Pros: What do you like about 2005 Chrysler 300-Series?
I have had my 2005 limited edition for 3 yrs . It is silver with dark tinted Windows and beautiful 20in rims.

I loved every time I walked up to this car to get in. It feels rich and classy.

I love how safe I feel in this car which is very important when you have a baby riding in the backseat.

Never had to replace a thing on this 6 yr old car. But then again it only has 45 k miles on it. For the money you cannot find a better car.

It's a big car both inside and out.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler 300-Series?
The visibility isn't that great. The windows are small and it looks good from the outside just very hard to see out of them from the outside. I can't believe more people don't complain about this issue.

The other thing is its huge turning radius. Hard to park. Don't take curbs very well at all.

It feels very heavy so it make it feel not so powerful but it's a big heavy safe car. Unless you get the SRT, don't expect a lot of power.

The other thing is I hate how everyone has one. They are freaking everywhere.

These cars only look good when they have 20 in rims or bigger.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Chrysler 300-Series?
The overall looks and the substantial feel of the car.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler 300-Series?
I've got the Touring edition and I'm surprised at the lack of options, for example, automatic headlights, stereo controls on the steering wheel, and power passenger seat. (My 98 Buick LeSabre had those!)
And I don't care for the odd placement of the cruise control stalk hidden behind the steering wheel.

2005 Chrysler 300-Series Review:
I'm happy with the Touring edition, but the next one will have to be the Hemi C to get all the options I'm used to.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Chrysler 300-Series?
Everything about the engineering in my car is excellent.
I've not had one problem since I've had my car (6 years).

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler 300-Series?
The front glass could be a little higher because when I stop at a red light, I have to bend down to see the light. My luxury package is excellent except the leather seats could have been a better grade.

2005 Chrysler 300-Series Review:
I have the LIMITED SERIES and over all I made a very good buy when I got this car and there is still nothing out there that matches in my opinion.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Chrysler 300-Series?
Nice big car, lots of room.
Power seats and sunroof are nice but are available on most other cars.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler 300-Series?
Completely redesign front suspension.
Base model stereo very underpowered.

2005 Chrysler 300-Series Review:
When car was bought it had 46000km, it now has 100000. I have had this car for 2 years and have replaced front suspension twice (not too impressed with Chrysler on this one), and it still knocks, I mean I replaced everything. In the winter with the heater on and windows up you can hear air being sucked out around the top of drivers door. The third brake light quit working a year ago (problem is in wiring). Stereo cuts in and out with volume at 23 or above.
I have had nothing but problems with this car and recommend anyone reading this to reconsider buying one. Can't wait until it's paid for so I can burn it.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Chrysler 300-Series?
Power.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler 300-Series?
Improve transmission shifting.
Relocate cruise control switch.
Eliminate automatic wipers.

2005 Chrysler 300-Series Review:
It has a comfortable ride and plenty of power, however, it shifts like a Peterbilt and tends to slam into gear if you abruptly take your foot off the accelerator while under full power.

In addition, when I put the driver's window up it frequently goes back down on its own. The steering tends to sway at highway speed.

The Chrysler has enormous power that's built into the technology of a go-kart. I think the 4.1 overall review is generous.

If this wasn't my company car I would never drive one.

I have a 300 awd 3.5 l. It is super winter time, it rides and handles excellent. It has lots of room, very comfortable car.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler 300-Series?
Improve the gas mileage, get rid of the knocking in the front end. Lower the price on some replacement parts.

2005 Chrysler 300-Series Review:
Great looking car in royal blue with tinted windows, my wife and I love the car.

Very nice highway car.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler 300-Series?
City driving is horrible. Rattles on top of rattles such as roof liner. Dash. Mystery trunk rattle or maybe rear susp. Dealer can't find anything. They tell me maybe it will get worse and they will find it then. Until then I am going out of my mind every time I drive this car.

On top of all that engine uses 2 liters of oil in 5000klm. Dealer informed me that Chrysler Canada knows of the oil problem and don't think it is a problem at all. They fail to tell you this before you buy the car..

2005 Chrysler 300-Series Review:
Telling you this before you buy it.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Chrysler 300-Series?
I have a 300 Ltd. edition with the 3.5 V-6 and I like the smooth, comfortable ride.

Good road holding power even in the rain due to the Michelin Hydroedge tires.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler 300-Series?
Reduce the oil burning at 1 quart per 2000 miles.

Mileage is only 50,000.

Give the V-6 more power even though the max torque comes in at 3800 rpm and the max horsepower at 6800 rpm. No red line on the tach.

2005 Chrysler 300-Series Review:
Great looking car, eye triner specially in the Cool Vanilla, sunroof, adjustable pedals, Boston Acoustics stereo and heated seats. Fun car to drive. If I drive it prudently on the highway I can get 35 m.p.g.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Chrysler 300-Series?
I have owned a lot of different vehicles, and usually trade about every 14 months, but I have not been able to find another vehicle that I have been this impressed with to actually keep over 3 years and don't plan on replacing it anytime soon. The 300C has great performance and style and in 43,000 miles has had very little maintenance costs, for a vehicle its size and power I can usually expect around 25 mpg on the highway which I think is very acceptable.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler 300-Series?
None.
