2005 Chrysler 300 C Hemi review from North America
"Thanks Chrysler for building a car that gives the Town car a run for its money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Oh my gosh, where do we begin with what we think of this car? To be honest with you, we absolutely adore it! We call it "Blackie" because he's black.
We're an elderly Jewish couple who had owned Lincoln Town Cars for quite a while. In fact, we traded our 2003 Town Car Cartier L for Blackie. Our friends had just got a silver 300C before we got ours, and they still love it. We took them with us when we traded the Town Car in. All it took was one test drive of the 300C, and then we selected black with grey interior, and we bought Blackie home.
We showed the car to our kids and the grandchildren, and all of them just fell in love with Blackie right away. It was love at first sight! However, they miss the Town Car to a point.
The interior is just gorgeous. It's roomy inside, and the seats are like being in a living room! It's got way more power than the Town Car, and it's also got a nice size trunk.
So, if you are in the market for one of these babies, please go to your nearest Chrysler dealer and get one.
They're great for pleasure trips, and also great for senior citizens like us who love big cars.
