2006 Chrysler 300C consumer reviews

I own a 2006 300C, I have put 36,000 miles miles on it with no problems. This car has been very reliable and an absolute joy to drive. Turn the traction control off and the hemi power brings out the teenager in you! This vehicle also gets 25 mpg hwy which is unbeleivable considering the ponies under the hood. I have also driven it thru 2 nasty winters and found with 2 blizzaks on the rear it will go thru just about anything. The traction control is spot on and will not let the car get away from you. The heated leather seats and over all interior is comfortable and very well appointed. If you are looking for a full size sedan stop your search and go out and drive one, it will bring the teenager out in you!

The vehicle is snappy with all the space and luxury you can imagine. The vehicle gets impressive mpg with a 5.7L Hemi. I like having the 340 hp get-up-and-go while knowing my family is safe and comfortable.

Its get up and go is so nice and the interior is very luxurious. Its an all around good car, the gas mileage is good for its size and weight, and the 340/425 hp 5.7 liter v-8 is something nice to see under the hood.

At first I was shocked by the styling of the 300 after getting accustomed to the jelly bean shape of cars that has been recently used. Then I remembered the cars of the mid 1960s: Galaxie, Fury, etc and saw that this is what they meant. And I looked up pictures of early to mid 1960s Plymouths, Dodges and Chryslers and saw how many design features were used in the 300. The wife and I drove several cars before buying, but the 300 was the standout. We bought the C (the car with the 5.7 L HEMI). The MDS makes it a six cylinder in practice (sometimes a V8 and sometimes a V6), so the MPG is not much different from the 3.5 L V6 and there is so much power when you need it. It has quite comfortable leather seating (fronts heated), dual climate controls. The back seat has plenty of leg room. One place that could have used some more room is the trunk. It is smaller than the very large one in our Intrepid, but still big enough. The rear seat backs fold down completely, so there is room for lots of stuff. Two things about the transmission (a Mercedes desing). 1. Only the dealer can check the fluid level (it's sealed), and 2. Many owners have had leaks from a 13 pin plug that goes into the transmission. It takes the mechanic about 15 minutes to fix, and they all have leaked while under warranty. The replacement ones don't seem to leak. I have seen no evidence of poor fit of interior or exterior, it is put together really well. Handling is superb for something so big.

Buy it ! First time since I first received my license that I'm so excited to get behind the wheel! I'm 25 with 2 kids fits me perfectly. I almost purchased s SUV, so glad I didn't. Car gets great mileage. No complaints thus far.

I wasn't too found of American cars, but this vehicle is the best. I actually put a supercharger on it to boost the power, talk about performance. I only drive it once or twice a week, but that's my baby.

I had never owned a chrysler before. I've had two Taurus SHO's, two mustang GT's etc. This is by far the best car ever. People actually stop and stare at it. It has as much power as you'll ever need. It has exceptional handling, and you can't beat the price. The hemi is awesome to drive. My wife is always begging me to drive it...I let her...but rarely!

This is the first car i've ever owned so I cant really compare it to other cars ive owned but i've driven quite a few cars in my day. This car has all the power and sportiness of a compact race style car while at the same time, the appearance and features of a luxury car, such as a BMW or Mercedes. I get all kinds of compliments on it and its one of those kinds of cars you can be proud of pulling into a parking lot with. Smooth ride combined with speed = great car. I have very few bad things to say about this car. I rate it 9 out of 10.

NOT TOO HAPPY WITH THE QUALITY--BRAKE ROTORS AND BRAKES AT 2000 MILES--BANGING NOISE UNDER CAR IN THE REAR--3 DEALERS CAN'T FIND THE NOISE. HEADLINER FELL DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING---CAR HAS A ROUGH IDLE--DEALER SAYS THEY ALL[HEMI'S] HAVE A ROUGH IDLE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT 5200 MILES.BACK TO A DEALER AFTER NEW YEARS. IT'S A NICE CAR TO DRIVE--THE HEMI IS STRONG. I MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN A BAD ONE.

Year: 2006 Make: Chrylser Model: 300C Mileage: 5,725 One of the rarest bow ties from the 60�s was the Chevy Biscayne with the 409. Imagine with me a sedan that could transport the family to and from little league and back to work at the mil on Monday�s, which seemed to come too soon. Imagine the same sedan that could blow the doors off most anything on the road including the covenanted Mustang. Usually they came in flat black or dull white but the Biscayne was a wolf in sleeps clothing. The only hint to the otherwise plain interior was the four-in-the-flour and the tiny 409 badge on the front fenders. Those days have all been traded in for Toyota Camry�s or Ford Excursion�s. I guess everything changes in time but the formula never does. Just ask the engineers at Daimler Chrysler who dreamed an old dream, with a modern twist. As soon as you press the pedal on the right, twist is exactly what your neck will experience. Yes, I�m talking about that 340 horsepower over head valve HEMI. Yes, HEMI!!!! Now, don�t get me wrong I have never been a die-hard Mopar fan, but again the formula is hard to resist. This engine does a very good job motivating this large sedan around town. The engine is backed by a five-speed automatic that also features clutch less manual gear changes. Although you�ll seldom want to use this feature because this setup derived from Mercedes� E-Class does a great job without any user interface. The shifts are quick and precise. No large gaps in the power band here folks. The interior is not what you�d expect from an American auto maker. The lines are crisp and the materials are very easy to touch. Everything feels solid, which is what you want from a sedan that tempts to rival with competitors from over seas. One thing that doesn�t compare with import automakers of luxury cars is the sticker price. Starting just south of 30 grand for the base 300 and topping 40 thousand for the loaded 300C it�s clear that you can have the best of both worlds. There is only one thing I would change about this modern muscle sedan. That�s right; my knees are still good so I�d love to yank my own gears! Six of them preferably.
