Long-Term Test Update: 2005 Chrysler 300C

No problems to report... so far

We got our satellite radio service back after checking in with Sirius; it was simply a programming error due to our long-term tester being an OEM-owned unit. It's a nice feature to have when clocking 10,000 miles in six months.

The Boston Acoustics sound system has impressive power, depth, and clarity, and it sounds as good as OEM systems in vehicles costing twice as much. Many positive comments fill the logbook about the interior and how it feels more upscale than a $32K base price should support. We noted the power door-lock switch is smallish and hard to find in the dark, although backlit. The 300C carries itself with an aristocratic air, which is evident even to those drivers we catch stealing glimpses, many of them driving more expensive hardware. The ride feels tight and capable without being jarring. The power is addictive and makes us hunt for nonbelievers. The trunk is large and flat, with plenty of room for everyday use. Worried about domestic product quality? Not with this baby, at least so far; no problems to report.
