The car is a dream to drive. Little disappointed that the chrome wheel are alloy with Chrome covers. Interior is very roomy, comfortable and clean. the steering wheel blocks some of the dash in driving position. Rear seating tight for passenger knees. Truck size is good but for the size of the car slightly undersized.

I bought this car new in July 2006 and have had no major issues that were not covered by the warranty, I only have just over 36K original miles and just replaced the tires and that was only because the tires had age cracks on them, the tread was still in good shape and probably could have gone another 36k but didn't want to take the chance. I Love this car.
Great Car, aside from gas mileage

Car is awesome, aside from terrible gas mileage. Fun to drive, real head turner, but gas mileage is worse than i imagined. I have been driving it very calmly and only getting 12 mpg

This by far is the best car I've had, even with this problems that have come along with it (mostly the dealer that sold me the car). I ditched that dealer and now my issues are resolved.
Looks good but made with cheap parts!

It is made with cheap parts that will keep you at a dealer. ALL the pins in my motor broke in half and they were hollow. The mechanic said that most pins are solid all the way through so if they broke once they will do it again. Every time I took it in, I was told they get alot of 300's in with all types of problems and most of them have to do with the motor. I love the look but hate the way it kept me at a dealer. Im glad I got rid of it.

love the looks of the car. however, looks can be deceiving. currently it is in the shop for about the tenth time in 20 months. Chrysler had a recall on this model but failed to inform me - only found out by chance when i brought in for oil change. one touch up feature works sporadically but after five trips to dealer it still isn't fixed properly. it is a shame i have to get rid of car for reliability reasons because i love the look of the vehicle. interior features are plain looking and use of rubber-like products are a big mistake because they attract dust and are very difficult to clean.

My car has 40k on it. Unfortunately, my front end feels loose and rattles and squeaks. my research shows that about $1000.00 fixes it and it will come back again in about 20k miles. Due to a poor design and heavy front end

The driver's seat is imposssible to configure comfortably for a person of 5'6". The rear and front windows are very small. In the rear view mirror you can see both the roof of the car and the top of the back seat instead of the road. The car guzzles fuel and hates to accelerate or brake without PLENTY of warning. It plows through snow as long as there is no ice anywhere under or near it. On ice under snow yesterday the dash showed a car with squiggly lines as it steadfastly refused to move until the eleventh steering wheel maneuver in oncoming traffic off a side street. Up until that moment, I could not understand the cars great width, which may be designed to absorb inevitable collisions.

I have a 2006 300C I bought new in Nov of 05. For the most part the car is a reasonable ok car. Replaced a front strut and tires and that is about it so far. Car looks great with the Bentley grill and high speed feels like your floating on a cloud. However, without a doubt this is the worse car I have ever driven in the snow. Even with a light touch of the gas pedal reserving all this horsepower the car spins (including after I bought new high end tires for snow) and sways side to side. In the past I have ventured out in the snow only to turn around because the security that I will be able to get home or get stuck is a constant on my mine. Should have gone with the awd version.

Hi - I bought a Chrysler 300 Touring Edition with 63,000 km's on it. I bought the car from a salesman friend and he swore up and down that car never missed a service and was ultra-reliable. I have owned the car for just over two years (now has 109,000 km's) and have done the following since I owned it - replaced two front end ball joint and two front end control arms - replaced alternator - replaced battery - serpentine belt "exploded" had to be towed. The front left wheel bearing had to be replaced. ERG valve replaced.Knuckle joint is gone in the steering column. I can't buy the joint must buy the entire steering column at a cost of over $900.Air conditioning compressor replaced.LEMON LEMON

It's a nice car......has some wear and tear on the seats in the interior....lots of little dents on the body...maybe from hail? It's a good commuter car which is why I bought it.

I have the 2006 black SRT-8 with dark tint and chrome exterior aftermarket parts everywhere, and it looks incredible. I can't drive it without attracting looks and questions. I have installed the jet stage one module and a K&N cold air induction and let me tell you this makes a world of difference. I traded a 2001 trans am WS6 on the SRT and haven't regretted it for a second. The SRT is quicker and faster and looks and drives better and I can take my family along for the fun.

