  Why buy imports? Chrysler/Mopar is #1 - 2001 Chrysler 300M
  By mopar 4 life - August 1 - 2:49 am

  I love Chrysler cars, not ever one bit of trouble with them. My first car was a 1996 Dodge Intrepid, and I loved it. It had 121,000 miles on it when I sold it this Febuary, with all original engine and transmission parts in it. I bought my 300M in January, and LOVE it. I loved the styling and all else when they came out in 99, but when they got all the chrome in 2001, I wanted one ever so badly. Super fast for a car this size with a v6, and excellent handling on mountain roads and perfect in snow (I live in Colorado). Just a couple of days ago, I drove 5 full grown adults up Pikes Peak to 14,100 feet above sea level with no problem on performace or traction. Chrysler nailed this one. Sweet

  It is Special - 2002 Chrysler 300M
  By Poconos Bill - July 31 - 1:13 pm

  Ive driven this fine car for 3 years and have no unusual maintenance needs (only" oil changes Brake Pads and Tires at 40,000). Ive enjoyed the Interstate Highway and secondary road competence. The only worry I have is the natural tendency to exceed any speed limit! Some Tram Line agravation when I purchased this care was acutally loose lug nut related! (resolved with torque wrench check). I love driving this car in the warm months - It stays mostly garaged in the winter as the tires "Michelin Pilot Sports" are not good in snow (and you are so warned when you buy these tires). This M is special.

  Bumpy - 2004 Chrysler 300M
  By nancy - July 16 - 1:33 am

  I love the look of this car. It is classy looking. Somewhat disappointed in the suspension. I had in garage twice to check struts. It is like driving a truck when on rough roads. I wonder if it is just my car or the make of the car. Other than that--i love the car just wish the ride was better.

  I have been extremely happy with this car. I have never have any repairs done, only routine maintenance. It has great handling and performance. Chrysler got this one right.

  Would do it different if I could - 2002 Chrysler 300M
  By hartz425 - July 2 - 10:32 pm

  Great looking car both inside and out, nice dash and I liked the style it has. That is where is all stops, I road noise is like driving a pick up truck, you feel every bump and crack in the road, very disappointing in these area. Fuel ecomomy has run 20 combine highway and city, I thought that would be better for a V6, inside is comfortable, the AC is bad also, but everything is black inside, another mistake, rotors are always rusting and making a mess on the garage floor. In short I can not wait until I get back to a Lincoln, have not had a Chrsyler for 32 years and hope never to have another

  300 M - 1999 Chrysler 300M
  By Linda - June 29 - 9:46 pm

  This car has had alot of problems:AC, compressor, emergency flashers that come on by themselves, flickering headlights, courtesy lightcovers coming off, power windows that dont work (1 actually shattered and had to be replaced)and backing up very fast without the drivers foot even on the pedal and the paint has faded from red to pink.

  Buyer Beware - 2001 Chrysler 300M
  By Sandy - May 18 - 4:32 pm

  I bought my 2001 300M because I loved the styling, the handling and performance,the ride was never great. Its a big car and I think the styling still turns heads. But the cabin is too noisy for a car of this value. Over 50 mph you must yell to rear passengers. The ride is a little bumpy but that may be the sportier suspension. The dealer had to replace the radio in the first year, a pain but it was covered. The rotors warped and had to be turned at 24,000 miles. I was seriously considering a new 2006 300C, but the transmission on the 2001 went this week at 62,500 miles. Thats it for me! Chrylser didnt want to know me so now I dont want to know them. Hello Toyota Avalon?

  Race Car - 2002 Chrysler 300M
  By Tom - April 30 - 11:28 am

  I bought this car out of frustation because I had looked at so many. I bought the wrong car. Pretty expensive, lousy milage, and not the highway car that I needed. Having said that, it is a very good car. Handles great, fast (too fast?), roomy, room for 2 + golf bags in the trunk but noisey from road noise. OEM tires lasted 20,000 at $300/each. All in all next time Id buy somethink else. Mopar fans probably love it, I dont.

  Great car to drive and look at! - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By Chrysler 300M - April 17 - 1:50 pm

  I have to say this has been a trouble free car. It has had no major problems. It is one of the few cars I have owned in my 73 years that I like as much now as the day I drove it off the dealers lot. The new 300 is nice, except for more power in the 300C I would not sell my 300M to get one.

  300M still the best - 2004 Chrysler 300M
  By K0VH - April 12 - 12:12 am

  We bought a loaded new 300M a year ago, liking the style and needing FWD vs at the time the new 300 mobsta cars were only RWD. A year later we are very very satisfied, our first auto -ever- with NO warranty problems!! Great styling, performance, handling and LOTS of interior room and comfort. You should be able to get good deals on used models with the same 3.5L V6 the new 300s have. The car handled well in the snow, heated seats worked great. Read the edmunds.com forum to see how many remain commited to this even since it initially came out in 99.
