very good until fire - 2006 Chrysler 300
By minus200 - November 9 - 7:06 amJan 5 2007 my 300 caught on fire in spite of returning car in Sept for a recall to fix a fire hazard . The fire started in the engine compartment and although I am no expert - the fire started exactly where the fire described in the recall would have been. The SURPRISE was the fire in the trunk. The fire under the hood must have shorted out some wires and caused the battery (in trunk) wires to melt to the point it caught the carpet in the trunk on fire and there was a pretty big fire next to the gas tank. Thats when I discover there was NO WAY to open the trunk - ALL ELECTRICAL was out. Chrysler is a disappointment in handling my problem. Been very happy with the car until this fire

Auto Rating - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Carl Rainey - November 7 - 6:43 amThe car is the most beautiful body style I have seen in years from the Chrysler Motor company. This the only todate that can be given so many styling profiles. I love the car and hope to keep it for many years; and it is the first car that both my wife and I truly love to drive. The car has good braking, and acceleration, however cornering has to be improved. The sound system is great with the addition of Sirus radio. Truck space is adequate.

Enjoyable and Frustrating - 2006 Chrysler 300
By sanman - October 30 - 10:03 amMy experience with the 2006 300c has been enjoyable and frustrating. I find the car fun to drive and comfortable. I get a lot of compliments about the car with the after market grill and chrome pillar posts and I try to keep it clean polished.I think Chrysler did a great job in the design of this vehicle. The frustating part of my ownership experience is that I expected a little more quality for the price, I have 10,000 miles on the car and there is more squeaking and creaking than I had in the 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 54,000 miles on it.

Good Car - beware buying from conglomerate dealers - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Robert Wilkins - October 21 - 4:14 pmFueling - make sure it accepts fuel without spit back. Acceleration and braking - will put a smile on your face Fuel economy - not so much - not expected from a relatively large V8 in a 4,200 lb car. Good handling

Early returns on the C - 2006 Chrysler 300
By IES99 - October 20 - 12:20 pmThe Satin Jade C is 5 months and 7000 miles old now. At this point no issues have occurred with regard to reliability. It has not been back to the dealer. It is comfortable, fun, and quick for such big car. Although these have been around a couple of years now, people still comment on its looks, and so far those comments have all been positive. I look for excuses to drive it still. We took the Sirius, power moonroof, side airbags, adjustable pedals. Mileage has not been bad for the HEMI. So far so good.

Hits & Misses - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Doc - September 25 - 5:23 amOverall, a great, full to drive and true head turner. The Hemi gives the car plenty of get up and go, acceleration is outstanding and responsive. Plenty of interior room, well laid out instrumentation. Seating needs more bolstering, better designed buckets to keep you from sliding, better interior noise dampening to provider a quieter ride and reduce wind and road noises. The vehicle appearance demands attention and gets you notice on the road. Longer seat bottoms are needed for tall driver, or seat extension. Car provides great leg room. I am over 6 feet and this cars allows me to adjust my seat all the way back and still have room to get in the back seat and be comfort. Great car.

Looks good on the outside - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Brittney Scott - August 6 - 6:20 pmThe exterior of the car is the most beautiful on the road today. The interior lacks the luxury that should be included in this car.
