Impressive vehicle
This is one good looking vehicle. It handles well and the acceleration is fantastic. The controls are handy and logical. The USB port for connecting your iPod works well and allows you to control the iPod from the radio controls. So far the gas mileage is pretty good, but I have not taken any long trips. If you get black on black, you should know that people may mistake you for an unmarked police car and slow down until they figure out you are just Joe Citizen. I have actually had complete strangers comment on how awesome the car looks.

Hemi with AWD, what's not to love!
10 years and we still love our charger! It started giving a heavy "clunk" when shifting from reverse to drive about 6 months ago, especially when cold, and the dealer just replaced the transmission with a rebuilt one. Luckily we purchased a lifetime Mopar repair contract when new so it only cost $100! Other than that it's still going strong, no regrets! My wife asked about getting a Charger, and I knew owners loved them but I was surprised to see that reliability complaints were few and far between. So I agreed to look at one and I am so glad that we did! After 18 months the car now has 18K trouble free miles with two repairs: 1) the sunroof lost its mind after about a year - it refused to work until it was reset and reprogrammed by a dealer and 2) it came with a cracked panel in the trunk that was replaced by the dealer. We purchased the AWD version because I personally would not consider a RWD car (which most Chargers are) in Chicago where we live. AWD works great in snow and we feel very secure driving it in the worst weather. It switches into AWD when the temp goes below the upper 30s and the mileage drops in the winter - we get 2-3 mpg less in the winter vs summer. I do wish it had a switch to disable AWD but it does not. The AWD R/T has a softer suspension and different tires than the standard R/T. We like it this way because it is a family car for us and everyone is comfortable in the car. AWD also makes "burnouts" pretty much impossible, but if you are looking for acceleration there is no substitute for four wheels putting Hemi power on the road! The car is really fun and comfortable to drive in any weather. Last comment: 2014 was the final year for the AWD Hemi R/T so 2014 is the year to get if you want this model. Review update: 1/2022 75,000 miles and nearly 8 years later we still have our Charger and love it even more! It's been super reliable and only recently needed an engine oil pressure sensor, the only repair since new! We just had the transmission fluid and filter changed because we have no plans to replace it. If you can find a nice one, then go ahead and buy it!

Bit disappointed
I always wanted this car and envied people driving it. It always looked so semetrical and powerful with attention to luxury that drive me to buying it. When I purchased my vehicle it was everything I ever wanted. Only thing is I never got to enjoy the vehicle. I was wasting more money fixing the vehicle than modding it. It wouldn't last more than an average of 6 months until it needed another trip to the mechanic for major issues. In overall it did great in delivering that masculine classy look style I was going for. Just wasn't a very reliable vehicle I would say. Which was saddening because I was so disappointed I had to trade it in.
R/T plus all wheel drive
Its been a great car for 3 years,very quick,agile,comfortable, but obviously not old school marshmallow, lol,I've owned lots of cars over many years and this one is the best one yet I'm partial to mopar, but have had other's I truly liked from gm,ford,(,least favorite)and foreign=often overrated,overpriced, and people run the used ones in to the ground, and then still expect to dollar, no thanks, anyway this car is great I've had it to 115 m.p.h.and feels like 70,very stable, and quiet, highly recommend this car,never left me stranded, but remember, they all need maintenance, and care,I personally only run full synthetic oil,and change it every 7-8k miles, and don't even have to add any in between, I'm at 62k,now and running strong.

Found out AWD, bought in a week
Always admired the V8 Chargers from a distance, living in New England rear wheel drive for an every day car, especially one with 385 ft/lbs of torque, is not really logical. Then through browsing through Edmunds, I discovered they made an AWD up until 2014. I found one with just under 30k at a local garage, went and left with it on Saturday. I have loved every minute inside the car, the ride is not too stiff, but certainly not land yacht like. You can feel the power of the engine, but she settles in nicely at legal speeds. She's definitely heavy, and you can feel her, but she's a sedan the heft feels like it belongs with the car (you are not going to get everything for $23k, give me the Hemi and the 370 horses with it and I am happy). I am not a thin man, and sometimes getting in the car is a bit difficult (head on the frame), I would have liked a little bit easier to read analog gauges and the quality of the display is not fantastic, but I bought this car for the engine, and it delivers on my main purchasing point. And she looks beautiful in my driveway.
