I already loved the way the new Chargers looked on the outside, but never considered purchasing one due to the previous bad experiences with Chrysler products that my family members have had. I drove a Charger last November at a local auto expo, and was thoroughly impressed! I already assumed it would be fun to drive, but I was astounded at how solid and well made it was. It is rock solid, and will cruise at 100 mph as smoothly as if it were standing still. (Professional driver on closed course. Do not attempt :-) ) Initial build quality is on par with the Japanese marques that I usually own. It is really hard to believe that this car came from the same company that manufactured my wife's dreadful 2010 Chrysler Sebring, the car that made her swear off American cars for life. When it came time to shop for a new car in February, I test drove a number of different makes and models, never really thinking that I would seriously consider a Charger. And yet, no other car came close to matching the combination of performance, style, and quality the Charger offered; it was the easiest choice I had ever made on a new vehicle. The 5.7 Liter HEMI V8 is legendary. I always start the car with the remote start feature as I walk up to it, just to hear that sweet rumble. And this car is packed with technology that actually works. It comes standard with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, so there was no need to buy the Navigation package; I simply use the navigation app on my smartphone. There are countless small features that show how much thought was put into the overall design. The hood has gas struts instead of the aggravating prop rod, there are courtesy lights galore, hooks in the trunk to hang plastic grocery bags, and the list goes on. No one would select a car based on these small details, but they make a great car even better. I was never impressed by the aesthetics of the instrument panel while sitting in the car, as I had done at previous car shows. But when I drove it, everything clicked. For some reason, the excellent ergonomics of the instruments and switchgear while driving the car made the appearance of IP more palatable; I still have not figured out how that is possible, but it's true! The exterior design is perfect for its intended demographic: those enthusiasts looking for an unashamedly American, no compromise muscle car (yeah, it is assembled in Canada, but still...). It is beautiful, in my opinion. There are none of the obnoxious and superfluous bulges, creases, warts, goiters, flaps, slits, nostrils, fins, or claspers that most new cars are plagued with. Who decided that the front of a car needs to look like a giant insect anyway??? Lookin' at you, 2018 Camry. It will not appeal to everyone; luxury car snobs will not be impressed. Who cares? They weren't invited to this party anyway. I have surprisingly few nits to pick about this car; they got all of the big things right. I can really only think of two small items that I would change...there is no rear seatback release in the trunk like my older Camry had; the seatbacks have to be released from the interior. Also, I wish the active exhaust had a "quiet mode" like the new Mustangs (the only redeeming feature about the new Mustangs, IMO). I don't think the exhaust is loud enough to offend any neighbors, but I still feel a little self-conscious coming or going when my neighborhood is asleep. ***UPDATE 11-04-19*** I am still insanely happy with this car! I am halfway through my 3-year lease, and have already decided that I will be leasing another Charger when my current lease is up. This has honestly turned out to be one of the best cars I have ever owned; definitely THE best for road trips. I have been on several now, and it is rock-solid and glued to the road. No back or butt fatigue after 8 hours in the saddle. Even with my lead foot, I can get 22 mpg on the highway. Not great, but what it lacks in economy, it more than makes up for in FUN!! The OEM tires only lasted 20k miles; replaced them with a set of Continentals (highly recommended!). There have been a few annoyances, but none would deter me from having another Charger: * Twice, the backup camera has not worked, but both times it came back on the next day. * The A/C compressor started making a whining noise at around 10K miles. It is very subtle, and has not bothered me enough to take it in for repair. * Everybody that gets in the back seat bumps their head, so now I make sure to warn people (the people that I like anyway). * The blind spot warning “horn” is WAY too loud, even on the lowest setting. It needs to be a “chime” like Mazda uses. * I still wish that the exhaust had a quiet mode, and that the rear seatbacks had a release in the trunk. That's it! I cannot think of anything else I would change about this car. I still get frequent comments on the beautiful F8 Green paint, and the way the car sounds. I could go on and on, but I am running out of spac

2019 Dodge Charger R/T 4dr Sedan (5.7L 8cyl 8A)
16 of 16 people found this review helpful
I rented a Hertz Charger R/T (with the smaller V8 motor...) for an 800 mile road trip from Santa Barbara to Santa Fe. I was by myself, and would have been bored to death on such a long drive in just about any other rental car...but not the Charger. It was rock solid at 80 / 90 mph (thanks no doubt to the Mercedes chassis) and the sound of that Hemi never got old. Sure - fit and finish is sketchy, the interior looks cheap (although I found the driving position and the seats perfectly comfortable), and Dodge reliability may not be the best - but for about $30K (for an R/T, with available discounts), this car and it's Challenger cousin have to be two of the best bargains around, at least for those of us who want to be able to enjoy our time behind the wheel. To be perfectly honest, I found the Charger more entertaining to drive than my 605hp Audi S8 Plus - I'm not kidding! "Cheap but cheerful" sums up this terrific automobile...

