I wish eminem was in the 300 comercial becasue he's my fave but it is very roomy and luxurious

Pros

Very comfortable, even the back seat has lots of leg room, you control the temperature individually.

Cons

Ride is smooth, regardless if you're traveling mountain roads, or the expressway.

Love the car, and am shocked that anyone found the ride uncomfortable, unless maybe it's the limited models they are talking about?

Pros

Almost perfect car.

Cons

Body roll and cig. lighter.

Purchased As New

Bought an '06 new, loved it. Only traded it in for an '09 because the warrentee ran out and the '09 has the entire drive train warrenteed for as long as I own the car.
On both cars the cig. lighter blows the fuse and I cannot find any place, including the dealers, that will sell me a rear anti-sway bar to reduce body roll....read morehide

The car has steering problems in a high crosswind. It squirrels around like an old car with worn steering.

Cons

not found any

This is by far the best car I'v ever owned. Yes my dealer lost there franscies but still gives me great service. Other than oil changes and tire rotation, I've had no problems. It had 16,000 miles on it when purchased and now has 41,000 miles on it. I average 28 mpg and I don't baby it. It is a 2006 and yes I plan keeping it till 2011. By the way I am 64 and this is my 1st chrysler product. My 2011 car will be another 300...read morehide

Pros

Rear wheel drive is the best.

Cons

the price is to luxury

Purchased As Not Purchased

after viewing this car, it shows lots of improvement in Chrysler. But still the price of a car is the luxury of a cost of a home. Again, like any other car company, don't look at the value of the dollar. Instead, they look at the value of profit. Even though, lots of Americans can't afford a luxury sedans like Lincolns and other fine luxury cars....read morehide

Here is my long term 300 review, which is always more important then those dumb initial quality..

As a company car I have had 3 ? 300's, all base models, an 05,07 and 09, I have totaled about
200K miles. It looks as though Chrysler has kept moving upscale as my last was a LX and they are not making the original base models anymore. For '10 they have even done away with the LX and it starts with a touring, which only our big shots get. As our big shots bonuses soar our monthly payment doubles and we now get a ford fusion and glad we still have a job... I believe that Ford has laid off most design engineers as almost every car looks exactly the same, with their family car line, they started with the focus and now make them in extra small to large and a crossover... Since the ground breaking 300, GM at least tried and done OK with a few models, while Ford gave up long ago as you can tell by their 500 / Taurus.

None of my cars had ever left me on the side of the road which IMHO is the MOST important thing. The only real problem was my 05, it failed to start one morning, after a few tries I pulled the fuse on the computer and it started the next time. Only problem was that the external temp gauge updated VERY slowly, stopped by the Chrysler dealer to have it resynced and they charged my leasing company $300. By the end, my 05's steering was getting tighter ? which I did not notice until my 07 showed up, but then again it was a little different car. I have NEVER had any problems with my 07 or 09, and I put 90K on the 07. I received very good life from all tires and brakes... Out of our entire fleet
I have only heard of one person who had a few problems, VERY good record. If these cars can survive in Cleveland and Detroit, they will last anywhere...

I am the most impressed on how the cars handled in the snow, living in PA it can be an issue. My company also relocated their training from CA to Cleveland, and I was stuck there in the winter with these cars and they were actually great ? not as good as a good fwd but very close. I have driven some REAL bad RWD's and these cars are awesome comparatively. I was limited on what tires I could have put on and needed to wait until the tread was at 3/32's which is a lot lower then I would normally go.

The buyouts offered are lousy, and my family has never purchased any, as we do not need another full size family sedan. I highly recommed these cars, and will miss mine ........read morehide

Pros

Simply the best looking, best riding, best performing car I have ever owned.

Cons

The only con is the view from the rear window when backing.

I bought a closeout 2006 300C Black with the Hemi of course, and I can tell you still today I think it is the best car on the road for it's type. It can be a limo, and a drag car all in one car. I own it forever!

Pros

style and interior room

Cons

front ball bearings gone at 55,000 miles; tappeds started at 58,000 miles; spare key does not open c

Purchased As New

For price and average mileage (at best), I won't buy another Chrysler. Too many problems for a 2005 model car with only 59,000 miles.

Pros

"300" Best Overall

Cons

None

Purchased As New

Driven this car 4000 miles and cannot find anything wrong with it. Best car I'v ever owned
