Excellent performance and good gas mileage for a larger sedan.

I have been fortunate. No problems except having a censor replaced recently. Roomy and more comfortable than most.

Tracey T

My likes and dislikes of my Chrysler 300.

I have had a lot of issues with rotors and calipers. Other than that, I love the car. The seats are comfortable, and easy to clean. The car is very spacious and fits a family of 5 in comfortably. It gets great gas mileage and ride really smooth. I love that it came with window tint to protect the leather seats.

Kurt t

It's comfort. It's handling. It's gas mileage

Very comfortable vehicle to drive. Has good handling. Gas mileage for this vehicle is ok. The only knock I can give it is it had early engine troubles.

James F

The Gladiator of cars the Chrysler 300.

My chrysler 300 is very comfortable. It has heated seats for driver and passenger. It also has a sunroof, with driver and passenger air condition temperature controls. Self adjusting high beams, cruise control, disc brakes front and back, a spacious trunk, alarm system, FM and Am cd radio with screen display for gpc and control buttons for seat adjustments. Very good car. Good on gas if regular oil changes are performed. Good for long trips. All around good car.

2009 Chrysler 300 comfort all around.

I love how roomy the vehicle is. The gas mileage is not the best but with a bigger tank you definitely get your money's worth. It is a very comfortable sedan. Whether driving or a passenger I would give it a 9 in comfort. Although it is a bigger sedan than most the speed of the vehicle is great. It is a slow take off but once you get going it is such a smooth ride.

I have no highlight or interesting detail with the car.

The vehicle is good. I had no problem with it. Performance of the car is outstanding. The seat is very comfortable. The features are nice. There is a lot of space in the back of the car that good for traveling or just going to get grocery. Reliability of the car is good.

I think of my car as a power packed beast.

I love my Chrysler 300C with a Hemi motor. It has a lot of power for the size of the car and I can get somewhere pretty quickly. I also like the leather seats power seats and the big trunk. It is a nice big car, though it doesn't seem to have a lot of legroom in the back of the front seats are back comfortably far enough for long legged people like my husband and I.

Ruben R

My car is the nicest and newest car I've ever had.

It's pretty. Drives fast. Stereo is loud. Decent gas mileage.

Diana D

Good car gets the job done but has a recall on it!

When I first purchased this car is was used. It was in good condition. It drives pretty smooth and does the job. The only downside I have had so far is a recall on the airbags! I haven't went to get it fixed yet but it has not caused me any problems yet. I don't really like when a car has a recall because then I have to car to the car dealership and make time for it and wait 'til it gets done!

Sharon S

The car has a nice ride, very comfortable and gets good gas mileage.

In 2014, with just 65k mileage, our engine blew up. Investigating the issue that caused this we found that Chrysler 300 has a history of this happening due to an oil pressure component that is defective. We sue Chrysler, and they replaced the motor. Other than that, I love it.

Jeanne B

Smooth ride but low profile vehicle.

It is a comfortable ride that does not allow a lot of road noise in. But it is very low to the ground and tends to get stuck on parking curbs. The trunk is huge so traveling is very easy, even with more than one full size suitcase. And there is plenty of room for everything else inside the back seat.

Jesse L

Reliable day to day automobile.

Very reliable, good gas mileage, only problems are minimal (a/c is not the best), does not have a lot of flashy features (CD player, AUX input, automatic windows and car locks).

Joseph L

My car gets far too hot in the sun.

My car runs smoothly still and parts for it are widely available online, so if I ever did have any issues, it wouldn't be too costly or irreparable. I think my vehicle is a good car to own as both a first car and a long term vehicle. The Chrysler 300 is a wonderful purchase to make, and you won't regret the longevity of this car.

That it is an American car and it fits my personality

I like the body and size. It is very luxurious. It is also an American car.

A very reliable vehicle - if you don't drive it in snow!

The problem I have is getting around in snow - the car gets stuck very easily. The sound quality of the radio is also pretty poor - and it doesn't get very loud, but that doesn't bother me much. Other than that, it's a great car. It's very reliable all times except winter!

It drives as smoothly as it looks.

The vehicle drives very smoothly in town and out of town. The stereo system works excellently. The heating and cooling system is great too.

Pros from Owners

Daniel B.

The Chrysler 300 drives very smooth. It can comfortably fit five people in it and is good on gas for the most part. Also from an aesthetic perspective, looks like a Bentleys so it's very fashionable on top of everything.

Cons from Owners

Daniel B.

I don't know many cons. Personally it took a while to understand the heating and cooling system when starting up the car but wasn't a huge concern all things considered. Maybe it could be a little bigger.