I read Consumer Reports but I hate the fact that all the "foreign" cars rate high and the Dodge and Chrysler always rate low.I love my Chrysler 300.I have owned it for 5 years and it has never failed me. At 60,000 miles I am just now replacing the tires.I have the large engine and it climbs the mountains at 80 and gets 26 to 27 mpg. For a full size car the mileage is great. This is the 5th car or truck I have bought from Oxendales and they are also great to deal with. We are a 2 car family so we have owned Chevy, Fords and Toyotas but nothing as nice as this.I have dual air, satellite radio and cooling in the back seat so my grandkids don't complain about being hot in the summer heat of AZ

I purchased this vehicle with 18K miles on it and added tinted windows, styling kits on the outside, new 20" cool rims and tires. The car came with all the wood fancies you could find inside. The previous owner kept this car soooo immaculate. I am glad not to drive a Cadillac Eldorado anymore, and especially after two of them. The color is Cool Vanilla outside with cream leather interior and I get so many looks on the road. Honestly, it is the nicest one I have seen so far. A real eye stopper. The seats could be more comfortable (very Benz inside) and could adjust in more ways. I wish I had folding mirrors and rear-assist. LOVE this car!

An interesting car for even us old retired folks. The hemi engine performs great. The Mopar remote start does not work in cold weather and has been in for repairs 4 times. It is a great highway car and highway gas mileage averages 25.5 mpg. For a large V-8 Hemi this is very good. On winter roads, winter tires are a must have. People give compliments on this cars looks and the "Cool Vanilla" color. Width of the trunk is a little tight for 2 sets of golf clubs though.

i have been a proud owner of a 06 300 limited, it was love at first sight and obsession at first test drive. i regularly extract 30+ MPG on hwy and city is 17.5/18.5 MPG depends how u use it. its a real show stopper, and and head turner, it has this presence on the road which commands respect from other motorists.

We have put over 39,000 miles on our 300C in the past 4 years. No problems at all. The Hemi makes it fun to drive and the hi tech goodies are easy to use. The Boston Sound System is absolutely the best car radio I have heard. Talk about value for your dollar. I usually trade cars every 3 or 4 years, but I can't come up with a good reason to trade this one.

Style, quality, performance, comfort, value and fun all wrapped into one package. I love this car! I bought a fully loaded Heritage Edition with every option on the list. It is universally the best car I have ever driven, and it was so nice, I bought it twice. I have two identical Inferno Red Heritage Editions (his & hers). I want to keep them forever.
I loved it one time too!

I've owned my 300 for exactly a year now. I agree with others it looks fantastic. Granted I bought it used, but The car idles rough, shifts badly, currently need sway bars, wheel bearings, EGR Valve system repair. It sways badly lags in power especially in take off. I have check engine light and 2 lights to do with breaking illuminated. And beware if you ever have a flat tire. The lug nuts have casings on them that go over the lip of lug nut. They are not the removable caps. When you try to take the lug nuts off they caps just spin. I have had to cut the caps off my lug nuts and have to buy all new. On top of that, whoever heard of a car you have to have software updates? Wish I never bought it!

Jan 5 2007 my 300 caught on fire in spite of returning car in Sept for a recall to fix a fire hazard . The fire started in the engine compartment and although I am no expert - the fire started exactly where the fire described in the recall would have been. The SURPRISE was the fire in the trunk. The fire under the hood must have shorted out some wires and caused the battery (in trunk) wires to melt to the point it caught the carpet in the trunk on fire and there was a pretty big fire next to the gas tank. Thats when I discover there was NO WAY to open the trunk - ALL ELECTRICAL was out. Chrysler is a disappointment in handling my problem. Been very happy with the car until this fire

Best automobile I have ever owned! Had showroom new cars before, but this one is what I've been looking for all these years. Awesome styling inside and out. Room galore, great gauges, too many pluses to tell here. I don't want to put too many miles on the silver lady, but I cannot wait to get in and enjoy the experience! 3.5 L, 5 speed auto stick German tranny, loves to keep pulling on out to jail time speeds in city driving without even trying. Turns on a dime. Only car I ever wanted to keep til I'm dead and I'm a younger boomer. Pulled in to a major fast food rest stop on I-75, a guy comes up to me, says "I thought for sure there was a Bentley pulling in, beautiful car". 1 more look at bedtime-in love!

