Overview & Reviews

The 2009 Chrysler 300 receives significant updates. The 5.7-liter 300C now features variable valve timing that increases horsepower and torque for better performance. All-wheel-drive models get an innovative new active transfer case that disconnects the front axle for better fuel efficiency and performance. A comfort-tuned suspension debuts for those seeking a softer ride, while driving enthusiasts should appreciate the new Chrysler 300C Heritage that features the same sport-tuned steering and suspension as the Dodge Charger R/T Daytona. The SRT8 gains a new grille, revised suspension tuning and additional standard equipment.

• Muscular V8 power, smart all-wheel-drive system, spacious interior, available long-wheelbase model, lots of luxury and performance for the price.

• Weak base V6, poor visibility for shorter drivers, disappointing side-impact crash results without optional side airbags.

  excellent car - 2009 Chrysler 300
  By Jim - June 27 - 9:46 am

  I traded in my 2007 SRT Design for a 09 300c SRT8 (wish I would have purchased the SRT8 to start with) the 07 was nice but the performance increase with the 6.1 Hemi is amazing. Even at 4000+ pounds this car performs! And the looks, well, I see guys driving Mercedes checking my car out while driving down the road or at stop lights. Anyone looking for a incredibly fun car to drive and one that will get you looks from everyone else, the 300C is the car, go with SRT8 if you can afford it.

  Love it but second week was not good - 2009 Chrysler 300
  By hrisgirl - June 20 - 3:12 pm

  I love this vehicle. Ive got the heritage package with inferno red tintcoat so it is loaded and a real head turner. I also got a fantastic deal. Ive had the car for three weeks and the second week was spent in the shop. The car suddenly stopped excelerating...over 3000 RPMs at less than 20 mph and the engine light came on. A faulty part that regulates the speed caused the car to try to shut down. It was fixed under warranty and I was told this is a one in a million defect (I hope), hence the 9 rating on build quality and reliability instead of 10. I was looking at Cadillac CTS when I came across this car. Value for the money, the 300 beats the CTS.

  Fantastic car great price - 2009 Chrysler 300
  By Stuckond - June 2 - 8:10 am

  Low road noise, GREAT power from the 5.7, and a delicious ride from this sexy looking car. Has all of the power of my 1970 Firebird 400 (With a rebuilt motor), and turns just as many heads. Although I have not quite hit 1,000 miles on the 300C yet, This is without question my favorite car Ive ever owned. Very good turning radius for a big car. At 24 HWY MPG on a brand new car, its not awful. In town at 16.5 could be worse.

  A Dream... - 2009 Chrysler 300
  By Victor - May 1 - 2:07 pm

  Loved it... after a lady crashed in to me at 65mph on the freeway I can say the impact was not little, the car is the safest I have driven and is now out and about after a $17000 repair with original parts. I loved my 300, short after it got stolen... I will buy one again!

  The 1 Reason Chrysler Should Survive! - 2009 Chrysler 300
  By DarthXan - April 26 - 11:16 pm

  Ive loved this car since it first debuted in 2005 & now I finally have 1. Its every bit as exciting as I thought it would be. Amazing power from the 5.7 L HEMI when you need it (cylinders deactivate when cruising, so it runs like a 4 cylinder to save on fuel economy). Excellent interior quality. Awesome sounding stereo. Sexy yet menacing exterior. Quietest & comfiest ride Ive ever been in. Highly reccomended & right now its still on sale. I saved almost $15K on mine!

  Im Back for More. - 2009 Chrysler 300
  By Randy - April 6 - 6:18 pm

  I bought one of the first redsigned 2005 Jade Green 300Cs in March 2004. I thought it was an unbelievable car for the $$s. After 70,000 miles I traded it in for the 2009 300C Clearwater Blue, fully optioned. Its a handful with additional 19hp. Its a phenominal highway car. It has 2,000 miles on it. I just did a trip from Long Island to western Virginia. It averaged 24.1 miles/per gallon over 420 miles. Chrysler tweaked the MDS system so that it runs on 4 cylinders more often, even at 70 miles plus per hour, with a special "ECO" light which tells when MDS is on. The ride is plush and heavy. Made the trip in 5:52 hours averaging 71mph. The seats are so comfortable one can drive forever

  Unbelievable value. - 2009 Chrysler 300
  By The Arb - March 19 - 7:19 pm

  With all the discounts now offered this car is an unblievable bargain. There are many improvements over the 2007 300C which I returned after a 27 month lease. This car I bought, paying 0% financing for 36 months, with nothing down. The beauty of this car, plus the inferno red color I have, is still a head turner, even though the car first appeared in 2005. From 1995 to 2007 I leased a Cadillac STS every 2 years (6 cars). A Chrysler 300C, with options, surpasses Cadillac in every way looks, power, performance, and most all, price. Regarding fuel economy, you cant expect a large heavy V8 to be fuel efficient.

  From 2006 Chrysler 300C to 2009 Limited - 2009 Chrysler 300
  By Ed - November 8 - 10:12 am

  Recently went from an 06 300C to an 09 300 LTD. While leaving the Hemi was disappointing the interior upgrades and overall ride are better. The LTD is missing electronic steering adjust, memmory seats and back up sensors but has better leather, LCD radio, nicer console with plentiful wood trim, soft leather covers on console and doors and other nice touches. The real disapointment is in the smoothness of the 3.5 engine. While I knew the performance would be avaerage, it is not tight and balanced like other notable V6 engines. The 6cyl and Hemi produce equivalent mpg. Overall Im satisfied but would love to drive an 09 Hemi with improved hp. HP is a big part of the luxury and identity.
