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.

  • Epiphany - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    I pulled up to Budget Car Rental and saw the 300C perched regally on the lawn. I had booked a regular rental but I asked the girl if I could upgrade to that good looking car out front. When I sat in the car I was blown away by the quality for the money. 10 minutes later I was out of the airport grounds and hitting the gas. This thing flys! I cant describe how much fun the next 24 hours were except to say that I was saddened when I had to turn it in. During that time I had no less than 12 stangers come up and comment on what a bad @#^ car this was and what kind of car was it. I was not in the market for a new car but I am going out this week to buy one.

  • Love my bad boy, so far. - 2005 Chrysler 300

    My last two cars were Maximas. They are fabulos cars. But when I first laid eyes on the C coupled with the motor and price, I was sold. Dont think you can buy this much car for the $$$. I dont put that many miles on my car so it will be awhile before I can comment on reliability and build quality. If its anywhere near that of my Nissans, this car will have turned the page on North American automobiles.

  • Just what I expected - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    First off I have loved the car since I first saw it. The style is exactly what I want to see from Detroit. I have experienced the pull to the right problem that many others have had with the first models off the lines. But that is now remedied. Let me also state I have driven over 8k miles in the car, all highway and this is a very minor inconvienience and does not impact my love for the car.

  • bad fuel economy - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    Things I dont like: Fuel is averaging 16.3 miles to-the-gallon; I wish the front grill were more in porporation to the rest of the car; dealership cannt get the front end in alinment. Things I like: Interior is roomy; Except for front grille it has a nice exterior design;

  • Excellent Car - 2005 Chrysler 300

    Was looking at the Jag and had my mind set. Then had 1 look at the 300C and for the 1st time in years, changed my mind. Car has such a classy look and drives like a dream.

  • Performance - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    The performance of this car is incredible. The ride is smooth and handles the road well. The design of the car is beautiful, which pretty much commands attention. We love the car.

  • Fun to drive again - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    Fun to drive. More than enough power. AWD is great. Just drove it through blizzard conditions and 13 inches of snow. No problem. All this for 30,000. What a bargain.

  • AWESOME CAR - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    I went from a 2002 Dodge quad cab to this awesome car and I love it. I never thought I could trade my truck in but when I saw the 300c in deep lava red I just had to have one. then I drove it home! The power and the look of this vehicle is unmatched. I get looks no matter where I am at. The interior is also bigger then one would expect. I fit 3 children comfortably in the back. The only thing I do not like about the car is the headrest on the passenger seat, it is to foward. I dont have to worry about it though because if I am in the vehicle I want to be the one driving it!

  • Baby Bentley - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    After first seeing this Baby Bentley on the road several months ago, I just knew that I would have to get one as well. After a few months of searching via several Chrysler dealerships, I eventually found the specific model and in the color that I wanted...the Touring model in Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl (one of the hardest to locate by the way). Although I had initially wanted a 300C, after the test drive, I decided on the Touring model. I tested the 2.7 liter (basic) 300 model, the 3.5 liter (high output quatrovalve) Touring model, and the 300C with the Hemi. Honestly, I really couldnt justify spending the extra ten grand for the 300C with upgraded amenities that I really didnt need.

  • 1st American car for me in 20 years - 2005 Chrysler 300

    This is a great car that floats on air. Great mileage and pick up is excellent.
