This Year's Model Updates:

The 2005 Chrysler 300 is an all-new, rear-wheel-drive flagship sedan; it replaces the Concorde and 300M. In a clear move away from the cab-forward design theme Chrysler championed in the 1990s, the 300 represents the company's bold new direction and makes use of plenty of Mercedes-Benz technology. Available features include Chrysler's Hemi V8, stability control, side curtain airbags and, later in the year, all-wheel drive.

Pros:
  • Chiseled and masculine good looks, powerful V8 in 300C model, long list of safety features, plenty of luxury and performance for the price paid.
Cons:
  • Sluggish acceleration with base V6, limited transmission choices, complex stereo controls.

  • I am Much Impressed - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    Just bought a 2005 Limited with 32K and I have recently put on 1K in 2 weeks! I am extremely satisfied and impressed with this car. Unique look and Mercedes Benz handling for very little money. Not one squeak or rattle and very smooth ride. I know others have complained about the Continental tires, but they do supply tenacious grip in the corners. Chrysler got it right the first time!

  • Electrical Problems - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    Really enjoyed this vehicle, but lots of electrical problems. Power windows keep failing and digital read out mysteriously converted to German. MPG is average. If you dont keep the vehicle tuned up, it is atrocious. Excellent hwy car, poor in the city due to handling. Not in the class of Audi A4 or BMW 325.

    This car puts the fun into driving again... Its design sets it apart from anything on the road or parking lot.. Numerous compliments from Cadillac and BMW friends..Good package at a REASONABLE price in the signature series....

  • 300C exterior is prefect but interior... - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    I love the 300C from the first day I set my eyes on it. Ive had no problems with the car thus far. The exterior is amazing with a retro chop top look. And one of the few cars that can hold 22 inch wheels. The interior on the other hand could be much better. Hopefully the feature models will get a interior upgrade with less plastics.

  • THE Car to own! - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    Outstanding car. No complaints, just wishes for MORE! More engine noise, more off-the-line jolt, and more cool stuff integrated into the console (dont skip an electronic feature - theyre all cool!) No way I could handle more attention, though - this is not a car for the shy type!

  • Whats with the ride height? - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    Well built car, solid, quiet, smooth ride; however the RWD does have a better ride. Great interior, with all the right features, and excellent ergonomics. Still have not understood the reason behind the exaggrated ride height, its not necessary, as Audi, Mercedes, and BMW do not increase the static height of the car to add AWD. Also, the loss of chrome wheels on a more expensive version of the Hemi C. Even with the proverbial egg on the gas pedal, the mileage is extremely low (14.8 combined); hoping for improvement as the engine continues to break in.

  • Still love my Chrysler 300 Touring - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    I have owned my car for four years, it has given me dependable pleasure, comfort-style-and the dealership has been great to keep my car in top condition. I have no problems in the winter, my car always starts under the coldest of conditions, in snow if you go slow as conditions require you will be able to drive on most surfaces and hills. I have had the following parts replaced under warranty since purchase: Motors for front seat and car door windows. Extra battery in trunk replaced. Most recent part replaced, is a compressor went completely out, the dealership covered the cost leaving me with labor only. I have low miles considering I am the only driver of my car.

  • The Best Car I Ever Owned - 2005 Chrysler 300

    The Chrysler 300C and its sister, the Dodge Magnum, are the best products to come out of Detroit in nearly 30 years.
