2005 Chrysler 300 consumer reviews

i tried this car several times and found it is good. it also has postive infromation from the carfax!

While my car is 5 almost 6 years old, I have done nothing but regular maintenance and it runs great. I do not have the hemi and get 27 mpg regularly. So, I do love this car and am now getting itchy to get a newer model. It is tough as I have the Signature model and they did not make a lot of them. To find another will be tough.

although a great looking car with a comfortbale ride and interior it is my experience that this first generation model did not have the bugs worked out of it. I purchased the vehicle used and have had nothing but problems with it. I have had issues with the headlights the entire time I have owned it (3 yrs) The headlights have been "fixed" 4 times but still don't work however the last two times i have had it in the shop they have been unable to find the problem and have basically told me i have to live with a luxury automobile whose headlights will randomly turn off while driving down the road. The alignment has also been worked on many times to no avail. The transmission has also had issues although car only has 52,000 miles on it. For the money I paid for this vehicle I have been thouroughly dissappointed in its reliability and performance.

Excellent car for the money, 3.5 v6 gets 23 solid mpg average, for a car this size , large doors easy in and out runs like a top

My favorite thing about the car is the looks. There is no other car like it. However, I do have problems with the insides of the car. The air conditioner does not work, I get the a/c gassed up and about a week later, it will leak out, causing no cold air. Also, it burns oil. About every 1500 miles I have to add at least a quart of oil. And the transmission slips. At times, I will have gas pedal down, but all car does is shake and sputter until all of a sudden it will just take off. I never know when this will happen, so I am cautious of taking a road trip. And last, my check engine light has been on for over a year. The car looks good, but unfortunately Chrysler needs to improve the "guts" of the car.

I bought the 2005 convertible almost as soon as they hit the streets and it's been the most reliable and fun car I've owned. Everything on the machine works as advertised and some of the technical aspects... such as the convertible top operation is mind-boggling, it's so well designed. I now have 45,000 miles on the Crossfire and nothing has malfunctioned thus far. It's also proven to be quite economical; getting slightly better gas mileage than I expected: 21 mpg in town and 28 mpg on the road. I have the auto stick and it's a superb transmission! Handling and brake operation are as good as any car I've ever driven. I live in the south and am able to drive the car with the top down the great majority of the time and it's a real head-turner. I still have people stroll up at gas stations and ask, "What is that thing?" With the top up there is surprising trunk space; quite roomy. The peppy Mercedes V-6 engine has power galore, great acceleration, and has yet to burn a drop of oil? In fact, my mechanic and I have agreed to lengthen the time between oil changes because the old oil is so clean! About my only criticism is a poorly designed cup holder and it's just about unusable. All in all, this vehicle was one of my better moves and I still love driving the little bombshell. I recommend the car highly.

Bought new 2 years ago, this car has performed exceptionally with a smooth comfortable ride both around town and on highways. 28 Mpg highway as advertised when air not in use, otherwise around 22 Mpg city or highway with air. V6 has plenty of passing power and transmission works smoothly. Safety restraint system netted an unexpected insurance premium reduction. Very large trunk handles weekly grocery shopping, traveling luggage and golf bags with room to spare. Fold down back seat gives easy access to things immediately behind in trunk. I would recommend this car to anyone that wants a stylish roomy comfortable means of transportation that is a pleasure to drive.

I have the touring model and its features where good but it just doesnt have the torque of the hemi, but the v-6 engine performs very well. Besides these I love this car from the considerably low price to the spacey interior. The exterior is very masculant and sharp which I love. Handling is great and the trunk space is phenomenal. All in all, I think this car will suit anyone looking for a timeless appearance and reliable automobile.

Return if you will to the muscle car era of the late 60s. THis car is a blast to drive and is as quick and nimble as I've driven for way too long. Coupled with the hemi is a beautiful body style and huge wheels. You owe it to yourself to at least test drive one of these.
