"Got a 2006 300 a few months ago and love it. I if buying one stay clear of the 2.7 base model because it is dangerously underpowered for the size and weight of the car. I got the 3.5 touring and am really happy with the power and i dont have to spend $100 a week in gas as i would expect in the hemi. If shopping around go with the limited though it gives you the 3.5 engine with all the luxury of the hemi editions. its my only regret."

"My 300 is the best car ever !!! I have so much leg and head room, and I'm a tall woman. The gold color is beautiful, although all of the 300's colors are very nice, and the shiny rims set it off !!! If you're looking for a great, reliable, stylish car, test drive a Chrysler 300. You'll love it !"

"I own the 300. I like it so much if I could aford a new car it would be a New 300. The only dislike is not all options are available on all models. Also the cruse controll should be in the steering wheel for ease of use."

"I bought a 2006 limited 3.5 V6 with 32k Miles on it. The look sold me the car. First thing i changed the tires to Michelin Hydro Edge, much better permance, more quiet, better gas mileage. Don't buy the car if you have back problems. The seats are hard and uncomfortable, the Navigation complicated to use. On the highway smooth ride, disappointing gas mileage in town around 15 maybe 17 with being careful with the pedal. At 40k Miles the AC broke, first the evaporator, a day later the compressor, Chrysler wants $ 2.000, found a place who "only" burned me a $ 1.250 whole in my wallet. They told me a very common problem at around 40k miles, so check out the the AC before buy used or purchase a extended warranty. Chrysler was not willing to help out with the repair cost even the car was 1 month and 4.000 miles out of warranty. Only small things to fix, the cheap interior plastic rattles here and there a little bit. I think the maintenance cost for this car a to high, not to mention the repair cost. Overall a real head turner with some chrome and a nice grill."

"Almost nothing to criticize...I loved this car. I did find the seats a bit hard and wished I got better than 20-21 mpg. Other than that, style, quality and engineering made me a big fan."

Sporty Change from Buick LeSabre

"I just traded my 2004 Buick LeSabre for a 2006 Chrysler 300 Touring about 3 weeks ago. So far so good. I did give up a lot of options that I had with my Buick due to the fact that I had the top of the line Celebration Edition. I was a little worried at first but the Chrysler styling and firm feel on the road has put my mind at ease. I have been a strong GM person for years and reluctantly bought a 2005 Chrysler minivan about 3 years ago for my wife when we had our first son. I think the quality has come a long way with Chrysler and have felt comfortable enough with my wife's minivan that I was ready to go all the way Chrysler this time. The quality is there and this is a hard car to beat for the money. I travel between 100 to 250 miles a day with my job and needed something comfortable, professional and dependable. This car fits the bill and I have received several compliments already. I did however, lose a couple of miles per gallon in the economy department. My Buick always averaged 25 MPG. This car is around 22 MPG. The sporty feel and handling make up for the lack of efficiency though. I recommend this vehicle."

"The car looks amazing both inside and out. It has plenty of great features. It has a high quality feel. It is reliable, and even with a just a v6 engine it is more than powerful enough (if you need more power, go with the HEMI v8). Better than any of its Japanese/Korean competition BY FAR. Better value for your money than the German makes as well. I enjoy driving this car everyday...there's a sense of pride you get from owning such a fine machine that you don't quite get from owning a Toyota, or a Hyundai, for example. Do not hesitate."
