I had my 2012 Charger R/T Max for 17 months and sold it. The 4-6-8 cylinder system fights with the transmission in traffic. It's constantly trying to drop back to 4 cyl mode which cuts your low end torque in half, makes it downshift, then the other cylinders kick in while the engine races. It's totally confused! Build quality is great except, drivers seat power actuator moved jerkily and had to be replaced. Had radio replaced once and then rear channel failed again. Started smelling antifreeze inside the car at 25,000 miles, needs new heater core. Clunk in rear end when shifting gears in stop and go traffic. Over engineered and under built!!!
Great car!

I have been looking at the Charger for over a year. I looked at alot of cars but I kept coming back to the Charger. The way it drives, looks, handles, and the features you get for the money make it hard to beat. I have only had my R/T for 2 weeks so far so good. My Samsung phone is not compatible with UConnect but that isn't the cars fault. It is quiet, powerful, comfortable, gets relatively good mileage, and looks great. And boy does it get the looks. This is a keeper.
Would do it again (update) (update2)(update3)

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would own a Dodge - this is my 5th! Bought new in '12, wife hogs it. Set out to buy an Infiniti M, but the Dodge wins on noise, room, entrance/egress, toys, and performance. The AWD is not as good as BMW, reminds me of my Aspen. It kicks in after you slip a little - I guess they wanted you to know you were changing envelopes whereas my 330XI was hardly noticeable. Only issue so far was a bushing squeak in the steering column that was fixed under warranty....(update)...I just did tires and front brakes - a little disappointed with the longevity (46K) of both, but given my wife's driving habits not too bad. I've never had a Michelin wear out so quickly, but I guess they are rated to do so. I still really enjoy all of the creature features and the safety features. I followed a friend towing a trailer through hills last night for 4.5 effortlessly with the adaptive cruise control! GREAT road trip machine! (2017)...continues to be a great road trip car. I have only 1 issue since last update - uconnect getting a little touchy with my iphone - not my wife's though. We have the exact same phone and sometimes my phone won't work right if I'm using USB to charge it...otherwise ok. I updated the radio and nav about 2 years ago - maybe I take another look.(2018) I had my first repair issue - a heater core line started leaking VERY slowly and intermittently. The car had to be warm for over an hour and then may or may not leak. Turns out the solid metal hose was constructed with a mounting point attached - weakened over time and caused a pinhole. Other than that still very solid...uconnect still goofy with cell phone plugged into usb but fine otherwise. By the time my BMW reached this age and mileage I had dropped a few thousand in known issue repairs. I see reviews from time to time completely trashing Mopar products - I'd like to see how these folks treat their machines. I'm on my 6th with almost no issues! Dodge will be the first place I shop for a replacement when the time comes.

I have had my 2012 Charger R/T for 9 months/16000 miles. Prior to buying this I drove nothing but imports. This car is INCREDIBLE! It handles great, is super comfortable, has gobs of power, and is one solidly built machine. Even with the 5.7 Hemi I can get a consistent 30MPG on the highway and around 24MPG around town. The interior is very nicely appointed using mostly high quality materials throughout. If you told me 4 years ago I would be driving a Dodge I would have laughed in your face, but now I can't see myself driving anything else besides maybe a Ram or a Chrysler.
12 dodge charger. Low cost. Great fun drive.
