Used 2016 Chrysler 300 Consumer Reviews

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

I just purchased a 300 AWD 2016 in March 2017. The dealership needed to move this car and really discounted the price. I traded in my 2015 Buick Encore(fully loaded, very poor performer) and got an exceptional deal. I took the car home in a snow storm and it was smooth sailing, no skidding, sliding or having the AWD system shut off like it did in the encore. Since the storm, I have put on about 250 miles and this car is a joy to drive. Handles great, accelarates great. So far I have zero complaints. Well done Chrysler! UPDATE 12/2018 STILL LOVE THE CAR GET TONS OF COMPLIMENTS, ONLY ISSUE IS AN INTERIOR RATTLE THAT CANT SEEM TO BE FIXED AND DRIVES ME A BIT NUTTY

A beautiful vehicle at a great value

I test drove Cadillacs and Lexus's before I came upon the 300. I did not think it would be anything special, but the 300 absolutely shocked me, so much as to think, "why doesn't everyone have one of these?" The ride is so soft and easy-- absolutely effortless to drive. The UConnect system and entire control system is so easy to use; everything that should have a button or knob does and there's no unnecessary cluttering. I love the way the navigation system appears on the driver's dash and decreases the volume of the music only on the driver's side to give an upcoming direction. I do wish that the navigation system allowed the passenger to type while the vehicle is in motion, but I understand why it doesn't allow it. It is such a comfortable car, and if it isn't, there are a multitude of ways that you can adjust the seat to make it most comfortable. The Pentastar engine is fantastic. It's funny that I had the same engine in my Wrangler, yet in this vehicle it seems entirely different: so refined and reliable. I can't tell the auditory difference between when the vehicle is on and when it is off-- that is a great vehicle. I do wish there was more backseat room, but for someone who rarely has backseat passengers, it's hardly a complaint at all and the massive trunk more than makes up for it. I am so happy with this car-- sporty, classic, bold, luxurious and goes like hell, even without the 8. The panoramic sunroof is gorgeous and hardly makes noise when opened, something a lot of other sunroofs fail to do. I'll be running this vehicle into the ground!

Chrysler 300 The good, the bad and the fantastic

The car was a great deal and I got a lot off of the sticker price! It wasn't the color I wanted (black on black), but the car has been surprisingly pleasant to own and drive. I have had it now for a month, and enjoy the car. Positives, technology! The car is wonderful at keeping you in the lane, warning you of traffic and helping you to stop! The navigation and U connect systems are stellar. The acceleration is great and the car is extremely quiet! What I don't like, rear leg room is not great for such a large car, and the seats are pretty hard. I love the heated and cooled seats and cup holders. Finally the front and rear LEDs are great looking and so are the wheels! Now at over 6k miles the car continues to be great, quiet, technologically capable, powerful, and fun. The only problem I have had is that the A/C and U-connect screen whet down. It re-set itself after shutting the car off for a while. Gas mileage in town about 15 mpg but on the road almost 22mpg.

300C is a niccce full size car

It has been 1 Year of owning the car and I have updated this review. I,m a believer you need certain vehicles based on your age. Teenager- hot rod. newly married with no kids-a 4 door sports car like a Nissan Maxima, having little kids- a minivan or a mid size SUV like a Highlander , purchased a house and will be doing most repairs yourself- Truck, Midlife crisis -Convertible. Well I've been through all that. Next car for me on Lifes Bucketlist is a "Old mans car", there are many out there, from Cadillac , Lincoln, Mercedes etc, I bought myself a 2016 300C, and I love this car! 1st of all, you can get alot off the sticker because they have some tuff competition. Next compare the features in this ultra loaded car to a Cadillac and you can see it,s easily a $10-16000 bargain. Chrysler tries really hard to compete against others by putting a lot in their cars, Michelin mx v4 tires, double sunroof, nice looking chrome wheels, front and back heated seats(who does that !) a Mercedes looking interior layout, a car frame that was used in previous Mercedes E series, 8 speed transmissions. AWD. huge trunk. Accessories Galore. Driving this car with the V6 I find it to have plenty of power and zip. I drove both the V6 and the V8 Hemi on 2 different days and I honestly could not tell the difference. The ride is very comfortable with the 4 wheel independent suspension.the car also has a quiet interior. My only complaint is I find the middle arm rest is set too far back, your elbow is almost falling off the front of it. Small complaint considering their are a hundred things in a car that could bother you. I have been buying Toyotas, Nissans and Mazda,s for 30 years now and it feels good to come back to an American car that I can say I really love. As for the Edmunds review of small rear window -who cares, the car comes with radar sensors in bumpers and a 8" rear back up screen .Take one for a test ride around the town and 1 exit on highway, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

300 the car

This my 3rd 300 & they only get better.

