  I love my 300!! - 2012 Chrysler 300
  By 4matthewsfx - August 19 - 1:47 pm

  Bought July of 2012...base model, with Nav system, Uconnect, and upgraded audio...sticker was 32,210...with 8yr Maxcare 120,000 mile warranty, taxes, roadhazard tire, tags, 27k out the door!!! So far pleased. Car is very comfortable. After 22,000 miles, I never reset mpg meter and I am at 28.5 mpg!!! 3.6L w/ 8 spd is awesome, do not regret opting for this over HEMI. With four people on board to Virginia from NJ, car was very comfortable, no suspension sag, handled great, mpg was still at 29 on highway w/ a/c on at 80 mph, power is great. I cannot say enoug about the style and interior! I absolutely love this car!!

  Exceeds All Expectations - 2012 Chrysler 300
  By chrisg75077 - July 20 - 2:04 pm

  Mopar....to those children of the 70s it conjures up the cream of all muscle....then....KABOOM! The whole thing goes to hell. K-cars, Omnis, and the rest of the K-rap. Then....the new 300...and in 2012, the 2nd generation. All I can say is value, beauty, quickness and all wrapped in a luxurious package. Sure...it doesnt get the looks of my Jaguar...but hell it runs every time, so I am impressed. I love this car. Period.

  Compares favoriable to German Luxury - 2012 Chrysler 300
  By dasbmr - March 28 - 4:22 pm

  I really liked the way the 300S looks very refined and strong. So, I went down to the dealership and drove the beast. I actually went down to drive the SRT, but when I learned the S has 300 HP and gets 32 MPG, I couldnt resist. It drives extremely quiet down the road and the extra gear transmission really makes a difference. Got the 20" wheels, which look great to fill out the wheel wells.

  Reminds me of a Bentley - 2012 Chrysler 300
  By unionjack - December 21 - 8:34 pm

  Of all the cars I have owned the 300 is the best. I compare ir to a Bentley, smooth, great ride and in many ways luxurious. The gas mileage is fantastic, during a recent trip to Canada the 300 averaged 31.4, wonderful for such a large vehicle. The power for a 6 cyl is really superior and the handling is smooth wonderfully reliable and consistant...I dont have to think constantly about what it may do.

  My best car yet - 2012 Chrysler 300
  By paco0314 - September 15 - 8:49 am

  I absolutely love this car! In May I took a job in Yuma, Arizona and due to a variety of circumstances I will be commuting weekly between Las Vegas and Yuma for the foreseeable future. Not wanting to beat my Lexus GS450h up on the winding, dipping, bumpy 2 lane 280 mile drive loaded with semi-tractor trailer commerce and lines of traffic, at first I rented. That proved less than satisfactory, so I began looking for a vehicle that was comfortable, good on gas, equipped with spirited engine to pass the big rigs, some convenience features plus a decent sound system and, of course, competitive price. And I was determined to land on made in America.

  Awesome!! - 2012 Chrysler 300
  By eveninggus - August 6 - 10:28 pm

  Just sold my Lexus LS for this car. My cars before that were Infiniti M35, Lexus GS430, BMW 540 sport. This car is better than them all. Harmon Kardon Sound blows away all of the rest. The balance of ride, handling and comfort is superior. The 5.7 liter Hemi has better performance that all of them. Only the 540 comes close, but still not as good. What a value, with a car like this on the market for 45,000 why would anyone spend 40 grand more for a LS460 or BMW 550?

  All I can say is wow!!!! - 2012 Chrysler 300
  By harvismith - July 20 - 11:19 pm

  I was in the market for an Infinity M37. But after reading the negative reviews on the transmission i decided to give our good ol American Chrysler a try, and boy........I was blown away. You really never appreciate a good car till you own one. Ever since i got the car, ive been looking for an excuse to drive to somewhere.... anywhere. To feel the growl of that V8 engine. The interior is classy and spacious. The navigation is the easiest ive seen in a vehicle. Bottom line is that this is one of the best cars for the money out there. Im totally content with my buy. If youre looking for a large sedan, give the 300 a try. You wouldnt regret you did.

  Really Impressed - 2012 Chrysler 300
  By alotofcars - July 3 - 9:46 am

  I am 70 and have now bought 106 cars. I just traded a 2011 Subaru WRX for this 300. I have had Lexus, Mecedez-Benz, Cadillac, just about everything. This is the most impressive car I have ever owned. I live in Austin, TX drive to Houston and work all week and go home every weekend. I have averaged 32.5 mpg total for 2000 miles, in and out of town and It will really go if you need it. I swore I would never buy a Chrysler product again 20 years ago. What a car! No wonder their sales are up 200%. Quieter, faster, more comfortable, better mpg than last 2 Lexus.

  A Benz By Day An Audi At Night - 2012 Chrysler 300
  By 3004me - June 28 - 9:08 am

  First, Id like to disclose three points. 1. This is the first car Ive owned manufactured by one of Americas Big 3. 2. Ive never owned a car that didnt have a clutch, and this was a real hurdle concerning the "fun-to-drive" factor. 3. I loved the interior of my last vehicle, an Audi A6. I was surrounded by real leather and wood, not the disgusting plastic so prevalent in todays cars. My 300 Luxury Series (Pentastar V6 mated with the ZF 8-speed) truly lives up to its name. Both the engine and the interior won Top Ten honors by Wards Auto this year. Its absolutely gorgeous inside and out. The Mochachino leather exceeds my expectations. This is North American luxury at its best!

  One of the best - 2012 Chrysler 300
  By - June 15 - 12:58 pm

  This is one of the best cars that I have ever driven. Over the last 3,000 miles I have averaged between 24 mpg around home and 30+mpg on the highway. That more than compares to the 2008 4 cyl. Altima that I traded for this car and the luxury in the 300 is beyond compare.
