Default 300c

It has been over 5 months since I traded my 03 performance in for a 300C. I hate to say it but the only problem I have had with my 300C was a map light that went out. The 300C was voted Motor Trend Car of the Year, Automobile and Mony Mag. Car of the Year. I have to say that my Chrysler quality is much better than my 350 ever was.

You have to agree that the 300C is a great car.

IMO its a Bentley wannabe. I have no desire to own such a car.

Its true that your not having any problems with the 300C, but go to a 300C forum and you'll find people with the 300C have there share of problems with that car also.... The same is true with just about every car... There's always going to be some guys that are not lucky and get a lemon...

^ agreed. I was going to get an RX-8 before my Z, so I was on the rx-8 forums for a long time, listening to peoples' tranny, bad mpg, and flooding problems. Now I come here and listen to all the problems people have with their Zs. Every car is going to have problems. I love 300Cs, they are a great value. But I don't see how you could even begin to compare a big sedan like the 300C to a small sports car like the 350z.

I saw one tonight with 22" bling-blings. Very nice, all black, tinted, rolling on the highway. Much respect to that car, as well as its brother, the Magnum. Even more respect to the upcoming SRT-8 trims. Ouch! Sub-5s 0-60! I don't think it should be a replacement for the Z, but I think it should be a companion.

DCX has been coming out with better products and the realibility aren't too shabby. Just stay away from Chrysler automatic transmission cars (300C uses a the Mercedes auto tranny which is reliable). Chrysler manual tranny cars are actually pretty reliable.
