Overview & Reviews

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.

• Chiseled and masculine good looks, powerful V8 in 300C model, long list of safety features, plenty of luxury and performance for the price paid.

• Sluggish acceleration with base V6, limited transmission choices, complex stereo controls.

  Wifes Race Car - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By Ron H - April 8 - 1:17 pm

  This may be the wifes car, but I get it on weekends. Mannnn, this baby sure does fly. Although the Hemi can be a gas-eater, you can learn to adjust your driving style to hit 17mpg + in city driving, and 22 + on the freeway (CC @ 92). With CC @ 75, nets about 24.3 mpg. We love the car and its every bit deserving of its Car of the Year Status. We were disappointed with Consumer Reports (Japanese Biased) rating on this vehicle. Im over 6 tall and do not feel claustrophobic inside the spacious cabin. It does seat 5 large adults, comfortably. This vehicle is a modern day warrior which can easily run with the Muscle of the Late 60s and Early 70s, especially when you remove the speed limiter.

  SRT8 300C - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By Mike - April 6 - 9:08 pm

  I love this car. Its by far the fastest car I ever had. It has every option. Everything works fine. The main problem I had is with the front spoiler it was so low that I went over the parking block at the gas station OK but when I backed up it pulled the whole front end off. It cost me $1500.00 to fix it, I then did it again at the bank so I took it off and it fine now.

  Chyrsler Resurgance - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By Comp 1 - March 19 - 9:50 am

  Best car ever owned in my 40 years of car buying.(Well, 67 Vette may have been better for twenties image and social life) Mileage on hemi is 26 highway and 23 highway city combined - this from AWD which controls snow and rain greater. Continental tires were third rate for a first rate car. Chryslers engineers only shame here. If you check consumer ratings figure no more than 20,000 miles.Only disappoint in car. Stereo fantastic - Navi second best I have seen (Acura no.1) Bluetooth functions great for those hands free calls.Maintence free except standard check ups. Worth the $40,000 price compared to comparable cars.

  Canasta Carols 300C - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By Carol ONeil - March 11 - 3:10 pm

  I was not planning on buying this car as my husband had just bought his Silver 300C four months before, but when he called me from the dealer (he was getting his first regular service done on his 300C, he said a Jade Green 300c had just been delivered! I traded in my 1999 Cadillac Concours and truly enjoy the super looks and the handling and power of my 300C. Our daughter bought a CHARGER with the HEMI in Dec. 2005 and she loves her DODGE!

  By John ONeil - March 11 - 2:54 pm

  I was caught up in the cars great looks and comfort and then sold my 2000 300M for the Silver 300C. I have taken several road trips with this vehicle and got anywhere from 24-26 MPG depending on speed, around town it gets 19-21 MPG. I have not had any problems with the car. The great looks of the car still turns peoples heads. I liked it so much, I bought another 300C Jade Green for my wife 4 months after mine. Our daughter just bought a 2006 CHARGER with a HEMI and loves its performance too. Chrysler has truly found a winner here. We actually saw 300Cs while in Russia and Belarus last May 2005 and they turned heads there too!

  Get the Hemi - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By Steve C - March 4 - 8:15 am

  Great total package of speed, handling, room, technology, fuel efficiency and value. Exceptional road touring car. Really like all the options. A lot of Mercedes influence including great drive train, handling, and several key interior components like solid directional tree w/cruise control, audio controls on steering wheel and general interior layout well though-out.

  300 C Hemi - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By Gary Cook - February 23 - 2:39 pm

  Order and purchased my 300C in June of 2004. Car is 19 months old and I have never had to take it back to the dealer for anything. Diamler Chrysler quality assurance is shining. Performance is super and is run to drive. Highway gas mileage is great - I get 27mpg at 60 MPH, and 23 mpg at 75 MPH on a flat straight-away highway. Front seats somewhat narrow for a big man.

  Classic? - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By Richard L. Smith - February 15 - 11:53 pm

  I have been driving for about fifty years...having driven a/o owned everything from British sports cars to Cadillac sedans and everything in between. If you live in a major city, dont do this car a diservice. It is a land yacht, it yearns for the open road. It wants to GO FAST! I honestly feel Chrysler has produced an instant classic...no, I dont work for Chrysler. In a nutshell, rides like a Bentley, handles like a Porsche. Treat yourself, drive the HEMI.

  Poor mans Bentley - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By L. Thomas - February 3 - 12:56 pm

  I love my 300 Limited. I travel continuously and the ride I get from this car awesome. I recently had surgery and the car took the bumps on the road like a charm. This car has been on my list every since it came out. I feel I made an excellent choice in buying this car.
