Very accurate review. I recently bought a 2012. It is the most fun and gratifying car I've ever owned, including my C6 Corvette. This thing is a brute in a suit. You feel like a king driving it.
I've got the Core in this model, I've put some ridiculous miles on the old girl, I'm still waiting got something to break. Everyone keeps saying, they're unreliable, I call BS on that. The thing moves like a train, and handles quite nice. If you like it, buy one, if you don't, buy a prius.

I own this exact model..... same color too. I've owned it 8 years now and still love every moment behind the wheel. Probably the finest sedan ever made by Chrysler.
If you are worried about fuel economy you should be looking elsewhere. Now if you are looking for great style and a powerful engine and drive-train look here. I just want to look good going fast, or slow!
SRT8 has more of a sporty feel with a flat bottom steering wheel, paddle shifters, and little more stiffer suspension. 300C, though performs well, is better suited more for highway cruising yet powerful. It's a true luxury car with things like supple leather, heated and cooled seats, blind spot monitoring and back-up camera. SRT8 has those too, but it's purely performance.
@person025 Sized between an E63 AMG and S63AMG but for THOUSANDS less, I think this new generation 300 makes a very favorable impression for its pricepoint. Obviously, they don't really compete for the same buyers but a 300 SRT8 owner can feel very good about their purchase.
This looks so awesome, i know the new 300 is coming to australia, but i'm not sure if the srt8 version is?.. oh god i'd snap it up in a heartbeat!!! Comfortable, powerful, and aesthetically pleasing - while i do LOVE european cars, they are priced so rediculously in Australia that cars like this make so much more sense.
Uhhhh.....i like the 1st gen with the 6.1 better....it has that boss look and to be honest....with a little work...can be just as nasty and cheaper to buy as well...but to each his own
For the fact that some group of people leave some bad comments about this car, and still mention BMW or MERC means that CHRYSLER is on top. CHRYSLER YOU ROCK!!!!!
WOW. I am extremely impressed. You can correctly predict the exact lifespan that this paticular model will endure? Every auto company on the planet needs your amazing skill!
I have a 6.1 Gen 1 300 SRT8. It has owned every single car that has taken it on so far, and with almost 200000kms on the clock it's as fast as it was when it left the factory in 2009.
It's none of those things; it's a public road on a sloping hairpin with elevation change with the traction control left on for safety. And it is a great car...a huge leap forward from the previous generation 300. And it should absolutely be taken seriously. For a legit large car with this level of tuning at a price tag half of other cars in its realm Chrysler gets an A+.
I have had two different years of the 300 and amazing. Wish they get that hellcat model out sooner. Hard to sell mine where the dealers don't advertise the lifetime warranty but it's offered. Took it so worth of keeping. Hard to trade in now but amazing and safe car
Next review state majority or all the differences between the srt8 model and the other 300 models. I wanted to also know about the stereo vs the other 300s.
Saw one of these in a showroom a few days ago that was black with the black chrome package. It looked sinister. And for the clowns arguing about fuel mileage, name me one other 500 horsepower car that can get 500 miles to a tank of fuel...these cars are amazing for what you get. NO Mercedes AMG, BMW M or Audi RS gets gas mileage even close to the SRT8's.
@ozziebob Driver error? No, in all seriousness this car handles beautifully for its size. When you're shooting on public roads you error towards safety and not killing the cameraman on the side of the road ;-)
@person025 i have never heard about chrysler wanting to be a cheap mercedes, like you say, chrysler is chrysler, no car company should try to be like another , instead have its own ways, btw mercedes are overhyped they have declined in reliability and overall material quality since the early 2000s, any i say that as a german, these new chryslers certainly don't have to hide behind anything IMO, american cars makers have certainly done a great leap forward in the past 2-3 years.
People say "American cars are a joke" These cars are so much better than those fuckin little tuner Civics with a fart can exhaust. Long live V8 power!!!
Cars like this are a dying breed. Years from now, I bet we'll look back and figure they were somehwat underestimated and underappreciated. Big, four door, V8 powered RWD American cars will soon be a thing of the past. It's a shame Ford reduced the number even smaller by axing the Town Car..
I like the car, it's like a poor man's E63 or M5. I love to see a 6 speed transmission, 5 speed is too old schooled for a car in ths price range. Keep up the good work SRT team.
Chrysler sometimes implies that it tries to give off a Mercedes-Benz quality car for a lower price. In other words, a poor mans Mercedes. Would you say this is accurate? Also, You make the Chrysler 300 SRT8 sound very refined and powerful. How closely do the two cars compare in Luxury and Performance? On a side note, the Chrysler 300 is a very stylish American car. :)
