2013 300s A lot of research before choosing this one.
So I have only owned the car for less than a month, so for everyone looking for more info on reliability, I haven't owned it long enough. The Chrysler 300s v6 with the 8 speed is really well put together. It surprised me with its power. I was nervous I would buy the 6 and wish I had the 8. But it's pretty quick, good power over 4000 rpm. The 8 speed automatic is smooth, and the sport mode is responsive. I commute as much as 150 miles a day in LA and Orange County. I have never wished I had more power merging 6 lanes to get to the HOV lane. And it's quiet as hell on the highway. And 25 mpg avg with a heavy foot. Looks and feels as expensive as a German car, costs half as much. Simple choice.
Nice road warrior car - updated at 100K miles
*update at 95K miles - my lower back is wrecked from the HORRIBLE front seat. Did not order another due to the seats not changing for 2016. Counting the days to get a Passat. This has been the worst seat of any car in my life.* Other than that the car never had any issues getting to 95K. I am a sales professional and choose over similar priced competitors. In the low $30k price range this vehicle is the clear winner hand's down. The US automakers are closing the gap on the other brands. And what you get in this car and compared to the previous years 300 is night and day. This is a really nice car. It has a great turning radius, power on tap when you need it, decent brakes, it is quiet so you will be able to conduct business via phone and blue tooth if that is your thing. Also compared to the Passat with its V6 and this is still the better value.

Get the Hemi!
After owning two top-trim level Mazdas, I grew tired of missing out on true luxury and high-tech features. I was also looking for a more exhilarating driving experience. I looked at the Ford Taurus SHO, the Hyundai Genesis R-Spec, and some others, but nothing caught my attention like the 300 John Varvatos Edition. I love that it is so unique I will never run into another one on the road. It's an unmistakably gorgeous car and it's a blast off the line with the 5.7 Hemi. I have driven it over 2500 miles and I still look forward to every time I get in this car. This car looks better, sounds better, and accelerates better than most cars in the $60-70k range - trust me.
Too many Major Repairs
I want to love this car. It has a very smooth and quiet ride, gets good fuel mileage and it Sparkles! But two issues makes it a Love/Hate relationship: First, the climate control has been doing it's own thing for some time now. Now and then it starts blowing out super-hot air, no matter what temp it is set on. Going back to the dealer for second repair. The front windshield is extremely pitted after only 34k miles! aerodynamics? cheap glass? ( I do not tailgate). At the current pace, I will have to replace it by 50k miles. *update June 28 2016: I have owned this Chrysler 300 for a little over 2 years, and 45,000 miles. It has spent way too much time at the Dealer for major repairs. And getting the repairs made are extremely frustrating. Apparently, Chrysler does not like to acknowledge defects. My entire Dash had to be removed to repair a faulty climate control system. This was only completed after 2 prior visits, where I was told that the system was working per "Chrysler specs". And then the Transmission! Oh Boy! This started early on, maybe after just 10,000 miles, It was shifting quite roughly, sometimes not knowing what gear to go into.. and heavy clunking (like a bad U-joint on an older model car). Numerous complaints and visits to the dealer, just to be told that the mechanics found it within "Chrysler Specs". The car was recently at the dealer for 5 weeks (5/16/201 - 6/21/2016), waiting on a NEW TRANSMISSION. And I seriously doubt that my troubles are over...

Good looking and safe
I've never received as many compliments about a car as my 300 S. The vehicle was well-built inside and out and had the best seats I've ever ridden in. But what I value the most of about the car is the build quality. I was recently stopped a light at the end of an interstate off ramp. A full-sized SUV hit the ramp at highway speed, slid on the ice and smashed into back of my 300. My car was totaled, but I walked away unhurt. This car isn't just about looks.
