  Pleasantly Surprised - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By Peter R - March 14 - 9:57 pm

  I was very reluctant to purchase an American car after experiencing the reliability of some Japanese makes, but I must say, this car feels extremely well built and it really delivers a superior ride and feel than the Japanese cars Ive driven. Even with the base LX, you still get a well appointed semi-luxurious ride with an adequate engine. Its tough to complain about the 2.7L when it delivers gas mileage in the mid to high 20s. I am really impressed with this car and would highly recommend it. If youre looking at any Nissan, Honda, or Toyota in the low-mid $20s, give the 300 a chance.

  Love my 300 - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By ROCK - March 3 - 10:12 am

  So I went against the preferred engine and really I think the concerns are a little overrated about it. I think if you want performance slapping a massive engine in it wouldnt satisfy my personal preferences. In saying that we bought this because $4 gas will soon be a reality. The car rides incredible, the fit and finish is the best of any Chrysler I have owned by far. The road noise is minimal and the look is just sleek it looks like a much more expensive car. The stereo sounds great and the sets are very top notch. We traded in a Durango and this has more leg room in the rear then our SUV had. I am really pleased with my purchase and the 25 mpg makes me smile.

  Superb Vehicle - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By Mark Robinson - February 2 - 1:14 pm

  I have had this vehicle for a few months now and I could not be happier. Not only is it fun to drive but it always seems to draw attention. A lifetime powertrain warranty was icing on the cake for me. Will definitely purchase another Chrysler.

  This one is a winner - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By Mike - January 31 - 3:25 pm

  Just bought this vehicle after being a big Cadillac Seville fan. I was looking for an AWD vehicle and looked at the Infiniti M and Lexus GS, finally drove this one and for about 12k less (based on my final cost) this was hands down the best buy. Interior design and materials arent Lexus or Infiniti but they are far better than any of the other vehicles I had looked at including the Cadillac. Good ride, will go through anything (within reason), excellent entertainment system, great seats, and one of the few cars that you can get rear seat heaters in. Back seat is comfortable and you actually have leg room. Exceptionally quiet too. The price after rebates and discounts was amazing.

  First Time Chrysler Owner - Mistake ?? - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By Terry - December 28 - 12:58 pm

  The first six days of ownership were great and enjoyable. Great ride and appearance. Drove the Hemi and 3.5 V6..noticed a heavier fell with the Hemi..but mileage and price for 3.5 was great. Just over a week of ownership, I needed to use the windshield washer and when I hit it, the electrical system died, killing the engine. A immedate release of the windshield washer resulted in a immedate restart, but in a lower gear requiring me to pull off the road. In heavy traffic and at high speed this event could have been a significant risk to us and those that might had been behind us. Dealer has ordered parts yet concerned that circuit board damage was result vs cause. Time will tell.

  Oh what a ride - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By Dale - November 24 - 4:22 pm

  What at great car love the interior and exterior. Handles like a dream great responce love to drive again. Mileage for me is about 18 to 20 wife ranges 20 to 22 dont know why. Not bad for a hemi though. Acceleration is there when you need it the faster you go the nicer the ride.

  Better than Old Lexus - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By THOMAS BEECHUM - November 9 - 1:32 am

  I love my new SRT 8! I have been an owner of a Lexus GS and an Infinity 4.5. They both are Yugos compared to this. I love the power and fit and finish is great!. Any stoplight drag race is mine from now on. I dont think Ill ever go back to imports

  Nice Wheels - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By Car Guy - October 4 - 6:56 am

  This is one great car. Extremely comfortable, powerful, fast (I see too many speeding tickets in my future), and it handles great as well. Excellent ride quality and responsive, if somewhat numb steering. Averaging over 20 MPG in mixed driving - and thats during the first 1,000 miles. Upgraded Boston Acoustics stereo is worth the money - makes the car a rolling sound studio. Exceptional build quality for an American car. I personally see no downside to the car, except possibly the gas mileage - but what do you expect from a 5.7L V-8?

  Beauty is a beast - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By Jon Film - February 11 - 2:08 am

  Bold styling I like, smooth ride, fits lots of stuff in trunk, decent acceleration. Lack of visibility because of high back dash and short windows. Planning on selling/ tradingbecause of this(after two fender benders). Reliability has been excellent at 89000 mi.
