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.

  Design - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By Thomas Alston - February 24 - 7:26 pm

  Front end is too low and scrapes underneath in parking lots where chocks are used. Also, in parking areas near buildings where cement curbing and side walks exits. I dislike the gas tank. I have spilled gasoline on several occasions. Not much room to top tank off. I like the body style, the amount of interior and cargo space. Like the accessories.

  Problems with my 300 - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By charles lewis - February 23 - 9:10 pm

  Mileage 183,000. Engine is shot, it has a broken wrist pin. Gas gauge broken, had to replace rotors every 40,000 miles, suspension has gotten weak, car sways a lot. I am having to replace the engine, total cost: $4,200. I am not a happy camper. Period. I loved this car, hope to have put 250,000 miles on it. It did not happen! Running lights are always getting hit with debris and going out

  I hated Chrysler - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By kb - February 20 - 11:53 am

  Never thought i would own a Chrysler. By chance rented the Touring version and was extremely impressed with the fit and finish, handling and comfort. I had bought a dodge avenger for my daughter,a college student, and watched her car quickly deteriorate during a 3yr period. I must have put half as much money into repairs relative to what I initially paid for the vehicle.Her car looked good and drove well but quality and dependability was poor to say the least.In any event I swore Id never own another Chrysler product-that was until I test drove a 300c, with all wheel drive. I had test driven the LS, Avalon, A6,Infiniti and STS before the 300c. The 300c was undoubtedly the best car.

  This car gets more looks and comments than any car Ive ever owned. Classy, rugged, beautiful design. Plenty of power with the 3.5 and lots of nice features.

  300C stands the test of time - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By Marlonm - February 14 - 5:51 pm

  Just wanted to write-in after 88,000 miles I still love my 300C as much as the day I bought it. I have had a few, mostly minor problems (headlight, EGR valve, cam sensor, differential seal leak, nav button). All of these have been covered by 100K warranty. Still have yet to replace the brakes! Gas mileage is excellent (22 combined MPG) as long as I dont mash the pedal too often. I would buy this car all over again if Chrysler is still around in a few years.

  Love It - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By Art - February 3 - 5:46 pm

  I had some great cars but there is something about my 300 that makes me feel good when driving it or looking at it.Its a base model with cool vanilla paint with a sun roof and a six cylinder motor.I read a comment saying the base 6 is sluggish which I have to say is not true.I have friends who have the 300 with 8 cylinder motors and I cant see much difference.I had a 4 cylinder Mustang and my 300 is better on gas.Im not sorry I got the base because its still an eye pleaser with more than enough power which people remark about when riding in it.

  Best American car since the 1950s - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By Chrome57 - January 10 - 10:00 am

  I just traded in a 2000 Saturn L-series for the 300C. Looking back at the old window sticker of the Saturn, I realized I paid only 7K less than I did on the 300C--that number would decrease with inflation. A small difference in money can really buy you a car thats light years ahead of anything else on the market. This car offers so much style, performance, and value that I couldnt even consider another car.
