Avalon?!? Five Hundred?!? HA!
First, to the nay-sayers: you ALL know that NOTHING can touch this car for the price. The feeling you get from driving it ALONE is worth the price. Finally the opportunity was made available for average joes to recieve a little extra respect. It doesn't matter how much of a square you may be, this car will make you appear to be the most cool, together person around. The bad news is this car is such a joy to drive, you won't notice all the looks and attention you'll be getting!!! Even on the mean streets and freeways of California, this car is literally able to make unmanageable traffic a thing of the past. If you think it, it will be done. The car seriously borders on the intuitive. No joke.
300C car of the year
When i bought 300 limited, it was like love in first sight. I was waiting for the Avalon though, but when i heard the horrible problems of the Avalon, i decided to go buy the 300. The 300 looks very superior in looks and luxury to the avalon. I hope all of you buy the 300.

Best ever
I have owned 27 different cars in the past 45 years. All of them have been American cars (at least in name). I have had my 2005 300C for 7 months and I still get a big smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel. This car is amazing. I love everything about it, especially the Hemi. Years ago I owned cars with powerful engins, but nothing compares to this Hemi. Combining the power with the stability control and the suspension, transmission and brakeing system makes it a car worth thousands more than the sticker price. I constantly get compliments about the exterior looks. I get about 18MPG on my daily driving and about 24 on the highway).
Looks great, needs fine tuning!
This is a very stylish car that gets comments from everyone! It is a huge attention grabber. Unfortunately, I drive 35,000 miles a year and spend a lot of time in it. The cloth seats are miserable - very stiff. The two cup holders are small in front. With a baby car seat in back, the back seat has no cup holders at all. The check engine light comes on if the gas cap is not sealed 100% per the dealer. The six disc CD and stereo are very nice. I would not buy the base model car if given a choice.
The Good and the Bad
Like the Hemi power and the smooth transmission. Do not like the rattles. I have a very bad dash rattle, drivers side that I can't seem to get rid of. The sunroof shade rattles if it is open. Also have several electrical gremlims. Auto up window sometimes does not work, rear window would not work one time, auto locks did not lock.
Thomas 2006
It's the car of my dreams, I have been waiting to get one since 1999 when they 1st come out and I finally got the opprotunity to get one! The car handles like a dream on the on the highway it is outstanding. Everywhere that we go people stop and ask us where did we get the car from. My husband and I will more than likely purchase another one in the very near future. Thanks for making a wonderfull car! The Thomas
A lot of car for the money!
I considered this car for 6 months as I looked at many others in the same price range. I can confidently say that this car is the absolute "best buy" in the market today of anything priced around $30,000 or less. Looks like a Bentley, drives like a Mercedes and gets 27 miles to the gallon on the highway - what's not to love? You won't regret making the decision to buy this car.
Chrysler 300
The New Chrysler 300 Limited Touring Sedan is the best car I have ever owned . The drive is unbelieveably good and I have owned a benz and Cads and lincolns and none of them will ride or drive or have the styling of this car. the very best quailty went in to this new car.
Love this car
I've had this car for a month now and I love everything about it. The ride is very smooth. I find the seats very comfortable on long business trips. I upgraded the sound system to the multi- CD player and side curtain air bags. Everyone that sees this car loves it. It's as much fun to look at as it is to drive.
Nice!
Overall a fantastic touring vehicle with all the amenities one could ask for! Very comfortable, safe and also powerful when necessary. I would highly recommend this vehicle for anyone who loves to travel in comfort. If anything, definitely get these 2 options offered..(U-connect, Protection group), these 2 options seemed to make the 300C an effortless luxury. And the MP3 capable CD player was also a huge plus!
Great Car
Driven this car 2000 miles. No problems whatsoever. It's fun to drive and gets looks and questions. A solid feeling and a smooth ride. I am happy it has cruise control because you would have trouble keeping at the speed limit without it.
Awesome!! - Go Get One!
I'm 6'5" and never thought of buying a car. I always drove trucks and SUVs. One day a car service was using this car and I was in the back seat as a passenger. I couldn't believe the room. A few weeks later, I test drove it and I have more room in the front seat than I did in my Expedition. The price/performance ratio for this car is insanely attractive. More HP, all the internal features, Mercedes styling and suspension for 30%-40% off other luxury vehicles. I couldn't pass it up. My wife made me a happy man this Xmas!
