Chrysler 300C Spontaneous Engine Failure - 2006 Chrysler 300
By KHerron - May 20 - 1:08 pmI was very satisfied with the overall performance and reliability of my Chrysler until the early afternoon on May 9th when the Engine decided that the parking lot of Osh Hardware Store was the place where it would decide to rest forever. I drove to the store fine and when I came out the car failed to start. I had it towed to the nearest dealership where the mechanic confirmed that that engine is completely gone. The pistons have holes in them and the valves are in pieces, it will cost $8,100.00 for a new engine. I informed Chrysler LLC about the issue and after confirming that the problem was not my fault they only offered to pay for HALF leaving me with a $4,000.00 bill

I Dont Love It - 2006 Chrysler 300
By shehawken - February 27 - 9:43 pm10-15,000 miles in since I bought it at 40K. Im coming off of a 9 year relationship with a 98 Bonneville so Im a little biased but this is NOT the best automobile Ive ever owned. The ride is all right, the fuel mileage is abysmal, it gets pushed around like a minivan in cross winds and the build quality is a little suspect (the brakes were completely replaced by the time I bought it at 40K, as was the climate control module. And recently 2 quarts of oil just disappeared from the engine).Its a little hard to see traffic lights (Im tall) but I still just like to walk out and look at it. The styling is just fantastic. Ill take pictures because it might be the last Chrysler I ever own.

Luxury, Performance, Coolness, & Quality - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Speedle - February 21 - 11:00 pmWe have put over 39,000 miles on our 300C in the past 4 years. No problems at all. The Hemi makes it fun to drive and the hi tech goodies are easy to use. The Boston Sound System is absolutely the best car radio I have heard. Talk about value for your dollar. I usually trade cars every 3 or 4 years, but I cant come up with a good reason to trade this one.

Cost alot to own one - 2006 Chrysler 300
By curt - February 1 - 12:25 pmThis car costs alot to own and maintain. At 40,000 miles new tie rod ends, then again at 90,000 miles. new lateral arms, right rear axle seal leak, transmission leak, power steering leak, and several front end alignments. I was going to give this car to my Son to drive, but I wouldnt be doing him any favors there. If you have alot of money to spend keeping this car on the road, this is the one for you.

American Pride is Back! - 2006 Chrysler 300
By R Bowman - December 24 - 6:23 pmI love the fact that the 300 SRT8 is a classy looking car that I can use for business, yet doubles as my dream weekend car. The performance and handling is nothing short of astounding for the price. For an everyday vehicle, it doesnt get any better than this.

One of the best - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Jerry - December 14 - 12:53 amLooked at it on Friday, test drove it on Satruday, bought it on Sunday......... Im a big man and this car with its telecoping wheel, variable pedals, and power seat, gives all the room I need for comfort and access to all the controls........ The fit and finish is one of the best for a NA built car.....I would like this car more if I could have gotten the hemi, but price and insurnce was was factor. All in all, one of the best I have owned and driven. I gave up a great Ford Crown Vic to drive one of the best! And the styling sure makes a statement!

By rich300 - December 9 - 6:16 pmIts the car of my dreams, I have been waiting to get one since 1999 when they 1st come out and I finally got the opprotunity to get one! The car handles like a dream on the on the highway it is outstanding. Everywhere that we go people stop and ask us where did we get the car from. My husband and I will more than likely purchase another one in the very near future. Thanks for making a wonderfull car! The Thomas

It lives up to the hype - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Brad Lannier - December 9 - 5:46 pmWe looked at the Touring and the 300C, and the C was a no-brainer. The upgrades offered vs. the minuscule price difference made the decision easy. This car is very well appointed, although Id like the metallic stereo console to match the tortoise shell steering wheel. Also, the drivers seat seems a bit stiff. Maybe itll relax a little after some miles are put on it. The fuel economy is surprisingly high - overall avg. of 18.1 mpg in the dead of Winter, and most of that would be considered city driving. A lot of county roads with stop lights everywhere. The car gets commented on every time I get out of or into it. I love it. Too bad its my wifes car. I only drive it on weekends.
