Great value! It stands out in crowded parking lots or in traffic without the snobbery of some higher-priced European and Asian competitors. It is fun to drive, good acceleration, and fuel economy for a large, heavy car is very good, 20-21 in town and 26-28 on the road. The 300 has comfort, ease of handling, and an incredible amount of space in the interior. Simply love the car. Buy American.

Very Classy car

I just get at bought this car and I love it. The interior design is very up to date and comfortable. While the exterior design is very classy. I was looking to purchase a Dodge Charger but after a lot of research decided to go with the 300. I am more that pleased with my decision. I can tell you that this is a vehicle that I will have for a very long time

Chrysler 300 C 2009 Heritage Edition

Performance: 5 Comfort: 5 Fuel Economy: 5 Fun To Drive: 5 Interior Design: 5 Exterior Design: 5 Build Quality: 5 Reliability: 5 Comfort Rating: 5 Performance Rating: 5 Interior Rating: 5 Reliability Rating: 5

I purchased a gold, 2009 Heritage Edition with 4017 miles on it from NC. Flew from St. Louis, MO and I drove it 883 miles home and only filled up once! The MDS kicked in for most of the trip and I got 27 mpg on the highway. Fuel economy is excellent considering the vehicle's size and weight. Acceleration is terrific and speed builds quickly. The seats are very comfortable although the view out the windows take some getting used to. Rear view is pinched to say the least. Ergonomically, the car is great as everything is right where it's supposed to be. I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone else.

I just bought this car less than a month ago with 25,000 Km on it. 3 days ago another driver drove flat out into the side of it (didn't even hit the brakes). Both doors were hit. I had the head light assembly of her car drilled into the metal of my car. The drivers door would not open after impact and there was a 1 inch gap between the drivers door and frame of the car. Her car did not breach the interior passenger space. The windows didn't break and I did not have side airbags either. The entire drivers side of the car is caved in and we got out alive with no cuts and no broken bones. If we had been in a smaller car I have no doubt we would be in intensive care right now.

Second 300

Love my 300. I had a 1996 300 that I really enjoyed but I did have some trouble in the winter since my area is very hilly, and I must drive when it snows. So I did not think twice about trading it in as soon as payed off so I could buy the awd model. It has been great! My fuel mileage only went down by a hair over 1 mpg and it is great in the snow.

Less than pleased

This car is fairly fun to drive, good acceleration, and fuel economy for a large, heavy car is good, 19-20 in town and 26-28 on the road. It has HORRIBLE ground clearance, the front air dam cannot even clear a normal 5- 6" high wheel stop and drags when turning in to a driveway that has any kind of drainageway on the side of the road. In 5" of snow, the bottom of the vehicle dragged. Also, the doors do not stay open if parked on the slightest angle. The color options were poor in Phoenix, there was only Cool Vanilla available with the GPS navigation option.

2009 300C AWD

Performance: 5 Comfort: 5 Fuel Economy: 4 Fun To Drive: 5 Interior Design: 5 Exterior Design: 5 Build Quality: 5 Reliability: 5 Comfort Rating: 5 Performance Rating: 5 Interior Rating: 5 Reliability Rating: 5

I bought the 300 new in June of 09. I got the "cool vanilla" paint with the chrome package, and the thing is absolutely gorgeous. I average 24.8 mpg hwy, & 16.8 mpg in city driving, which is good, considering it's a 5.7L with AWD. It has power to spare, to go with the good looks, and it handles well for a large, domestic car. It is not in the same class as the Europeans as far as handling is concerned, but for the thousands of dollars less your paying, I'd say it's a fair trade off. I'm looking forward to the 2011 model with, hopefully, some tweaks in the suspension system as well as improved fuel economy.

Unbelievable Value

Returned a leased 2007 300C AWD and bought this one, fearing Chrysler will not make such a big heavy powerful car again. I bought Inferno red again and it still turns heads, especially with a new Bently front grill. I used to get a Cadillac STS every two years until 2007 when I realized this is a more beautiful car and has everything an STS has, plus much more, at a much lower price.

