One of the better car
Chrysler 300 is a car worth investing as it provides a very good driving experience with performance that is of a quality class. Dashboard is attractive and functional. Legroom for a tall individual. Running costs are OK but need to be evaluated on an ongoing basis. I can recommend this car for a discerning user.

Great Car Bad Alternator
Purchased new in 2011 has 51000 miles on it. Never had any issues with this car until last Saturday. While driving not far from where we live in town we experienced a smell which indicated something was burning. Then noticed the NAV system all of the sudden had a power button on the screen with not explanation with it. Then the picture of a battery in the information section. We found a place that could check our battery and they said the alternator had quit working. We limped home and I got on line and found that there has been a safety ...Read more
recall for exactly the same symptoms with the same engine etc. Called Larry Miller Chrysler in Provo Ut. this morning they said there has been no recalls on my veh. therefore they couldn't do anything for me. Contacted Chrysler they said the same thing. What is troubling is that I pulled up a FCA letter for safety recalls on line which was a letter sent out for this issue covering the same year as out car and yet the reason they cannot do any for me is because our alternator is a 180 amp rather than 160 amp alternator. With the identical issues that which were described in the recall let that went out I have great difficulty in understanding this dilemma. It appears that until there is enough smoke and it becomes so smoky that the fire is obvious enough and a few people die on the highway Chrysler isn't interested in the individual obvious customer care concept. What a shame.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

My first V8 and Woohoo!!
As soon as I saw the 300 years ago I knew I wanted one. Well, the opportunity came financially in late 2015 so I put in an order for the revamped 8 speed SRT Core model, it was delivered to me in march 2016. Life is too short to buy another fridge on wheels.
Driving wise it's very pleasurable. As soon as I hopped in for the first time (and btw I never test drove one before buying, that's how much I knew it was MY car) I was comfortable despite never being behind the wheel of such a high powered car before. I will never tire of the burbles and ...Read more

Pure Luxury and Elegance
This car has exceeded all my expectations. The full leather interior with heated, or cold air behind the knees, seating with air conditioning controls for the rear seats are exceptional features! The rear view shade minimises the heat and automatically retracts while reversing. The drink holders can be set to cooling as well as heating. The seats can be set to two different driver specifications and has all the modern controls, including cruise control, at a touch on the steering wheel. Safety features are outstanding with 7 airbags and anti-ro...Read more
ll technology. The Chrysler has rear view and side sensors making this car with a large amount of room easy to manoeuvre with power steering. It is a smooth drive, handles extremely well with minimal noise and surprisingly takes minimal petrol considering it is such a large sedan. The best advice is to use the premium petrol as you get far more distance for the cost, making it more economical. It is a stunning car externally which commands attention. Most think the Chrysler is designed more masculine, however I have found it female friendly with hooks in the boot for groceries to stay in place, automatic headlights and even indicates on the dashboard when the tyres need to pumped, oil needs to be changed and even when it needs to be cleaned! It is an amazingly reliable car and not nearly as expensive as it looks. The only unforeseen cost has been servicing the car but is only slightly more than for a common sedan. I highly recommend this car to anyone looking for a luxury car as it has everything you could want for less cost.

Almost 3 years and still good and solid throughout
I've had the 2013 Chrysler 300c, 3.6Litre V6, 8 speed for almost 3 years now with no major problems. I drove it as a daily and on weekends too. Currently has 48,000 kms on the odometer. The acceleration is quite good from the 210kw engine. The handling is not bad for everyday roads, turns and round-abouts at normal speeds, just don't expect it to handle like a race car. Its is considerably quiet in the cabin while driving, but if you have the rear windows down only, the wind may cause a vibrating-like sound effect.
Center infotainment screen...Read more
is 8.4 inches huge. Very responsive touch screen. Very intuitive and easy to use. Plays Bluetooth, AUX, USB, SD card, CD and movies DVDs too. Voice command was poor in getting my voice commands right. I told it to play Metallica and it played Celine Dion. I told it to dial Niomi's phone and it dialed Nathan's number instead. The in-built Garmin navigator does the job but not the best. A few times I saw myself driving through a grass field and some roads where weirdly placed. A few times it seemed confused and kept re-directing even when I did not miss a turn. However I did like the extra smaller navigation arrows that appear between the cluster gauge in front of you alternatively so you didn't need to look to the center screen all the time. POI and options to call those places from the infotainment was really cool. Great for booking restaurants and hotels on the go. The leather and interior is very nice. Aluminium, wood, leather and semi-soft plastic fit together nice and tight, even after almost 3 years everything feels tight and brand new.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Beware dealing with Fiat Chrysler Australia
looks like its the same for a lot of people.
5 stars for buying the car. but if you have any issues with the car repairs and warranty issues its a 1 star, and only because there is no zero.
beware if you buy any cars of Fiat Chrysler Australia. Jeep, Chrysler, Fiat and the rest.
If you will have any issues after sales(and the odds are high you will - look at car recall by brand Australia) you will regret the day you bought the car.
I also had 5 starts service when buying the car but this is where it ends! 16 warranty issues in 12 month. s...Read more

