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 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!

    Very happy with the car great acceleration with the 250 hp and very smooth. Only one minor complaint is that the car seems to bottom out very easily.

  • Get the Hemi - 2005 Chrysler 300

    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.

    Its the car I always wanted as a kid, but could never afford. Now to have one of my own is a blast. I drove it, and immediately bought it. Feels faster than, and just as smooth, as my previous Mercedes 600 S V12. A lot of performance for very little money.

  • 300 C Hemi - 2005 Chrysler 300

    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

    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.

  • Id buy another 330C - 2005 Chrysler 300

    Aside from the fact the Dealer wouldnt offer much of a price break, the car itself is well worth the $38,600 sticker price, infact its a steal! The minor problems Ive had with the car attributed to build quality were; wiper/turn signal stick was defective and the wipers would come on when using turn signals, and the wipers in the auto position. Front end camber was off and caused tire wear on edges of front tires. Transmission plug was lose, and caused a minor fluid leak.

    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.

  • Chrysler 300C Too much fun! - 2005 Chrysler 300

    This car is a class ride. Style, comfort and performance. After driving this car for about 20 minutes, it seemed like Id been driving it for years.
