Great styling and performance brought me to this car. It is very comfortable, rides great, looks great. We have enjoyed it for family vacations and short commutes to work and everything in between.

The car has been absolutely flawless. Awesome power and very fun to drive. I have installed Chrysler cold air kit on Hemi and I am putting a cat-back exhaust system on it. On trips car always gets 24.5 mpg even at 75 to 80 mph. Chrysler did good, no, great

Two years have gone by with the 300C and I still think that this is a great car. This is a real car. The power is great, the mileage good for a 340 horsepower V8, thanks to the MDS. The seats are comfortable for a long drive. The car still gets looks from others.

This is the 2d 300. They both wear out the left front tire on the outside. That means the caster camber if off from assembly. The breaks pulsate at 20K miles. That means improper cooling. The deck lid has no handle to lift it up with. If your car is dirty, your hand gets dirty too. That is not practical. The horn needs to be more sensitive. The rear compartment air vents don't deliver what they should for the price. I was supprised that the chrome wheels were made of plastic along with the mirrors -- for the price they should have been the real thing.
An instant classic

The first time I saw a Chrysler 300C it took my breath away. This car stands out in the crowd and I still notice every one I see on the road. I don't yet own one but a couple of years ago I rented a 300 Touring edition for a week. I put nearly 400 miles on it and loved every minute of it. Even with the V6 engine it had plenty of power, it handled beautifully for a full sized car weighing nearly two tons, and it had tremendous brakes. Fuel economy was very good and comfort level in its cavernous interior was great. I liked everything about the car very much and will probably buy one eventually but I still own a nice Maxima and a Jeep Grand Cherokee, so my vehicle needs are met already.
love it but they won't fix it

love my car, but it's been in the shop to replace a bracket on brakes, replace carpet, something to do with the driving line, transmission leaking and rear was leaking oil also. All that fixed but, I've had rattles that I keep going back for and they say it's just the road. I finally called the manager right now I'm sitting at home with no car because they won't give me a rental car, not even for the previous times stated. I dropped car off at 8:30am and it's almost 2:00pm and I've talked to the manager at 12 noon and haven't heard anything as of yet. So I guess I have to call Daimler Chrysler.

I love my 300..I've previously owed a Chevy Impala and i really don't miss the power of the Impala, because my 300 give me that same power. I have 3 children, one of which is in a car seat and they fit in my car comfortably! My son love the car he says he feel like a king because the seats are so high.
Awesome Car

I've owned Acuras, and test driven BMWs and Mercedes. This car outdrives them all, and you do it in plush comfort. This car almost drives itself, and makes commuting a breeze. It even gets decent gas mileage, since it has the feature where it can cut out four of the values when they are not needed for acceleration, which really boosts your gas mileage.
SRT8 doesn't disappoint

I bought this SRT8 primarily for the performance of the 6.1 Hemi; I have not been disappointed with any aspect of it. It has been absolutely reliable and I have not returned it to the dealer for any warranty adjustments. The drivetrain performance is stellar, the lighting is fantastic, and the build quality is the best I've ever seen in production cars. It's exciting to drive and, when I drive it conservatively, it attains 18+ MPG...but I didn't buy it to conserve gas.
Outstanding vehicle

I have not had any real problems out of the car since I bought it. I have only had some pinging from the engine and it turned out to be a failed valve. Other than that, it handles great, has enough power (if I wanted more then I would have bought the SRT- 8) and has a very comfortable ride. Outstanding reliable vehicle for the pricing.
Accident Problems?

Love my '06 300C but recently had a freak problem with only 22K miles on the car. Accelerator assembly (gas pedal) broke loose and jammed behind the brake resulting in not being able to stop and a rear end accident at less than 10 mph occurred. The front end looked trashed but worse resulted in $7K worth of body work plus $5.4K+ for a used Hemi motor (mine was out of balance after the impact) and a used $2.4K transmission. This low impact resulted in > $14K in repair and the car has not run right since. Chrysler has turned a deaf ear on this incident even thought it is fully documented. Lost my shirt on the residual value, time to dump and buy foreign at any cost.
it has a hemi

5.7 hemi with cold air intake and super chip programmer. 200 mph crazy fast and the most comfortable ride I've had. Way nicer than my 09 Cadillac sts. Heavy car and you can feel it when slowing down. I upgraded my breaks and put 20 inch rims on it. Its definitely a luxury sports car for sure.

We bought this 06 in 2013 with 85k one it, and a one-owner vehicle. Since then we have had only common repairs that our dealer took care of without difficulty and without breaking the bank. In the winter we put snow tires and are very happy with the RWD plus ESP performance. The Hemi performance is fantastic and reliable. People should not hesitate to buy this car, as it looks stylish, has a smooth ride, a great performance curve, and is highly reliable plus easy to repair.