My Second One

I am the proud owner of a fully loaded 2016 Chrysler 300 Limited 90th Anniversary Edition I purchased in October of 2016. This is my second 300 and my wife and my 3rd. My wife had a new 2006 when we met. I also had a 2011 300 Limited same white exterior and black leather interior as the 2016. All 3 of these cars are and were excellent in every way. We never had any issues and always was the car of choice on any outing or event. The 2011 and 2016 are a big step in the direction of challenging some of the more expensive competitors. We have always compared and found dollar for dollar, the 300 is always the better car and certainly a better buy. For those of you who have not tried one, I recommend you do so before you make a final decision on your next car purchase. You will be glad you did. I only hope Chrysler keeps doing the great job they have to this point as well as keeping this car for years to come. If they do, I will be in the market in a couple of years for my next Chrysler 300 ! UPDATE: Well, in 2011 I bought a new 300 Limited. Bright White with Balck leather interior. Had it 3 years and loved it. not one issue. sold it because also had my 2001 Lincoln Town Car Cartier as well as my Jaguar XJ-S convertible. We sold our home and moved into our new home. Needed garage room and one car had to find a new home. Fast forward to 2016, I sold my Lincoln and off to shop for the updated 2016 Chrysler 300. Found the one I own now. It has been the same joy I had with the 2011. It ended up being the same color combo as my 2011. No issues. have 43,000 miles now almost 8 years later. Always serviced at Chrysler. 2 minor recalls serviced;1 interior component replaced under warranty after the warranty expired. Chrysler honored their commitment to quality. I get 19 to 20 mpg around town and up to 32-34 mpg highway on regular gas. All in all, the ride quality, drivers seating position, the great gas mileage, excellent build quality and sharp looks adds up to a car to keep forever. Looked around and nothing out there that I would consider that compares.

I LOVE THIS CAR!!!

When I am in this car I feel like I am driving a luxury vehicle. I have the AWD. The ride is smooth, the sound system is superior to any other car I have ever owned and sometimes when I have arrived at my destination I don't want to get out! ha ha.... But seriously, this car is fantastic. I have the V6 and it is very powerful on the road. This baby can move. My husband is the one who convinced me to get this car. Granted he has great taste in cars, but I really do love this one and I am glad we chose it. The panoramic moon roof in the anniversary edition is the best. I just LOVE that aspect of the car. I bought my car used and as I was test driving it, I was wondering what would make a person want to give this car up! It is wonderful. Get one. You won't regret it!!

What a fantastic car!

I have a 2016....picked the wrong year. I never write reviews....but I had such great luck with this car I had to see if my car was a fluke! But it looks like these are great cars. I have a V8 300S and I beat the h*ll out of it. Ive driven it 30 miles way back up into the desert. I put about 24,000 miles a year on it and it has never failed me...... zero maintenance except for oil. I am even a leadfoot. Even at 71k I am still on the same set of brakes WTF??? I have owned Vette's and BMW's but this has been the best. So happy with this car.

Wonderful car.

I bought my 2016 Chrysler 300 Anniversary Edition brand new... black in black. It has been a wonderful car. We still have it. It is my wife's favorite car. We drove a Lincoln Town Car, before they stopped making them. I took my wife to look at other new luxury cars, thinking about getting a new car. She said none of the cars she saw were close to her Chrysler 300, so we will still drive it a few more years. After 5 years of driving, we still love this car. I often think of replacing it, but why? Our Anniversary Edition has a better quality leather interior than most current cars, and rides fantastic. We have only put 40k miles on it, and maintained it, so it is still like new. Best car we have ever had!!

2 valve bodies in under 9000 miles

I had to put in 2 Valve bodies in the transmission in under a year and before the car hit 9000 miles. The sport suspension leaves a lot to be desired as well. I feel that the suspension should be much smoother for a $42,000 sticker price. The car is beautiful and the electronics and standard safety features are great, however my transmission issues and suspension rattles outweigh the beauty. The resale value is poor as well.

TOTAL GARBAGE POOR QUALITY AND NO PARTS TO FIX

This car has had nothing but issues. Paint was chipping and peeling with in the first month of ownership. Navigation radio locks up and has been replaced 3 times, and still freezes. Gas tank leak fixed once now leaking again. Door panels are coming apart at the top and the inside door handle broke on the passenger side door. Worst yet THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT DOOR PANELS and I have waited for 4 months with NO RESOLVE FROM CHRYSLER!!!

