I'M LOVING IT

Since the first time I saw this vehicle on the road it caught my eye and I was determined to own one. I waited for about 18 months and the wait has been worth it. The car has met my expectations and more.

best of both worlds

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.

Hemi Engine Problem

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

Great car / 3.5 liter--5 speed

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

Lew's Chrysler 300 Limited

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!

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....
