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.

    Car is very well designed and built. Eliminated road noise of previous 300M. Softer ride than 300M. Has looks and feel of lux car without the price.

  • Finnaly a great american car in AWD - 2005 Chrysler 300

    AWD is amazing, i tested both the rwd and awd, the awd is amazing on michigan roads and even helped when pulling out after snowstorm that michigan took. Amazing car and i am getting the tires replaced(not the rims) to 245x55x18 size. Better traction than the continetal and wider tread means more rubber on the ground. The visibility when looking out cant see the traffic light. But who cares when pushing the gas on the green is smooth. I use the auto-stick alot amazing power and tire streaks on the road.(HEHE). The interior is well done and no complains.

  • Good but The M was a better car - 2005 Chrysler 300

    Why is everybody so in love with the rear wheel drive on this car?? The FWD 2004 300M handles better and has more punch with the 3.5L (guessing there is power loss thru the longer drive line and transmission). The 5.7 hemi scares me given that it had to be made into a multi-displacement (cylinders cut in/out per computer) engine to achieve EPA MPG requirements in a passenger car. To equip equivalent to the 300M, you have to go all the way to the C model for $36K and you end up with the hemi automatically. Looks cool but think the M is/was much more car for the money! Buy a used M while you still can for 19K, wait them to prove the hemis performance

  • Chrysler 300 Touring Delivers - 2005 Chrysler 300

    I just drove my new 300 Touring from FL to NC and back. It was a great test of a very comfortable road car. I was doing "above" the speed limit and got 23 mpg. Everywhere (I mean EVERYWHERE) I stopped, somebody would comment on what a beautiful car it is. Some wanted to know all about it in detail! I bought the Satin Jade, and it really is gorgeous. I traded in my 99 300 M for this car, and theres no comparison. That was a very nicely built, sporty little car. This is a big floating long distance car. Absolutley no fatigue after 725 miles and 11 straight hours on I-95!

  • GREAT CAR - 2005 Chrysler 300

    Chrysler has finally hit the top with the new 300C. It looks great, its comfortable, its quiet, and its got enough power to blow by all those civic drivers. The MDS system on the hemi is flawless. There is no way to tell whether or not the car is running on 4 or 6 cylinders. Best off all, if you turn off the traction control and punch it, be ready for some fish tailing. I have absolutely no complaints about this car!

  • My Dream of a well rounded Vehicle!! - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    Before I left for Iraq, I totaled my car of seven year. I guess it was a blessing because when I first laid eyes on this care, it was my future in the distance. The power and design is what I was looking for in a car. The prestige and grace of the design is memorable of cars from the days of old. This car will last me for the rest of my days!!!

    Great car buy it and enjoy. Lots of features can be programed into the car. side mirrors drop upon placing in revearse. seat and steering column "open" when you shut off the car. Smart back-up features help avoid accidents!!! FAST in low gears anbd seamlessly drops from 8 cylinders down to 4 cylinders to save gas on the hwy. Also, transmission is the same as the "E-series". Buy it now before the prices rise!!!!!
