Chrysler added several new features and options to the full size 300M. Steering wheel audio control were now standard equipment. The rear end of the sedan was redesigned, now including clear lens taillights and dual chrome exhaust. New 17-inches wheel and and aluminum window trim added to the exterior look, and additional interior and exterior colors became available. The 300M was now offered with a luxury group package which included real wood trim and auto-dimming mirrors. The 300M would house the same engine throughout its life: a 3.5 liter V-6, which was built specifically for use in the LH platform sedans like the 300 and the Intrepid. The engined was paired with a for speed automatic transmission, but Chrysler offered the AutoStick for that surrogate manual feel. The 253 horses powered the 300M from 0 to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds. Many of the reliability concerns attached to the earlier model now seemed to be diminishing. However, build quality was still an issue. Many of the repairs were directed to small inconveniences like power failures and temperamental electronics. Most of these problems were reports by drivers who had crossed the 50,000 mile mark.
What owners say
"Owners generally love the Chrysler 300M for its blend of luxury, comfort, and surprising power. They appreciate its smooth ride, especially on long trips, and commend its stylish appearance. However, some drivers express concern about safety due to frequent tire issues and suggest that Chrysler should address these problems. Overall, it's seen as a dependable car with good gas mileage and a fun driving experience."
You don't see this car around, the mileage is super super low for the age of the car. and the condition of the car is far exceeding "excellent" very rarely you can find a car this clean with this low mileage. the buyer was very very please with their new found treasury.
June 10, 2013I loved this car, I still regret selling it. The stock wheels that came with the car really added a nice look to it. it was luxury at an affordable price. The power of this car actually surprised me. The car would dust my escape in a race. A lot of power and weight. I miss you 300m :(
August 17, 2012Driving this car feels like driving a small car. Rear brake pads are new. Interior and exterior look nice. no tears or worn leather. My wife wouldn't drive any other car, she loves the radio and cruise controls at the wheel. 22 mpg City, 28 mpg Highway. Paint is shiny. Headlights are polished now.

February 25, 2011It is a great car to drive, and very dependable. No defects so far, which isn't bad for an 8-year old car. I wish there were more of them so it would be easier to find more aftermarket accessories.
July 15, 2009All around great car. Very comfortable seats for long or short trips. Heated seats are great and fast acting. This car is great for long trips. Very little fatigue compared to most cars. visibility is good. Car is well thought out for maintenance, easily accessible repairs.
March 20, 2012the 300M is a seemless blend of performance, style, and luxury. love the car
April 30, 2008Performance - enough for a retired person Build quality - so far so good Apperance - great with Springsteen on Fun factor - fantastic with Springsteen on the radio Cost of ownership - who cares With Springsteen on it's the funniest car I ever had
July 10, 2009I love walking outside and looking at my car. The rear end is really gorgeous. I don't care for the bubble-like styling used to shape the front end. Performance-wise, well, it's just a V6, so nothing to brag about. Got her up to 110 once on the high way, but that's about it. Gas mileage is great, right now I'm averaging 25 mpg's. It's pretty sweet. As for fun? Well, I wish I could throw her around, but I just can't risk an accident, she's my only mode of transportation.
February 26, 2010I love everything else about this car except that it is a real pain to have to put air in the tires every 2-3 days. My tires go flat in that amount of time - I think this is a safety issue and should have been resloved by the Chrysler Company. If the rims cause the problem I think they should have been made to replace them.
