I just recently bought a 2002 300m Special/dark sapphire blue/black interior , and it passed emissions testing (as like new readings) , with only having replaced the sparkplugs. The car has 237,000kms on it and is in completely original condition. Being the second owner , the original owner obviously had it in a garage since new and took good care of it , without needing anything at all. Judging by the short time I have had it , it is the best used car I have yet to see. The car was starting and running fine (no ticking sounds or noises) , even while the sparkplugs were still the originals. Even the air conditioning outclasses most others I have seen. It has not needed any service.

small to big,... fast to sluggish,.. I've owned them all. The absolute,overall favorite is the Chrysler 300M. Fast, sexy, comfortable, nimble, logical, fun, uncommon, and nearly as beautiful as the perfect woman. Curves in the right places, predictable attitude, a dream to be with, enviable from every angle, fast and precise with a full throttle voice to die for. A perfect specimen, especially when topless. Soft in the right places and graciously endowed with the right equipment. Push the right buttons and get ready for the ride of your life.

A beautiful car, it always turned heads. The handling was more like a much smaller car, and it had plenty of power to respond to any traffic situation without hesitation.
Worth the price- by FAR!

The 300M cannot be passed for the price you pay. You get many features (heated seats, power everything) for much cheaper than most cars of it's class and mileage. This is my 2nd 300M, and can say, that repairs have been few, and the car has been great! Take good care of it, and it will take good care of you!
I LOVE MY 2004 300M

This car drives like a dream, once I got off the dealers lot all the issues I had with them disappeared. THe inside is large and comfy, great for road trips, it has lots of get up and go. My only complaint would be the back window takes quite awhile to clear up Chrysler definately needs to get the word out via better advertising on this car. Until I got on the dealers lot I didn't know this car even exhisted, it put BMW, Audi and Mercedes Benz to shame!

Back in the mid 80's I had bought a couple Chryslers and was basically very disappointed with the reliability, but boy have these cars come a long way since then! It has really been a pleasantry to see my 300M never break down the 90000 miles I have driven it. I have very much been impressed.

Bought my 300M in Jan 07' with 54K. Has 93K on it now. Although this car is powerful, comfortable,it is te most unreliable car I have ever owned: Ignition problems, check engine light, $1,200 GAS LINE REPAIR, blinkers stopped working, power seat died, power windows don't work. It's embarrassing to have people in this car cause they can't put down the window. Don't judge a carby its looks, Chrysler builds garbage and it's no surprise they are in financial turmoil! I researched this car or 4 months before purchased and all reviews are "great". This is the honest truth about this vehicle- don't buy one. And I bought the 80,00 warranty.
Not the Cadillac I expected as a kid.

This car exceeds what I wanted in a car as a kid - classy styling - by adding aggressive handling. Boasting head-turning looks, it has no problem flying around corners near the speed limit with little assistance from the brakes. It's capable of stopping fast enough that I'm worried about air bags deploying. Sluggish out of early gears. Has no problem picking up speed at higher speeds. Mine was purchased used. After manufacturer PCM reprog for Tranny control error code, the system shifts gorgeously. Bad for the wallet as it coaxes me into driving 'a few extra miles'.

Very nice and stylish car. I have bought the 2004 300m special sedan and there were no warranty problems. It was very luxurious with the power sunroof, leather seats etc. It looks nice at the front and the interior but makes a lot of noise. We have almost 20,000 km on it had no trubles to drive it.

THIS IS MY 5TH CHRYSLER IN A ROW. MY SECOND 300M. THE FIRST ONE CAME WITH A 6 WAY POWER SEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY WIFE IS DISABLED. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR I THOUGHT THAT THE SEAT WAS THE SAME AS BEFORE, ALAS, MUCH TO OUR SUPRISE THIS SEAT IS ONLY 4 WAY IT DOES NOT HAVE THE UP AND DOWN FEATURE. MY WIFE REQUIRES A LARGE AMOUNT OF COMFORT FEATURES. THEY CHANGED THIS FEATURE. BAD NEWS.
300M still the best

We bought a loaded new 300M a year ago, liking the style and needing FWD vs at the time the new 300 mobsta cars were only RWD. A year later we are very very satisfied, our first auto -ever- with NO warranty problems!! Great styling, performance, handling and LOTS of interior room and comfort. You should be able to get good deals on used models with the same 3.5L V6 the new 300s have. The car handled well in the snow, heated seats worked great. Read the edmunds.com forum to see how many remain commited to this even since it initially came out in 99.

