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.

  • 3 shop visits - 2005 Chrysler 300

    Its a great car, except, its been in the shop already 3 times, first time was a recall about the radiator, second time, "it needed a new muffler to get rid of a loud rattle noise" they had to keep the car for 2 weeks, now the third time "same raddle noise, needs a new exhaust, and sunroof seal is coming off, and automatic power windows stoped working", its been 2 weeks now, and still dont have my car back. It makes me wonder what lemon did I buy, since the car is brand new, and in less the 8 months I have had this many problems.

  • Dont buy a 300 chrysler 2005 or 2006 !!! - 2005 Chrysler 300

    This Car is a TOTAL FLOP! I have had nothing but problems since the first week. There is a MAJOR design flaw in at least 10% of these cars (And the Dodge Magnum) where the car pulls (leads, drifts) to the right and it is dangerous to drive and hard to control. Read all the posts in the Chyrsler Forums here on this website to learn more! Chrysler wont admit to this problem, but they keep buying back peoples cars...I wonder why?!?!?!? From what Ive read, the 2006s have the problem too! Dont get stuck like me, stay away from Chrylser-Dodge-Jeep!

  • Frickin Awsome!! - 2005 Chrysler 300

    Absolutely amazing car. I sold a 2002 MB CL500 and bought the 300c. This car is the absolutely best car value on the market. Great combination of performance, bold styling, features and value. I put on 22" wheels (yes they fit), and an E&G grill. Got more compliments in 2 days in my 300C, than in 2 years in my Mercedes. The car is a real head turner. Was at the store and some guy was actually taking a picture of it with his camera phone. Dropped the kids of at high school and they actually want me to drop them off in front (those of you with teenagers will appreciate this). No dissapointments. The great American Muscle car is BACK!

  • My First Chrysler Ever - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    This is a car thats fun to drive and still provides a luxury ride. Id rather drive the 300C than my Nissan 300ZX because the 300C would beat the pants off the 300ZX. My only complaint is the drivers seat doesnt provide adequate upper leg support.On long drives leg fatigue sets in.

  • $35,000 Mercedes-Benz E-class? - 2005 Chrysler 300
    By -

    Competing against cars such as V8 luxury cars but priced at rides such as V6 "upscales" DaimlerChrysler has finally decided to get their feet wet, but the 300C is best-in-class whether "class" be measured by price or statistics IT wins them both! The 300C drives and handles with agility and with silence; the engine has an incredible "purr" at 340-hp with the HEMI. USAToday rates it as "only a bumpy ride away from perfect;" it stands at the top with Lexus! Doors shut with a "vault-like" sound and the ride is perfect. The car is 20% Mercedes- Benz (on value) but it is more!
