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.
The 300 is Great
Amazing automobile, gets great mileage (6cyl), rides like a dream, and looks Fantastic. Test drive one and you will buy it.

Watch Out
The 300 is a very pretty car to look at but, if you want a car that will stand up in performance and, reliabilty I wouldn't advise you to get a 300. I've had my car almost two years, I get my regular services however my car sounds and performs terrible. The transmission do not change smoothly and, its extremly loud. My tire went flat and, I was told I have a slow leak in the rim that can't be fixed which mean I have to buy a new rim at $400. If you have a choice please do not get a 300.
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.
so far so good
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
