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.

  • I just love this car! - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    And to think I almost bought a Lexus! The price for luxury, performance and looks is beyond excellent! Definite head turner too! This will definitely be a money make for Chrysler. For under $42K you can have it all! Im so glad I made the choice I did. As long as the reliabilty stays good, my opinion wont change. About time an American car can be at the top!

    I bought this car last year. i got one of the first ones. Well it has been nothing but touble. The car is stalling at all speeds and engine light comes on and off. There is a problem with these cars and Chrysler is trying to keep it under wraps because it was named car of the year and is selling well. If anyone else is having engine problems and stalling post it on this site.

  • Styled like my 1950 Merc - 2005 Chrysler 300

    Although told it looked like a Bentley, I thought it looked like the 1950 Mercury, I had as a teen. It even has RR drive. Has vision problems that you have to be aware of. Its a real eye catcher. After 2 years, am still pleased with it.

  • Great Car but.... - 2005 Chrysler 300

    I love my 300 but I am really having problems with being able to use the mirrors and to do head checks before changing lanes. I am 57" and I have been driving many years and this is the first vehicle where this has been an issue. I am used to an SUV but still I dont think I should have this much trouble. I have the seat up but the top of the doors are still to the top of my shoulder. I am trying to get used to all of the blind spots that this is creating for me. I dont want to have to sit on a pillow! Otherwise, I love my 300. I am getting some additional exercise too as I am not parking it next to anybody...

    The Chrysler 300 is a fun car to drive and has the appearance of a much more expensive automobile. I have had problems with the window motors in three of the doors (windows would not go down). All three window motors had to be replaced. I have also had problems with the child locks on both rear doors (when child lock is off adult passengers cannot open rear doors, so I have to get out and open doors from outside of the vehicle). I have had this problem checked, but it continues to reoccur. I have also had to have both sun visor clips replaced. They broke off a few weeks after purchase. Both of my fog lamps, for some reason cracked. I dont think rocks caused the cracks.

  • Sensible sedan - 2005 Chrysler 300

    For the money there isnt another car that can hold a candle to this Chrysler 300. Now with 30,000 miles on it, we are just as pleased with it as when it was new. Dealer service here in a small town is a little less than I would like but they have backed the warranty completely on various small items. The most negative feature I can think of is the paint. We have the black and it seems to be very brittle, allowing rocks to readily chip the front end.

  • Excellent Car - 2005 Chrysler 300

    This car has been one of the greatest cars I have ever purchased. You cannot beat the comfort you experience on the Road. This car handles like a dream on the road. It has good gas mileage whether you are on the road of just doing average city driving. For the price I would recommend this to anyone looking for the elegant look, but affordable. We own a cadillac Eldorado and I prefer this car over that one any day. I am tall and it gives me the leg room I need for comfort, along with the fact that three adults can seat in the rear with total comfort.

  • 3 sets of tires - 2005 Chrysler 300

    This is a great car and my second 300. My first was a 300M bought new in 1999 and that was a fun car, but the 300C is by far the best car I have ever owned. If Chrysler keeps this up I will buy another one. The 300C SRT8 is the next one on my list.

  • Awesome Vehicle - 2005 Chrysler 300

    This is the best car to come into production since the original Mustang back in the 60s. Fun to drive and handles well. I would have paid even more for this car as I had to have it.
