Fast & Flawed

2021 Dodge Challenger R/T 2dr Coupe (5.7L 8cyl 6M)

Very attractive and fast car. Stepping on the throttle will absolutely push you back in your seat! The ride is smooth on the highway and the handling is much better than expected considering size and weight. Purchased brand new and the fit and finish were lacking. Gaps around the car were uneven and the transmission (8 speed automatic) was questionable. The shifts were really hard and the car had less than 2000 miles. Myself and my passengers noticed the hard shifts particularly from 1st to 2nd. Also noticed the Challenger needed an alignment after 2000 miles driving on normal roads??? Those two issues combined with my 2nd home moving to the nearest gas station lead me to sell the Challenger after 3 months of ownership. Fun car but not worth owing with problems and the horrible gas mileage. I should have not had those issues after only driving 2000 miles. It’s a shame because I really like Dodge vehicles. I may consider another one in the future.

Amazing car. Drives fantastic what's not to love. But I can't believe how easy it is to steal... I don't understand that with today's technology they are so easy to steal! I bought 2021 challenger scat pack. I had it for 3 months. It was stolen in minutes by smashing window. Im disapointed

2021 Dodge Challenger SXT 2dr Coupe (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful

First of all my 2021 Challenger is the Hellraison color. Kind of purple. People are constantly complimenting the car. The color. The looks. How it reminds them of hot wheel cars they had when they were kids. Sometime people strike up conversations about it. It is an SXT. The 6 cylinders, 305 horsepower are enough for me and the car is fast. Gas mileage is not bad. I'm 75 years old and 6'2' and I've taken many long drives and the car is a pleasure to drive and very comfortable seat wise. No issues at all so far with 41,000 miles. I think I'd like to keep this Challenger. Especially because they're not being built any more.

Dream come true

I have the scat pack with 8 speed automatic. A daily driver, it has good street handling characteristics. It can be driven without giving away the beast that lies within. Out on the open road, the second personality comes alive. Phenomenal acceleration between 45 and 120. It just wants to keep going. Remains extremely steady at speed with steering response being perfect. It’s like getting two cars in one. In 2021 it outsold camero and mustang. The cons for this car is gas mileage. But if you are buying it for that then you need to get a Prius. Second con is 2023 is its last year. Corporate is discontinuing both the challenger and charger.

I like the looks, power, handling, and room in the cockpit, also the sound. I do not like that the passenger seat has no auto controls, I have A 1981 AMC Eagle Limited that has automatic controls on both seats and the Eagle is 42 years old! And I am 82 years old. I also like the 6 spd. shifter.
