. The fit and finish is good, and I have found no defects. The one area that could use some improvement is the interior. There is too much gray plastic on the dash and door panels. However, the leather seats have a nice appearance and are very comfortable. This is one I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a comfortable sedan that has great styling.
my experience with a 300 bought in 2004

I have had problems with the a/c causing condensation on the front windows under normal operation since I bought it - this is a visual safety HAZARD and I was told it is normal function - not true!! it is a HAZARD, also rear windows don't work properly - don't go down, car leads to the right (in shop for 6th time to repair)I was told that it leads to the right as a safety feature in case you fall asleep at the wheel - obsurd!! this is also WEARING OUT MY TIRES IRREGULARLY, outside temperature led readout in dash sticks at dif temps at times on same temp reading?? the front carpet was cut too short - replaced in 2004, the rear speakers rattled - fixed in 2004

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.