My van is in the shop having warranty work so I was given a Charger. I have enjoyed the styling of the Charger, also receiving many complements on the "muscle car" sitting in the elementary school parking lot. With its 300 horsepower and 264 lbs of torque, I have very easily left everyone at the light. The smoothness of acceleration combined with the ability to hug any curve transports me back to my younger days. I could only imagine the power of the Hellcat or even a GT. The front seats are incredibly comfortable, even if they are cloth. My kids are struggling to get in and out of the back and complain with the lack of leg room they were accustomed to with our van. They frequently hit their heads getting in. My kids do enjoy the ride but would take their beloved entertainment center over this any day. Overall, the car is a very solid and is convincing enough for me to consider when I don't have as many kids to cart around. I feel like I can have my cake and eat it, too.

So far so good, car has been running great no issues, one recall software-based quickly handled, I have the 5.7 plus with super track pack. I love the looks, and people will stop to compliment the car. Front seats are very comfortable and have a lot of flexibility with lumbar support, its a great feeling when driving the car and knowing you can quickly accelerate if needed. Backsets are also comfortable with lots of room for passengers, the large trunk is excellent. I find the visibility in the car to be okay, however, you do have to be careful in getting into the back seats that you do not bump your head, once you know this you can adjust how you get in and there are no issues. I feel very safe in this car, and I like all the safety features included in my package. Well, its a V8 so gas can go fast if you drive it in sports mode all the time, I not a crazy driver so I have been lucky in getting 21mpg overall so far. Update: 3 years later and the car has had no major issues, being thru a couple of dings which were repaired, great condition, only issue I had was the warping of the plastic on one of the passenger doors which was replaced under warranty! all the above applies still! Milage is more like 20 mpg average highway and local roads, this is my primary car and I feel very safe when driving, V8 has saved me from getting into accidents, especially on the Highway, very reactive and safe!

Rented this '19 Charger R/T with a Hemi 5.7 for a business trip that took me a couple hours south of Kansas City. I nicknamed the car "rocketship". I'm a car-guy who restores 60's muscle cars on the side and I had more fun driving this Charger than anything but my 69 Firebird 400 Convertible. It's surprisingly quiet at speed and has all the punch you need at any speed. The suspension ate up potholes and road imperfections while proving stable and always in smooth control. The brakes did their job when an 18 wheeler decided he liked my lane better than his and the handling was surprising flat on turns at speed with almost no body roll....quite a feat given the size and weight of this car. Overall, it was a great experience and if Dodge figures out a way to make the V8 versions all wheel drive, I'd have one in my garage.

I bought this car because my two daughters live and work far away and I visit them often. I wanted something smooth and quiet and I got an outrageous deal on the Charger so I pulled the trigger. So far I think this may be the best car I’ve ever owned, I can’t stop driving it. The v6 has enough power for spirited acceleration and I’m very impressed with the 8 speed transmission-I’ve never been impressed with an automatic tranny before. I’m an old guy (64) and I’ve had no problems using any of the electronics, Apple car play, etc. Very user friendly interface. Getting ready to take the first long trip soon and I’ll update the review with comfort and mileage results.

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.

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.

