incorrect model review info
Bought new 2006 model, 300C w/HERITAGE TRIM, Hemi V8. My fav car of car buying for 60 yrs (age 76) & I have bought 3 new Mercedes. Love handling, acceleration, & styling. Added Bently style grill & $2100 entertainment center to get all the options of the newer cars. Have owned for 12 years. Low mileage due to owning other cars, 62,000 miles over 12 1/2 yrs. Always garaged. Hard to part with.

For a Blast Drive a 300C
I purchased this car new in November of 2006. It combines, power, handling and luxury all in one package. After owning high end Lincolns, Oldsmobiles and Buicks, this auto is one of my favorites with exception to the Buick Park Avenue. The 300C AWD intertwines ample power, superb handling and amenities that gives the driver and passengers a superior auto experience. In three years of ownership there have only been two visits to the dealership and the problems were a tech bulletin notice for a transmission seal leak and the navigation CD failed. Both were handled with no residual problems. I plan on keeping this car for a long time, side by side with my Park Avenue!

I Don't Love It
10-15,000 miles in since I bought it at 40K. I'm coming off of a 9 year relationship with a '98 Bonneville so I'm a little biased but this is NOT the best automobile I've ever owned. The ride is all right, the fuel mileage is abysmal, it gets pushed around like a minivan in cross winds and the build quality is a little suspect (the brakes were completely replaced by the time I bought it at 40K, as was the climate control module. And recently 2 quarts of oil just disappeared from the engine).It's a little hard to see traffic lights (I'm tall) but I still just like to walk out and look at it. The styling is just fantastic. I'll take pictures because it might be the last Chrysler I ever own.
Chrysler 2006 Shudder Transmission Problem
I bought this car in 2005. I love to drive it and love the way it looks, however, I have had many problems. 2 months after I purchased the car I brought it in for shudder problems between 30 - 40 miles per hour. Going on year 7 the dealership never fixed it or could repeat the problem. They know this is a problem. They are screwing people. Now, I am out of warranty, have 170,000 miles on the car and continually get told that I need a new transmission. I am taking this to a lemon law lawyer. I also had to take the car in continually in the beginning for electrical issues such as, back window not rolling down, EBS always on. I have never broken down but feel the car is not dependable.
Love it
Hoped it would get a little better gas mileage (averaging 19 city 23 highway), but that is only thing I've found that isn't a ten. Brings me back to the old days of big Detroit Iron that feels good to drive. That and the constant compliments make this the best car I've purchased in two decades.
