Overview & Reviews
Significant changes are in store for the 2008 Chrysler 300. An updated interior includes new soft-touch surfaces, revised instrument panel and console designs, and available LED accent lighting. New luxury-oriented options include adaptive cruise control, a surround-sound audio system, a dedicated iPod interface, Sirius Backseat TV for the rear entertainment system and a new hard-drive based MyGIG multimedia system with optional navigation. Safety has been enhanced with new front seat-mounted side airbags added to the 300's available side curtain airbag system.

- Muscular V8 power, distinctive styling, available all-wheel drive, long-wheelbase model, lots of luxury and performance for the price.
- Lackluster V6 acceleration, mediocre trunk space, poor visibility for shorter drivers.

2008 300C Heritage Edition - 2008 Chrysler 300
By SchatzieII - April 17 - 2:31 pm55 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 amFirst, 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).

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

Pleasantly Surprised - 2008 Chrysler 300
By Peter R - March 14 - 9:57 pmI 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 amSo 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 pmI 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 pmJust 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.

Oh what a ride - 2008 Chrysler 300
By Dale - November 24 - 4:22 pmWhat 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 amI 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 amThis 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?
