What a ride!

2010 Dodge Challenger R/T 2dr Coupe (5.7L 8cyl 5A)

I bought the 6 speed manual R/T Classic in TorRed. The car is an absolute head turner. I have the cold air kit and the Mopar exhaust and it sounds great. The fuel economy is what I expected for a hard charging muscle car. The ride is smooth and is very comparable to luxury cars. There is nothing I don't like about the car. If you buy this car you will not be disappointed. I have friends with the Camaro and Mustang and the Challenger is by far the better car. It may not out perform those two but the ride, comfort and looks are much better

Best V6 Retro Muscle Car

2010 Dodge Challenger SE 2dr Coupe (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

I bought the 2010 SE with V6 and automatic. Also the customer preferred group package 25G which includes 18" wheels, fog lamps etc and the leather interior group option. The high output 3.5 liter V6 has plenty of get up and go. I find it has more than enough pick up when you need it. It cruises well and has an excellent ride. Cabin is quiet and roomy. Trunk is large.

I have owned many cars from the BMW 740li, Mercedes c, Lexus ls 460,and recently a 2010 Mustang v6. The mustang was fun to drive however, was very tight for a big guy. The Dodge is roomy, very fast, fun, looks great, and does not ride like a buckboard, very nice ride, not as smooth as a Lexus however very good. Overall I am very happy and would own another. I did the mopar package with the huge air scoop, very cool.

A Lot of Car for the Money!

I traded in my Porsche Cayenne for the 2010 Dodge Challenger and I traded up! The Challenger rides smoother,is more comfortable, more fun to drive, and has knock out looks! I really feel that this car is as much a Luxury car as a sports car! It has sport car looks with a luxury car ride! I was surprised by the excellent build quality and the good gas mileage, also the six runs smooth and strong. I do plan on adding the cold air induction for a little more oomph and gas mileage but after driving the hemi, I preferred the six! I have owned some of the best cars made, a BMW 745, a S Class MBZ, a Jag, and the Cayenne, and I have to say that this car is among my favorites. You have to try it out!

In 2019 I finally had the opportunity to buy a vehicle I been waiting to buy since it came back to the market in 2009....The Dodge Challenger R/T.... and I got very lucky to find a very rare 2010 Furious Fuchsia AKA Pink Panther Edition with only 4200 miles on it... I have since added a 1970 style Hurst pistol grip shifter K&N air filter n sprint pedal booster n with its 375Hp Hemi n 392 rear it's a blast to drive...also did a muffler delete to give it some sound n extra ponies...fun car...gas mileage isn't bad for a V8 Hemi n 6spd manual transmission.... Great car..diff a head Turner n trophy winner at your local car shows.... if like a old school looking muscle car with modern technology...this car is for you....

Love at First Drive 🥰

Do you believe in Love at First Drive? I didn’t. I’ve always been the DIY mechanic and have worked on all my cars. Fixed up my first Car 69’ Dart, 68’ Merc Cougar, and even C’Notched (lowered 2” Front, 4” Rear) a GMC Sierra. THIS IS THE FIRST CAR I’VE LOVED AT FIRST DRIVE. I still ended adding goodies to my 2010 R/T, cause these cars are so fun to customize and add custom parts to. Blah blah Mustangs and Camaros, they feel like they’re gonna fall apart when you’re smashing. My HEMI R/T is quiet and smooth. Easy to do maintenance (7qts Mobil 1), spark plugs easy to access with the right extensions (all 16 of em 😒), and so much room to work on the car. You can EASILY add on performance parts/tuner chips/headers/throttle than can match or out perform a Camaro/Mustang if you know what you’re doin. A great spacious interior, dash is blah 🥱, but my guess is you’re not test driving a HEMI for interior design 🤣. Get one!!!!

2009 Challenger R/T

I purchased my Challenger in January of 2009. Chrysler nailed the look of the 1970 model. Shortly after I took the car home, the windows would drop down after the door was opened, but would not roll back up. It did this several times. The dealership was unable to duplicate the problem. The rear taillight panel had a two inch crack in it which had to be replaced. Some of the body panels and rear taillights did not line up. The lights could not be adjusted. I enjoyed driving the car, although I did not like the feel of the engine when cruising at low speeds. It felt like the engine was holding back. This particular car would spin the back tires, but not for long. I sold the car 6 mths later

Great car, bought new, now at 7 years and 91k

This was the first American car I have purchased and I haven't regretted it. It's reliable, well supported by the dealer and aftermarket, attractive, comfortable, and has a great owner community. Don't buy this car is you want to remain anonymous. Owning a Challenger is instant rock star status. I've only had 2 issues with the car: 1. the headliner dropped from a bracket behind the sunroof, fixed under warranty. 2. a piece of interior window trim cracked, I replaced it myself in 15 minutes. All in all, it's been a great ownership experience. Parts and service are inexpensive. Lots of opportunity to customize for more performance and/or convenience. UPDATE at 91k miles: The Challenger remains the most reliable car I've ever owned and I've had Hondas and Toyotas. Mechanically, I've had to replace a water pump, a radiator, and an outer tie rod all in 91k miles. I have a tuner which allows me to turn off the MDS, I turn off the system because the car sounds awful with my MOPAR cat back on 4 cylinders. Fuel economy is not a big factor with me, though my big V8 regularly returns an average of 18-19 mpg. On a recent trip from Massachusetts to Long Island I averaged just over 25 mpg with speed ranges from 65 - 85 mph. From a practicality stand point, the trunk is enormous. The trunk will hold a large folding canopy, a cooler, a few chairs, cleaning supplies (never leave the house without a way to clean the car), a space saver spare and then if I need it the rear seat folds down. Incredible. At this point, the Challenger needs a suspension refreshening; coil-overs or the MOPAR Pursuit suspension will be installed.

Perfect car for a midlife crisis

2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 2dr Coupe (6.1L 8cyl 5A)
4 of 6 people found this review helpful

After 5 years of driving a 1500 Ram, I was ready for a change. The TV commercial of the Challenger burning out on pavement in slow motion really hooked me. Dealership had a good discount/incentive for buying a 2010. Absolutely fun car that gets compliments daily wherever I go. The 13 speaker kicker stereo system with sub is awesome. Handling is quite good imo but of course this is coming from a guy that traded in a pickup. The SRT8 seats and interior as a whole looks much better than the bland gray of the lower models. No regrets... fun fun fun!