Nicest car I will ever own, when it’s not broken

I absolutely love my Chrysler 300. I’ve had 2 of them now. I think it’s the best looking car on the road, so comfortable, fast with the 5.7, surprisingly good gas mileage, relatively cheap maintenance… but here’s the issue. My first one started having major issues around 200k miles. I had to replace almost every sensor in the engine at one point or another, replaced the thermostat, replaced the fuel tank, had to put in about 7 motor and transmission mounts, replace a bunch of headlight wiring because they kept cutting out, replace the fuel pump, all of that just for a radiator hose to blow which caused the car to overheat and melt pieces off the piston. Now I’m on my second 300 because I had 200k trouble free miles with it and I figured I could get that out of another one. Well I was wrong. This one has 120k now and the same radiator hose blew again and blew the head gasket

This is best looking car I`ve ever owned. I was blown away by the stylings of the 300. Unfortunately it has been in the shop over a dozen times with one problem alone clocking 6 visits without the problem being rectified. Needless to say, I`ve given up on this model and probably all Chrysler products as well.
Loved every mile--40K and driving

After having driven both a Mitusbishi Eclipse and four wheel drive SUVs, the handling on the 300 has been a surprise and joy. I love driving on the open road and my 300 made the 150 mile daily commute comfortable. I purchased the car with all of the bells and whstles and have not regretted any of the additional expenses. I am now a life time subscriber to satellite radio and a faithful user of the integrated bluetooth phone system.
Performance after 75000

This vehicle did a lot of highway driving and was great up to 75000 mls, afterwhich started having problems with head gasket, water pump and thermostat which were all related to the heating system, very costly and after speaking with several Chrysler professionals it is to be expected with this 2.7 engine the problems and more not described here. I've met technicians that would not touch this engine. For one thing the water pump is behind the timing chain which becomes faulty because of the head gasket issue, resulting in high labor costs. Really liked the vehicle but dont have time to spend at the dealership spending money in these hard times.

I bought a '99 300M because in 1956 a 300 blew me away in Okla City -- I was driving a '55 Chev with a big engine and lots of toys. I liked the '99 300M, but didn't like the front wheel drive. Chrysler fixed this for me in the new 300. I have a 2006 and love everything the great designers and engineers did. Great Car. PS I also bought the wife a new PT Cruiser -- another great car.

At first glance I love the 300c. Brought the car without a test drive. Love all the attention of driving it. In my third month of owning it, the car began to shudder while accelerating. Took it back to the dealer and learn that there is a technical service bulletin on this car because water is getting in the transmission by way of a faulty dip stick tube on the transmission. The dealer first change the filter and fluid, work for a while, then shudder came back. The dealer replace rhe torque converter as well as change the fluid again. Waiting to see if this solves the problem. I love the way this car looks, the power and feel although the ride is a bit bumpy in the inner city. Full warranty.
Suprisingly Solid and Fun

I have owned my 2006 300c for about a month now. Initially on a trip to Las Vegas, while driving around town the car had some fairly serious issues that turned out to be a faulty fuel sending unit. The dealership fixed the car quickly and other than that, it has been an awesome car. Very quick and solid and plenty of fun to drive. Around town fuel economy is about 14-15 and on the freeway I get a suprisingly good for a car this powerful, 23-24mpg. In my opinion nothing can beat this car when it comes to bang for the buck. It is a great value and well worth every penny.
300C AWD less than perfect!

Vehicle is very comfortable, handles well, ease of entry and exit is very good. Present mileage is 9500. I have experienced throttle hesitation under most circumstances but especially when turning from highway onto exit and attempting light acceleration, it simple does not respond until accelerator is depressed much more and then response is sudden and abrupt. Under full throttle acceleration I frequently experience a severe hesitation between shifts from 1st to 2nd wherein the vehicle seems to loose forward momentum and nose dives! Dealer says "no codes, no problem" I am extremely disappointed in this vehicle due to the aforementioned behavior. My Wife has experienced the same behavior.
C IS NOT FOR CHUMP!

I bought my 2006 Chrysler 300 2.7 lit cause I needed a second car took a long trip already and have been driving modestly love it so far I have driven close to 2000 miles in 4 months he has 133000 on the clock now I got it with 131000,maintenance is key with these engines and I do my transmission every 35000 miles, on the four speed 100000 is way to much for a city car. hope this helps other 2.7 owners. these engines have failures but people driving them like they are V8s will kill any engine its for fuel economy not speed
