Used 2005 Chrysler 300 C Rwd 4dr Sedan (5.7L 8cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
loveit hateit
I bought the loaded 300C 9 months ago and loved the looks, power and creature comforts of the 300. I had to sell the car after 9 months and 28,000 miles because it rides like you are on a buckboard wagon. You feel every bump in the road yet the Chrysler dealer says the ride is normal after taking it for a drive. I had planned on driving it for a long time but could not stand the thought of driving it any longer. PS - Resale value has gone down drastically.
Ownership review
Have owned the car for 14 months. Have made two road trips in excess of 1200 miles each. Car preforms with no problems on long trips. Only objections are the lack of rear visibility and the quality of the interior trim.

happy and proud 300c owner
Love the styling and the solid feel of the chassis. Can't count how many people have come up to me to ask questions. Everybody is very excited about this car. Engine is smooth as silk and very strong. Tranny does its job well too. Seats, gauges, nav system and stereo are great. Small windows look great and I have no problem with the outward visibility. Negatives: Bins on front doors are made of really cheap plastic. I have a few interior rattles that are bugging me, but no more than any other car I have owned, including so-called quality benchmarks like Lexus and Acura. I have owned them all and this car - whether it is American, Canadian or German - competes strongly on all fronts.

Dusting off the cobwebs of youth
While I feel I may be driving some "old man's yacht," the power of the vehicle, its design, and appeal to me is rewarding - I waited four months to get hold of one to purchase at a reasonable price. I have not experienced any of the problems of early builds so far so perhaps DC has really fixed those. The only regret I may have with this vehicle is if gasoline prices hit the stratosphere. Then, I will wonder why I did not opt for a hybrid vehicle. But for now, reason be damned! I enjoy this heavy two-ton behemoth with the "viagra" smile it gives someone my age.
