For a Blast Drive a 300C - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Mark - December 9 - 2:16 pmI purchased this car new in November of 2006. It combines, power, handling and luxury all in one package. After owning high end Lincolns, Oldsmobiles and Buicks, this auto is one of my favorites with exception to the Buick Park Avenue. The 300C AWD intertwines ample power, superb handling and amenities that gives the driver and passengers a superior auto experience. In three years of ownership there have only been two visits to the dealership and the problems were a tech bulletin notice for a transmission seal leak and the navigation CD failed. Both were handled with no residual problems. I plan on keeping this car for a long time, side by side with my Park Avenue!

Awesome Car - 2006 Chrysler 300
By James - December 7 - 11:23 amThis by far is the best car Ive had, even with this problems that have come along with it (mostly the dealer that sold me the car). I ditched that dealer and now my issues are resolved.

Awesome!! - Go Get One! - 2006 Chrysler 300
By El_Raven - December 6 - 1:03 pmIm 65" and never thought of buying a car. I always drove trucks and SUVs. One day a car service was using this car and I was in the back seat as a passenger. I couldnt believe the room. A few weeks later, I test drove it and I have more room in the front seat than I did in my Expedition. The price/performance ratio for this car is insanely attractive. More HP, all the internal features, Mercedes styling and suspension for 30%-40% off other luxury vehicles. I couldnt pass it up. My wife made me a happy man this Xmas!

300C AWD less than perfect! - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Bob G - December 4 - 10:26 amVehicle is very comfortable, handles well, ease of entry and exit is very good. Present mileage is 9500. I have experienced throttle hesitation under most circumstances but especially when turning from highway onto exit and attempting light acceleration, it simple does not respond until accelerator is depressed much more and then response is sudden and abrupt. Under full throttle acceleration I frequently experience a severe hesitation between shifts from 1st to 2nd wherein the vehicle seems to loose forward momentum and nose dives! Dealer says "no codes, no problem" I am extremely disappointed in this vehicle due to the aforementioned behavior. My Wife has experienced the same behavior.

Pokeys 300c Experience - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Pokey50 - November 18 - 9:40 pmAt first glance I love the 300c. Brought the car without a test drive. Love all the attention of driving it. In my third month of owning it, the car began to shudder while accelerating. Took it back to the dealer and learn that there is a technical service bulletin on this car because water is getting in the transmission by way of a faulty dip stick tube on the transmission. The dealer first change the filter and fluid, work for a while, then shudder came back. The dealer replace rhe torque converter as well as change the fluid again. Waiting to see if this solves the problem. I love the way this car looks, the power and feel although the ride is a bit bumpy in the inner city. Full warranty.

Best car I have ever owned !!!! - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Chris - November 4 - 6:07 pmThis is without a doubt the best car I have ever purchased. I have had roughly 16 new vehicles of all makes and models. This car is so fast and fun to drive. It has more horsepower than just about anything on the road. It handles like a race car and accelerates like on too. I bought this car because it was the only 4 door on the dealers lot with a DVD in it for my 3 year old daughter. She was driving me crazy on road trips.. Little did I know what exactly I had just done. I just purchased the best car for the value on the market today.

Dont miss the SUV - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Karen - October 30 - 4:16 amI bought this car after obsessive shopping and am completely satisfied. The black with chrome is very classy.It is alot of car for the money. The bluetooth u-connect where the phone comes through the radio/nav is cool.The DVD hidden in the center console and headsets keep everyone happy.The navigation is terrific. Ive been driving it for 6 months with no regrets! My husband who is a BMW person loves the drive and power. Great on long trips.Gas mileage up to 22 mpg. Highly recommend this car for all ages. Seems very solid.

Awesome!!! - 2006 Chrysler 300
By skullflower - October 29 - 1:06 pmWe purchased this vehicle almost two months ago, and I still get excited to run simple errands. The power, the luxury, and the fun qualities of this vehicle, make it jaw dropping. The quality is as good as it looks. It really is a luxury vehicle, with more power than most vehicles and trucks on the road!!!

Hemi Engine Problem - 2006 Chrysler 300
By L.K. Johansen - October 15 - 5:13 pmAt 26,500 miles my hemi broke down with a broken valve spring. I was towed and was without my 300C for a week. Out-of- town dealer replaced all 16 valve springs and plugs. Runs fine now, but I could not believe the stares I got with my hood up and flasher lights blinking last Friday night on a major thoroughfare. I was shocked and disappointed that this could happen. I have never abused my 300C by driving it too hard. My car shook violently and I lost power rapidly. The check engine light flashed unmercifully. I will give my hemi one more chance. The next time I am trading for either a Japanese or German car. I guess American built reliability is still highly suspect.

Looks good but made with cheap parts! - 2006 Chrysler 300
By Julia Davis - October 11 - 9:58 pmIt is made with cheap parts that will keep you at a dealer. ALL the pins in my motor broke in half and they were hollow. The mechanic said that most pins are solid all the way through so if they broke once they will do it again. Every time I took it in, I was told they get alot of 300s in with all types of problems and most of them have to do with the motor. I love the look but hate the way it kept me at a dealer. Im glad I got rid of it.