I like the SRT8s a lot but the only thing that's helping them in the fuel economy is the cylinder deactivation system. Besides that, they're fitted with the older 5-spd auto from Mercedes, but the newer AMG models are equipped with the 7-spd which give it taller over-drive ratios that help fuel economy. And the AMGs final drive gearing is always tall and taller than the ones in the SRT8, which only helps. So the srt8 won't dominate in the fuel mileage department. But not that I'd care too much!
I have also had the trunk repainted 4 times for an improperly installed spoiler (it took Chrysler techs that many times to figure it out before it stopped eating my paint). I am waiting still after 7 months on a safety recall part that still has no ETA. Last week I took the car to have two tires replaced and after repeatedly asking for the same F1 Supercar tires I currently have, I get home only to see the installed the RSAs (I should have looked at shop, but papers even said F1 tires installed)
The 300C has the standard 5.7 HEMI V8 with a good amount of hp in its own right - 363 hp. Fuel economy is a little better with cylander shutoff; its there in this 300 SRT8.
Car is a beast, luxurious and beautiful. Not you're run of the Mill Chrysler 300, not the Pentastar V6 or the Hemi V8, its better the 6.4L Hemi, rare indeed with all the V6 Chrysler 300 rolling around, it's very reliable.
Sarebbe ora di comprarla,le prestazioni sono favolosi ,motore,sospensioni,comoda xassorbire chilometri,insomma e una vettura completa.Provare x Credere!!!!!!!Certo bisogna macinare km.Ha
Funny you mention Mercedes. The AMG's and SRT's use special suspension systems. You can select sport mode, comfort, track etc. One uses generic Monroe adaptable shocks and one uses far better Bilstein units. Wanna take a guess which one your beloved Mercedes uses? Monroe lol. You're paying twice and sometimes 3 times the price for a AMG and it uses cheaper parts!! Oh but look it has 5000 useless buttons on the dash and more trinkets than a 90 year olds mantle piece. WHOA!!!
Maybe you should be more specific with your comments. "A JDM v6 can smash a v8" to any one with common sense would think you are specifically talking about engines. The ZR1 does quite well in turns, and I believe the CTS-V isn't too shabby itself showing many high end 4 door imports its tail lights in the turns. I'm not a fan of most american cars interior quality, but it has gotten much better over the past 10 years.
Not a kid, and you're not gonna like this part. Nag1 is a 100% Mercedes Benz transmission. Ouch....thats gotta hurt lol. They had a few issued with the SHIFTER mechanism (plastic part) malfunctioning in the EARLY cars but the trans has indeed been rock solid. I've been with these cars since they came out and there are plenty pushing over 1000 WHP on the stock trans in 9-second cars. YOU do some research
The cars comfortable, its old now though but never breaks down. The only thing i have to say bad about it is that the clutch isnt as smooth or forgiving as other cars. I would get the 300 because it looks and probably drives good, but i wouldn't expect reliability on the same leval as other cars. The mileage is probably the only real thing stopping me ever getting this car. The honda is almost 4x as efficient, and its ten years old. It afles the mind why this car gets so little mileage
wanna hear something great? theirs a car dealership that i pass by on my way to work everyday that has the diablo but i'm in tennessee where not many people can afford one plus how much the dealership wants to sell it for...
Recalls, Safety Ratings The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA, has issued the following recalls for the 2005-2010 Chrysler 300: 2005: Recalls include a loose battery cable that could result in fire, and a poor spot weld on the back seat floor that could result in the seatbelt anchor giving way. 2005-2008: Recall for possible transmission problem resulting in failure to shift gears. 2006: Recall for 300s with the 2.7-liter V6 due to possible braking issues
i can`t believe how appealing this car is!, i`d never thought i`d say it, but i guess chrysler has both mercedes amg's as well as bmw m's with this one as far as i`m concerned. greetings from germany.
@Projective That's actually pretty impressive given that this engine can be had for just $45,000 in the Challenger SRT8. No European car can even come close to 470 hp for that price, and only Mercedes can offer the low-end torque offered by an American V8. The Aston Martin DB9 uses a 6.0L V12 making 470 hp. Dodge can give you that same power and more torque for 1/5 the price and with 4 fewer cylinders. The C63 AMG only makes 450 hp from a 6.3 liter V8 and costs twice as much as the Dodge.
as a possible analogy i`d say this, the charger srt8 is a U.S. marine in his battle utility uniform, while the chrysler 300 srt8 would be a U.S. marine in his evening dress uniform :)
visually and what i have heard so far this car is more appealing to me than any of the german luxury sport saloons, the mercedes amg's, bmw m's or audi s models, plus these would turn more heads here in germany as they have a distinctive american stance and design.

I still have my 2012 SRT8. I got 80k miles on her. Man can she still run like a beast. I also have a Mopar Life Time warranty on her too.
what size tires does it come with?
I have 275 40 20 at all 4 corners on my 3 300's. You can put bigger ones on them but I just like the ride that those size have.
It'll pass anything except a gas station.

Yup ... not about sh*t... traded it in a year later... too many problems... depreciation tanked the cost... went to a maxima... which i love

I drove the 300s which is just a v6 and the acceleration was insane i was surprised how fast I could reach 120. I cant imagine the srt8