I am 6' 3" and drive quite a bit so I wanted something comfortable. The front seats are rooomy.. But they could be softer and more comfortable. My friend has a BMW 535xi and those seats are like sitting in a recliner. Soft and supportive. So, on long trips, I def tend to get a little stiff in the back and my leg hits the door and the door should have a little padding there.. Not hard plastic. Its not a luxury vehicle, but its a solid, dependable car for me so far.. Dealership cleared up a few issues that could have been costly, but they said it was a manufacturing error and fixed it all for 100 deductible even though I didn't extend the warranty. That's service.

i'm very happy with the looks & ride of my 300, however i have had so issues with the electrical system. when pressing the brakes, turning the steering wheel, turning on/off the a/c, etc. the headlights & interior lights dim! i took it back to the dealer several times only to be told that its normal. i don't think thats normal for a brand new $30,000 car. it even stalled once while parked & turning the steering all the way to the side. thats not right! another problem i've noticed was that some times my rear windows don't roll down until about the 4th or 5th attempt! Looks good, Rides Good, Very POOR Electrical system & customer service!

Essentially the best vehicle I have ever owned. Combines the exhilaration, acceleration, and precision I expect from my Jaguar, and the quiet, luxurious, and smooth attributes I get from my Lexus Hybrid. I'm a believer in domestic cars again - you will NEVER feel underpowered at a stoplight, or an on-ramp. The Benz-derived tranny is a perfect mate to the "demi-HEMI" and shifts smoothly without hesitation. There should be no question about engine performance - RWD's performance off the line is jaw dropping (in dry conditions of course). If you want a car you can schmooze the boss in, and blow past the European imports in, look no further.

At 26,500 miles my hemi broke down with a broken valve spring. I was towed and was without my 300C for a week. Out-of- town dealer replaced all 16 valve springs and plugs. Runs fine now, but I could not believe the stares I got with my hood up and flasher lights blinking last Friday night on a major thoroughfare. I was shocked and disappointed that this could happen. I have never abused my 300C by driving it too hard. My car shook violently and I lost power rapidly. The check engine light flashed unmercifully. I will give my hemi one more chance. The next time I am trading for either a Japanese or German car. I guess American built reliability is still highly suspect.

This car is our second Chrysler and we couldn't be happier! What a car! For the money there is no other car that can compete with the Chrysler 300. We bought the Heritage model and love that it is a unique version of the 300. It's destined to become a classic.

i bought the 2006 300 touring 2 and a half years ago, absolutely love it. It had 42,000 miles on it when I bought it, has 79,000 miles now, with no problems.It has the original brakes, I had them checked last month and their still fine. I live in Kentucky, three trips to fla & One trip to miss, I got 26 mpg, that great for a car this size. I hit a deer year & a half ago, and had to drive a rental, a 2009 Toyota Camry, it was awful, it only had 9000 miles on it but drove & rode like it had 300,000. My last two cars were Cadillacs, a Seville and a sts, the 300 has them beat, I love this car.

I can't get enough drive time with this car. This car corners well, and the 3.5 v6 engine puts out great power. The wife and I get in on Saturday morning, put in a classical or oldies CD, crank up the volume and head out onto the Michigan back roads. I haven't wanted to do this since I bought a new Chevy Nova Super Sport, back in 1972.

Bought car in 2007. The only trouble I had was the dealer had to replace the "mixer", which is the knob you use to switch the air flow. The car has been very good. Gas mileage on the highway (which is most of my driving) is 25 mpg to 28.6 mpg, which is fully loaded trunk and back seat @ 75 MPH. From Michigan to Florida and other parts of the country. The quality of gas really has alot to do with the mileage. I've tried them all. It's supposed to be run on mid grade, but that hasn't been the case either. Last time (feb & mar) just ran it on regular, and the mileage got better and better from the start of the trip to the end. ended with 28.6 mpg. One other thing is I run Synthetic oil. Has 27K

Best car I have ever owened. The 5.7 hemi is very reliable and powerful. It is a joy to drive. The car looks awsome and I get many compliments on it. With the ESC on you can take corners like they were not even there. The brakes are awesome and the traction control keeps you glued to the road. Thia is a very fast and very safe car. The only other car I would consider buying would be the SRT8 6.1 425 HP

Well, i have had my 300 now for a few months, and I LOVE IT!!! I get more looks and compliments from all types of people, from 5 yr olds to 70 yr old men. It rides smooth, and even though its a pretty big car it doesn't seem like it. I have the touring model, so there are a few little extras that i would like, but i can live w/o them. And for being only a 3.5 L V6 its got plenty of power. I live in Northern VA where there is CRAZY traffic and i haven't been run over yet and find it quite easy to maneuver through traffic with my 300. I would Definitely recommend this car to ANYONE!!!

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....

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.

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.

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.

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.
