Solid Performer

Bought new in 1999 and I couldn't be more pleased. I had to replace the door locks and power window motor like others here, but that's it - a total of about $600 in repair over 8 years. Drives great and I've been impressed on mileage - 29+ in freeway driving with 4 adults and luggage. 22.5 in everyday city driving. If you're looking for a low cost family car, easy to maintain but fun to drive - this is it.

Great performance, mediocre reliability.

I have had the car for 4 years so far. Bought it in 2008 with 77K miles on it. Since then I've had to replace the power door lock on the driver's side, the front suspension control arms, turn signal flasher and the oil pressure switch. The a/c also doesn't blow cold because there's a leak in the a/c system (the condenser, compressor, or evaporator). Not sure if I want to spend the money to fix the a/c. Also the interior instrument panel lights were flashing, so I replaced the headlight/dimmer switch assembly with a used on purchased from eBay (that fixed the problem). However the car has strong acceleration and smooth engine performance, but Chrysler needs to focus on reliability.

Comfortable, Reliable, Fun Car

My second 300M , both a pleasure to own. The first had a sticky driver's window and one faulty switch in 30K mi. The second has been trouble free. The only design fault I can complain about is the high trunk sill that gets scratched by heavy suitcases. Hardly major!

Good price, sacrifice quality

2nd chrysler product I've bought, will be my last. The power- everything options is where the quality shows through. For the first 2 1/2 years I had no major problems. Since then, my engine cut out on me while on an off ramp, almost causing an accident. Carbon buildup in the throttle bore (29k miles). Power window went bad. Power seat shifted around as i drove (dealer considered "normal"). You get what you pay for. Car is nice to look at and comfortable to drive, but still k- car quality. They consistantly rank at the low end of reliability for a reason.

Good Value For the Price

I was looking for a car that was sporty yet had room for more than two people. Compared the 300M to Lincoln LS and Lexus. Although those cars are considered exceptional, the 300M was by far the best bang for the buck. Had some Goodyear tire issues that got resolved, they were causing a slight pull to the right. They need to improve upon the molding around the doors, doesn't seem to fit very well.
