  Awesome!! - 2012 Chrysler 300
  By eveninggus - August 6 - 10:28 pm

  Just sold my Lexus LS for this car. My cars before that were Infiniti M35, Lexus GS430, BMW 540 sport. This car is better than them all. Harmon Kardon Sound blows away all of the rest. The balance of ride, handling and comfort is superior. The 5.7 liter Hemi has better performance that all of them. Only the 540 comes close, but still not as good. What a value, with a car like this on the market for 45,000 why would anyone spend 40 grand more for a LS460 or BMW 550?

  All I can say is wow!!!! - 2012 Chrysler 300
  By harvismith - July 20 - 11:19 pm

  I was in the market for an Infinity M37. But after reading the negative reviews on the transmission i decided to give our good ol American Chrysler a try, and boy........I was blown away. You really never appreciate a good car till you own one. Ever since i got the car, ive been looking for an excuse to drive to somewhere.... anywhere. To feel the growl of that V8 engine. The interior is classy and spacious. The navigation is the easiest ive seen in a vehicle. Bottom line is that this is one of the best cars for the money out there. Im totally content with my buy. If youre looking for a large sedan, give the 300 a try. You wouldnt regret you did.

  Really Impressed - 2012 Chrysler 300
  By alotofcars - July 3 - 9:46 am

  I am 70 and have now bought 106 cars. I just traded a 2011 Subaru WRX for this 300. I have had Lexus, Mecedez-Benz, Cadillac, just about everything. This is the most impressive car I have ever owned. I live in Austin, TX drive to Houston and work all week and go home every weekend. I have averaged 32.5 mpg total for 2000 miles, in and out of town and It will really go if you need it. I swore I would never buy a Chrysler product again 20 years ago. What a car! No wonder their sales are up 200%. Quieter, faster, more comfortable, better mpg than last 2 Lexus.

  A Benz By Day An Audi At Night - 2012 Chrysler 300
  By 3004me - June 28 - 9:08 am

  First, Id like to disclose three points. 1. This is the first car Ive owned manufactured by one of Americas Big 3. 2. Ive never owned a car that didnt have a clutch, and this was a real hurdle concerning the "fun-to-drive" factor. 3. I loved the interior of my last vehicle, an Audi A6. I was surrounded by real leather and wood, not the disgusting plastic so prevalent in todays cars. My 300 Luxury Series (Pentastar V6 mated with the ZF 8-speed) truly lives up to its name. Both the engine and the interior won Top Ten honors by Wards Auto this year. Its absolutely gorgeous inside and out. The Mochachino leather exceeds my expectations. This is North American luxury at its best!

  One of the best - 2012 Chrysler 300
  By - June 15 - 12:58 pm

  This is one of the best cars that I have ever driven. Over the last 3,000 miles I have averaged between 24 mpg around home and 30+mpg on the highway. That more than compares to the 2008 4 cyl. Altima that I traded for this car and the luxury in the 300 is beyond compare.

  By wchopp - June 6 - 2:33 pm

  I have owned over 50 vehicles in my lifetime and this is one of the best cars I have owned. Just came off a 1600 mile trip with alot of 2 lane roads and some freeway driving. Averaged 33 MPG on the complete trip. Have approx 4200 miles on the car. The ride is excellent and quite for this old senior. Lots of room and I have been a GM guy all my life. Would recommend this car to anyone. Lots of power, lots of comfort and lots of gagets. I love this car!

  Chrysler is back! - 2012 Chrysler 300
  By trikev19 - May 22 - 5:07 pm

  After buying Hondas and Toyotas for years, I bought a Chrysler 300. I read great things about the Penstar V6 and the 8 speed transmission and attention to detail. The car is the nicest car I have ever owned. I average 31 MPG at 75MPH on the highway and the V6 has muscle car like punch and sound. Im not one to write a review, but this vehicle has me passionate about cars again!

  Converted GM Guy - 2012 Chrysler 300
  By iluvcars62 - May 20 - 1:26 pm

  I am happy with decision to purchase the 300. I have owned GM products since I was 16. If this car has the longevity I think it will, I will be a loyal Chrysler owner. Im 50 & 64" tall and 300 lbs Im not a small man so my choices in a new car are limited. I have been driving SUVs for the last 20 years and wanted a car this time for better fuel economy. I like the fact its not a young persons car. The 300 is a godsend. I own a 06 Lucerne. Its a nice car but the angle of top side of the car reduces shoulder room. The 300 is very forgiving for us larger than normal people not to mention that the seats sit higher and I dont feel like Im crawling out of the vehicle.

  Big American Rear Wheel Drive V8 - 2012 Chrysler 300
  By bcharles1 - May 13 - 9:52 am

  What can I say? the 300C takes us back to old school USA days when cars were big, rear wheel drive, V8 luxury liners - that is exactly what this 300C represents. The ride is incredibly plush yet handles quite well when needed. Great turning radius as well.

  LOVE THIS CAR! - 2012 Chrysler 300
  By tnfreedom - May 8 - 1:31 pm

  This is my 6th Chrysler product in 3 years. I have owned all makes, including Jeeps. This car is by far the best car I have ever owned. MPG is my favorite subject when asked. I have never gotten LESS than 25 mpg city or 32 hwy, BUT I USUALLY get 38 Hwy and have even gotten 41.4 hwy! I posted the pic to Chryslers FBook site. This car is amazing in comfort, style, ride and value. I bought the base with the 8 spd and the 8.4 touchscreen. I wouldnt change a thing. I drive over 400 miles weekly for work and I have almost 5000 miles on the car. Trouble free and nothing but stares and compliments, Several people have asked me if it is an Audi a8. Hands down the best investment I have made.
