2008 Chrysler 300 Consumer Reviews

Vehicle

2008 Chrysler 300 Touring 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Review

Bold styling I like, smooth ride, fits lots of stuff in trunk, decent acceleration. Lack of visibility because of high back dash and short windows. Planning on selling/ trading because of this (after two fender benders). Reliability has been excellent at 89000 mi. Used to spin rear tires on wet asphalt alot, got new tires and whata-ya-know it drives like a normal car.

Review

I loved this car from the moment I bought it. Sadly I was hit by someone doing 45 at a complete stop. An my car held up like a tank compared to there's! It's also extremely comfortable an big inside for the cost. Highway mileage is 26-28 city it 17-22. Could be better but I knew what I was getting myself into. For the trim an leather seats an all the features an the low mileage an price I paid. Well worth the cost!! Had it over 8 months an not one problem. Had one recall on it an had dealership fix it free. Great car that's safe an very customizable. I've put the newer bmw/Audi angel eyes CCFL lights with bi xenon an I get nothing but compliments!

Review

Great style, great performance and total comfort make for a superb vehicle.
This is my second 300, with the first being a 2006 Touring model. The Touring was a more balanced car, delivering everything I needed.
But the 300C Heritage Edition give me everything I want. Speed, comfort and reliability.
Great highway cruiser, and it pulls strong up to it's 130 mph electronic limit. Nice neutral handling through the turns, and good communication as you approach the car's limit's.
Amazing comfort and stereo combine to make the miles effortless.
I now have 148,000 miles, and no problems yet - I still have the original brake pads and rotors!
Update:
Just passed 170,000 miles and the car's still running strong. I finally started to get a little warping of the front rotors at 160K, and went ahead and replaced all four rotors and installed new brake pads. Aside from the typical highway stone chips on the paint on leading edges of the car, it still looks new inside and out.
Absolutely the best car I've ever owned.
I can afford a new car, but this has everything.

I have had nothing but trouble with my car and the dealers in northeast Ohio don't know what they r doing!!Leather seats cracked at 28,000 miles,crank sensor seal leaked and had to be replaced 2 x.Lumbar adjustment broke after dealer replaced the leather seat covering, dealer ordered 4 seat covers before I finally got my color.Then motor starts ticking and its the Valves so the dealer fixes and then says a new valve stuck and replaced whole top end of motor,water pump because of their poor work,take car home and it leaks oil so take back for another crank sensor seal :(Very unhappy with quality of car and dealers

2008 Chrysler 300 C 4dr Sedan AWD (5.7L 8cyl 5A)

Review

This is my second 300C AWD.
The first was the 2006 model and I loved it.
Then I got the 2008.
What a disappointment.
It's noisy and has been having issues since day one.
Off and on electrical, the navigation system, UConnect. Additionally new rotors at a little over 12000 miles.
It's been a royal pain.
While the ride is smooth, the noise level is ridiculous.
Being on UConnect, it is difficult to hear over the noise in the cabin.
They definitely cheapened this version compared to the 2006.
I had planned to stay with Chrysler, but now, I'm thinking not.
Unless they've made some major improvements to quality, I'll take my money else where.

Best Features

Interior Styling, and V8 pick-up

Worst Features

Sound proofing needs major improvement as do the brakes. Rotors have short life in stop and go driving.
