Used 2006 Chrysler 300 Consumer Reviews
Buyer beware
I bought this car for my birthday last year...And i can honestly say it was the worst purchase i have ever made...After 3 months of owning this car it started to develop a severe engine miss, it's been in the dealership faithfully every month for the exact same problem...Even the regional big wig came down and said they are aware of the problem but no fix is in site...Great...So here i am with a car that i wanted for so long and now i hate everything about it...I will never again buy a chrysler product...Dr. Z you have failed me....
Good Car - beware buying from conglomerate dealers
Fueling - make sure it accepts fuel without spit back. Acceleration and braking - will put a smile on your face Fuel economy - not so much - not expected from a relatively large V8 in a 4,200 lb car. Good handling

Fantastic Automobile
Both my wife and I were attracted to this car because of its distinctive styling. After 2 years, we still think it looks great and love driving it. We considered a midsize but, in hindsight, the larger car was the right choice, especially with two boys 12 & 15. The 3.5 L engine provides plenty of power. I was concerned about getting rear wheel drive but the traction control performed magnificently in the Colorado snow, and it was snowy, this past Christmas. This car has definitely surpassed my expectations.
Vehicle of choice
I have had the car almost two years and it is still a pleasure to drive. This is the only car I can say that about. I have owned Mercedes; Cads, Corvettes, Z's and many others and this is my vehicle of choice.
no help for ENGINE PROBLEMS
i bought my 2006 300 limited new in 2006. everything worked & i was very pleased until i put about 15,000 miles on it,then i noticed a tapping sound in the engine, thought it was timing gear/chain. dealer said not to worry. engine noise slowly continues to get louder. finaly the dealer admits there's a problem... that was almost 3 MONTHS ago,it's been sitting there ever since! at first they din't know what the problem was, then they couldnt get parts to replace the lifters, then they had to get updated parts, then it would not start. now its in limbo & nothing is getting done at all. lousy design & service on a $33,000 car!!! i have no idea how this will end but it doesn't look good.
Bulletproof SRT-8
My dads owned this car since 2011 when he scored it for a good price with super minor front end damage and a salvage title off the backlot of a dealership. Dealerships owner planned to use for parts but at 60k and such an easy fix my father had to buy and restored it. After clearing the salvage title its been clear sailing to a current 200k miles. Its both his long distance commuter car and occasional family runaround vehicle, never letting anyone down reliability or performance wise. My father treats this car like a third son, with beyond meticulous upkeep and maintenance, only thing he has to replace frequently is tires and balljoints/control arms; but that comes with the territory of not just low sporty cars, but 300’s in general. Super sporty sculpted seats with suede inserts always get compliments especially with all the leather conditioner thats kept the seat rip free all these miles later. The only true draw back of this sports sedan is the rough jarring ride, it lends the interior more creaks and rattles than id like, but my father frequents the super rough roads of the bronx daily. Overall this car has been one of the best cars all around and performs as the day it was built. If you have the opportunity of purchasing one of these fine sports cars do it, you will truly have no regrets with scheduled maintenance. P.s. This is all coming completely unbiased from a diehard Honda enthusiast who would rather get shot in the foot than give an American car the benefit of the doubt, especially a mid 2000s Dodge/Chrysler.

Great car
This car has it all for one low price. The power is insane and the ride is so smooth its just unbelievable. You need to drive one to see what I'm talking about.
I love my chrysler
I like this car it's spacious I went from an SUV to a sedan and I want to keep this car forever. Even though it's not the best one out of all the chryslers, I am already looking to change the image on my car.
I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Love my 300. When they first hit the street I knew I would have one. I get looks everywhere I go and so many compliments. I love the color also, the leg room is awesome-for the kids in the back as well as the front. This car is AWESOME and I think Chrysler did a GREAT job. For the price, quality and style, this is # 1.
My first new car
The 2006 chrysler, base , 300, is a beautiful car. It`s styling is outstanding. It lacks in the performance dept. With the engine, in my opinion, too small, 2.7 V6. Fuel economy is not as advertised, and the transmission leaves a lot to be desired. I like to use 2 nd. Gear a lot in winter. This can not be be done on this car. Otherwise it is a lot of car for the money. Hope chrysler changes that poor winter time transmission though. If i had noticed a little earlier, i may have had second thoughts on that issue. All in all, it is a very nice car.