Sadly let down constantly
I have waited what seems like a lifetime to own one of these and was the happiest kid on the block.... until it failed. Badly followed by a series of repairs and broken promises. I now am the proud owner of a horrible excuse for a car. I feel like I have made an awful mistake and there is zero support from Chrysler.
8,000 klms in and the transmission starts playing up, I report it to the dealer and they say it's software. There is a new update out soon. Three months later it's getting worse. US Chrysler is recalling cars due to valve body f...Read more
ailing causing accidents, the same symptoms my car is exhibiting. Dealer tells me it is software, the faults may be the same but it's not related. Highbeams keep switching on and off. Software update performed... problem persists. Keeps jumping forward after stopping, finally a technician at the dealer tells me he thinks it is a valve body. He is told he is wrong and it is software. Finally escalate to Chrysler head office and they inform me it was approved for valve body replacement months before. I call the dealer and am told it will have to be ordered. Eight weeks later and it is repaired. This whole process is now 9 months. Drive my car onto the freeway leaving the dealer and it loses all power... oncoming traffic during peak hour. I call the dealer... software issue. Will take a few hours to learn the new transmission configuration. OK. If it gets worse come back Monday after the weekend and they will check it.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

SRT8 is great
I owned a 2013 model SRT8 Cheysler 300, it was a beast in a Tux which is the best way to describe it! For the price it must be the best bang for buck, plus most luxurious! 0-100 in 5 seconds easy! The only reason I traded mine was to get a 4x4. Only downfall is a bit on the thirsty side and only sips 98, shame its not E85 compatitable. Had a couple of little issues with engine warning light to start with, but was an easy fix by Chrysler under warranty! I bought mine new and had it for a very enjoyable year!

2013 300c
I purchased a 2013 300c 3.6 v6 8 speed auto new last year and its ok but not great. It's a good looking car and doesn't go unnoticed but it's not a BMW or MERC and nowhere near it. The ride is not as smooth as it could be and every bump in the road can be felt also the seats are very stiff even though I have them on the softest possible setting. Fuel consumption is around 13 litres/ 100k around town and 10 litres / 100k highway cruising which is not bad for a 1.8 ton vehicle. I suspect the vehicle will start falling to pieces when it's a bit older so I will be trading it in next year.

All the gadgets but no refinement
The car I drove was the 3.6L model. It had 30,000kms on the clock. I'll start with the styling, and to be fair I've never been a fan of Chryslers ostentatious, over the top styling. The metallic maroon was a nice color, it's a shame the positives stopped there. I will say it is an improvement over the previous shape.
Stepping inside the car, the seats were reasonably comfortable and provided plenty of adjustment. One feature I liked, which I am yet to come across on another vehicle is the cooled seats. The brake pedal was the first thing tha...Read more
t stood out to me as being horribly wrong. Why is it at such a great distance from the firewall/floor in comparison to the accelerator. This is very poorly thought out from a safety point of view, requiring greater distance of movement of the right foot before being able to apply the brakes. Controls for the audio system and climate control were not intuitive and required a bit of practice before I was able to get the hang of it. It's a shame all manufacturers haven't adopted something as simple as the iDrive system. Upon turning the lights on, I was blinded by a bright blue glow from the dash illumination. "Tacky" is probably the best way I can think to describe it. A simple white, orange or red lighting scheme would have been much less offensive. Performance wise, the car accelerated quite well for a 3.6L. Handling was adequate (the car didn't feel overly heavy). Braking was satisfactory. Fuel economy was average for a car of this size and engine capacity. Road noise was quite bad in the vehicle I drove, at any speed above 60km/hr wind noise could be heard in the rear of the car and a prominent rattle could be heard coming from within the dash somewhere. Not really acceptable from a car with 30000k on the odometer. I was unable to find a way to manually control the high beam on the car and had to resort to the automatic high beam feature. This was a little bit rough around the edges, taking a little too long to dip the lights when oncoming traffic came into view or the taillights of a vehicle ahead. The car was also confused at times by reflection from street signs, dipping the lights.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

This car is a hidden gem
I thought I would buy a car that was a bit different from the mundane bunch of the usual fare on offer. I had a test drive, and thought "I reckon I'll give this a go". Glad I did. This is a open road gem. Great on fuel (8 litres per 100k). Bought the base 300 petrol 8 speed. Plenty of features, more than happy. Very quiet, very smooth drive. I've done 20,000K so far and really, I could not be happier with this car. Not so the dealer I bought it from. Very poor service indeed in my experience. Still, you might have a different experience if you...Read more
buy from this dealer. As the question goes "Would you recommend this dealer to a friend?" Answer "No" Smooth ride, great on fuel. And nobody says "Hey what was that car", everybody knows and wish they had one. Poor dealer experience. They won't see me, or the car, in there again.1 comment

