Best car that I ever owned. - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Tommy White - September 11 - 2:26 amMy wife fell in love with the Chrysler 300 from the first time she saw one. After doing research on the vehicle for several months, we purchased the 300C-- 5.7 liter with Hemi. It is a fun car to drive, handles great, and is more fuel efficient than I expected for a car with the roominess and engine size.

Chrysler 300 Limited - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Eldon McCrary - August 31 - 5:10 pmI purchased a Cool Vanila, that attracts attention and returns favorable comments. I chose the 3.5L engine. It does a good job but I would not want the smaller engine.

300C in Retrospect - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Richard - August 27 - 9:13 pmThis is the 2d 300. They both wear out the left front tire on the outside. That means the caster camber if off from assembly. The breaks pulsate at 20K miles. That means improper cooling. The deck lid has no handle to lift it up with. If your car is dirty, your hand gets dirty too. That is not practical. The horn needs to be more sensitive. The rear compartment air vents dont deliver what they should for the price. I was supprised that the chrome wheels were made of plastic along with the mirrors -- for the price they should have been the real thing.

Does it All - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Norm Couturier - August 24 - 7:36 am425hp - lots of mid-range torque, tight-shifting 5-speed auto-stick transmission, posi-trac RWD, 1st-class exterior styling (mine is all black), best brakes Ive ever felt (Brembo), smooth and quiet at speed, yet surprising nimble and accurate for a 4,000-lb car. Reasonably sticky 20" Goodyear F1 Supercar radials do a nice job (but wont last very long). Chrysler did a fabulous job of cramming classy styling, a great chassis and good old-fashioned musclecar power (without the bad side effects) into a reasonably priced sedan (considering what youre getting).

Great American Cars - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Warj - August 9 - 3:40 amCar has great acceleration. Suspension is a little stiff, but rides OK. Doors make easy egress. Great style. Rear quarter panels seem a little flimsy. May want stiffen up on next version.

300C - Wow! - 2006 Chrysler 300
By David - August 4 - 11:06 amI test cars for a living - and this machine is terrific. Its ride is every bit as good as a Lexus and if you decide to push the pedal, youd better have the head restraint adjusted up! The transmission is seamless, the interior controls are easy to use under any condition (I think they could have done a better job with the crusie control). Seats adjust great and a very comfortable on long drives. AND - its definitely a head turner.

A Mercedes in Chrysler Clothing - 2006 Chrysler 300
By CoolRunning - July 29 - 8:20 amAfter driving a 500/600/700 series Mercedes, I had to try out the new Chrysler 300C. It is the best kept secret in the industry! Why spend 80K on a Mercedes when you spend about 35K on a fully loaded Chrysler that has a Mercedes transmission, chassis and suspension and one of the best engines in the world, the 5.7 Hemi MDS V-8?

Love 300C - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Randy Brown - July 26 - 2:49 pmThe car has been absolutely flawless. Awesome power and very fun to drive. I have installed Chrysler cold air kit on Hemi and I am putting a cat-back exhaust system on it. On trips car always gets 24.5 mpg even at 75 to 80 mph. Chrysler did good, no, great