Momma's new hemi !!!!
I didn't like this car at 1st sight but after driving it and being around it (i had 3 of them in my rental car fleet in the last year but all were base 300's with 6 cylinders) it has more than impressed me. I owned a 1999 and a 2002 300m both of which my wife and i loved. This car is just so different that it took some time to get used to. We really like the interior and gage design they are very easy to see and read. Also chrysler finally lit up the cruise control and radio controls on the steering wheel. That was one thing i didn't like about the 300m's they was hard to use them at night.
Feels like a sports car!
When I first saw the car in 2004 I wasn't very impressed. This car grows on you. It is elegant, very zippy and fun to drive. Carrying 4 passengers and a driver on a road trip to Miami was very comfortable with lots of room for luggage - trunk is huge! I optioned mine with a moon roof, luxury interior, Nav system, and protection package. I get lots of complements on it. Only complaint is that the Nav System is about 2 years out of date in some cases and I haven't been too successful in getting info on the updates.
Experience a 300C
Power is the name of the game for a 300C, when you need to move there is no hesitation. The dash is a little to plain, but the instrument panel is easy to read. Love the options,and the GPS is easy to use.
Awesome!!!
We purchased this vehicle almost two months ago, and I still get excited to run simple errands. The power, the luxury, and the fun qualities of this vehicle, make it jaw dropping. The quality is as good as it looks. It really is a luxury vehicle, with more power than most vehicles and trucks on the road!!!
Another Hemi - Man
I've had my car about 3 weeks now and I want to thank Edmunds...went into the dealership with the TMV price inside my head and drove out with a 300C at over $1200 lower than that. The old saying knowledge is power!! I got the metallic black..tinted the windows...slapped some deep dish 20's on there...my buddies says it looks like a mob car..lol..needless to say I love it....THX again!!
Candy to the eye
I love my 2006 Chrysler 300L! It is beautiful to look at, so comfortable to ride in and the highway mileage can't be beat. When traveling over 50 mph on the road, put it in cruise. Chrysler has built in a mechanism that shifts my vehicle from a 6 cylinder to a 4 cylinder and I get 460 miles to the tank! The only complaint I have is that the engine is kinda loud for a luxury car. But it definitely has POWER and COMFORT. I love, love, love my beautiful car! Silvia, El Paso, TX
Step up to the plate and get a 300!
Just purchased my new 2006 awd touring...and all i have to say is nothing but "praise" for this car...it handles so well, and is such a smooth ride. It has great power 250 horse for the 3.5 engine. For all the nay-sayers out there, you dont know what your missing!! I am 27 years old and bought this vehicle and i have had people i dont even know approach me out of the blue and have recieved compliments from them!! What are you waiting for?!?!? Step up to the plate and buy this car if you're even considering it!!
Go Get It
I'm 7 feet tall and this is one of the few cars I fit in. Get a clue, GM and Ford!
Great car
The car handles like a dream at highway speeds . Excellent cornering on country roads. Runs very quiet with strong acceleration.
Early returns on the C
The Satin Jade C is 5 months and 7000 miles old now. At this point no issues have occurred with regard to reliability. It has not been back to the dealer. It is comfortable, fun, and quick for such big car. Although these have been around a couple of years now, people still comment on its looks, and so far those comments have all been positive. I look for excuses to drive it still. We took the Sirius, power moonroof, side airbags, adjustable pedals. Mileage has not been bad for the HEMI. So far so good.
Great Car for the Money!
Love my 300C, Great car for the money. Gets lots of looks, has lots of power & get up & go. I had my 300C into the Chrysler dealer in McKinney, Texas for the front tires feathering. The dealer says this is normal. I wonder what happens when the tires wear down bald on the edges? I like other 300C owners can't seem to get the claimed gas mileage, I get 12 city & 21.2 hwy. The Navi system doesn't show as many street names on it & you can not operate it while moving like my Mazda3s system. You must stop & pull over. I am starting to worry about the resale value now. You can get a used 300C right at $30k. I paid over $37k new in June. All in all I love this car!
# fifteen is # one!
Purchased my first new Chrysler in 1965. Between then and now I have had two Pontiacs, three Fords and fourteen more Chryslers. My present 2006 is clearly the overall winner.
