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.

  • One Great Car!! - 2005 Chrysler 300

    This my 24 car in 22 yrs and this HEMI 300C is the greatest automobile I have ever owned or driven. I am basically a Chyrsler person, Had a 300M, loved it but nothing can compare with this one. I would put this automible up against any on the market, bar none! Quiet, FAST, and really draws attention. What I like also is my wife (after 48 yrs) loves this car. Never cared much for the others one way or another. I urge you to test drive one, but warned if you drive it you WILL BUT IT.

  • WOW! What a Car - 2005 Chrysler 300

    I only have about 500 miles on this 300C, but I am really impressed with everything about it. The Hemi engine performs great and seems to get 18 m/g around town and 26.5 m/g on the highway, which is similar to my previous V6 in a 300M. The handling is outstanding. There surely is a big difference driving a rear wheel drive vehicle.

    When asked about our 300 we always tell people " you would have to pry it from our dead hands"... From styling to handling this car is top notch. The v- 6 performs better than most v-6s. The style basically is no different than the v-8. Cheers to all other chrysler 300 owners!!!

    I have owned this car for almost 2 years and Im just approaching 40k miles and over all im impressed with the looks and thats it, mecanicaly I have had nothing but headaches. The transmission slips and steering becomes difficult when its cold (I live in Canada), extremly rough idle and the dealer claims there is nothing wrong, I had to replace all speakers in the car, both rear power window motors twice, brake rotors at 15k and the OEM Goodyear tires stink they wear out fast and I had them replaced at 20k miles for a set of Michelins. This is my 3rd Chrysler and I wont be buying another any time soon and in fact Im trading it for a Honda Accord EX V6 next week.

    YOU FEEL GREAT WITH THIS CAR. FROM CRUSING TO ROCKITING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS CAR WILL TAKE THE MOTO FROM THE COMPETITION. GMCS PROFESSIONAL GRADE, LOOK AT THE 300C. FORDS BUILT FOR THE ROAD AHEAD, LOOK TO THE 300C. THIS IS THE CAR THAT CAN MAKE ANYBODY FIT IN AT THE AUTO SHOW. IF YOURE YOUNG, YOU CAN COMPETE WITH ANY OF THE NEW HOT RODS. IF YOURE OLDER YOU CAN PARK NEXT TO THE MOST EXPENSIVE LUXJURY CAR AND NOT FEEL OUT OF PLACE. THIS CAR IS COOL ENOUGH FOR A SINGLE MAN OUT ON THE TOWN, AND CAN MAKE A MAN MARRIED WITH CHILD FEEL AS IF HES STILL GOT IT. THE DOWN SIDE IS YOUR WIFE OR GIRLFRIEND WILL WANT TO DRIVE TOO. THE FINAL WORDS. HOMERUN CHRYSLER, HOMERUN.

    For me the jury is still out - initially a great car but I am very concerned with Chryslers poor reliability in the past. Although it is a company car and will be returned @ 60K. Forget about it could have come with this or that, if this car has just above average reliability Chrysler has hit a grand slam. Bang for the buck is awesome...

  • Disappointed !!! - 2005 Chrysler 300

    Awesome Car that the dealership and Chrysler rep insists does not have an alignment problem which I consider severe and very annoying. If not for this problem I would love the car with minimal suggestions to improve. It is the first American car that I have owned/leased in over 20 years. Unfortunately, Chrysler has given me no option but to go back to Lexus/BMW

    I just purchased my new 300C today and really cant find anything offensive or undesirable about this car. My fiance and I first saw the car at The Bob Hope Golf Classic in Palm Springs last year and fell in love with it then, so my dream has come true...We did it and Im happy that we took the plunge. Clippinger Chrysler in W. Covina, CA worked with me on the pricing and together we negotiated a deal that was comfortable for everyone concerned. I researched the car for almost a year and know that we did the right thing.
