  One of the best - 2002 Chrysler 300M
  By One of the best - June 4 - 4:17 pm

  This has been a reliable car. We bought it with 59.000 mi and it now has 101,000. My husband loves to drive it, he says it has get up and go. The check engine light came on a few days after we bought it, so it went to the shop a few times and although the light would be off when we picked it up, it would always come back on- And remains on to this day. Tires need to be replaced soon, those will cost nearly $500. My husband says were switching from Michelin to Yokohama. Love the moonroof! Timing belt and brakes need to be replaced soon, but other than that, have replaced nothing major. The long front end makes it hard to tell how close you are to anything. Good solid car. Safe for families.

  Oil pan blues - 1999 Chrysler 300M
  By inkfixx - April 22 - 1:42 pm

  I loved my car but every day that I go with out a new oil pan, cause Chrysler cant seem to make any cause Im number 500 plus people looking for one. So what do I do just drive around with a leaking oil pan plug, get oil all over my nice car, and then someday it leave me on the side of the road cause I cant get a flipping oil pan come on Chrysler give me a break I work hard for a living I dont need this worry on back of my mind when Im going on a road trip. See I use this car for my weekends and road trips it parked during the week. Every time I have the dealer change my oil I worry down the road... I have the oil pan blues

  Wish Chrysler still made them. - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By Paul - April 20 - 9:31 am

  The most comfortable car i have ever owned. 250 HP and 26 MPG combined city/hwy. Bought it used in 1/2005 with 120k on it. Still had original EVERYTHING: shocks, struts, battery, brakes. Original owner did nothing but put gas in it(probably didnt even change the oil). I changed all those items and put new tires on it, then racked up 65k more over the next 2 years. It started everyday, got me wherever I wanted to go in comfort and style. Just had to change the oil every 3k. It was the best car Ive ever had and it was only $7k (low price because of the high miles). I wish I could buy a brand new one, but theyve been replaced with the new 300 (fewer features, higher prices).

  300 M a reliable car - 2002 Chrysler 300M
  By always chrysler - April 16 - 10:24 am

  I have now had my 300M for 110,000 miles and average 23.2 miles per gallon in Connecticut winter driving. 24.4 miles during the summer. The car has been solid. I first changed the front brakes at 87,000 miles and just did the rear at 107,000. I am still waiting to do a tuneup and change the original battery. More of the belts and hoses along with a radiator were redone at 63,000 miles when I hit a deer on the highway. The car has always had a fade to the left driving on the highway and the check engine light has been on since 24,000 miles(no one can seem to fix that), but I certainly a pleased with the car. There have been no major problems with the car and it has been reliable. A good car.

  Solid Performer - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By Len E - March 30 - 7:59 pm

  Bought new in 1999 and I couldnt be more pleased. I had to replace the door locks and power window motor like others here, but thats it - a total of about $600 in repair over 8 years. Drives great and Ive been impressed on mileage - 29+ in freeway driving with 4 adults and luggage. 22.5 in everyday city driving. If youre looking for a low cost family car, easy to maintain but fun to drive - this is it.

  Best car Ive owned - 2004 Chrysler 300M
  By Stacey - March 27 - 6:13 pm

  I absolutely love this car... Ive only had it for 9 months but it is the best. The only thing Ive had to have replace was the a/c evaporator core but that, I hear, is a common fault in the Chrysler 300M. This car handles great on turns and curves and the gas mileage is pretty good for a 3.5 V6. The only complaint I have is the small gas tank.

  Fun and dependable - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By eliasvanc - February 19 - 3:26 pm

  Bought it new in 1999 and now have 8 years with almost no issues. Fixed 2 of the door locks - like everyone else - and had the drivers window motor go out. Plan a couple hundred for each item. Otherwise a strong runner thats great to drive. I would highly recommend buying one of these used as a dependable family car. Lots of room, good performance and good looks. And, over 10K miles of city and light highway driving, I average 23.6 MPG. Upwards of 28 MPG on long hauls.

  Very close to our Jaguar - 2001 Chrysler 300M
  By harko5 - February 14 - 4:58 pm

  Weve had the about 6 months.Had 59,000 miles on it. Bought from an individual in California, driven 1500 miles home. The car was an absolute pleasure to drive. It averaged just over 31 mpg. on the way home. On middle pump gas.It responds "right now" to the gas pedal. The drivers position, comfort and visability is great.Wind noise is at a minimum. My wife loves it. I have a Jaguar that is the finest car Ive ever had. It is superb. This 300M rides and handles almost as well. In conclusion, its a great car. You cant go wrong.

  Love It! - 2002 Chrysler 300M
  By MaryS - February 14 - 1:06 pm

  I bought it new and still have it. I have never kept a car this long, but cant find one I like better. Very comfortable, loaded with luxury features. Aside from standard maintenance and new tires, the only repair was to replace a tire pressure sensor. I wish the 300C didnt look so much like a gangster car. I would have traded for another 300 several years ago.

  Great fun, when it runs - 2004 Chrysler 300M
  By Chuebs - January 5 - 2:52 am

  This car is both the best car Ive ever owned, and the worst. Its sleek, low, NASCAR inspired style is beautiful. It will fly on the freeway, and rumble impressively in town. The 3.5 litre motor has loads of power. The interior design, bells & whistles are first class. However, it is scared of snow. Even changing to snow tires, the car is skittery and quite nerve wracking. It uses up brake pads every 10K miles. As mentioned in other reviews, the low profile causes the front spoiler to hang up on parking blocks, ripping the front facia loose. Its prone to have expensive climate control problems. The failure of an engine cam sensor nearly caused a major freeway accident.
