It is refereshing to hear from someone who truly knows what they have. Although I only have about 25,000 miles on my two 300C Heritage Editions, they are beyond a doubt the best cars I have ever owned. Good for you!

I also agree; I have no complaints or no problems. I love my car and call her PureNRG (Pure Energy).

I see that someone has filed a Class Action Lawsuit against Continental Tire - stating that they failed to disclose that their tires would incur abnormal and premature treadwear. From comments in this forum, I knew the Conti's were not a great tire. When I bought my '07 C, I had them switch the tires to Goodyear Assurance, which I had on my 300M, Great tires, great car! You should be getting the Notice of Class Action shortly. I received mine today.

Agreed - my experience with my Continental-General tires was crap.

I barely got 20,000 miles from the Conti tires on my two 2006 300C Heritage Editions. I upgraded to Michelins and love them. They are the run flat design with extra firm sidewalls which improved cornering considerably. I also opted for the widest size tire that would fit my stock 18" chrome clad wheels (P255R55-18) and the wet and dry performance improved even more. I expect to get at least twice the mileage from these tires as opposed to the Continentals. The Michelins were about $250.00 each (mounted/balanced) so it cost me a bit over $2000.00 to replace the rubber on both cars. Still, the durability, reliability, handling, safety and even the road noise improvement makes it well worth the expense. The Mercedes in Chrysler clothing is much more apparent now!

When you change the air cleaner filter, do you have to remove the inlet hose, or can you just lift the cover and put the new filter in? Thanks...

Just unbuckle the two latches and lift the cover up and roll it over to access the filter element. There are three slots on the back that accept three plastic square alignment tabs before you snap the cover back in place. There is no need to remove the air duct (looks like a hose).

I have seen a photograph of a 2009 300C Heritage Edition and it is spectacular! One thing different: The Chrysler wing on the trunk looks wider and it has the red, white and blue Heritage Edition badge in the center of it. They also have LED turn indicators on the mirrors and puddle lamps. The rear spoiler is molded into the trunk lid and the rear deck brake light is relocated to the trunk as well (like the 300M). The dual exhaust stainless steel tips are rolled on the edges instead of just cut off. The interior is improved as well with more wood and chrome trim. The MyGig entertainment center is a great feature also. The Navigation system is now touch screen operated, much better than my 2006 model the requires everything done with a twist button selector, and a graphic keyboard and enter button. Too much trouble! Chrysler is listening to everyones' suggestions and making changes to improve. The prices have not gone up much since 2006 either. The cars are just getting better.
