Lawanda G

Great car great price! It feels like a luxury car at a midsize price.

My Chrysler 300 is very comfortable to drive. It has a smooth ride and acceleration. The radio is too notch and I really enjoy all the little extras such as remote start, heated and vented seats. I love the backup camera. My only complaint is there is a blind spot on both of the side mirrors.

Kayd M

Massive rims, a lot of power, makes it feel like I am driving on air.

It is awesome, drives really smooth and has everything I want in a car. Chrysler 300s have been my dream cars since I was a small child and I definitely was not disappointed when I finally purchased one. All of the added benefits are just the icing on the cake.

Keith D

Get a Chrysler 300s in any year.

This is the most best built American made car there is I would recommend it to anyone. The dealership I service it when makes everything even better they are very knowledgeable and they look out for you when you bring your vehicle in for service. Get you one too.

Makes my long commute more like a mini vacation!

It is a very comfortable drive with all the extras to make a long drive very relaxing. The touchscreen and wireless connectivity is very user friendly and has everything needed to be a totally hands free drive. The sound system is excellent whether you like talk radio, sports, or music. The navigation is better than I have ever had in the past. The screen in the driver's dashboard is awesome so I do not even have to turn towards the radio to know who is calling or where my next turn is, it displays directly in front of you. The extras in this vehicle lets me know what I will be looking for in all my future vehicles.

Jessica S

Love the luxury for the price!

Love the bells and whistles on my car. Love the weather alerts, super convenient! Cooled seats help cool it off quick too!

Cristina P

My car is awesome because the it has extra features that regular cars do not.

My vehicle is honestly one of the best cars I have ever owned. I love how it heats up the steaming wheel, perfect for the cold winters in my state. I also like how you can remote start it and also I am always leaving my keys inside my car ( the key comes off the actual hanging part so it happens) as soon as I lock the door and close it my car beeps and unlocks the doors! Is not that just amazing! Perfect for a space head like myself.

Jodel E

The best feature of my car is my whole surround system is beats by dre.

I have had my Chrysler 300 for 2 1/2 years now. I have driven almost 100,000 miles on it, and it has done amazing for me! The only thing major that has happened is I had a coil that went out which caused my engine to misfire. The performance is amazing! Takes off with such ease! The smoothest ride ever! The interior is clean looking, but a classy touch! You can never ever go wrong with this car!

Sunroof, backup camera, heated seats, heated steering wheel.

Chrysler 300 is fully loaded and all the bells and whistles. Never had a problem to this date. Only has 33,000 miles and it rides beautiful. The engine on this car is v8 and it has the power. It has seat warmer on the driver side and the passenger side too. I have a camera for backing up and that is nice. It has a screen to block the sun on the back window. And it is computerize with a one touch button on my car dash. It is considered a luxury sedan automobile. Very comfortable to ride and all these wonderful and neat features on this car. It is 4 door and white exterior with black interior. Got a sunroof too. I can use my phone to start the car or unlock. It also revealed the problems on the car. For example, tire pressure, oil, and or anything that is wrong it will show. Oh by the way, it has heated steering wheel and heated seats. I love my car.

Gloria S

An average car with its problems.

Ac constantly breaks, and blows hot air instead of cold. Things usually go wrong with the engine but things like the breaks and other stuff is fine. Overall car is average. Gets you by and through the days surely takes work but it is whatever. I would have chosen a better car if I could go back in time.

Peter S

It has lasted 18 years with minimal repairs.

It runs smoothly.. Its small but runs very well.. 5 seats people nice.. White color.. Seats are very comfortable and I always feel happy while driving it.

J M

Just a nice road car if you do a lot of traveling.

No problem with car just isn't kind of car we usually by. A good road car. Seats not very comfortable but a ok car. Nice car if you like a nice road car. If it was my kind of car I would buy another one. Rides well, has a nice stereo system. Seats 5 comfortable has a good cooling and heating system.

Lex M

Very pretty car, would spend more on an upgraded Chrysler 300 looking back.

Very good looking car on the inside and out! Very nice inside with heated seats. Only things I have found I do not like about the car are that they are rear wheel drive and terrible in the snow. And that there is no safety control with car staying on for hours with key fob out of car.

