Would I buy another one? Well, after 22,000 miles and not a single warranty repair, just new oil every three thousand, and how could I possibly diss the blue beast? It's the fastest damn thing I've ever drove, and the most comfortable. It might be fun to trade it for a Magnum or Charger SRT-8 (for some reason I prefer the SRT-8 treatment much more on the Dodge than on the Chrysler), but how can you justify trading a trouble-free (knock on wood) car? I like that Chrysler for 2007 allows you to purchase the regular Hemi model (and its cheaper fuel outlays) with the upgraded interior and wheels of the SRT-8.


My wife drives an '04 Pacifica with a little over 30,000 miles on it. It's also been a trouble-free vehicle, and testament to the recent high quality of Chrysler vehicles in my recent experience.

I posted this in the "other" thread, but thought it would work here as well

This got me thinking about the last 8 cars/trucks/Vans we have bought.

2 Chrysler Mini Vans ( one replaced under Lemon Law)
3 LX cars ( loved them all, very minor issues, but HAD to have the SRT8)
1 Jeep, not one issue except for the rear ends I toasted
2 Suburbans, both have been constant issues..Went to start my wifes 05 Sunday, 1 1/2 yrs old..dead as a door nail. Not sure why nor is the dealer

Over all, I would go with the LX or Jeep platform again in a minute. Not sure about the mini Van or the Suburban...Nor would I want to deal with the Lemon Law crap again..that sucked and wasted 7 months of my life

Damn another dynamic thread which I am late to the party

Yes, I would have no hesitation in buying another Chrysler car. I was only pondering what my next car might be while I was washing SRT 61 on the weekend. There really isn't another car under A$100k which appeals right now.

I would buy another LX car in a heartbeat BUT...... DCXs service needs to improve. Not sure if it is just the dealership here but they are definitely not customer or user friendly.

i like my 300c, but i dunno. nice car, tons of power. got a great deal on it. but, it leaves something to be desired. sluggish in curves, until you tweak the engine, it hesitates on the pedal. comfort is great. awesome looks, great sound system. im glad i have it, but i dig them new g35s, which was #2 on my list when i was car shopping.

Already did. I'm on #2 as it is and now the wife is talking Challenger. Yeah, you could say I'm a fan.

All I can say to you is buy a SRT corners MUCH better and even with the little hesitation, it still FLYS

Definitely would but another. Sometimes, I take the 300C for a cruise and leave the Viper at home. Wife just got a loaded HEMI Commander - another great car!

MOPAR or NOCAR

To hell with Consumer Reports ... unless you are looking for a toaster.