The AC does NOT cool the passengers in the back seats. The molding on the inside of the doors pulls away about a 1/4 inch. Not a significant amount of UMPH over the regular 300M engine.It was maketed to me as a competeitor to BMW.... NOT! It is an affordable sporty nice sounding(exhaust) car with some style. Looks good. Just though it cold have been a little more special.

Bought the 300 M as a lease returned car with 1500 miles. We have put about 60k miles on since. Car drives well and has good take acceleration. Had to change brakes and rotors with only 40K miles. Now at 76k the water pump went out. This is a major cost,$700. Also to change the timing belt at 100 K is about $1000.

After spending over 6 months reviewing numerous vehicles, I finally decided on a 2004 Chrysler 300M Special. The car is absolutely beautiful to look at, and a blast to drive. With a $4,000 rebate and dealer discounts, I purchased the vehicle for slightly less than Edmunds.com TMV (which is a bargain!). I considered waiting for the 2005, however after seeing the new design (and price increase!), it was an easy decision to stick with the 2004. I believe it looks much better than the 2005. The car is sporty, roomy, and (I hate to use this word) practical. Plenty of room, power and looks for anyone.

Loved the 1999 300M in every respect therefore just bought the 2004 300M Special version. So far, I love the handling, power and looks, but am surprised to find the 2004 lacking in lighted power window controllers, headlight switch and central lock switches, as well as door courtesy lights, all standard on the 1999 version.
pretty good

Its a good car but at $30k some of the details and quality are not great. I've had several minor electrical problems. She runs nicely but sometimes the acceleration is sluggish. The car is also noisy and one of the door speakers rattles when the base is turned up. Its a good looking car that is fun to drive.

Layout of front car inconvenient to work with. Cupholders hold larger cups fine, but don't grip a bottle of water, spills frequently. location of holders is bad place that hits your arm as you move. storage under armrest awkward to reach and hard to do while driving (change holder is there) you can not get toll money while driving without taking and keeping eyes off road. (I wonder how many accidents are caused by this?) Manuals take up most of the glove compartment no storage place to keep CD's. difficult to reach into backseat. Car is comfortable but not functional

We shopped for 2 weeks solid before we decided on the 300M. We compared Chevy Impala and Malibu, Buick LeSabre, Saturn L300s, Crown Vics, Sable and Taurus. No, I don't look at other than American made. The 300M was outstanding in performance, great ride quality, fit and finish, visability, comfort and handling. In addition to these attributes, another plus was accessability. My father has severe back problems and he finds it very easy to get into and out of.

I accidentally bought my 300M for a number of different reasons. My intention was to get a Lexus but after driving the 300M I liked it better than than new 330 and musch better than the Infiniti. I think this is one of the best values of any car I have seen. I highly recommend this even to those who are considering the imported luxury cars. It is every bit as much car.

First the front end sits to low to the ground,when you pull into a parking space watch out for the cement tire stop because your bumper skirt will go over it and when you back up it hangs up and tears it loose from where it is fasten to the fender with screws and will scrape the paint off every time . The second thing there is a MAJOR SAFETY HAZZARD in this car that at the time of purchase they dont tell you about and that is until you read your owners manual will you find out it has to do with people that have pacemakers or know some one with one before riding in this vehicle, it has to do with the TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTOM.

This car was fast, had great European styling [i.e. Carbon Fiber dash, Xenon Headlamps & Turn Signals on the Mirrors]. It was great on the interstate or letting loose on county roads. However, I got to drive dealership loaners more than I got to drive this car. Purchased with 18,000 miles on it. This car had been babied & I babied it. It leaked transmission fluid non-stop. Thankfully I had a warranty, it was a $100 deductible each time it went in [7 total] which got to be steep but not as bad as the $1,100 they would've charged without the warranty. The problem never got fixed & I ended up trading the car in.

