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.

My lil Bentley - 2005 Chrysler 300
By mybabybentley - May 12 - 6:36 pmI had purchased this car because i love the way it looks. I originally wanted the 300C model but i couldnt risk the MPGs of a V8 with todays gas prices. SO i took the next best thing. I purchased a touring model and about everything about it. But for future reference get the upgraded stereo because the base model stereo sounds low budget and tinny. has the V8 looks but with the V6 power.

19 Months and Still in Love - 2005 Chrysler 300
By SpitShine - May 10 - 7:37 pmI ordered the car because they couldnt keep them on the lot back in the day. It was well worth the wait. I make one or two roundtrips per week from San Diego to L.A. and I always look forward to the drive. Smooth and fast, sleek and responsive. This car is such a dream. Ive had no issues except the AC quit working a couple of time. I stopped the car, restarted, and it came back to life. Dealership had no answers.

Great Car - 2005 Chrysler 300
By touring limited - May 9 - 8:31 pmThis is a great car. Ive never owned a car that has attracted more attention. Its hard to get gas without someone asking me about the car and telling me how great it looks. I even had a man follow me to a motel to ask me how I like the car because he was planning to trade his cadillac in on a 300!

this car rules - 2005 Chrysler 300
By dave-L - May 8 - 11:39 amThe car has met every expectation in the 2 years Ive owned it. Fit and finish have been superb, as well as the performance and mileage. Im getting 18 mpg in town and 26 on the highway with mid-grade gas. The cylinder deactivation system is virtually invisible to the driver. The car has had absolutely no problems (after an initial front end alignment ajustment).

Weak carpeting - 2005 Chrysler 300
By CRYSTAL YOUNG - May 3 - 2:11 pmI am overall happy with the vehicle, except for the fact that I have holes in the floor on the driver side and the carpeting is coming undone! I have contacted Chrysler and the dealership for assistance, but to no avail. The floor up front is weak, as if something was missing from the building process. I would like to know whether or not any other Consumers were having the same if not similar problems. A new car should not have carpeting wear and tear at this stage. I have 60,000 miles on my vehicle now, and it is time for a front end alignment. I make sure that I do my regular maintenance on time. But the carperting is my main complaint.

Complaint - 2005 Chrysler 300
By Kenneth Gines - May 1 - 9:36 pmI have been having a problem with the drive shift of this vehicle. When it is in park, I can press the brake to put in gear, and having a problem with it. Took it to the shop at James Ceranti twice and still having the same problem. Will be taking it back tomorrow May 2, 2006

Best value on the street - 2005 Chrysler 300
By Mark Kuntz - April 30 - 11:00 pmThis car is by far the best value on the road today in the luxury class. It quietly floats down the highway at 85 MPH, get a radar detector, youll need it. Unless you live in Colorado or like area, dont bother getting the AWD. I live in Northern Illinois and have the standard Traction Control and Electronic Stability Program and it is all you need. I was amazed during the first snow storm I drove in. Styling is unique and eye catching, get use to alot of long stares as you drive by other cars. If youre considering a Lexus LS 430, any Lincoln, Infinity M45 or S class Mercedes, do yourself a favor, and test drive the 300C. Youll end up saving $15,000 or more.

Love the Car -Hate the Tires - 2005 Chrysler 300
By Graham Watson - April 24 - 9:18 pmWe love our 2005C Hemi Sedan however on rough roads it rides hard and makes some noise in the rear end of the car. The tires have been rotated twice and are still wearing on edges badly at 18,000 miles- not in love with these Continental tires for ride or wear.

What a great car! - 2005 Chrysler 300
By George F - April 18 - 2:03 amI have had this car for 3 weeks, still less than 1000 miles. Avg. mileage (outer suburban area commuting) is 17.6 mpg. Car is quiet and extremely comfortable. Doors sound like bank vault. I like the back up alarm because you cannot see trunk from inside car. Very smooth, stable and responsive power. Radio (Sound pkg II) sounds great. Seats very comfortable. Styling is beautiful to me. Originally wanted dark color; dealer had Satin Jade Pearl which I am glad I bought. Looks classy and does not show dirt. Still new...no complaints; everyone at work has been impressed. Build quality better than earlier Chryslers; swore off em in the 90s but tried again after 10 years; so far,great!
