Gorgeous car, but utterly unreliable

One of the most beautiful cars in history in my opinion. Unfortunately, I found it to be beyond unreliable. I doubted buying one after hearing so many warnings about Chrysler, but the looks sold me. I was told the engine is built by Mercedes, so I hoped this model was a safer purchase. How foolish of me though... I've spent an average of $4000 a year just on fixing malfunctions. Electric parts failed constantly, and literally hoped for a successful engine start each time I turned the ignition on (due to a mysterious flaw which +3 official dealers couldn't fix). Among other issues, my dealer informed me that the car had an officially recognized defect. But somehow, Chrysler avoided having to pay the costs of fixing that issue. I contacted them directly and left extremely disappointed in their customer service. Drop-dead gorgeous car, but not worth the agonizing unreliability. Hopefully I can save others the pain. You've been warned. (2008 - 300C SRT design)

This car is fairly fun to drive, good acceleration, and fuel economy for a large, heavy car is good, 19-20 in town and 26-28 on the road. It has HORRIBLE ground clearance, the front air dam cannot even clear a normal 5- 6" high wheel stop and drags when turning in to a driveway that has any kind of drainageway on the side of the road. In 5" of snow, the bottom of the vehicle dragged. Also, the doors do not stay open if parked on the slightest angle. The color options were poor in Phoenix, there was only Cool Vanilla available with the GPS navigation option.

Leased this beauty 2 months and 3000 miles ago-compared it to many foreign and domestic sedans before making my choice-have not regretted it for 1 minute. Car is simply amazing to drive, and to look at. Hemi power is as advertised-IMO, much better than the GM 4.6l northstar, or any of the high output V6's. Size is perfect for me and my family of 3 kids. Ride around town, or all day drives are incredibly comfortable. Luxury items like bluetooth, nav, incredible stereo (the 370 watt stereo w/ mygig is just nuts!) I've owned a lot of vehicles over the years-nothing I've ever compares to this. OK, I'm running out of adjectives!

2008 Chrysler 300 LX 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl 4A)

I just put 18,000 miles on a 2008 Impala LT in 6 months and swapped to the 08 300 LX, both are company fleet vehicles and equipped with fleet packages. Both cars are about the same money but the Impala handled much better. The 300 doesn't hold a center line and is very susceptible to cross winds. The Impala had more features, auto headlights, dual climate controls, flex fuel, remote start as standard. The 2.7 motor in the 300 is okay when cruising but it really works on hills. The 300 is roomier and is distinctive looking vs the rental car look of the Impala. The 300 is boring to drive think Buick LeSabre, Ford or Mercury rear drive cars. I would have rather had a hemi and sport suspension!
A Dream...

Loved it... after a lady crashed in to me at 65mph on the freeway I can say the impact was not little, the car is the safest I have driven and is now out and about after a $17000 repair with original parts. I loved my 300, short after it got stolen... I will buy one again!
