Really impressed by this car
I really like this car. I am coming from a truck to a car so it took me some time to get or find a car I woudl get rid of my truck for. So when I got into this car and adjusted it to fit me I loved it. I am 6′4″ and large man so I was supprised with the space it gave me. The engine in this car is very nice and I love the bose sound system witht he sub.

Charger is a good value
I really wished I had spent the extra money on the SXT model but it was 5 grand more. The 2.7 is ok but lacks low down power and it’s mileage is middling at best. Also Dodge needs to re-instate bodyside moldings as std equipment becasue it looks too plain without them. rear visibility is not very good either. On the plus side, this car rides well and is comfortable to drive. It’s also a bargain and a good value in a full size.

Zippy and mean.I am 5′10″ 240 lbs with bad knees, went on a trip of 900 miles and had relatively little pain that is associated with long trips. Lots of room and has a good firm ride with real good zip for the 3.5 V6. I will enjoy this car quite a while.

Epitomy of Perfection
I have just purchased a brand new Charger SRT-8 in Brilliant Black, see Dodge.com Pure perfection, gracious & swift steering, WITH minimal body roll! There are MANY applications and augmentations available for the 6.1L The stock rims & suspension actually supports the surpassing performance. Rims are light for stock. Suspension is tight. ESP is wonderful.
NOTE::: To take FULL advantage of SRT-8’s potential, disengage ESP for maximized BHP & acceleration.

I could only wish that the Hemi could get better fuel rate. But life is not perfect. We have to be impressed with the power. Dodge really got the look and feel of the car just right. Thanks.

I have owned my charger for 9 months so I am not reviewing it right off the show room floor. The looks of the car drew me to it and the performance sold me on it. Overall I am very satisfied with my Charger. It’s a great looking car that draws attention everywhere I go. We don’t see many of them around here (upstate NY) which I like. There is no doubt the car is powerful and fun to drive. I have a 23 mile commute to work about 16 miles highway and 7 miles city and I average 19.2 miles per gallon. The 4 door is very convenient and the car sits high enough so it is easy to get in and out of. I use leather protector and it has been very easy keeping the interior clean. Mine is the 5.7l 340 horse hemi, the acceleration is great and the power is awesome. I’ve had the car up to 120 mph with more throttle left. It took a while to get used to the steering, it wants to over steer so you need to be careful until you get used to it. I’ve had it into the dealers twice because of electrical problems, I’ve had problems with the sun roof and the sensor in the passenger seat. Chrysler has taken good care of me but it is still an inconvenience. The biggest fault of this car is the visibility the chopped look that give it it’s impressive styling make it hard to see. Both sides have a blind spot that a semi can hide in. You have to be back from the stop lights quite a ways to see them. The car has an auto stick transmission that I don’t see the point of without a clutch. If you are looking for a big powerful (muscle) car I feel confident recommending the Dodge Charger.

This car is for the typical 18 year old who wants to look cool. It does have decent acceleration and has fairly attractive/aggresive lines but any car enthusiast will agree this car is plain cheap. It handles horribly, sounds like your driving a semi as there is no noise supression, the interior looks like it was ripped out of a $10,000 Dodge Neon, and it is super uncomftorable. Like I said, if these things don’t matter to you, then this car is for you.
