Overview & Reviews

Significant changes are in store for the 2008 Chrysler 300. An updated interior includes new soft-touch surfaces, revised instrument panel and console designs, and available LED accent lighting. New luxury-oriented options include adaptive cruise control, a surround-sound audio system, a dedicated iPod interface, Sirius Backseat TV for the rear entertainment system and a new hard-drive based MyGIG multimedia system with optional navigation. Safety has been enhanced with new front seat-mounted side airbags added to the 300's available side curtain airbag system. Wrapping everything up is freshened front and rear exterior styling and Chrysler's new limited lifetime powertrain warranty.

• Muscular V8 power, distinctive styling, available all-wheel drive, long-wheelbase model, lots of luxury and performance for the price.

• Lackluster V6 acceleration, mediocre trunk space, poor visibility for shorter drivers.

  Upgraded from a 09 300m to 08 300 limited - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By Austingoodwin1234@gmail.com - September 22 - 12:32 am

  I loved this car from the moment I bought it. Sadly I was hit by someone doing 45 at a complete stop. An my car held up like a tank compared to theres! Its also extremely comfortable an big inside for the cost. Highway mileage is 26-28 city it 17-22. Could be better but I knew what I was getting myself into. For the trim an leather seats an all the features an the low mileage an price I paid. Well worth the cost!! Had it over 8 months an not one problem. Had one recall on it an had dealership fix it free. Great car thats safe an very customizable. Ive put the newer bmw/Audi angel eyes CCFL lights with bi xenon an I get nothing but compliments!

  Superb Vehicle - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By beniciajoe - May 6 - 8:03 pm

  Great style, great performance and total comfort make for a superb vehicle. This is my second 300, with the first being a 2006 Touring model. The Touring was a more balanced car, delivering everything I needed. But the 300C Heritage Edition give me everything I want. Speed, comfort and reliability. Great highway cruiser, and it pulls strong up to its 130 mph electronic limit. Nice neutral handling through the turns, and good communication as you approach the cars limits. Amazing comfort and stereo combine to make the miles effortless. I now have 148,000 miles, and no problems yet - I still have the original brake pads and rotors! I can afford a new car, but this has everything.

  My 2008 Chrysler 300C AWD - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By jan56 - March 4 - 7:20 am

  This is my second 300C AWD. The first was the 2006 model and I loved it. Then I got the 2008. What a disappointment. Its noisy and has been having issues since day one. Off and on electrical, the navigation system, UConnect. Additionally new rotors at a little over 12000 miles. Its been a royal pain. While the ride is smooth, the noise level is ridiculous. Being on UConnect, it is difficult to hear over the noise in the cabin. They definitely cheapened this version compared to the 2006. I had planned to stay with Chrysler, but now, Im thinking not. Unless theyve made some major improvements to quality, Ill take my money else where.

  Love this badboy - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By gattor75 - November 24 - 2:00 am

  I got my 08 - 300 LX used with 57k already piled on him. Right arm started hurting (squeaking), just massaged it with oil - WD40 and that was it. Ive piled an additional 18k on his back and hes still running like the day I first brought him home, good boy! Smooth ride, quite cabin, roomy interior what else? Oh! even my ex-wife loves him though she kicked against the idea when we were married. lol

  Do Not Buy This Car! - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By Mike300T - April 13 - 11:01 am

  Bought car in October 2008 with 30,000 miles on it. After 2 months both tie rods had to be replaced under warranty. January 09 loud ticking noise from engine like lifters going bad. March 09, had to replace tie rod on left side again, Still under warranty. March 2010, very loud clunky sound coming from front end. Took to dealer, report came back that left and right tension arms, left and right sway bars and right tie rod end are shot!! Warranty covers up to 50,000 miles. I have 61,000. I have a 97 Chevey Lumna that I bought with 63,000 miles on it and it has not had the number of problems like the 300. Every mechanic that I have talked to says get rid of it, problems will get worse.

  Fantastic vehicle - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By Alex Povolotski - January 7 - 8:01 pm

  Drove 3000 miles in it in winter time across Canadian border over a couple of weeks. Didnt have any technical issues but for one -- tachometer needle went all the way around the dial and then came back to normal in an instant. That happened on several occasions. Electrical problem, I assume. It didnt rev the engine though, just the needle behaved strangely. Very large full-size (finally!) real American vehicle. Drives fantastic! Cushy ride. Rides on Merc undercarriage actually. Smooth and seamless power delivery. Chryslers and Dodges are actually known for their powerful engines. Very stylish and comfortable car to drive.

  300C Hemi Heritage Edition -Cool Vanilla - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By RichmondVA300C - November 14 - 5:46 pm

  Bought this car new in 2009...last one in the showroom. It is the Heritage Edition, so it comes standard with many interior upgrades such as the U- Connect, NAV, MPEG with 40GIG Hardrive, as well as a very sharp camel color interior and special leather seats. In addition, the 300C comes with the standard stuff that really makes the car special...like adaptive cruise control, Bose Stereo with 400W Amp, power steering tilt and pedals, memory seats, engine cuts from 8 to 4 cylinders to save fuel etc. I could go on for days about the standard/added features features on the 300C. I am 65" tall and fit in the car great. Truly a joy to drive, although gas mileage is quite disappointing.

  2008 300C: A great buy - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By OceanP - October 11 - 11:33 pm

  After a younger generation of my family totalled my Lincoln LS on ice, I was in the market for a replacement. Drove many of the "reliable" imports: ranging from Infinity to Lexus. Then I drove the 300C. The others are all great cars, but none offered the classic styling and the WOW effect of the 300C, and the power of the HEMI. The car has been great so far and consistently gives 22 to 23 mpg on the highway runs visiting my kid at college. Great comfort, ride and performance to boot! And unique looks to go with it. The interior could stand to be upgraded a bit. You can see where Chrysler cut corners: But still very liveable inside and out. Just wish the exhaust note was a bit throatier.

  Better in the snow than a 4 x 4 truck! - 2008 Chrysler 300
  By KAO - May 5 - 10:29 pm

  Quiet, perfect for a 6 person, 400 + mile trips easy, not fatigue. Gets around better than a 4 x 4 truck in the snow. Would be a tank with Blizzaks! Feels like a luxury car inside.
