chrysler 300c srt8 - 2006 Chrysler 300
By jim rimer - October 25 - 1:00 pmthis is the fastest and quickest car i have ever owned. gas mileage is at 16mpg in every day driving.it does require premium gas. the tire pressure monitors are a real help in maintaining correct air pressure. i would like oil pressure gauge rather than searching thru the menu for it. but this is a keeper.

Fun with Luxury - 2006 Chrysler 300
By All pro - October 21 - 6:30 amThe car is a dream to drive. Little disappointed that the chrome wheel are alloy with Chrome covers. Interior is very roomy, comfortable and clean. the steering wheel blocks some of the dash in driving position. Rear seating tight for passenger knees. Truck size is good but for the size of the car slightly undersized.

SRT8 Value - 2006 Chrysler 300
By str8-voom - October 16 - 4:30 pmI have owned more expensive European and Japanese models, the SRT8 is the best value for dollar paid in terms of performance and build quality. Must driveit at the SRT Experience Trials.

Mopar is Back! - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Docboy209 - September 26 - 9:43 pmAfter reading so much about Mopars old muscle, Ive always wanted to own one of their legends. DaimlerChryslers new SRT lineup, especially my new 300, is destined to be legend. I simply cant believe the performance I get with such a big vehicle! Its a night and day difference between the 5.7L and the 6.1L. Hit the gas, and youre goin 100 MPH Before you know it! And the ride is so smooth at those speeds. My wife screamed when she saw the speedo! Mercedes has taught Chrysler a lot about comfort and styling. Overall its just a great car, even though the gas mileage stinks.

Feels like a sports car! - 2006 Chrysler 300
By HelenS - September 24 - 12:30 amWhen I first saw the car in 2004 I wasnt very impressed. This car grows on you. It is elegant, very zippy and fun to drive. Carrying 4 passengers and a driver on a road trip to Miami was very comfortable with lots of room for luggage - trunk is huge! I optioned mine with a moon roof, luxury interior, Nav system, and protection package. I get lots of complements on it. Only complaint is that the Nav System is about 2 years out of date in some cases and I havent been too successful in getting info on the updates.

300 C - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Rocco - August 16 - 11:00 pmA few things could have been better, But then again, every car has some flaws. I found it vey difficiult to adjust the rear view mirror. I cant grip it good to move it. Bling spots all over. And limited view through the front window, cant see traffic light good, i find myself looking at the walk way lights to determine if the light changed green. But over all , i love it.!!!!!

Love the car!! But has issues - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Jason - August 5 - 2:41 pmIF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BUYING A HEMI 300 READ THIS FULL REVIEW FOR THE TRUTH!! I read online about these cars before I bought mine, I found countless reviews about the 5.7 hemi completely failing at 100k miles, I thought I could avoid this if I was careful, so I went ahead and bought one, and the engine completely failed and needed a full rebuild at 145k, my machanic did it for 6k cash, I have had no trouble with the engine since other than the check engine light poping on and off all the time randomly for no reason (which is common with all 300s) the biggest problem with this car is the front end, all 300s have this problem, and there is no way around it. The entire front end is the most unreliable setup on earth, you can put 1500 into brand new bushings and control arms and a few weeks later it will start makeing noise again, I have owned mine for 5 months or so and my car is currently in the shop for front end repair for the 4th time! No matter what u replace, its only going to fix the noise for a month or so, then you will hear a new noise, every single 300 owner Ive talked to has had the same problem, one of my friends even had it happen a month after he bought his car brand new, its simply part of the life of a 300 owner. The rear suspension is bad too, but not nearly as mutch as the front. I have never had this happen, but a few of my friends have had electrical problems with theirs causing the car to burn out its own battery, or even turn itself off in the middle of the road. I am yet to experience this with mine. The transmission in my 300c AWD has been pretty good to me, have only had one problem with it, I would be driving and pull up to a light and when I try to start again the transmission would rev up to high rpms and I would only crawl forward at about 3 mph, so I had to restart the car in the middle of the intersection and it fixed its self, but then happen again 5 min later, and again and again, I brought it in and it ended up being a 10 dollar sensor, that was in the tranny instead of on top where it usually is on a car, so I had to send it in to a rebuild place which charged $850 for the job, no problems since, the tranny is different for the AWD cars, mine is still running strong at 148k miles, I hear the rwd tranny fails at about 100k miles. The Chrysler 300c hemi AWD ( and rwd) is a mess when it comes to rely ability and maintenance, but when it is running right it is the absolute nicest car I have driven or rode in, I get complements on the car every were I go, it looks fantastic, it sounds mean, it rides amazing, it shifts smooth, and you have endless power under your foot, its like driving a Mercedes with a bad ass American v8, Its mustang gt/camaro z28 speed in a car that is full sized,comfortable and weighs an extra 1000 lbs, plus with the AWD its good in the snow, and actually handles really well, the suspension is firm for a normal car but it feels plush and expensive, the interior is very nice, actually really good quality materials, feels and looks very nice, this car is extremely unique, and there is nothing else on the market like it, I went with my heart and bought one ignoring all the bad reviews, and even though the maintenance is insane, it guzzles gas and has endless problems, Im still glad I did. If u decide to buy one, u can get extra life out of your hemi by changing the oil every 3000 miles, using high octane fuel like 93 (I was using 87 when my engine failed) and investing in an oil catch can, to prevent oil build up inside the engine, which is commonly what cases the HEMIs to eventually fail.

300-C AWD - 2006 Chrysler 300
By I B - August 5 - 10:36 amThe car is terrific. Great handling, comfort and exterior styling. The fuel economy is not good. Chrysler offered no help when I contacted them. The interior should be more exciting for a $40,000 car. Acceleration is fantastic, too bad it drinks so much gas when you put the petal to the metal. The AWD car should have standard 20" wheels, that would make the car look much better. The toys (GPS, Sirius radio, back up warning, up windows automatic, wipers that do not need to turned on etc, etc) are great fun and makes the car more enjoyable. Im anxiously awaiting when DCX decides to put a diesel engine in this car. Until then I keep this one.
