Chrysler 300C saloon (2005-2010): owner reviews

“Menacing and powerful, Chrysler's 300C is great value for money, if a little short on interior quality.”

The car was relatively trouble-free until recently when it developed an intermittent starting/running fault. Main dealership took weeks to diagnose a faulty airflow meter. Also brake wear is heavy.

The very best car i have ever owned, i would be happy to buy a new same model car in the future. I would also be very impressed if chrysler produced a convertible 300c and would be straight round to the dealer to order one.

Great build quality; presume to being built in austria. Bags of space, comfort, pace and road presence. Intrigued about the replacement model and due to be built in the usa, but would definately buy another if quality consistant.

This is the best car we have ever owned, we have had from econemy to full blown twin turbo sports cars and this one is by far the best at everything you could ask for

Fast, comfortable, unusual. Enjoy the fact that they are quite rare. Seats not as comfortable as my previous volvo v70 - but they were rated as the best ever by auto express survey. Would prefer more dynamic handling, but it gives a better ride than my last volvo. Some interior fittings are not as high quality as pervious bmws, volvos or jaguar, but then the its cost was less. Overall v pleased with the 300c - i will see if it proves to be as reliable as my last two volvos.

Best car ever for style , quality, performance, and pride of owning a dream car for someone of my age and budget. If chrysler ever produce and sell a convertible 300c in the uk, i would sell my soul for one. I am 65 years old not exactly slim but had lots of nice cars and motorbikes , but always on a budget ... so value for money is very important .

I love my car, it is great to drive. The only problem that i have had was last august when the car needed the swirl motor replacing. My local dealer meridien wouldn't do it under warranty but coarse & beecham, the southampton dealer did replace it under warranty

Other than track rod end under warranty, absolutely reliable and a lovely easy car to drive - even to drive quite fast on twisty roads. Only drawback is harsh suspension that sounds (rather than feels) unhappy over our worse road surfaces.
