Looks awesome, in shop often - 2006 Chrysler 300
By gregory tortorello - April 23 - 1:01 pmThis is best looking car I`ve ever owned. I was blown away by the stylings of the 300. Unfortunately it has been in the shop over a dozen times with one problem alone clocking 6 visits without the problem being rectified. Needless to say, I`ve given up on this model and probably all Chrysler products as well.

It is the little stuff! - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Mopar Old Timer - April 8 - 5:01 pmAutostick too easily shifted by accidental touch. Visibility poor,cannot see cars when changing lanes on either side easily. Ride is rough in city driving, manholes, etc. Tires of poor quality. Use Goodyear or Michelin, not Continentals

Its Beautiful, BUT - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Theresa - January 9 - 11:36 pmI love the way the car looks but if I had realized it was underpowered I would have gotten the 3.5. The salesman didnt offer for me to test drive the 3.5. Im worried about the transmission on a car that almosts weighs 4,000 lbs. My 98 Ford Taurus had a better performance. Oh, well. Live and Learn. Ill probably try to trade it in before the warranty gives out.

My first new car - 2006 Chrysler 300
By C.R. MAIKRANZ - October 24 - 11:46 pmThe 2006 chrysler, base , 300, is a beautiful car. It`s styling is outstanding. It lacks in the performance dept. With the engine, in my opinion, too small, 2.7 V6. Fuel economy is not as advertised, and the transmission leaves a lot to be desired. I like to use 2 nd. Gear a lot in winter. This can not be be done on this car. Otherwise it is a lot of car for the money. Hope chrysler changes that poor winter time transmission though. If i had noticed a little earlier, i may have had second thoughts on that issue. All in all, it is a very nice car.

Cant stop driving. - 2006 Chrysler 300
By jpsdesk - July 16 - 11:00 amI cant get enough drive time with this car. This car corners well, and the 3.5 v6 engine puts out great power. The wife and I get in on Saturday morning, put in a classical or oldies CD, crank up the volume and head out onto the Michigan back roads. I havent wanted to do this since I bought a new Chevy Nova Super Sport, back in 1972.

STR-8 - day 1 - 2006 Chrysler 300
By baki - May 28 - 7:36 amDay 1: Still getting use the the car. Awesome power, great looks, handles great for a heavy car. Great fun to drive. Most impressive for me has been the power this car has and how quick it is for a car of this size and weight.

Fun Drive: Great Road Trip Vehicle - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Doc - May 5 - 3:03 pmFirst road trip was a blast from the city to the country. Vehicle handled the interstate with ease, providing a comfortable drive over the hills and winding roads. Very capable for passing and handles well. Vehicle cabin was roomy and made for a comfortable driver and passenger ride. Full economy did not fully meet expectations. However, did drive the recommended speed limit. Overall average was 18mpg. Never noticed when or if the engine went from 8 to 4 cylinder operation. The trunk proved to be roomy enough to handle all the luggage for three people. Over the course of a 500 trip, grew to love the performance and handling of the vehicle. Missed the upscale luxury interiors.
