The car is fantastic all around, handles well, sporty, roomie, and comfortable. The support from the dealers however is not. After purchasing the car I noticed a small chip on the trunk on the paint in the first two weeks of owning it. Every dealer refused to put a drop of touch paint on it. It was still brand new and under warranty. Also did not come with the gas nozzle in the trunk in case you run out of gas - so look for that. Dodge dealerships also refused to give me a replacement one insisting I pay for it. The car is absolutely fantastic but the dealership support after paying 42K for a brand new vehicle is awful.

I absolutely love my car, but barely after a year of ownership and I’ve had several issues with it already. Early on I had issues with the sunroof closing halfway then stopping in re-opening, I got it recalibrated at the dealership. I’ve also had several issues with the entertainment system crashing or just not working, typically issues with the Apple play not cooperating. A few months ago the water pump went out in it shredded a belt that was another four days spent at the dealership. Now it’s getting service Schechter warnings and is hesitating and/or not responding to the throttle. Despite the issues, I love this car and when it does run correctly, it’s a beast. She’s won 3 car show trophies and is always a favorite at local shows and meets. Comfortable ride though I’d say the material quality is a little lacking considering the price I paid. Small things like plastic interior piece not lining up or the stitching coming undone on the front passenger seat. The UConnect system glitches a lot and sometimes just flat out shuts off for no reason.

Over all a great car. Color choices are best in industry. Comfortable interior lay out is fantastic. Beats sound system is the best in industry. Leather interior is beautiful and comfortable. Engine is where this car lacks. V6 only with the AWD not good Dodge. Yes this motor makes decent power and yes the 8 speed transmission is spectacular. Yes the all wheel drive works amazing and this car is two wheel drive 90% of the time till wipers are turned on or wheel slip is senced. Or Temp falls to 40f degrees ambient. The fit and finish all around I give a A grade . Ride quality is a little stiff as it should be it is a muscle car/ family sedan. The steering is tight and very responsive. Grip is great in corners and body roll for such a big car is quite good. It turns in the corner not much push. The car stays planted and pointed exactly where you put it and yes I push it to it's limit. My previous car was a charger rt classic m6. This car is superior to the Challenger in every way possible except the power plant. I also owned the ram 1500 with this v6 and I was impressed with it's towing capacity and fuel mileage. The chargers power is much more than the truck. Over all I give the 2018 Dodge charger gt plus AWD a 4.9 star rating. Maybe turbos would help me be a 5 star member 😁

I'm a traveling salesman. My company car is a Chevy SS which I've already driven 86k+ miles. Wife bought Charger which we've now driven on several personal trips. A bit to my surprise, I enjoy the Charger more than the SS. Both cars have similar comfort. Sticker on the SS new was about $10k higher than the Charger. The company got a special fleet price on a closeout model which actually made the SS cheaper than the Charger. On that basis, I'd say the SS was a better value, but since they don't make the SS anymore and I'm not going to get fleet pricing for a personal car, I consider the Charger a good buy. A lot of performance for the dollar. Yeah, the SS has a bit more refinement and some extra features included in the higher sticker price. What I don't see in the higher SS price is any extra performance. Professional auto testers seem to prefer the SS. My "seat of the pants" impression is different. It feels to me like the Charger accelerates harder and inspires more confidence in corners. Both cars are firm and braking from both cars' Brembos seems equally good. The SS has an edge on smooth, but neither car is unpleasant. SS seats look more stylish, but the Charger seats seem more comfortable to me for long stints behind the wheel. A wider person might prefer the SS seats though. The SS gets a consistent 21-22 mpg in highway driving. On the highway trips we've taken in the Charger, we got 24-25 mpg. Of course, around town wife averages 15-16 mpg with the Charger. Because the SS is my work car, I never drive it around town enough to get a comparison. The higher sticker on the SS does bring a few features the Charger lacks. The SS features I value are the heads up display and a spare tire. I got an aftermarket spare for the Charger, but have to forgo the heads up display. That brings up a minor annoyance with the Charger. For whatever reason, Dodge located the very small high beam indicator light where it is frequently hidden by the tach needle. Such a small thing, but so annoying. The other annoyance with the Charger is the automatic door locks. A nice day just invites windows down driving - if for no other reason than to listen to that wonderful engine. If you like to rest your arm on the window sill, those front door locks pinch when they activate. The SS has the same automatic door locks, but they are positioned just enough different that they won't pinch you when they activate. Minor beefs aside, I enjoy driving the Charger more - and driving enjoyment is why cars like the SS and Charger exist. For people who consider driving a necessary evil, there are plenty of other fine transportation appliances available for less money and operating costs. Me? I'm already scheming how to get a Charger when its time for the company to trade my SS. UPDATE 18 months down the road. . . .not a single problem or issue. Still my favorite driver car. This car has the optional LED headlights. One thing I'll add is that these headlights are really good. I never noticed how bad the headlights were on our previous car until we got this one. Other than that, I wouldn't change a think in the original review. When my wife bought this car, I did wonder whether the long term reliability of a Chrysler product could be trusted. On this car, so far, the answer has been a resounding YES. UPDATE #2 AT 24 months, the car is still solid and tight. Not a single malfunction or need for an unscheduled service. American cars should be built this well. I do wish now we had ordered the tinted windows since we ordered a dark color and the interior is black. If you park in the sun a lot, something you might want to consider. On the plus side, the color called maximum steel manages to be dark but not show dirt like a black car. Not sure how they pulled that off, but the car never really looks dirty even when it is. Driving enjoyment hasn't faded one iota. We've put on some highway miles in the past months and the highway fuel mileage is amazingly good for such a powerful car. In the normal around town driving, the car is a bit of a pig with gas. Still willing to buy another, but no need to as this has been such a good car thus far. Update #3 Due to moving to an area that requires more frequent travel off of paved roads, my wife decided to replace the Charger with a Jeep. The. Charger is not a good choice for unpaved roads. Our 3+ years of ownership was a revelation. Like a lot of buyers, we were leery of Chrysler build quality. After 60k miles, the car is still tight and trouble free. I don't know if our experience is typical, but I'd consider it the best built car we've ever owned - and that experience includes Toyota, Honda and Mercedes. One other unexpected bonus. We got more than the original sticker price in trade on the Jeep. Might be due to the car shortage, but these things appear to hold their value really well.
