Unique, comfortable, powerful and luxurious. There’s just something special about driving this car that I can’t explain but I’m sure many owners will agree. The seats are sofa comfy. The transmission is super smooth and the interior ultra quiet. On the exterior, the car just stands out from the crowd and graces all on the road with its presence. Mine 2012 Limited model has now surpassed 140 thousand miles and all I’ve ever done was regular maintenance and haven’t experienced a single problem with it. I hope Chrysler thinks twice about killing it off soon. Must get my hands on a new one before they no longer are produced.

Mopar....to those children of the 70's it conjures up the cream of all muscle....then....KABOOM! The whole thing goes to hell. K-cars, Omni's, and the rest of the K-rap. Then....the new 300...and in 2012, the 2nd generation. All I can say is value, beauty, quickness and all wrapped in a luxurious package. Sure...it doesn't get the looks of my Jaguar...but hell it runs every time, so I am impressed. I love this car. Period.

I have owned a 2012 300C since 2014 and it is a nice car. I Bought it used in excellent condition. Full luxury package. Interior is nice with two-tone interior. Heated rear seats are some what cramped but very comfortable. Hemi engine is strong when pushed with a nice sound coming from exhaust system. We went to look for a MB with same features and could not find one with features of the 300c with out costing us a arm and a leg and our grand kids! Wow! REAL WOOD, REAL LEATHER DASH. Heated leather two- tone steering wheel with paddle shifter for when you are in one of those moods. But really for the short time I have owned this car I have enjoyed driving it. It does have a little interior noise in sliding head liner when windows are opened.

A Benz By Day; An Audi At Night

First, I'd like to disclose three points. 1. This is the first car I've owned manufactured by one of America's Big 3. 2. I've never owned a car that didn't have a clutch, and this was a real hurdle concerning the "fun-to-drive" factor. 3. I loved the interior of my last vehicle, an Audi A6. I was surrounded by real leather and wood, not the disgusting plastic so prevalent in today's cars. My 300 Luxury Series (Pentastar V6 mated with the ZF 8-speed) truly lives up to its name. Both the engine and the interior won Top Ten honors by Wards Auto this year. It's absolutely gorgeous inside and out. The Mochachino leather exceeds my expectations. This is North American luxury at its best!

AWD 2012 Chrysler 300

I bought the car in 2019, kept it 6 months. I think the styling is awesome the main reason I bought the car. Seats are comfortable and car is quiet. I don't know if it's the all-wheel drive or not but I find the ride to be too firm, feeling just about every bump for a car this size and I made sure the tires were 30 lb PSI to soften it up. I would have preferred a plush ride. Quite a few mechanical problems lowered my score for this car such as cruise control worked on and off. All of a sudden there was an error with the all-wheel-drive that said it had to be serviced. Once that happened, everything else seemed to be connected to it so nothing else worked. No more cruise control no anti-lock or traction control or blind spot protection. Apparently when that light popped on about the all-wheel-drive being serviced, everything else went out with it. I wasn't going to get into repairing that, sold the car. One thing I noticed is, it was a [non-permissible content removed] to close the door when you're sitting in the car, you can't reach the handle. Also when you go to open the drivers door if you don't push it open with just right amount of force, the door closes back on you. The infotainment Center is okay but not great and sort of a nuisance how you have to open a different window and then choose airflow if you are looking at the radio on the screen. But they put a hard AC button down below. Why didn't they just put a hard air flow direction button down there so you don't have to fiddle with the touch screen. The gas pedal is a little weird in that you get a delayed reaction when you accelerate. I don't know if it's an electronic gas pedal or what but that sort of sucks.