Everything and More
I have only had my 300C for 3 months. After driving it for 5,000 miles, i am more impressed with it's comfort and handling than I was at first. I find that it isn't just a way to get from point A to Point B - it is an experience akin to flying first class in a widebody jet. I also enjoy the looks that passing motorist give it. the fuel economy isn't a real factor since i appreciate the 4,000 plus pounds of security that it ofers my family, along with the fact that the 5.7 Hemi provided more that enough power to get out trouble. the tranny is super responsive. I don'y have near enough room to praise the interior except to say - TOPS! In general, I could be happier with my new 300C.
Awesome
This is by far the most fun car I have ever driven. The ultimate dream for every child at heart! I am waiting for an opportunity to take it somewhere where I can let it run and not worry about getting a huge speeding ticket. I had a young boy on a bicycle tell me what a sharp car it was----he was willing to trade his bike for the car! One of the local police officers was almost drooling over the car when he saw it.
Chrysler 300 Limited
I purchased a Cool Vanila, that attracts attention and returns favorable comments. I chose the 3.5L engine. It does a good job but I would not want the smaller engine.
The 300C
The 300C handles well and has outstanding acceleration. Overall, a very nice, well designed car.
300C Hemi
We have had our loaded 300C for just one month and we are very happy with the purchase. Everyone comments on how beautiful the car is. It is an incredible deal for the money. Can't wait to drive it every day. It is not perfect, but for the money what is!! Couldn't be happier. Will write another review in a few months.
Show-stopper/Head-turner
Although it is not the Hemi, I feel that it still has enough power to get you where you need to go and in good timing. It has been one of the better looking vehicle I have ever purchased. I am a Chrysler fan, being that this is the 6th one since 1980. This car is very roomy and the design is one of the best. Handles the road well.
Powerful Fun
Incredibly powerful driving fun. Plush interior, lots of gadgets to play with. Bluetooth calling and heated seats are just a few of the now essential features I use. GPS is very helpful, esp driving around Los Angeles. Sound system is wonderful and "control center" very intuitive, integrating phone, CDs, radio, satellite radio, GPS all on the steering wheel. Car feels safe. Enormous trunk space. Barely 3000 miles on the odometer, but enjoying every drive thoroughly.
HEMI power
that car is great. it hauls more then people and it is a luxury car. i have played with a few 350z on the freeway and they we surpised that i passed them. great car. very comfortable. the features are all perfect and the performance is great. it gets alot of looks and attention.
New car purchase
I wanted to write this to give prospective buyers a little insight. I purhased the 300C all wheel drive about a week ago and the purchase transaction worked well. I had done my homework, including all written at edmunds.com and was pretty well prepared. The one note of caution I give is the $3000 extended warranty. In retrospect, I should not have gotten it. It goes into effect after the 3 year 36000 mile new car warranty expires, but it only lasts until 7 years or 70000 miles. That is about $1000 for every 10000 miles over the original warranty. It is unlikely that the car will need $3000 worth of repairs between 36000 and 70000. You might wish to consider this before you buy.
Chrysler 300 Touring Signature
Ive only owned this car for a few days, so this is a first impressions review, but WOW It has far exceeded my expectations, especially in the room and comfort areas. While the engine is smaller than that in my Jeep Wrangler, this car has much more zip, and may be more fun to drive. The most noticeable feature about this car at first glance is the aggressive exterior styling - my wife calls it a gangster car. She drives a 2004 Nissan Quest minivan similarly equipped to my 300. The styling on the 300 has more masculine appeal than most large sedans, and my 3 year old son would rather ride in daddys car than the Quest.
Wow
I have had 4 cars in the last 4 years and nothing has made me happy- until now. This car is fantastic. We took it out in the deep snow during a Cleveland blizzard and it performed better than our Volvo XC90awd. Awesome power, blaster sound system, smooth ride. Too bad I didn't buy one earlier and save myself a lot of money.
Unbelievable Value and Reliablity
Excellent value for the money. Bought this car 12/05 and have over 33000 miles on it. Excellent reliability. Absolutely no problems. Ride is even better since Conti's replaced with Goodyear tires. The 300C compares favorably with my wife's new 2008 Cadillac STS.
Excited to be back in American Sedan
Have had the car for ~one month. Love everything about it. So nice to see this styling come from Detroit!
"Bombastic !!!"
Test drove all three models (Hemi last). Boy was that fun. Best Car I have ever owned. MOST BANG FOR THE BUCK than anything in or out of class. Have not had it on the open road, but am impressed on local highways. Power is key with this piece of joy.
