  • 2006 300-C - 2006 Chrysler 300
    By -

    Exceptionally unique styling. Overall quality is suberb. Having driven Lincolns for the past couple decades, I never imagined myself in a Chrysler. But nearly everything about this car (in the C model) is exceptional, and in a class with its parent Dailmer products. There are more electronic/power options on this car than you can shake a stick at, so I recommend a long term bumper-2-bumper 5007+ warranty if you buy the car, for peace of mind. Probably the nicest new car I have purchased ever.

  • Tranny Problems x4 - 2006 Chrysler 300
    By -

    Since owning my 2006 300C AWD, I have had it to the dealers 4 times for a shifting problem with the tranny. I can be driving along and with no warning whatsoever, the car acts as if it was put into neutral, engine is running strong, but it wont go anywhere. The dealer(s) (and Tech Support) seem to be having difficulties finding the problem. Im afraid to take long drives, just in case it happens again. This makes the car not dependable or reliable at all ! Too bad because I really like it otherwise.

  • You Gotta Have This Car - 2006 Chrysler 300

    I purchased a 2006 300C SRT8 from Carmax and am VERY pleased. The SRT8 has great luxury features (I compare to my Lincoln Town Car) and has superior features to the other 300s. The handling is superb, brakes are unreal, and the 6.1 hemi is the ultimate. An American muscle car V8 to the max. It has incredible throttle response, awe-inspiring power, and a delicious muscle car sound. Sedate and well mannered, it nevertheless will pull like a freight train heading into a black hole when you put your foot in it. Downsides? Compared to my Town Car, its noisy. Gas mileage aint in the stratosphere. Plusses? It sticks to the road like glue, has every luxury feature known to man, & HEMI!

  • Best decision we could have made! - 2006 Chrysler 300
    By -

    We already own an F250 and an Excursion, both 7.4L diesels. The 300C was the only model car that we both said wed ever be interested in owning. It has style+ unlike all the other generic bubble shaped cars out there. It has a wide body that doent narrow out in the headroom area, leads to a very roomy interior. Rides great and the handling is unbelievably smooth. The Hemi will knock you back into the headrest when you put your foot into it! Great on long roadtrips too! Fuel economy isnt that great. But hey its a big V8. Want fuel economy buy a Hybrid, but wont be near as comfortable or stylish.

  • I have owned many cars, but - 2006 Chrysler 300
    By -

    Overall, I have to say my 300C dollar for dollar is one of the most fun to drive value. And I have achieved over 26 mpg on the highway cruising at 70+ miles per hour. Spacious with power to spare - and it still gets compliments everywhere I go. The only drawback is interior could have been done a little better. When I my lease is up Ill probably buy this or get a new one!!!

  • love it - 2006 Chrysler 300

    I love this car, also its a great looking car, went on vacation with it this summer and it was very comfortable, and reliable. only complaint would be the tires, sort of noisely on the highway. but over all its great.

  • Nice! - 2006 Chrysler 300
    By -

    Overall a fantastic touring vehicle with all the amenities one could ask for! Very comfortable, safe and also powerful when necessary. I would highly recommend this vehicle for anyone who loves to travel in comfort. If anything, definitely get these 2 options offered..(U-connect, Protection group), these 2 options seemed to make the 300C an effortless luxury. And the MP3 capable CD player was also a huge plus!

    have always driven a cad or a lincoln until 4/05 when we purchased a 300C. in dec.06 we bought an SRT8. we were going to buy another Hemi. a salesman allowed us to drive the SRT8. we were sold at that point. "THE VERY BEST OF ALL THE CARS WE HAVE EVER OWNED.

  • MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300SRT8 - 2006 Chrysler 300
    By -

    This is an absolutely superb automobile: built with the highest quality and like a tank. Its power and torque are also fantastic, the design is magnificent. It has every luxury feature imaginable and more so: too long to list. Having carefully researched it is the best four door sedan on the American Market. It eats BMWS 3 and 5 series for breakfast. Even the vaunted M5 doesnt have its 420 lbft of torque. Yes there if often a hefty premium but its worth it!

  • love, love, love it - 2006 Chrysler 300

    I went from driving a Jeep Wrangler to driving my Chrylser 300. I did love my Jeep but due to back problems I had to give it up. We made the choice for the Chrysler 300, Warm Vanilla, boy do we turn alot of heads. It is so comfortable and fun to drive. We do drive alot, for business and pleasure. I have not used the CD player at all because we have Sirius radio and I love that too. I could of not made a better decesion in buying this vehicle.
