2009 Chrysler 300 Consumer Reviews

From 2006 Chrysler 300C to 2009 Limited

2009 Chrysler 300 Limited 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Review

Recently went from an 06 300C to an 09 300 LTD. While leaving the Hemi was disappointing the interior upgrades and overall ride are better. The LTD is missing electronic steering adjust, memmory seats and back up sensors but has better leather, LCD radio, nicer console with plentiful wood trim, soft leather covers on console and doors and other nice touches. The real disapointment is in the smoothness of the 3.5 engine. While I knew the performance would be avaerage, it is not tight and balanced like other notable V6 engines. The 6cyl and Hemi produce equivalent mpg. Overall I'm satisfied but would love to drive an 09 Hemi with improved hp. HP is a big part of the luxury and identity.

Favorite Features

Seats, exterior look, trunk size, easy folding seats to enlarge trunk, back seat comfort, auto-dimming rear view mirror, intermittent wipers, milage is decent for a big car,

Suggested Improvements

V6 engine needs refinement and power, the transmission is not Honda, Nissan or even GM smooth in shifting. More flexibility with exterior colors and interior colors, bigger glove box, should have a 5 speed transmission.
