Used 2005 Chrysler 300 Rwd 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
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.
Don't buy this junk.
I have just been informed that this car is only good for 118,000 miles because Chrysler had a plan to make you purchase another one. The electronic fuel system in the computer goes out and you can haul the car away as trash according to the dealership. They did not make interchangeable parts like they did 160 years ago. Chrysler management is that stupid. It cannot be fixed according to the dealership. The car is in pristine condition and worthless. You want my advice, buy a foreign vehicle, they last longer than 118,000 miles.
- Performance
hopinfg for the best
Excellent look to car. Had issue with car pulling to the right/ returned 2nd time -better but no fix/ 3rd time. tire issue- fixed still pulls to right. I could be very satisfied if this issue could be resolved, but at this time no know fix is in the works per CHrysler
2.7 BAD
To small of an engine for the base Model. Performance, sluggish. What were they thinking? Nissan Altima has a bigger Engine, Jeep Liberty---3.7!!!!!!!!!!!!
Geat car? not with this engine
I drove a 300 base in California. Thoughout San Francisco it was fine, but out on the twisty roads of Highway 1, the 2.7 liter was hopeless. If I had a Dollar for every time the engine changed down to maintain an average speed, I would never have to work again. To put a 2.7 4 cam in a 3700lb car is aksing for trouble. It would not be so bad if it was a smooth engine. Gas milegae was poor as so much time were spent in the lower gears. Therefore, go for the 3.5, which should be the standard engine anyway. The stalks around the steering wheel are ergonomically poor. Plus points: Fantastic combination of road holding, suspension and ride. Brakes are brilliant too. The shape is beautiful too
