Love it - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Mark - November 27 - 3:50 amHoped it would get a little better gas mileage (averaging 19 city 23 highway), but that is only thing Ive found that isnt a ten. Brings me back to the old days of big Detroit Iron that feels good to drive. That and the constant compliments make this the best car Ive purchased in two decades.

Great Car - 2006 Chrysler 300
By BJ - November 20 - 5:16 amDriven this car 2000 miles. No problems whatsoever. Its fun to drive and gets looks and questions. A solid feeling and a smooth ride. I am happy it has cruise control because you would have trouble keeping at the speed limit without it.

Nice car, needs a few refinements. - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Rob - November 17 - 8:30 pmFinally, got my 300C. Excluding back seat DVD and Sirius (n/a in Canada), it is fully loaded. Its been fun 3 days. Plenty of power. Effortlessly accelerating and passing other cars. Quiet. I owned 2 300Ms and moved to 300C thanks to Chryslers pull forward program or it would be another 6 months in 300M. I also shopped BMW 5 series, but did not want to pay extra and wait another 6 month in the old car. Attractive design, but car feels a little bit bulky in the front (especially when cornering) as I can see hoods corners. I had no problems with visibility, but it takes a bit to get used to boxy design when parking. Shows 14l/100km mostly highway driving. Hoped for less, but no complaints.

Cloth seats - 2006 Chrysler 300
By A, Beaverhausen - October 26 - 7:30 pmThis is a TRUE 1970s car. Wish the car came in cloth seats like the Cordova

Great machine - 2006 Chrysler 300
By J. Klugman - October 25 - 6:23 amChrysler has done it. A baby suv, oops a awd for the northeast. Snow up to your eyeballs and this baby wants to play! Great traction as well as stability. Must be carefull not to kill myself or anybody else. I have only felt the abs once this winter.

Bad Transmission - 2006 Chrysler 300
By scropionmanager - October 18 - 12:44 pmI am was very excited about my 300 but that excitement has diminished. My car has been to the dealership 5 times since July, the first four times was because of fuel problems and I was told to but a higher octane gas, still had problems until the 4th time when I had to have the throttle body decarbonized because of the poor advice from the 1st visit. Now the transmission needs to be replaced because it was low on transmission fluid for too long. Note you can not check check the fluid the dealership has to this. My question is why wasnt this check the 1st four times I went in. The warranty is gone and now I need to spend $2900 in addition to the $700 already spent in a 2 yr old car.

In love! 300 touring rwd ltd pkg - 2006 Chrysler 300
By 300 MANIAC - October 4 - 9:34 pmBest automobile I have ever owned! Had showroom new cars before, but this one is what Ive been looking for all these years. Awesome styling inside and out. Room galore, great gauges, too many pluses to tell here. I dont want to put too many miles on the silver lady, but I cannot wait to get in and enjoy the experience! 3.5 L, 5 speed auto stick German tranny, loves to keep pulling on out to jail time speeds in city driving without even trying. Turns on a dime. Only car I ever wanted to keep til Im dead and Im a younger boomer. Pulled in to a major fast food rest stop on I-75, a guy comes up to me, says "I thought for sure there was a Bentley pulling in, beautiful car". 1 more look at bedtime-in love!

All about power! - 2006 Chrysler 300
By dan - September 27 - 2:43 amThe SRT 8 is one wild ride....loads of power and torque. Not for everyone but if you like raw power, you will love one of these Mopar SRT 8s.

great - 2006 Chrysler 300
By donnie - September 21 - 1:03 pmi love the car. the only thing i dont like is the wear on the tires and rims along with the alignment issues. it also gets very poor gas mileage, not to mention the upkeep on the car is insane ($).
