    Vehicle has been a pleasure to drive, unlike any Chrysler before. Performance is excellent, only bad item is gas mileage around town.

    Fun to drive, but in the month Ive owned its been in for service twice. Brakes made horrible noise, took it in and was told there was a service notice re the brakes. Pads were replaced under warranty. One week later, same problem. Took the car in again and was told that chrysler wouldnt do anything about the problem and Id have to live with it. Ashtray has also broken twice. Driver window auto-up has to be fixed. Splash guard under the front spoiler fell off on the highway and Chrysler wouldnt replace under warranty because I didnt stop the car on the interstate and go back to pick up the pieces after they fell off.

  • always in the shop - 2006 Chrysler 300

    love the looks of the car. however, looks can be deceiving. currently it is in the shop for about the tenth time in 20 months. Chrysler had a recall on this model but failed to inform me - only found out by chance when i brought in for oil change. one touch up feature works sporadically but after five trips to dealer it still isnt fixed properly. it is a shame i have to get rid of car for reliability reasons because i love the look of the vehicle. interior features are plain looking and use of rubber-like products are a big mistake because they attract dust and are very difficult to clean.

  • Dont get this car if snow is around - 2006 Chrysler 300

    I upgraded from a Charger (SXT) 3.5L I wanted a hemi and a luxury ride. So I bought this. Worst mistake ever! The engine cut off on me twice, I took it in for transmission work once, and its horrible in snow! Each time it snows Im stuck! Im getting rid of this ASAP!

    Good interstate driver. Like the handling on secondary roads. Good cornering. Car feels balanced but I know that the car is front end heavy. Power when I need it but the nav system will get you lost. Left rear power window quit working.

  • Drive as usual for l00 Miles - 2006 Chrysler 300
    By -

    We have found at least a dozen features about this car that we do not like, 700 words is not enough to tell the entire story, a quick summary is no front seat assist handles, backs of legs rub on side of car when getting out. Daytime glare on dash instruments, buttons that operate radio, navigation etc. are not illuminated at night. Demo ride did not point out that highbeam headlights were obtained by pushing down on the lever not by lifting up the lever as with prior Chrysler cars. The feature that bothered me most however was the lack of comfortable armrests for the driver, I was spoiled by the captains chairs in my van. I was not told about the cost of the puncture proof tires either.

  • hard ride - 2006 Chrysler 300

    New owner and pleased with all features except very hard ride. Not typical of American type suspension. Will not keep 300 Tourist if I cant find a solution.

  • I am Impressed - 2006 Chrysler 300
    By -

    I have had my Chrysler 300C for over 2 years now and I still love it. I test drove the base, touring, and limited models and I was not impressed and was not considering purchasing the car until I drove the C, even though the cost was much higher. It handles extremely well and the power to move when it has to is fantastic, especially on the freeway. The only problem I have had is a problem with the brakes squeaking, which the dealer took care of.

  • no help for ENGINE PROBLEMS - 2006 Chrysler 300
    By -

    i bought my 2006 300 limited new in 2006. everything worked & i was very pleased until i put about 15,000 miles on it,then i noticed a tapping sound in the engine, thought it was timing gear/chain. dealer said not to worry. engine noise slowly continues to get louder. finaly the dealer admits theres a problem... that was almost 3 MONTHS ago,its been sitting there ever since! at first they dint know what the problem was, then they couldnt get parts to replace the lifters, then they had to get updated parts, then it would not start. now its in limbo & nothing is getting done at all. lousy design & service on a $33,000 car!!! i have no idea how this will end but it doesnt look good.

  • Wonderful vehicle! - 2006 Chrysler 300
    By -

    I have driven $70k cars and this one ranks right there with them. Dealership left alot to be desired. Vehicle is as smooth as one could dream of. I am not getting anywhere near the mialage they say I should and I am not pushing this car. I am averaging 16.9 and I drive 50 miles a day on the highway with light city. My concord was 22.5 all day long! Some items seam cheaper then I would have liked. Chrome rims almost feel plastic, definitely do not feel like alloys. I think they are just plated. Does not show instant MPG, always was my fav. feature of the chrysler. Not an option on this one. Visor mirrors are that of a base cavalier. All in all, it is the best car I have ever owned. FAST!!!!
