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.

    If you were turned off by Chrysler products back in the K-car days, its time to take another look. The new 300 series is the first significant product of the Dailmer-Chrysler merger that combines German engineering with Detroit muscle. Basically, you get a solid-feeling, quiet, roomy sports sedan with more zoom-zoom than those other guys.

    We traded in our Pontiac Firebird for the 300 and dont regret it one minute. This car rides like a luxury car and handles like a sports car. Chrysler really did a great job with the design of this car. Every where we go heads turn. You get so much for your money in this car. It is large, roomy and comfortable inside. The 3.5 V-6 is very responsive and makes it fun to drive. The Boston Acoustics sound system with satellite radio and 6 disc changer sounds awesome. I definitely think this is the best car on the market for the money.

    I love this car, most fun driving it than any car Ive owned in over 40 years (including an early 60s T-Bird and a 67 Cougar). After 4 years with this car I still get lots of looks and comments about the style. Wife wont even let me consider buying another car. Car is comfortable to ride in, and has more legroom than a friends Lexus.

  • Fantastic Performance - 2005 Chrysler 300

    For the price tag of 34K, I could not find any better performance vehicle. The car has excellent acceleration and does well on both highway and in city driving. The looks great inside & out and the ride is extremely smooth.

    Sole owner from 3 miles to recently rolling over 145000. Five years of ownership and all I have replaced is a EGR Valve last May and a rear speaker that I blew out myself. To compare this car to a Audi or Honda or Toyota is a huge mistake. They have no where near the same in-cab room and feeling of comfort on the surface of the road. The low-long body allows for tight turns and an excellent grab on the pavement. The small V6 is well enough for highway and in-town acceleration. There is no other car (under 30000 dollars) on the market with an average MPG of 25 to 28 and a presence on the road of captivating aesthetics and size that can swallow similarly priced sedans.

  • 300 C Fully Loaded - 2005 Chrysler 300

    I traded my 430 E mercedes Benz 2000 for a fully loaded 300 C hemi. I saved approx $25,000 by purchasing an american made mercedes. The car is flawless will I purchase again Yes. The power,design and the roominess for a 6 FT 4" person is unbelievable for the price.The only problem is that dealers want you to pay sticker price with no negotations.

  • Roomy & Sharp lines - 2005 Chrysler 300

    Nice style, Nice interior. Nice Dash and Console. Trunk space to spare. Many safety features which reduces Insurance. Smooth ride with 17" tires. Nice grill front. Gas lid and location could be ergonomically challenged a bit lower. Gas cap should have a place to be stored while pumping, instead of hanging limp with potential scratch opportunities over time.

  • Not a Chrysler - 2005 Chrysler 300

    As a former car dealer I am no Chrysler fan they have been building junk for several years!!!!!!!!! The 300c is a step back to the rear wheel drive days when Chrysler was a leader I have one of the first ones sold and have only good things to say about it.