Angie G

It's extremely roomie. Fits two teenagers and a convertible car seat in the back seat supe comfortably.

It's a great dependable car but the problem is that it's too big and goes through a ton of gas I wish it had a smaller engine but on the plus side it fits my two teenagers and a toddler car seat perfectly.

Alison N

Chrysler: what do you think?

I love this car but the seats have worn out very quickly. Nice space and just what I was looking for but I think I have outgrown this vehicle and my family needs something more suited for us. I recommend this car for a small family however not for a larger family.

Nikaela A

One highlight is that it is really pretty.

I have a black Chrysler 300 with it is original wheels, I am not really a car owner but it is electronical stuff I am not used to lol, I love the leather seats and the navigation system, the plugs really help me out. My brakes need changed but other than that.

Winifred B

Chrysler 300 is a terrific car.

I can speak to only the used car version. For a use car I cannot relate to having a problem. The performance is in good standing, the right is smooth. Features, for the most part looks good, and no issues I have seen. Comfortable ride to places I have to go, for me, speaking as a used car owner, there’s no reason cast doubt about the Chrysler 300.

Ashley R on June 24, 2021

Comfortable enough for road trips.

Could use a little more room but other than that it is great. Rides smooth. Is not a gas hog, which is perfect for me because I like to travel and take road trips. Drove it 15 hours before stopping so it is comfortable enough for road tripping so long as you take healthy breaks.

Whitney W on June 18, 2021

My car is black with leather interior and a sunroof. My kids love the sunroof.

I love my car overall. When I first got it I had to change the radiator because it was cracked from sitting through the winter but it was still in good running condition. I paid a total of 600 for repairs but they were worth it. I replaced my head gaskets because one was leaking.

Pros from Owners

Keith D.

The cabin space, backup camera, leather seats with warmer. The car drives smooth and has good power with the standard V6 engine. It looks amazing and has had no issues following the recommended maintenance schedule. The battery being in the trunk area was a good idea on keeping it away from the engine heat which being in the south is a huge thing.

Christopher W.

Handles well, smooth drive, powerful, good interior and features, good gas mileage. Larger car feels safe. Good visibility while driving. Comfortable seating. Good color and body options for the car. Good technology used in the vehicle.

Sally M.

The pros are that it has Bluetooth engagement it also has a cloth interior that does not get hot in the sun. It also has loud stereo with clear sound for music. It also has smooth steering and great brakes for flawless driving.

Morgan B.

Up to date interior and vehicle accessories. I love the white interior in the car and the black finish. The touch screen for the car radio is also a pro. Oh and the full length sunroof is one of my favorite parts of my car.

Cons from Owners

Keith D.

The tires wear out fast. The back leg room should be extended especially if you have a taller driver. The seats should be cooled as well. Memory seats and mirrors should be a standard feature and the navigation system should be compatible with your phone like google maps since the roads constantly are being changed it's a rip off in attempting to complete the update yearly.

Christopher W.

It is a larger vehicle so it can be difficult to maneuver or park for inexperienced drivers. It has more power than a lot of similar sized vehicles so not so good for new drivers. It is a heavy car so turning feels kind of like a boat sometimes.

Sally M.

I do not have any I love the vehicle so much. I love everything about the way it drives and the features that are so new and updated. I have no complaints at all about my car. It is one of my smartest purchases I have ever made.

Morgan B.

I know other Chrysler's have a beats system in the car as the base model, and I would have loved for my car to have come with beats speakers. It is kind of hard staying mindful that the car is lower to the ground than my last car, but that is okay.

Is The 2016 Chrysler 300 A Good Value?

I purchased my Chrysler 300 for under $20,000. It is loaded with more options than I need. I am very pleased with the value so far.

Jamie T.

It cost me around 36000 and it was a good value for what I bought. Because it is a quality vehicle that I trust.

Katrina B.

When I bought mine it came up to 30k with extended warranty. I feel that it should have shopped around for the extended warranty however it was a good deal for me at the time.

Keith D.

It cost less than my Cadillac CTS, but more than my Chevrolet Impala. I would consider it to be a very good value.

Mariah A.

Excellent value. My 2016 had 13,000 miles was priced in the low 20s. Nice low profile honeycomb rims, moon roof and uses regular gas.
