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.

  By marlonm - April 3 - 6:24 am

  I have 121,000 miles on my 300C and still love the car. In general, it has been reasonably reliable and is certainly fun to drive. I would buy one again.

  Can you Hemi now?! - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By Jesus H. Christo - December 24 - 10:00 am

  Finally a touring car from Detroit that can compete with the best from across the pond while making the traditional builders of the All- American "luxobarge" green with envy. Sure, the Mercedes chassis is the biggest part of this particular conglomeration, but DaimChryslers nod to the muscle-car era with its 21st century redo of the Hemi engine puts the icing on the cake. Get yours now before the price goes up. I got mine for only $500 over invoice.

  Great value! - 2005 Chrysler 300

  Great car! Terrific engine and transmission. Love the styling. Constantly get asked: a) is it a HEMI, b) can they look inside

  My Experience - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By G1NA3C - December 23 - 1:48 pm

  Exterior aesthetic appeal is undeniable, however interior budget cuts are evident. Leather is cheap, and not supportive - sadly MOPAR engineers have yet to achieve a benchmark ride akin to Cadillac/Lincoln. However as prior owners of both, neither can compare to the pure acceleration and road manners of 5.7/340hp 300C. Approaching 100k (5W20), w/ no mechanical problems to mention. Still avg range 320City/+400hwy varied elevation/region/driving conditions including snow. Very powerful, compliant, and forgiving platform. Thoroughly do the research and test drives, the Hemi is kicking with class leading fuel economy. On a more juvenile level, it just feels good.

  Lord blessed me with a great find - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By DE Austin - December 12 - 10:09 am

  This car can go - This car is loaded and drives and acts like a luxury car or a fast sports car...Now I am the one asked to driver everywhere. I think Chrysler and Dodge get a bum rap!! The great Lord blessed me with an awesome find...

  May have gotten a LEMON - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By Steve - December 3 - 2:53 pm

  Beautiful exterior and roomy comfortable interior. After that there are a lot of problems. Air Conditioner clutch sounds like an engine knock (dealer repaired but knock is coming back). Poor fit on rear bumper cover, steering wheel out of level, had to replace the drive shaft for a bad bearing,Air Bag light stays on (fixed 3 times), drivers seat upholstery pulled away from the frame, knock in rear end when accelerating from a stop, heated seat turns on by itself, and the check engine light stayed on for two days.

  Astonishing Value - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By Stephen - November 23 - 8:30 am

  Have had the vehicle for about 10 days and think it is a fabulous performer and value for the price paid. Have had (and still have) Mercedes since 1970. BMW, and Jaguar. This is the first "American" car Ive owned in years. The Mercedes engineering and influence is obvious. Ride seems comparable to the E Series. Terrific automobile.

  70s Chrysler Style with Benz Flair - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By Lance - November 17 - 12:03 am

  I am a liflong auto enthusiast, collector and Master Automobile Technician. I have owned over 200 cars from AMC to Pontiac, and have serviced or repaired probably 10000. The new 300C is the most exciting new automobile that I have ever experienced, by half. What first strikes you is the styling, which for me said 1973 Chrysler, which itself had styling ques from various 50s Chryslers. The stance is masculine and aggresive. The HEMI V-8 delivers enormous power and torque yet impressive fuel economy; about 24 mpg average for my driving habits. I just cant praise the new 300 enough without writing a dissertation about its virtues! Just drive one, trust me!

  ITS HEMI - 2005 Chrysler 300
  By J Schoenecker - November 11 - 10:00 am

  Im very happy with my 300C. Only 700 miles on it and it has me reliving my 1968 1/2 Plymouth RoadRunner, HT days, even my wife(who paid my 1st car payment for the RR) loves it. The MDS is excellent new technology and will spread once folks understand they can have both worlds (Power & Economy)