Love this car!
Shopped dealer lots and online through four states. Looked at DeVille, Lucerne, LS-430, and the Avalon. The 300 was the better buy all around. Fantastic deal -- after the rebate, it was $2K less than TMV. Love the ride, the power. Wife likes the safety aspects and the memory functions. I LOVE the HEMI! Mileage isn't great, but knew that going in. The dealer took the Contis off and put on Goodyear Assurance. Handles great and it's quiet. Didn't take a big hit on the insurance, either. Time will tell about the reliability. Hope to keep it ten years. Will repost after a few months.
My New 2006 Chrysler 300
I have driven my 2006 Chrysler 300 for about a week. I bought it from a fleet dealer. I did not know that it had a small engine since I really don't know much about cars and I fell in love with the car's appearance. It seems to lack power, it's OK but i need a little more get up and go...! I guess I just have to get used to it. Drives noisy like a airplane taking off!
Worth every penny!!!!!!!
Although I purchased the base model, I couldn't imagine the ride being any better. Appointments are elegant, styling is great. Worth every penny
Chrysler
The ride is better than riding in a cadillac. The inside is very roomy and comfortable. It takes the word LUXURY to a level I can't describe, but I do enjoy.
Black2006 300c
Love the car but brakes pulse right off of the show room. I think the car sat to long without being moved and the rotors got pitted. Only have 500 miles on it and it's not getting better. I hope I don't have to fight about getting it fixed.
my c
My 300c has plenty of reserve power, and great looks, but the transmission lags as does its ability to corner tight. All in all if your a patient driver, you'll love this baby. The ride needs to be smoother over bumps.
Good Car but not great
My 2006 Chrysler 300 Touring AWD is a very good car the ride is smooth and comfortable the steering is tight and handles well the engine really loves to guzzle up the fuel with this AWD and the rear seat is not as roomy as you might expect and i really like the exterior design nice and sleek except in my opinion the car doesnt look long enough it looks like it they chopped off the trunk but i wished i had looked around a bit more i would have got one of the more modern cars in this class like the Mercury Grand Marquis or Montego and Ford Five Hundred but i am fairly happy with my 300 its a good car
300C - ROCKS!
Purchased our new car the day after Christmas, dealer was great to work with and offered a good deal. Absolutely impressed by virtually every facet of the car. Very fun to drive looks stylish and sophisticated. A riot to drive with plenty of power and luxury ride on the open road. As this was a lot model we ended up with the base sound system, no complaints with 270 watts of Boston Acoustic sound. Highly recommend you check out this vehicle.
A class of its own
Very stylish exterior and interior, proven 3.5L V-6 that gives ample power, great handling (amazing turn radius for a car this size), good fuel economy, cavernous and very cozy cabin, exceptional instrument layout, and fair pricing. I only hope many others don't discover what I have, so I can still be one of the "few". This is a great car, which made me proud to own a Chrysler again.
IN LOVE
I bought my 300 after I drove my Dad's. I was in love. My friends were jealous when I took my car to dinner and bought it flowers. Hee Hee. I truly love my car and everything about it. The hands- free cell phone feature is awesome. Mine is a 2.7 V6 but its got plenty of get up and go.....Great on gas and what a joy to drive. Thanks Chrysler!
Impressively Stylish
After driving around town a couple of months buldging out eyeballs of onlookers, I decided to take it out on the open road to see what it could do. I drove to Las Vegas from Orange County in 3 hours on a Saturday after work. I was impressed with the fuel economy on the open road. The comfort was undeniable and the sound system was delightfully entertaining and rich. The dash and all the information it had to offer was quite wonderful to tinker with while driving. At 120 mph my car felt as though it was gliding at 70 mph. Responsive and nicely equipped, my 300 Limited is one smooth ride. The beautiful jade pearl color and impressive style will last years to come. Sturdy as she goes. Hot car.
Awesome sedan
I love my C and the Hemi engine. Roomy and comfortable. Great leg room for 6'2" and then some. I also drove an M for years, which had superior handling to the C. Reliability has been very good. Had worn tie rods at 30K, but Chrysler reimbursed for parts at least following my complaint letter. All components work great on this vehicle. I'll average 21 mpg in my 20 mile commute, not bad knowing that this car has unbelievable acceleration when needed/wanted.