First Chrysler v8 and won't be the last
I bought a silver Core demo in May from Caroline Springs dealer.
Michael my salesman was a really good guy, genuine and made an effort.
The price for my demo was outstanding, 6000klms with the sat nav option and paid mid 40s.
I've had 5 HSV, 1 FPV and 2 Audis and I'm really happy with the build quality of the Chrysler.
And the power of the Hemi is something to behold. Comfortable seats and heaps of room.

Cannot fault, Brilliant underrated
I bought my SRT8 Core in May, and cannot wait to get up everyday to drive it. I've been a mechanic for 20 years so hopefully I know a thing or to about cars. The second gen 300s 2012 onwards are so much better than the first gen it's not funny. If your looking for a large sedan, put these on your list to test drive. As for the 6.4 Hemi, oh my goodness!!!

Harsh downshifts
Car developed harsh, jolting downshifts into lower gears at only 3000km's. Chrysler technicians at the dealership purchased from have no solution. Search on the internet reveals that dozen's of V6 8 speed Jeeps, Chryslers and Dodges (share the same Pentastar engine and ZF transmission) have developed similar issues. According to these forums, Chrysler is fobbing off owners by declaring the problem isn't a problem at all, but a "characteristic" of these vehicles.
If this is characteristic of these vehicles, why:

Great value for money!
I purchased a new Chrysler 300C (2013 model) and so far it has been excellent, much better than my previous Holdens.
This vehicle is great on fuel, it got us from Seymour where we filled up and all the way to Sydney (Riverstone) on a full tank!! We couldn't believe how fuel efficient it was, we were also using the air conditioning for most of the trip. The Chrysler is extremely comfortable, quality interior, quiet (no rattling), cool features such as the rear sunshade, push start ignition, usb/bluetooth, big display screen, premium Alpine soun...Read more

2008 Chrysler 300C - is a lemon. Has been nothing but trouble and money guzzler since day one. New tyres at 20,000k's, new spark plugs at 27,000 and again at 52,000 (not as listed in service guide at ... Read more
48,000 and 96,000). New rotors at 50,000. The list is endless, not to mention the time wasted to return vehicle to service centre every time something goes wrong. Would never recommend a Chrysler to anyone - in fact I am so dead set against them I tell everyone everything that has happened to mine. Is nearly 6 years old and only done 52,000 k's as it has spent most of its life in workshop and I am affraid to drive it as everytime I go somewhere something happens and I break down - very unrealiable.Similar opinion?

Very Disappointed
After test driving and reading the rave reviews we were excited to order our Chrysler 300 SRT8 Core. The Hemi V8 was impressive (love the soundtrack) and the styling much improved on the previous model.
Unfortunately after only a few hundred kilometres our new car developed a fault that was unable to be fixed within a reasonable timeframe. We did receive two replacement vehicles only to find that they had been sitting in the weather for over six months since being delivered from the US (we suggest potential buyers check the build date) this ...Read more
meant the paint and chrome trim was marked and scratched. In addition, the interior quality was disappointing as the doors didn't align properly (causing a buffeting noise), the console had dents/flaws and some of the vents didn't move. Another couple of disappointing features we found are that you are unable to get a full size spare - meaning you are left with the tyre sealant kit (useless if your tyre comes off the alloy) and the LSD/Traction Control doesn't engage at slow speed (making it hard to get up steep driveways). Even thought this is well priced, after three disappointments sadly we had to let our passion for this car go. Hemi V8 Quality1 comment

o, as I make all new car makers replace non conforming parts, this includes warped plastics, be persistent and go to Fair Trading about any issues if they dont comply!

300C Chrysler
The Chrysler 300 C petrol is very economical. It used only 13 L per 100km and I live in Sydney! Great fuel consumption! Diesel uses only 10L PER 100 km in the city. I tested it and both diesel and petrol are very fuel economical. I definitely recommend it to anyone.

Amazing
The Chrysler 300 C Luxury is the best car I have ever driven would recommend to anyone, it's much better than the Ford Falcon low model. Very fuel efficient. I used to own a 2005 model, it still works with 190,000 kms on it. Very easy to repair too. The inside is very luxurious. Would recommend it over the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Santa Fe. VERY GOOD CAR I LOVE IT

Update on the Chrysler 300. Had the car 3 years now. Still love the car. Never has it missed a beat. Still a head turner. Don't do a lot of K's. Have other work cars . So only 38k on the clock.. I hope the love affair continues.
