Used 2006 Chrysler 300 Sedan Consumer Reviews
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.
Great 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.

Chrysler 300C Spontaneous Engine Failure
I was very satisfied with the overall performance and reliability of my Chrysler until the early afternoon on May 9th when the Engine decided that the parking lot of Osh Hardware Store was the place where it would decide to rest forever. I drove to the store fine and when I came out the car failed to start. I had it towed to the nearest dealership where the mechanic confirmed that that engine is completely gone. The pistons have holes in them and the valves are in pieces, it will cost $8,100.00 for a new engine. I informed Chrysler LLC about the issue and after confirming that the problem was not my fault they only offered to pay for HALF leaving me with a $4,000.00 bill
Power!
Bought this car in April 2010 because it was time to retire my 2000 Bonneville SSEi and I wanted something powerful that also had AWD. I also wanted something with low miles and didn't want to pay much over $20K. With all that in mind, the 300C AWD was pretty much the only option. I originally wanted a 2007, but found a nice 2006 with only 21K miles in my price range. The car is AMAZING. The ride quality is great, the look is great, the handling is great and the power from the 5.7 L Hemi is jaw-dropping. I had had to make one minor repair -- the sway bar bushings needed to be replaced because they were worn and causing a clunking sound over rough pavement, but otherwise it's a total dream!
Cheap Parts
We bought the car 7/06 and in the first year the I have already replaced the tires, the paint is chipping off the handle on the driver's side the leather is already cracking in the driver's seat and the engine lights is always on, not to mention that brake light, dealership claims they can't find the problem after the third time they said they needed to replace the thermostat, why I don't know, I just think this car shouldn't be doing anything the first couple of years,especially when you buy it brand new, we are very disappointed for the money we paid for the car, I just think all the materials are cheap
