All the bells and whistles you could ever want on a car.
My car has never had any problems. It gets great gas mileage for the size. It has all the bells and whistles you can buy in a car. It even has hot and warm cup holders in the front and back. It also has heated and cool seats. It has great comfort in the front and back. It is a nice luxury car and drives like a Cadillac.

I have a S model. Sometimes I wonder how I haven't had a ticket yet. But it also has great safety features
Where do I begin. This is the best car I have had. I has a rear view back up camera, beats by dre audio system. I have change the wheels from 20" to 22". I would recommend everyone to own a 300.

Love my car but I wish dealership had better customer service.
Only problem I have had are rotors have been replaced 3 times but break pads are still good. Causing a very annoying squealing noise navigation. Went out and dealership couldn't help or advice. Window motor went out and dealership fixed however caused a loud rattle in my door and not willing to fix.

The car is a bright red and it shines.
I haven't had any problems, and I love the car as it has style and the gas mileage is great, the seats are leather and heated. Everybody cannot tell how old it is as the style stays the same year after year. The color is red and it still looks as new as when it was bought,
accountCircle Kell S
I like that my car allows me to get a lot of friends in my car at one time.
I love the amount of space that this vehicle has and I love that I can put furniture inside with no problem. I like the fact that car has automated locks that lets me unlock my car when I am far away from it. I also like the fact that my car is able to let the seats down whenever I needed to.

My Chrysler 300 feels like a luxury limo.
Full size sedan. Comfort heated leather seats. And wheel great in winter. Not great gas mileage. I averaged about 18 mpg. It provides a luxury smooth ride and has a luxury look. A local limo place uses the same car! Problem with battery twice and it is located in the trunk so hard to get to and expensive to repair.
accountCircle Andrea E
Slick and very eye appealing.
Very smooth looking, the power is amazing. Gets up and goes when you need to. The price is fair for the type of car it is. Storage and luxury is a must and this car has it. Very comfortable ride and very good on gas mileage. I would consider this a great buy.
accountCircle Larry D D
The Chrysler is a great car and very dependable.
My Chrysler 300 is very reliable. It is a beautiful ride, smooth, relaxing and luxurious. When there's something the matter the sensors come on in the dash and let's me know what is the matter and where the problem lies. The Chrysler is very dependable and great on gas. I love that car.

Negative Owner Reviews

accountCircle Mel I
The quality is not there for the money this cost.
This car is overpriced for the quality of the car. The dash has come unstitched, the ac never works, the radio stops working, the Bluetooth has not worked in a couple of years, none of the plugs work anymore, and we keep buying tires because the back tires constantly need to be aligned. In order to fix the radio we would have to buy a $1,000.00 amp.

Motor Issues
I have a 2013 300C with only 119,000 miles and the lifters/cam now needs replaced. $4900 total repair. A dealer told me this is a common issue they are seeing. Very disappointed right now. Love the car not this!

The story of the hot wheels chy 2013 tour c.
Issues with alignment and I continuously have to replace tires the area I am from has terrible roads and this car is not fit for the harsh roads here in Arizona. Still runs fine and I haven't had any major issues so far. I do have issues with the air conditioner while sitting still so definitely need to get that looked at.

Do not have any please do not have anything to say.
Good car runs well no GPS. Have a lot of legroom. Not too bad on gas. I am not going to type anything else. I am not going to type anything else. I am not going to type anything else.

My Arvato's edition 2013 Chrysler 300.
I have owned by 2013 Chrysler 300 for a little over one year. I have not had any mechanical problems. I did have a problem with the navigation not working. Reliability has been great. I put 25k miles in one year. The comfort of the car is pretty good. It is a good full size car with decent acceleration and good reliability. I am also able to get 31 mpg on the highway. The car is not a super car with a fast engine. It is practical and I have a bumper to bumper warranty that expires in 2022.

Chrysler 300 in a nutshell
Had vehicle for three years now, was fine at first now has knocking sound whenever air is on for two long, gas mileage is basically non existent but the luxury and comfort of the vehicle is awesome the leather interior, wood grain trimmings and touch screens are excellent
accountCircle Raya F
Looking for a great reliable car, this is it.
The body of vehicle is nice. I have not had any major mechanical issues with the car. The back up camera is going out and the navigation has stopped working. When I called customer support they had me do a few things to rest it but it did not work. Other than that the car is a great car. It is actually good on gas and great on the freeway.
accountCircle Sarah L
2013 Chrysler 300 is good and safe!
My car is nice for the basic buyer. It is nothing extraordinarily luxurious, but it is reliable and works well. Sometimes the air conditioning breaks but as I live in a colder climate that is not really an issue. It is a basic car but a good car. I do recommend it.

