Back to buying American

Pound for Pound, this car stacks up very well with the foreign cars that compete in its class - Infiniti I35, BMW 325, Lexus ES300, etc. Engine is powerful enough to get the car moving, autostick is a plus when you need all of the 255 horses at once, handling is great with the 18 inch wheels, and the interior is engineered with comfort in mind. I was nervous about buying an American car again, but I am very happy that I did. After crunching all the numbers and driving the competing cars, I believe this is one of the best values for around $30K You get a lot of car for the dollar.
When it starts to break run away!

I got the car with 45,000 km paid probably more than it should have, I traded my sebring for the 300M. First year no major problems, than it started. The front suspension started braking. I had to replace many times over the front end such as: Stabilizer bars, link-bars (upper-lower) bars, brakes etc. Parts were expensive like Mercedes or some foreign car (no wonder they are going-under). Too many electrical issues lights flashing, engine light. The sad part is, I actually liked the car and did regular maintenance. Stay away when it starts showing problems Sell fast! I had too many problems (spent over $10000.00 in repairs since 2005).

Never Again

My 300M looked great, and had spirited performance to match. Unfortunately, the car was plagued with problems, and the dealer service was horrible. The car was serviced 6 times for the HVAC system which blew out cold air in the middle of winter (even with the thermostat set to 85 dergrees). Both front windows squeaked and made scraping noises when raised and lowered (the dealer's solution - apply WD-40 to the glass!). Electrical problems damaged the transmission. I contacted Chrysler directly about my issues, but I got no resolve. Thank God, after 10 months, Chrysler purchased the car back under the Lemon Law. Needless to say, I'll never buy another Chrysler product again in life!
Not too shabby

I purchased this car used with high miles so my expectations weren't the greatest. The first few problems i ran into would have been minor had I owned any other domestic car. I don't understand why parts are so much and mechanics cringed at the thought of working on it. The tranny went out and drained my bank account but I have the previous owner to thank for that. I seem to continue to have issues with the power mirrors going haywire but otherwise no electrical problems. All told, I like the looks and feel of the car and if the new tranny takes it over 200,000 miles I'll be satisfied with my investment. Provided nothing else major goes wrong.
Fine auto

I am very pleased with the 300. It has handled all types of weather conditions and road surfaces. It is wonderfully soothing on long trips, leaving one with a relaxed feeling when arriving. The outside continually receives atares, particularly with the red paint that I have. It is the first American car I have purchased in 20 years, so it obviously spoke to me loudly. I am very pleased to have it and would suggest it strongly as a fine auto for the money and the value.