If you're looking for a zippy full size car, you should test drive this one. Good driving feel, plenty of space, good acceleration, great stereo, pretty quiet (most of the noise comes from the tires). I like the whole package.

This car is both the best car I've ever owned, and the worst. It's sleek, low, NASCAR inspired style is beautiful. It will fly on the freeway, and rumble impressively in town. The 3.5 litre motor has loads of power. The interior design, bells & whistles are first class. However, it is scared of snow. Even changing to snow tires, the car is skittery and quite nerve wracking. It uses up brake pads every 10K miles. As mentioned in other reviews, the low profile causes the front spoiler to hang up on parking blocks, ripping the front facia loose. It's prone to have expensive climate control problems. The failure of an engine cam sensor nearly caused a major freeway accident.

I bought this car after driving several competing brands. I previously owned a Dodge Intrepid and loved it......so after driving the Grand Marquis and even the Maxima, I found that the 300M had just the right mix of room and performance. The Maxima is great, but doesn't have the room the 300M has, and the Marquis is good, but doesn't handle like the 300M. I'm impressed.
Love it

Bought this car used and within the first couple of months I had to be towed twice and then a third time a few months later. Went through 3 transmissions! Power steering pump seized, had to replace rack and pinion, front axle, numerous evap stuff. But I still like it. When it works. Looks great even 7 years later people think its new. Interior is nice, but my tint keeps peeling and bubbling, climate display in blank so I cant tell whats on or off. Great gas millage for how big it is. Good handling as well. It's really hard to say if this car is worth it or not, I'm really frustrated with it but I'm also having a hard time getting ride of it and finding something similar that I want
An awesome car!!!

This car handles like it is on rails, the brakes and steering are spectacular to say the least. The fit and finish are outstanding. The ground effects are a nice added touch and are understated and the dual exhaust, all I can say is, WOW!!! I have loved this car ever since it came out in 1999 and I never thought I would own one but the deals they are offering on this car make it very affordable and an outstanding value.

Paint is very poor, scratch's very easily. Very areodynamic thus if you are a smoker ashes fly back into the vehicle. Lighter is very poorly placed. If you aror all the dash for a high shine you will not be able to clearly see through the windshield in sunny conditions.

My 300M is Inferno Red with factory chrome wheels and a moonroof. It is the most fun car I have ever owned, and it is the best kept secret in the world. I have driven it through the mountain roads of Colorado at altitudes of over 10,000 ft. and the AUTOSTICK feature of the transmission was a fabulous tool allowing me to safely control the speed of my descent with minimal use of brakes. I have averaged 28 mpg highway and 22 mpg city, but the 3.5L V-6 is ready to sprint at any time. Chrysler has done a great job of proving that you don't have to spend $50,000 dollars to own a reliable, high performance good-looking car... and you CAN buy American.

I wanted a 300 when I first saw them. However my wife wanted a Durango so I lost out last time. Then Chrysler announced the new 300. When I saw it it was just another ugly box. It' only redeming grace was the Hemi engine option. So out went the Durango and a new 300M Special was found. After almost four years of waiting I was not disappointed.

Bought 2000 300m new, sold at 95,000 mi. Bought 2004 with 15,000.mi. 2 1/2 years ago. Do not like new style 300m. Only repair was warrantied cam sensor. Check engine lite is on. Service every 3000 mi. Comfortable, handles great. Will keep.Drive Florida to NJ 5-6 times per year and thoroughly enjoy the trip. Super road car. Have had 4 Lincoln Marks and like the 300 better.Anxious to see next restyling.

Very nice car, tight handling and good performance. Michelin Pilot Sports (18") are awesome. Good gas milage for large 3.5L V6 (21mpg avg) Awesome exhaust note. Massive brakes with excellent stopping power and no fade.
