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.

  • love my 300C - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    I had always driven SUVs. I was a little hesitant about going to a car because my sons are 6. They said they had as much room leg room in the 300C as they did in the Suburban & Tahoe! It is a blast to drive and I dont think i will ever go back to any other vehicle. Im waiting for the new 2006 RTS(?) version to come out and will possible buy that!

    The best car I have ever driven at any proce and that includes several Mercedes, BMWs, Jags, Porsches and everything in between. The car hits the bullseye in every sense.

    Love the car, would not buy anything less then the Touring model. The size of this car is great, but a smaller engine and you would never get up to speed. The interior is great but kind of plain. This is a big car!!!

    Execellent car, fun to drive. It turns heads where ever you go. Everyone in our family fights to get to see who drives it.

  • Won an award, then lowered the quailty - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    With less than 2500 miles on the odometer the air bag lite up and would not go out. The defroster stopped working. Chalk up 3+ weeks in the shop with the interior gutted to replace the defective main wiring harness plus other defective parts the dealer was great. They didnt mfg the car ,just repaired it. Interior is"cheap" for a 35k car. Many good things on my 2001 lhs were deleted. Ie good leather seats, instant mileage calculations, seat back pockets,automatic adjusting seat for 2 ,trunk treatment, tilting side view mirrors when backing up. Display on dash between tach and odometer is diffucult to see and read.

  • Love my 300 - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    As a widow, not knowing much about cars, I depend on my dealership a lot. My 300 is leased and I have free oil changes every three months which is wonderful. I know they will watch everything going on with my car and be honest about any problems should there be any. I love driving my 300, just as I loved driving my Sebring convertibles in the past. But unlike other cars Ive had, the 300 is super confortable, it takes the bumps in the road with ease, I feel safe inside with all the air bags and GPS, and I love the metal flaked paint and sun roof. A little piece of heaven.

    I traded in my SLS and bought this car. I have owned cars from 1962 to 1964 vettes to 57 chevys to 454 Chevelles LS6 and although I did not buy the Hemi I did drive one and with two small kids I went with the v6 do to pricing since I have a 6000 sq ft Victorian that costs more to keep up than any hot rod but the car has been awesome and even though its a v6 it still has the cool body and when I am crusing the highway at 95 it feels great. As for any law inforcent officers reading that I was just kidding. My father had a Rolls Royce and when I pull into my Grand Queen Ann I feel like I am in a Rolls Royce. I live in a very high end area and it gets as my stares as any high end cars on my roa

  • Hot...and a Great Value, too!! - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    Gr8 looks, fun to drive, great ride, nice solid feel, flat on the corners (what a change from my SUV!!), powerrrrrful, classy, & feel safe. Nice to see MB features incorporated (Ive had 3 MBs b4). Mine is fully loaded w/ALL opts. Mileage a bit sucky (15) so far, hoping it will improve. No disappointments but think many small things overlooked. 1/2 pwr pass seat is tacky, NAV shld not require CD/Radio be playing to function (have to mute), my arm slips off windowsill as its too narrow, even tho my seat is all the way down I still have to lean over to rest arm on armrest (Im 6). Headrest is annoyingly too far forward, cant adj. Auto seat-move-to-rear stops func if u touch mem recall.

  • Its a HEMI - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    Just got my 300C on Friday (5/21/04)...had a chance to test the HEMI all weekend. All I can say is "WOW". First American car Ive ever purchased (they finally got it right!). Everywhere I go people break their necks trying to get a glimpse. I was stopped at Wal-mart and some guy just asked if he could look inside...