Perfect car, for anyone, any age.
I have not had any problems with the car itself, when an issue arises, you do not have to be car smart, the car will tell you. I have never made a better decision than purchasing this car, it is the most reliable car I have ever had. From the external visuals to the comfortable internals, it is all around amazing.
accountCircle Matthew G on May 16, 2021
I love my 2013 Chrysler 300!
I love it. I just wish I did not have a base model so it had more options and features. I really wish that it had a back up camera, Bluetooth, and a sunroof. But it still has leather and heated seats along with a digital speedometer. I wish I had the 300 c with all the features including a v8 with AWD.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Blessing U.

Speed, fuel management, cost effective vehicle maintenance. The car is quite easy to maintain and durable. Dung winter when some other cars have problems with their engines, this does not. It is one of my best decisions for a car.

likeFilled Lisa E.

Drives like a luxury vehicle. Very good in winter with all wheel drive. Navigation on board and leather interior. Elegant looking car with a very roomy comfortable interior. Quiet ride keyless entry and remote start.

likeFilled Peggy B.

It has a lot of options that are for comfort of the driver like cool/heated seats, multi positions for the seat that can be programmed, dual sunroof/moonroof and rear conditioner for potential comfort of back seat passengers.

likeFilled Pam G.

They are real nice vehicles not a small car but still get 20 miles to a gallon. This is the second one I have owned the other was a 2008 model I loved it too. The only con I have is they are to low to the ground otherwise if you want a full size car it is perfect.

likeFilled Kim T.

My Chrysler 300 is not only great looking, but it is a very comfortable ride and with regular maintenance; worry free. The extras like navigation and seat heaters make it an everyday car. This is my second 300 and if they continue to make this model, I will continue to buy it.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Blessing U.

Sometimes, finding the parts for the car can be difficult. And even when I find them, they tend to be expensive. I also sometimes have issues with the dealership as they seem to fix the car using just guessing up solutions.

dislikeFilled Lisa E.

I cannot think of any cons except the rims that came with my car are peeling and the middle leather console is cracking. And if you have a large family space is limited. This car also sits very low to the ground.

dislikeFilled Peggy B.

It is expensive for repairs. Head lamp went out and it has to be replaced by dealer at the cost of $200. The rear camera goes in and out. The front sensors are touchy. Went through car wash and they were fine then they said clean. Had just been through car wash so that seemed odd, cleaned them and now it has to be serviced that can only be done at the dealer.

dislikeFilled Pam G.

It sits to low to the ground and it is easy to get a ticket because it rides smooth you do not realize how fast you are going. I wouldn't trade it for any other full size car. One thing I hate is that my iPhone will not connect in my car like it did the 2008 model I had.

dislikeFilled Kim T.

There really has not been any downsides to having my Chrysler 300. If I had to choose something it would be that because it is so large it is a bit harder to park in small spaces. But the size is also part the beauty of it.

Is The 2013 Chrysler 300 A Good Value?

I am not sure about the regular cost but mine was about $20,000. I do believe it lives up to it value.
Layna W.
The vehicle was between 30k-40k fully loaded new. Could not ask for more in its price range especially with the performer of the vehicle.
Omai G.
I paid 3,000 for my car which was a really good deal so I'd say it was definitely worth my money. I paid less than the value of my vehicle.
Alison E.
I believe we bought the car for a little over $25,000. I believe it is a good value because it has not had many big issues and it is a beautiful looking car that looks like it should cost more money.
Marisol M.
It costs about 7 thousand dollars but if you buy it used you could get it cheaper. It is a very good value.
Y H.
I cannot remember. Ours was a floor model with 4000 miles on it when we bought it. We got a good deal, but I cannot remember the total cost.
Sue K.
I don't remember how much we paid for this Chrysler, only that we felt it was a good deal at the time. We were given a good trade-in for our previous car, and had the balance paid off in less than 3... Read More
Abigail M.
It is a good value but depreciates in value quickly and not really worth the cost. It costs under 20,000 but not many options