Great car

Love the styling and the comfort. Technology/entertainment package is great.

Loving my 2016 Chrysler 300

It rides and drives well, although I had to replace Lifters at 80,000 miles and replace Thermostat it runs strong.Replaced original battery at 101,000 miles along with Oil Pump. Happy with my 300. no major issues at 123,000miles. runs well. rides good.

Great job

Great car, awesome sales deal

Basically a new used 2016

Just purchased a slightly used 2016 300s AWD with the v6 and could not be happier. With only $31,000 miles and a sale price of $18,600 from the local Chevrolet dealership I have been amazed on how nice this car is. Other than missing apple CarPlay all is the same as a new 2020. Highly recommend to anyone!

One of the best cars I have ever owned

This is one of the best cars I have ever owned, very reliable. I have put 130,000 miles on it and have never had a hiccup with it, drive it to Washington DC more time than I care to remember and it looks and operates as new. I would highly recommend Chrysler 300 to anyone looking for a new car.

300 s V8 RWD

Sporty suspension so don’t expect floaty ride. Repairs in first 30k miles: Driver side strut, back up camera, 2 recall issues. OEM tires lasted 22k miles. Brakes need replacing at 35k. Small rattle from dash.

A pretty decent car

Very comfortable car. Quality control is lacking as I’ve had a few trim pieces that failed at 50,000 miles. Also had several wiring harnesses not plugged in at the factory. U-connect sucks. It’s slow, pairing takes minutes not seconds. Has decent power for a big car. The transmission can be clunky, it doesn’t like when you go from braking almost to a stop and hit the gas. The doors open wide enough for me to get my mother in law in from a wheelchair, other cars we looked at the doors didn’t open far enough. Engine is actually pretty good if you take care of it. Maintenance is higher than older cars because of the modern engine design almost all new cars are the same idea. I’ve had mine for 3 years now and still like it, just wish the quality control had been better.

2016 Chrysler 300s

Always in the shop!!!

I had the a/c replaced the first year I owned the car. Then, other a/c issues. Then, back up camera and key fobs not working. They had no idea why! Now my a/c is blowing hot on the passenger side and cool on the drivers side. For a 4 year old car, I have had nothing but TROUBLE with this car. I gave up my 12 year old Taurus for this car and some days sorry I did. I didn't have as many issues with my 12 year old car as I have had with the Chrysler. SO disappointed.

What Did I do! Downgraded HUGH MISTAKE

I now have a 2016. Best part less miles on it. I loved my 2013 300C Luxury black on Black sedan. Not so much with the 2016. That 8 was overcharged by a 1000 plus dollars as dealership did NOT honor the PRICE they had on line. Yet said they.would.. the 2016 is Lacking so much. I hate that I made that stupid trade. It was a huge downgrade to me. I loved my 13. I have to ask God everyday I think of this 2016 LORD HELP ME TO LIKE IT. Yet I have to thank GOD for a vehicle.

My 300

This is my second Chrysler 300. This 300C is full of luxury that you don't get in other comparable sedans. It rides good and the gas mileage is excellent for a big car. The interior is spacious and roomy as well.

Sweet Ride

This is the second Chrysler 300 I’ve had my first was a 2007. I was pleased with all the improvements that had been made since my last one. Really sorry that Chrysler is discontinuing this model in favor of an electric version. Internal combustion rules until a safe hydrogen model can be made.

Nice big luxury car

The 300 is a nice car for in town or on the road. I love the looks especially with the tinted windows.

LOOKS GOOD AND SCOOTS

This vehicle is quick, gets good mpg for a large vehicle, love it !!!

Clean

Great car

Black Beauty

Started off leasing this car ... I fell in love with it and winded up buying it. Great ride, and timeless style. purchased the extended warranty which was worth it. I did have a problem with the GPS and Radio which Chrysler replaced. No problems since. The 3.6 VVT. engine with the 8 speed Transmission gives you plenty of power... when you need it. Makes you feel safe and secure especially with NJ. Traffic. .I would highly recommend this vehicle.

Stylish and smooth!

I've had this car since June 2017 and I love it! This car drives very quietly and smoothly. Pasengers remark that it doesn't feel like we're going as fast as we are since it's so smooth and quiet. I have the V6 and it has good acceleration and can easily drive fast which I like as I have a heavy foot. I love the look of the car, very stylish. I also enjoy the sunroof with extended moonroof. I maintain the car regularly and it has been dependable with one major issue. the OEM rear drive shaft failed and had to be replaced and I had a coil (cylinder #2) fail.
