"Borrowed a 2001 300m after my car was totaled. The overall driving experiance is not what I expected from a "top of the line" model. As other reviwers have noted, the amount of road noise is excessive. Twice as loud inside on the interstate as my 99 buick lesabre limited. There aren't sterring wheel mounted controls for the the radio, and it uses much more gas than the buick does on the highway where the buick gets low 30s and the 300m is hard pressed to get above 27. The buick has a lively feel from and stop and the 300m seems to labor to get going even though the buick is older and has almost 20k more miles on it. The comfort in the drivers seat is hard to achieve. While I am greatful to be able to use this 300m I would not buy one."

"I purchased a 2001 300M with 58,000 miles on it so that I didn't have to continue to commute to work with my 2004 Dodge 1500 quad-cab hemi. This car is very comfortable, has any and every option needed (and then some), and is very economical. I am averaging 20.2 MPG in mixed driving over an 18 mile each way commute. The car suffers from an occational ruff idle and once in a while is difficult to start. However, plugs and coils are original, so I'll change those soon. Car is a bit noisier than I would have expected, but is a pleasure to drive. Feels larger than it is and can easily fit four golfers and clubs."

"Best car I ever owned. If I could buy another new 2001 Chrysler 300M I would in a minute. The car is fun to drive, interior controls are very intuitive and I think the design is exceptional."

"We bought our '01 300M in March'07 with 33000 miles, it was basically still new. We now (Nov'08) have 78000 miles on it and have had no mechanical problems at all. My husband loves the autostick feature, it comes in handy when travelling through the Rocky Mountains. Commuter mileage to/from work (combo of country highway driving and in-town driving) is around 22-23mpg. On highway trips it gets 26-27mpg. It is a little hard to see out of. And, true to Chrysler tradition, the road noise in the cabin is louder than what we'd like, even with new tires (we also have a '94 LHS with the same road noise issue,). It's by no means a super-quiet ride. But, it's a comfortable ride, we take several 700-1000 mile trips each year, and I really like the radio buttons on the back of the steering wheel, and also the trip center (mpg, miles driven, distance to empty, etc). It has plenty of horsepower and zip, with the 3.5 250hp high output V6 engine. It gets up to highway speed in no time. Thank goodness for cruise control, or we'd be in trouble with speeding tickets! Sorry to see the body style end, as neither of us care for the newer 300C or 300 body style."
