Pros: Fast, roomy, great seats, balanced chassis
Cons: Feels large, fuel economy, guzzler tax
The Bottom Line: If you want 400 horsepower in a large sedan, the 300C SRT8 is easily your least expensive choice. You'll sacrifice features and some handling, but no performance.
I've reviewed the regular 300 and 300C before, and this summer drove the entire SRT line at at the S

Pros: FAST, POWERFUL, SPACIOUS,
COMFORTABLE, ELEGANT
Cons: Brakes need tightening, Some cheap parts,
fuel economy of Hemi-C.
The Bottom Line: For under $40,000 (with tax) this is probably the best luxury car you can possibly buy right now. Pray for the CHRYSLER IMPERIAL.

Pros: Styling
Cons: power, steering, braking, visibility, dashboard, controls
The Bottom Line: Go back to the drawing board, Chrysler.
Eight months ago, I was in the market for a new car. Earlier in the spring, I had gone to the NY Auto Show and had fallen in love with the Chrysler 300, based on its looks and design. But love can be fleeting, and sometimes reality sets in. In my ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Smooth, roomy, comfortable, quiet, VERY powerful, great transmission, wonderful styling and FUN
Cons: Poor mileage and DANGEROUS steering overcorrection liklihood in high speed panic steering maneuvers
The Bottom Line: Buy the car if you need American Iron in a comfortable family four door that is part muscle car--it is difficult to find more car for the money.
After owning a dependable 300M for four years, I can provide a comparison between it and my new 2006 300C that I have owned for over a month. The 300M has a gorgeous body style (albeit less streamlined than the 300M), although beauty is in the eye of ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: HEMI power, MDS system, high-quality interior
Cons: gas mileage.
The Bottom Line: Definitely a car to put on your short-list. Provides Mercedes-Benz class luxury with HEMI performance.
NOTE: This is a review of the 2006 Chrysler 300C 5.7L V8 HEMI mated to a 5-Speed Mercedes Benz transmission ONLY. This review does not apply to the 2.7L or 3.5L/4-Speed Automatic variants of this sedan. Contrary to the belief of some, there ...

Pros: Has it all - great looks, handling, comfort and power. Flat out fun to drive!
Cons: Smaller trunk than '99 LHS and no pull strap, Mileage not as good as advertised
The Bottom Line: Good handling. Quiet ride. Great styling. Power. Flat out fun to own and drive.
When I got married 30 years ago, I told my wife, whose family always drove Chrysler products that I'd never have one. Now, I'm on my 5th! 2 Town and Country vans, a '94 LHS, a '99LHS and now a 2006 300C. All have been great cars, from the same great ...

Pros: Everything about it is a pro.
A genuine pleasure to drive.
Cons: I have yet to figure out any cons to this car.
The Bottom Line: Buy this car if you can. You will not regret it. It is more than what it is advertised. Smooth, comfortable and powerful.
We were looking to buy a new car after having had our old reliable workhorses; a 94 Thunderbird and a 93 Chevy Euro. Both cars more than were worth the money. We live in a small town and we take good care of our cars. Drove them until we realized that as ...

Pros: Great suspension and motor (the V6!). Flys!! Nice seats!
Cons: Interior Plastic, Interior Plastic and Interior Plastic. Reliability unknown.
The Bottom Line: A great highway and backroad bomber with room for five. Hate the interior plastic.
Recently, I had some brake noise in my Pathfinder and needed to get a rental car to go to Pennsylvania. Note that the Pathfinder has 108,000 miles and has needed NOTHING but regular front brakes every 54,000 miles and oil changes (MOBIL1 Synthetic) ...

Pros: Solid, road hugging, easy to drive, FUN!, comfortable
Cons: Cruise Control location, No mist option, Auto locking doors, small mirrors
The Bottom Line: I'm seriously thinking about buying this car. Makes driving to work fun again, and I get to do it in style.
I just came back from a road trip where I rented a 2006 300 touring with the sunroof option. Logged almost 2000 kms over 2 days in sunshine, high humidity, fog, rain, night time, highway, dirt road and secondary highway. Only thing we didn't see was ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: Roomy interior, large trunk, decent styling
Cons: 2.7L underpowered and rough, poor visibility, some design flaws, poor workmanship
The Bottom Line: Too many other companies design and sell better cars in the same price range to bother buying this one.
Mrspurg writes a very good review of the car; it's a good thing he has the luxury model. Our company contracted to use the 3006 Chrysler 300 with the 2.7L engine as a fleet car this year. Being a basic fleet car it has very little in the way ...

Pros: 300C has 340 horsepower. COMFORTABLE. More bang for the buck. Good mpg for a V8.
Cons: Interior desperately needs to be refined. Gas mileage is not as high as advertised.
The Bottom Line: Comfort and POWER. WAY more bang for the buck than any comparable car. Dash needs refinement though.
After driving SUVs for entirely too long, I was looking to get back into a CAR. My priorities when shopping around were comfort and cost. I wanted a car with lots of extras. The highest I could go in cost was $35k out the door. After looking at a ...

Pros: Luxury, style, comfort and appearance. Appeals to both younger and older generations.
Cons: Expensive maintenance, and expensive to maintain.
The Bottom Line: It is not only excellent in performance it is excellent in appearance. With regular maintenance, this car will last for many years. Highly recommended.
The Chrysler 300 is luxury, comfort and style at it's best. Style and appearance persuaded me to buy my 300. After owning my 300 for coming up on 2 years it has exceeded my expectations on its performance and the quality of the body. I have only ...

Wow! Chrysler 300c Hemi
by nancycurtis
Apr 15 '06
Author's Product Rating:
Recommended: Yes
Pros: Harmonizes best aspects of European and Detroit engineering and design.
Cons: High sills and low roofline are a problem in some situations.
We had to put our dear Saab in the shop at a time when the mechanic was away. So I had to rent a car. This time it turned out to be a Chrysler. It was such a treat to drive that after 2 days I went to the Chrysler dealership and, after test drives by my wife and me, we bought a 300 C Hemi. It's been two months.
Previously I've owned only European cars for over 45 years because of superior ergonomics, fit, finish, and handling.
This time Chrysler got it right down the line! This car handles well, its road manners are impeccable. Steering is tight and precise. Very little body roll. Comfortable ride. Low wind and road noise. Comfortable roomy interior. Lots of amenities. Everything about its performance feels right. The big engine and AWD are in keeping with the overall design concept, not something plunked in as an afterthought.

SRT8: 8 months after purchase, and I still can't stop smiling.

Mar 21 '06
Author's Product Rating:
Recommended: Yes
Pros: Take no prisoners performance. Amazing performance/value price point. Outstanding braking/handling. Inspires Confidence.
Cons: Excessive brake dust. No trunk closing handle. Had to find something to complain about.
It is quiet, unless I provoke it then it sounds like the powerful car that it is. It drives like a smaller car, holds the road like glue, will safely outbrake many much more expensive cars. It is soul-liftingly quick, looks like it cost twice as much as it did. Has safety many features. It has an intelligent adaptive 5-speed auto/stick transmission (design from Mercedes Benz). AMG engineers were involved in the engine design process. Auto-on headlights,and rain-sensing wipers. Comfortable and supportive Recaro-like memory seats (heated too). Great trunk capacity. Full of other well-engineered features.
It is increasingly respected by, "in the know" owners of other high performance cars. I have never had so many people I do not know approach, and say comments such as "nice car". Well engineered performance and upmarket presence combined- a rare vehicle.
