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.

Love this car - 2005 Chrysler 300
By Randy - June 4 - 6:00 pmFell in love with this car the moment I set eyes on it. This car WILL turn heads. I can live with the reduced visibility as it is about the only complaint that I have. Had to bring it back to the dealer during the first month due to the six disc CD player skiped for no apparent reason. They replaced it and the new one has operated perfectly. I would recomend this car to anyone.

stay away from the 300C rwd model - 2005 Chrysler 300
By bruce weinstein - May 26 - 9:23 pmthe car was great the first 90 days or so...since then, the car has a DRAMATIC pull to the right, what i thought was an alignment problem. Chrysler has had the car in for servicing 3 times already and now tell me that it HAS BEEN a problem for them on the C model and they are "trying" to find a fix to the problem...they expect a "bulletin" from detroit in the near future, whenever that might be...they tell me that because of the 18in tires and the suspension system, it creates a calibration problem...it has been very discouraging that they have had my car for a total of 9 days and i have still the same problem, which they knew they could not fix...no more chryslers for this consumer!!!!!

Great Car! - 2005 Chrysler 300
By Cliff - May 6 - 3:16 amThis car has got to be the best thing since ice cream, from fit to finish...a fine world class automoble, one youed expect from Europes high end market only.I brought mine back in September of this year 2004. My brother owns a 2003 E-320 Mercedes, He picked my 300 up from the dealership for me and declared it had the same exact ride and feel of his E-320! and for $23,995... need I say anymore. There is one thing I would like to point out. In a special issue of Road & Track for the 300s they quoted on page six... "All Chrysler 300 models came with a list of standard features including traction Control" Traction is optional on the base car. I realized this all too late, I felt very misled.

A little scared - 2005 Chrysler 300
By 2muchluv - May 4 - 10:00 amOverall I have to admit the quality and build are much better then I was expecting. However, I have noticed some small details (Imperfections) you would not find in a foreign built automobile (I.E. doors and hood slightly out of line). Just small visual details. There has been some electronic problems that have me more worried. Nav system stopped working and mysteriously came back on after 30 minutes, memory #2 doesnt want to hold its presets, and the power-tilt/telescope steering wheel has been getting louder and louder each day gettin gin/out of the car.

You will be surprized - 2005 Chrysler 300
By Peter Campbell - May 4 - 10:00 amThis is a land rocket, the accelleration comes on so smoothly in the corfortable interior, that you will not know how fast you are going to you look down or in the rear view mirror. The auto stick lets you keep the revs up in the "go zone". The stereo is out of this world. It is a E class with way more power for a lot less money. Get the V8!

Great fun, but some cheapies - 2005 Chrysler 300
By drrad - May 4 - 10:00 amONLY HAD THE HEMI FOR ONE WEEK AND LOVE THE CAR. THE AUTO-MANUAL SHIFT IS A REAL TREAT. A SLEEPER OFF THE LINE OR PASSING. NOT TRASHING THE CAR, BUT WHAT DUMMY WOULD PUT PALE WHITE FLOOR MATS ON THIS OR ANY CAR? THE FIRST DAY THEY WERE SOILED. I THEN ORDERED DARK MATS THAT MATCHED THE INTERIOR TRIM. THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE TAKEN BACK THE OLD/NEW MATS AND TRADED THE NEW/NEW ONES OUT AND NOT NICKEL/DIMED ME FOR THE $65.00. HUGE GRIPE: THE "CHROME-CLAD" ALUMINUM WHEELS. SOUNDS LIKE WE HAVE ALUMINUM WHEELS THAT ARE CHROMED. NOT SO. THESE LOOK GREAT BUT ARE LITERALLY CHROME COLORED PLASTIC COVERINGS OVER ALUMINUM WHEELS--CHEAP!

DaimlerChrysler Has A Definate Winner! - 2005 Chrysler 300
By Junechld - May 4 - 10:00 amI am loving my new 300C. It feels as though almost everything is automatic. And yes,the MDS does work effortlessly to improved gas mileage on the highways. Since Ive purchased my C,I get kidded a lot by co-workers asking me if I want to race. Whereas car racing isnt of any interest to me, however, I do enjoy knowing that I have that extra power to maneuver around someone and also knowing that I could beat those co-workers easily,that kid me about the racing thing on any given day.

Finally a fun American Sedan - 2005 Chrysler 300
By rrtoadhall - April 21 - 2:00 amFor several years I have been driving large British sedans because American car makers had the same boring offerings. It has taken Chrysler to reinvent the American Sedan and bring the public something other than cookie cutter badge engineering. I would highly recomend a test drive for any consumer looking for comfort, room and ergonomics!
