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.

  • Signature Edition is a real bargin - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    This is my second 300 and I an very pleased that most of the problems with my first 300 have been resolved. The Signature edition is a "no brainer" , where else can you get free a GPS.

    Great looking car. Fun to drive with ample power. 3.5L is not as quite and smooth as some Japanese 4 cyl. engines, Lots of standard features. Excellent interior finish. Outside visibility when turning turning left is limited by the big rear view mirror and the wide front left colunm.

  • Chrysler 300 just quits at speed - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    I adored this car from the moment I bought it. Looks cool, comfortable, roomy, handles like a dream. Until 3 months ago. Now, I have a very expensive paperweight on my hands I dont even dare drive. The car loses power at speed, locking out all control, making me a ton rock in the middle of the road. It now sits at the dealership, where they say "their computer cant find a problem." This is the FIFTH time it has been into the shop for the same problem. Chryslers response when I contacted them? Tough luck, lady. Trade up to a new 300. Its paid for, so they arent making any money off it. After many, many years as a loyal Chrysler owner-NEVER AGAIN!! Toyota dealership, here I come!

  • Love it - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    The car replaced a Cadillac Eldorado ETC. Was going to buy the new Cadillac STS until I drove the 300C. What you get for the money makes the 300C an excellent choice. The 400 lbs of torque make the car fun to drive. The back seat has more than ample leg room. The cabin is both comfortable and quiet. People are constantly asking me about the car.

    The best car Ive ever owned. I really enjoy the driving experience and it is pleasing to have so many people stop to take a second look at it. The most frequent comment is "Oh! I really do want one of those. Is it as good as it looks?" I am happy to give them an honest answer when I reply, "No, its even better!".

  • Mercedes at a Chrysler Price - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    Wow! This car has it all and for the price it cant be beat by any of its competitors. Having owned Japanese autos from day one, I was amazed how wonderful this car felt on the road not to mention its unlimited power. The Hemi is smoother and more controlled than any multi-valve, VTEC, or supercharged engine.

    The epitome of elegance for under 40,000

  • Best car I have ever owned - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    I have had over 30 cars, many of them Chryslers, some GMs, many Fords. I have also owned a Mercedes CLK430. This one has them all beat. The fit, finish, stance, is befitting cars twice its price. And it goes like the hemis of old, and I have a few of them. I have a concours 1957 Chrysler 300 C and this is a worthy successor to one of the finest performance cars in history. What I truly love about the car is that it makes me proud to drive a Chrysler again.

  • Con tires - 2005 Chrysler 300

    Chrysler needs to get a different tire , my self sealing tires got only 10k, and they were shot. Continetal tire would do nothing, said thats the life expectancy!!!!!!!!
