Used 2010 Chrysler 300 Consumer Reviews
Unbelievable Value
Returned a leased 2007 300C AWD and bought this one, fearing Chrysler will not make such a big heavy powerful car again. I bought Inferno red again and it still turns heads, especially with a new Bently front grill. I used to get a Cadillac STS every two years until 2007 when I realized this is a more beautiful car and has everything an STS has, plus much more, at a much lower price.
Good car...in a straight line
When this model came out in 2005 it was very striking, but the flashy looks are beginning to fade (PT Cruiser, anyone?). The 300 is a great highway cruiser but in any turns at 15+ mph the tires begin to squeal. The car heaves around corners like a boat and visibility makes reverse maneuvering difficult. Gas mileage is also poor at 17 city. The Impala has just as much punch, handles better, and gets 20 city/29 highway. Also, for $32k I would expect the leather to be real and not vinyl made to look like leather. When accelerating there is a brief lag between hitting the gas and the car accelerating. Most US manufacturers have this issue, would be more precise with drive by wire technology.

Timing chain failure @81.5k being replaced at 50k
Mopar has completely failed on this car. I now have to replace my engine after their timing chain broke at 81.5k after being replaced at 53k via recall. Their recall did nothing to fix the problem. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR. The timing chain will break and you'll have to buy an engine. I'll never buy another car from this company or an subsidiary. Go Honda or Toyota. This car has nickel and dimed me since I bought it with 33k miles on it.

Less than pleased
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.
Scarlet
Go for all the bells and whistles, wish I had but I will with my next 300
