This is a great car, very comfortable and quick with the AWD 300HP V-6, so far averaging about 24-MPG overall. Love the retro style cues, visibility is good and seats are firm, sports car feel. Driving in bad weather is no problem, even in last 6 years of snow it always get me where I'm going. No regrets on my choice. Dealer support has been great after the sale, couldn't ask for more. We have taken a several vacations in it and it's a very comfortable road car; still averages about 30-mpg on the highway. With gas prices climbing, it was a good choice. Now the car has 92,000+-mi on it, still running great, replaced battery (2021) and thermostat (2022), 2nd set of tires at 89,500 Pirelli this time, also four wheel brakes and rotors at 92,000. The navigation system cannot locate the car in its correct location, I tried to talk to people at the navigation company and all they wanted to do is sell me an update - it didn't fix the problem. Guess I'll have to find my own way, other than that car has been fine.

This was a program car I bought in May of 2017. It only had about 15K miles, and still had 29 months warranty remaining. At first I was at first a little skeptical about the 31 mpg hwy claim. Not any more! On long trips, I have seen 35 mpg several times, and even saw the tip computer hit 36 mpg for a short period. At least a couple of times with that 35 mpg, I calculated my mileage on fill-up, rather than just trusting the computer, so the computer is reasonably accurate. Though it doesn't have the power of a Hemi, the V-6 is quite adequate for me. I was surprised how well that engine could move a 4000 lb car. My only complaint, is that the car is larger than I prefer, and that's not the car's fault. This car has been trouble free for me. The only things I've replaced are tires, oil, filters, and batteries in the key fobs. I have found that the trip computer is not always accurate for mpg. Sometimes high, sometimes low. Not really a problem for me, as I choose to calculate mine. While traveling across New Mexico on I-40, at 78 mph, I saw as much as 38 mpg, but any car will get better at higher altitude.

Looking for a new car that has it all, then look no farther than a Dodge Charger. My SXT Rallye AWD is amazing. The 300HP "Pentastar" V6 does everything I had expected it would. Even with AWD, the car accelerates very well, runs smoothly and quietly, and delivers great economy. It easily gets 27mpg on the highway, and handles extremely well. The seats are firm yet comfortable, and the car heats up quickly in our cold Minnesota weather. In terms of road-holding ability, the car gets an A plus. It goes through the snow like a champ, and feels very secure all the time. I have had many compliments on the appearance of the car, and I particularly like the RT touches that comes with the Rallye package. I also own a Dodge Challenger Scat Pack Shaker, so I'm fully aware of what a muscle car feels like. The Charger is not really a muscle car, but if you think about it, 300HP not too long ago was considered a real hot rod. So I recommend the Charger SXT Rallye, as a great all around family sedan that also provides the look and the fun of Muscle car.

First off, I'm a 25 year living in Michigan. We get snow and rain most of the year so I chose the AWD. Although this model is only a V6, it is quite powerful. The AWD Charger is actually a RWD vehicle that goes into AWD when the vehicle slips or when the temp falls below a certain degree. At the slightest push of the pedal, the vehicle gets up and goes! This makes it very fun to take off on green lights. I've personally tested the vehicle to reach speeds of 125 before struggling to continue. I did this on a closed course and do not recommend doing this on any open roads as the vehicle does shake at these speeds. The vehicle interior is very basic for a sporty car but to be honest it fills all your needs. Plenty of room, many compartments, great location for USB/Aux, audio and temp controls readily accessible. I had no complains driving this vehicle other than the all season tires that came from the factory.
