Used 2012 Dodge Challenger Coupe Consumer Reviews
Best Retro Muscle Car Hands Down
As far as 'bang for the buck' it is tough to find a better value than the 5.7 Hemi R/T with 6 speed manual. I think the 5.7 allows you to actually enjoy the car on public roads without feeling like you are running up miles on a potential classic (if you had the 392 or higher models). I did the Mopar cold air intake and the resonator delete and probably picked up 15 hp. So, yes the car is heavy but it makes for great highway stability and comfort. It is spacious inside - so you don't feel so claustrophobic as with some other cars. I got the silver with the black diagonal R/T stripes on the front fender/hood and added some Ace Alloy after market wheels with a staggered tire set up (slightly wider in the rear). It really turns head and sounds great. I had a 1972 Challenger which was awesome, but this one is years ahead in user friendliness and faster.

I traded a 2012 Ford Fusion for this car and I am extremely pleased with my decision. The MSRP was a little over 30K and I was able to purchase for 27K which is very reasonable for the features the Challenger has. I currently have 4000 miles on the car and have enjoyed every mile! It is black with chrome 20's which make it look great! The car is very comfortable as long as you are in the front. I normally drive on a 150 mile round trip and average around 30 mpg. I drive up many hills and there is always power to spare. The car handles great around curves. I have Sirius radio and really enjoy that. This is a Great college car! I have to hide keys from my mom.
My favorite car ever!!!
Being in the car business for 30 yrs and having driven all types and makes of cars in that time this is by far the best! Wished they would make a convertible tho :)

New is great but used according to owner.
Great car! I hate hate hate the shifters on the steering wheel! Accidently hit it numerous times each time I drive the car! The car has an annoying clicking sound from what sounds like a vent issue. A brake issue after taking care to three shops and hundreds of dollars later. Good car still but Dodge could have thought it through on some things about the car.

Classic styling AND ride!
If, like me, you grew up in the era of muscle cars, then this is the modern muscle for you. Styled just like the cars of old, it also packs a nice punch. When you are touring the countryside, this car is as comfortable as it gets.... When you decide to hammer the skinny pedal, she'll put you back in the seat at almost any speed. Were the hoodscoops operational, I would have given 1 more star to my review. The colors the Challenger is available in are fantastic, mine is "blackberry pearl" and goes from a midnight blue to a dark purple to black. In general the car is a very dark purple to the eye... Beautiful vehicle in all her trim levels
