I bought this car in March of this year at 95k miles and have put over 10k miles in the 8 months I've owned it. I love driving this car. I have it blacked out, which includes wheels and windows being tinted and I can't stop looking at it any time I walk by it. I've had family, strangers and even policemen compliment my ride, and rightfully so as I believe the '11-14 model is the meanest thing you'll see on the street. It really has an authoritative look. It drives smooth and fuel economy is good, even for the 5 speed which doesn't get talked about as much as the 8 speed. Got from Ohio to GA in one tank averaging 34mpg, and typically I average 24mpg all around driving. I commute 17 miles both ways for 5 days with additional driving on weekends and can make one tank last 2 full weeks! As far as power is concerned, the V6 doesn't slouch. It's no pony car, mind you, but still fun to drive. As far as reliability, so far I've just had an Oil Pressure Sensor go out but it's on my to-do list. Mechanically, the car is sound and definitely recommend!

We bought this car from a used car lot in 2015 with 43K on it and was with us until it was involved in a Collision on September 1st 2020 it was such an amazing car. We barely took any care of it but it made it all the way to 183K. Highly recommend this vehicle.

For for ten years I have owned a 2012 Dodge Charger RT Max. I really love this car. It is easy to drive. It is very fast. And very very reliable. No more than usual maintenance has been required to this vehicle. It puts a big smile on my face

Power steering & Transmission

I have a 2012 Charger SE 72565 miles. Twice my husband has had to take the wheel off to put power steering fluid in to stop the noise it makes and vibration. Both times it was low. Now making an appointment for the transmission. When driving at lower speeds it down shifts so hard it feels like something hits the bottom of the car. I love my car. I have enjoyed it. Just sad that at low miles again just like my Ram. Things started going wrong. The Ram 19000 miles. The Charger 22000.