I have to admit, going from a highpower two seater to this monster was quite a shock. I really enjoy getting out of a vehicle unwrinkled. I have an incredible amount of raw horsepower under the hood. I mean those fancy two seat cars are fun but no real dignity or comfort climbing in and out of one. The SRT8 not only has comfort and ease of handling but an incredible amount of space in the interior. Way to old these days to entertain in the back seat but this baby could hold an entire salesman convention party. We're talking more room in the front seat of the 300 than a Range Rover front seat.

excellent car

I traded in my 2007 SRT Design for a 09 300c SRT8 (wish I would have purchased the SRT8 to start with) the 07 was nice but the performance increase with the 6.1 Hemi is amazing. Even at 4000+ pounds this car performs! And the looks, well, I see guys driving Mercedes checking my car out while driving down the road or at stop lights. Anyone looking for a incredibly fun car to drive and one that will get you looks from everyone else, the 300C is the car, go with SRT8 if you can afford it.

Love it but second week was not good

I love this vehicle. I've got the heritage package with inferno red tintcoat so it is loaded and a real head turner. I also got a fantastic deal. I've had the car for three weeks and the second week was spent in the shop. The car suddenly stopped excelerating...over 3000 RPMs at less than 20 mph and the engine light came on. A faulty part that regulates the speed caused the car to try to shut down. It was fixed under warranty and I was told this is a one in a million defect (I hope), hence the 9 rating on build quality and reliability instead of 10. I was looking at Cadillac CTS when I came across this car. Value for the money, the 300 beats the CTS.

Fantastic car great price

Low road noise, GREAT power from the 5.7, and a delicious ride from this sexy looking car. Has all of the power of my 1970 Firebird 400 (With a rebuilt motor), and turns just as many heads. Although I have not quite hit 1,000 miles on the 300C yet, This is without question my favorite car I've ever owned. Very good turning radius for a big car. At 24 HWY MPG on a brand new car, it's not awful. In town at 16.5 could be worse.

A Dream...

Loved it... after a lady crashed in to me at 65mph on the freeway I can say the impact was not little, the car is the safest I have driven and is now out and about after a $17000 repair with original parts. I loved my 300, short after it got stolen... I will buy one again!

The 1 Reason Chrysler Should Survive!

I've loved this car since it first debuted in 2005 & now I finally have 1. It's every bit as exciting as I thought it would be. Amazing power from the 5.7 L HEMI when you need it (cylinders deactivate when cruising, so it runs like a 4 cylinder to save on fuel economy). Excellent interior quality. Awesome sounding stereo. Sexy yet menacing exterior. Quietest & comfiest ride I've ever been in. Highly reccomended & right now it's still on sale. I saved almost $15K on mine!

I'm Back for More.

I bought one of the first redsigned 2005 Jade Green 300C's in March 2004. I thought it was an unbelievable car for the $$'s. After 70,000 miles I traded it in for the 2009 300C Clearwater Blue, fully optioned. It's a handful with additional 19hp. It's a phenominal highway car. It has 2,000 miles on it. I just did a trip from Long Island to western Virginia. It averaged 24.1 miles/per gallon over 420 miles. Chrysler tweaked the MDS system so that it runs on 4 cylinders more often, even at 70 miles plus per hour, with a special "ECO" light which tells when MDS is on. The ride is plush and heavy. Made the trip in 5:52 hours averaging 71mph. The seats are so comfortable one can drive forever

Unbelievable value.

With all the discounts now offered this car is an unblievable bargain. There are many improvements over the 2007 300C which I returned after a 27 month lease. This car I bought, paying 0% financing for 36 months, with nothing down. The beauty of this car, plus the inferno red color I have, is still a head turner, even though the car first appeared in 2005. From 1995 to 2007 I leased a Cadillac STS every 2 years (6 cars). A Chrysler 300C, with options, surpasses Cadillac in every way; looks, power, performance, and most all, price. Regarding fuel economy, you can't expect a large heavy V8 to be fuel efficient.

Recently went from an 06 300C to an 09 300 LTD. While leaving the Hemi was disappointing the interior upgrades and overall ride are better. The LTD is missing electronic steering adjust, memmory seats and back up sensors but has better leather, LCD radio, nicer console with plentiful wood trim, soft leather covers on console and doors and other nice touches. The real disapointment is in the smoothness of the 3.5 engine. While I knew the performance would be avaerage, it is not tight and balanced like other notable V6 engines. The 6cyl and Hemi produce equivalent mpg. Overall I'm satisfied but would love to drive an 09 Hemi with improved hp. HP is a big part of the luxury and identity.
