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.

  A Real Head Turner - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By rahthrift - November 28 - 9:43 pm

  I cant say enough good things about this car. Strangers tell me what a beautiful car it is every time I drive it. It is the smoothest ride imaginable. Both my children instantly fall asleep in the roomy backseat whenever we take a ride. It really is a great value and quite a car.

  Finally An American Car That Rocks!!! - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By Teamjon251 - October 31 - 10:00 am

  I traded a 2002 Lincoln Town Car for this 300 C. Im glad I did!! This car is twice the car the Lincoln is. Its so quiet and the ride is great. You cant hear or feel the engine when it goes from 8 to 4. It turns heads everywhere I go.

  Great car for the Price! - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By Russell Urzi - October 31 - 10:00 am

  My wife thought I was nuts when I traded in my 2002 Lexus ES300 for this car, but Im glad that I did! This car is great looking and lots of fun to drive. A very classic exterior syle with a grill from the old 300s from the 1950s and a clean retro interior. Everyone makes fun of the interior analog clock but I happen to like it! This car feels more solid than my Lexus and has more "get up and go" power. If you are not careful, you will find yourself cruising at 95 mph and not even feel it. The only negative is the fit and finish is not up to Lexus standards and the quality of the interior matierals could be improved.

  A Comfortable and Stylish Sedan - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By ldatty - October 26 - 10:00 am

  This is one if the finest cars I have owned in the last 20 years. There is a great combination of smooth ride with precise handling. The is like the luxury cars of the past, but with greatly impoved handling qualities. The fit and finish is good, and I have found no defects. The one area that could use some improvement is the interior. There is too much gray plastic on the dash and door panels. However, the leather seats have a nice appearance and are very comfortable. This is one I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a comfortable sedan that has great styling.

  JUST PLAIN FUN - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By RONALD G KRAKOWSKI - October 26 - 10:00 am

  THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED ALL MY EXPECTATIONS AS FAR AS FUN AND EXCITEMENT. THE BEAUTY OF THE VEHICLE GRABS YOU FIRST, THEN YOU ENTER A COCKPIT WHICH RESEMBLES ANY HIGHLINE AUTO ON THE MARKET. INSTRUMENTATION IS EASY TO USE AND FIND. TRANSMISSION IS SMOOTHER THAN ANY OTHER VEHICLE IVE OWNED AND OF COURSE THE 5.7L HEMI JUST ROCKS WHEN YOU PUNCH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE.CAN YOU SAY HEMI.

  My Opinions on the 300C - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By C.M. Glover - October 8 - 9:40 am

  I have always been a GM owner and was looking for nice upper level luxury/sport sedan. I didnt like the current trends in styling at GM and was considering a used BMW or Mercedes until I saw the 300C. Elegant styling with performance overtones that does not disapoint. The interior is big even for my 64" size in front or rear seats. The comfort is great with good support in the seats and well thought out controls. The Mercedes influence is very apparent with good handeling and a solid, quiet ride. The american muscle under the hood is well worth the money and makes highway onramps and long trips effortless. With every possible option mine just did break $40k. Great product, great value.

  Rolling Dream - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By Chrome1958 - September 19 - 10:00 am

  Why consider a bland Lexus ES, a twitchy and cramped Acura TL, or a torque-steering Nissan Maxima when you could spend the same or less and get a fire-breathing, beautifully crafted hot rod? No quality issues yet, but you can see where money was saved--no trunk pull down, no torso airbags (head curtains are an option), and limited color choices, among others. The fuel economy isnt horrific, my combined city/highway is about 23 and the car is in its break in period. Those that complain about their observed economy should realize that they chose to buy a 4,000lb car with a 340h.p. 5.7 liter V-8.

  Glad I did it - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By Erik F - September 19 - 10:00 am

  Was considering the CTS, FX35 and RX330...than found my 300C. Was sold the car at invoice with almost all the goodies, and it is amazing. Never gotten off the line like this before, all kinds of looks, thumbs up, etc from passers by. To get anything close to this car at Cady or foreign would have cost me at least another $8-$10K. It has the looks and feel to make you happy, the American nameplate to make you patriotic, and the performance and price to make you proud you bought it.

  By bjd - August 30 - 5:26 pm

  love the car so far. Owned same for 1 month however there areas that are inconveinent. ex. blind spots, rear view mirror too small. display panel on dash is dificult to read. cruise control is a pain to operate. Memory seats are lacking(std on my 2001 LHS). Tilting rear view mirrors when backing up are gone, also std on my 2001 LHS. Steeing wheel tilt is better on my 2001.there are two drivers, adjustable brake in/out used once.telescoping steering wheel used once.Garage opener should be an option, I dont have a garage but had to take same.milege not even close to sticker so far.10 vs 17.
