Used 2006 Chrysler 300 Consumer Reviews
300 warnings
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.
Awful to drive in the snow
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.

Chrysler 300 Poor Choice
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
Mediocre
This Vehicle is overrated.Lots of little things missing that I had in my previous vehicle (2002 Grand marquis) Road noise is excessive.
Nice Commuter Car
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.

The best car built in america today.
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.
2006 chrysler 300 srt8
This is a great auto. Very fast and smooth. Better gas mileage than I thought I would get. Average around 18mpg. It's a fun car to drive and has a great sound. Have been very pleased with this car. If you can find one buy it you will be pleased.
Great Car
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 Love My Hemi!
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.
Can't stop driving.
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.
