  WON OVER !!! - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By Terry - May 22 - 7:29 am

  I love my Hemi. I went from an 01 Avalon to this hemi. My Avalon was a little more luxurious than my hemi, but the car handles so much better! It really turns heads!! The Avalon looks so much like the other Toyotas that people didnt know that I had a top of the line car. This one, looks, feels, and is a much better buy. Easy on the eyes and I get as much or better gas mileage as my Avalon. I was a die hard Toyota fan, but this car has changed my mind. I love it.

  Awesome vehicle - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By Dan - May 16 - 9:04 am

  Leased this beauty 2 months and 3000 miles ago-compared it to many foreign and domestic sedans before making my choice-have not regretted it for 1 minute. Car is simply amazing to drive, and to look at. Hemi power is as advertised-IMO, much better than the GM 4.6l northstar, or any of the high output V6s. Size is perfect for me and my family of 3 kids. Ride around town, or all day drives are incredibly comfortable. Luxury items like bluetooth, nav, incredible stereo (the 370 watt stereo w/ mygig is just nuts!) Ive owned a lot of vehicles over the years-nothing Ive ever compares to this. OK, Im running out of adjectives!

  Psyched about my new 300! - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By jcarroll82 - May 15 - 8:36 pm

  This car is styling, profiling - so lets size it up. If you trust the pro reviews, the 2.7 is just too wimpy to swing this bad boy around. Not enough power, they whine. Sure, Id love to have the Hemi SRT8. But I cant even imagine how powerful that car must be. But theres NOTHING wimpy about the 2.7. It zips and zooms, handles like a dream. So for around 20k, I get a stylish, luxurious head-turner, with Mercedes E Class underpinnings. Sure, everyone THINKS the car is way faster than it is. And maybe thats why the pros dig on the 2.7. Its just not worthy. But I LOVE this car. It saved me from boring large, boring sedanville. Definitely the coolest big boy sedan under 25K!

  By Furyous - May 12 - 6:35 pm

  I like the car except for a couple of minor issues. I love the 4/8 cylinder switching. The power is instant when you need it. Too bad the molding was coming loose on the first day we owned it. Also the cup holders are in the stupidest place possible. If you actually put cups (even small) in them you have a hard time getting to the gear shift. The lack of a trash can or even a place to stick one in a car this big is annoying.

  Love My Chrysler! - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By Lorraine - May 7 - 11:54 am

  I purchased the base line model after test driving more expensive imports. For the price, it was a no-brainer! If I had known how much I would enjoy this car, I probably would have spent more and purchased the touring model. Still, my car looks and drives like a MUCH more expensive auto gets good gas mileage with this smaller engine and has been trouble free.

  Went from Avalon to 300C AWD - Wow - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By Robert - April 24 - 1:54 pm

  Had an 96 Avalon & needed new car. Looked at Avalon and 300C. Bought 300C AWD and never looked back. Best decision we ever made! Avalon was NOT the trouble free car made out to be. Took 300C delivery in October, traveled to Fl. in Jan and to the West in Feb. What a road machine!! Went up Interstate mountain roads full 70 mph without any transmission shifting. Never had any vehicle do that. Engine would simply go from 4 cyl to 8. No effort making the climb. Hit snow in some high elev and the AWD had us going when others were having all kinds of fun. Did 70 mph on the level running on 4 cyl! This car brings back the pleasure of driving. Had forgotten how great driving could be.

  2008 300C Heritage Edition - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By SchatzieII - April 17 - 2:31 pm

  55 mph=30 mpg 65 mph 27+ 1000 mile trip @ 75 mph and city driving gave me 24.7 mpg very surprising. Last year my pt cruiser got 21.5 same trip. Traded in a 2005 mustang and a Mercedes and we love this car. It is a little of both. 2008 is so beautiful with changes to trunk, rear light and inside. Didnt know it had so many add ons. 0-60 timer is neat. If you can buy the heritage edition, do it! See one and u will understand. The power is terrific. 400 lbs of torque! Peoples heads screw around versions of this car have been around since 2005. They edge up to look inside. To me all the other competitors look like someone stomped on their hood. Ugly lot! This car makes old fellow like me happy!

  Could this be the best car ever?!!! - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By Love my 300! - April 14 - 11:25 am

  First, I want to say about the review below are you kidding me! Youre 511" and had troubles in this car!!! What other CAR have you ever driven that is more comfortable for you? Im 67" and have NEVER been this comfortable in a car. I usually have to drive full-size SUVs and trucks to be comfortable. Also, loud engine? What are you comparing this car to a Rolls? My opinion this is hands-down the best car I have ever owned or driven!! Incredible interior/exterior, performance (3.5 V6), gas mileage, reliability, price and any other category you want to consider. I would have loved to be able to spring for the SRT! But this V6 is wonderful in this car (would not recommend the 2.7).

  Blah Blah - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By asjemery - March 27 - 1:53 pm

  Nicely styled exterior with those narrow windows results in limited visibility that is borderline dangerous. Between the front roof post and side view mirrors...look out on turns. The interior was spacious but bland, with nothing to recommend or criticize too hard. I had the V6, which made the cars interior sound like a truck, and was the noisiest Ive driven in years. It did provide good acceleration, and was well matched to the cars below average handling. The engine was not as thirsty as I feared. I got 22-24 mpg in mostly suburban driving. Handling is only adequate - you really have to work the steering wheel, and the cars long wheelbase doesnt help.

  Ultimate car - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By administrator - March 15 - 9:07 pm

  I myself have 300 touring a 2007 I absolutely love my car. It is a very smooth ride, lots of comfort. I have 2 children that are 6 foot tall and they can ride in my car and be very comfortable. I would highly recommend this car to anyone. If you want style and class as well as comfort, then this is the car for you you.