During the summer of 2018 I was pondering either the Mustang GT or Camaro for a new true high performance car. I then owned a 2013 Mustang V6 which was THE MOST DISAPPOINTING CAR I had ever purchased. There is a reason why you can find a ton of aftermarket performance and handling fixes online for the Mustang. It just is not what you might be expecting. Now I would never have considered a Charger. Not for a minute. But we had an air trip and a rental agency put us in a 2018 5.7L Charger. I thought, this will be fun. It was way beyond just fun. After ten miles, my wife said, this is the car we should buy. It was unbelievably comfortable for my 6 foot frame and for my wife as well. It was stone quiet on the highway. It got 26 m[pg on our freeway drives. It handled like a dream, i.e., tight, responsive and quick to turn in. Try as I might I could not provoke any dreaded understeer. The brakes (all four wheels had 4 piston Brembos and slotted rotors) were fantastic. The suspension soaked up the bumps, but the car had virtually zero body roll or the evil hard stop nose dive habits. We cruised for a while at 100 mph on I-91 in VT with no sense that this was a problem. The 8 speed ZF transmission shifted quickly and smoothly and always seemed to be in the right gear for the situation. Paddle shifters were instantly available and worked perfectly. We had the car for about ten days and loved every minute in it. When we returned home I sped to a dealer and drove the SRT 6.4 L rig. Astounding power and handling. I drove some bumpy twisters that would put my 2013 Mustang (which had about $500 of aftermarket suspension fixes) totally out of shape (I mean totally). The big Dodge just spooled through those turns suspension silently doing its thing. I learned a ton just by crawling all over the SRT. The front suspension is a dual ball joint arrangement. It works. Period. The rear independent suspension multi-link. Turns out this suspension setup came from Daimler Benz years back and has been substantially improved by the Chrysler engineers. The shocks are Bilstein gas types. I had l onged for those for years instead of the OEM junk that came with my Mustang. The hood is aluminum, nice to have that in my car not in some pickup truck. The front brakes have cooling air ducts direct from the grille. So I bought the 6.4 L SRT with the Dynamics Package which added 6 piston Brembos to the front along with huge two piece slotted rotors (lighter than all cast iron rotors). 4 piston Brembos rear. Forged alloy 20" x 9.5" wheels. Some other features hidden beneath the metal: Engine seamlessly drops to 4 cylinders for low load situations thus reducing fuel consumption but jumps to 8 cylinders if you need instant power. Battery in the trunk to help weight distribution. Limited slip diff standard, Fully lined trunk and trunk lid. Trunk floor of conformal molded plastic with a lift loop and hook to hold it open (Mustang trunk floor was a piece of masonite). Hood supports are gas struts not a junky prop rod (Mustang). Locking gas cap released from inside the car (not available on Mustang). Awesome sounding multi-mode exhaust standard ($900 extra on Mustang). Lovely underhood area showing off the huge engine with all wiring and plumbing carefully laid out and encased in protective materials. Power adjustable front seats with fully adjustable lumbar supports (they move up and down as well) for both driver and passenger (only for driver on Mustang). Fabulous standard sound system. Large crisp center display/touch screen for all the techy features with a second center panel digital display between the tach and speedo featuring all-selectable special instruments plus a personalized setup capability. It will even chide you if you forget to cancel a turn signal. Cool. As mentioned elsewhere here, the car is set up for both Apple and Android phones which will give you a full nav package display in the center panel. HID headlights, all other exterior lights LED. Automated blind spot warning (audible and in mirrors). I am going to run out of space. I could go on for another page or so. I am about 18 months in to having this car. We've taken several long trips. It has proven to be flawless and very enjoyable to drive. My wife loves it. It is so quiet inside when cruising we can easily converse. It has not yet experienced a single problem (quite a change from my 2013 Mustang which after a few months could find its own way back to the dealer). If you have not considered this car you will be doing yourself a favor by going for a test drive. I would call it a world class 4 door sedan with fantastic handling, brakes and power. Lovely to look at and a joy to drive and own.

Finally my own Hemi: R/T Plus/Super Track Pak
LGK1974, 11/25/2018
2018 Dodge Charger R/T 4dr Sedan (5.7L 8cyl 8A)
14 of 18 people found this review helpful
After years of pining and lusting over Mopar muscle cars, I finally took a leap ... I am 6 months in to my lease of a Destroyer Grey 2018 Dodge Charger R/T with Plus Package and the Super Track Pak. I have been leasing Hondas, Infinitis, and most recently a Lexus GS350 F-Sport, and this is my first non-Japanese car since 2001. With 6 months and 9,000 miles, I am extremely satisfied with the car based upon its intended use as a performance-oriented large muscle car. The car has surprised me with its premium feel, and continues to put a smile on my face every day with every start. I had been seeking a Scat Pack 392 for months, but I decided the added expense for the larger lease payment, gas, and insurance wasn't worth it - and that pragmatically I would be unable to really fully use and enjoy the 392's power. The Super Track Pak option includes the SRT body work and goodies that comes with the Scat Pack (front fascia, rear fascia with 2.75-inch round exhaust tips, hood with intake bulge/duct, side sills, Dodge Performance Pages, and allegedly a "performance" suspension (an upgrade from the AWD and base R/T "sport" suspension, but not the all-out "high performance suspension with Bilstein shocks" that is standard on the Scat Pack - all of which is now standard on 2019 Charger R/T models). The combination of the Plus Package with Super Track Pak also "releases" the nicer front seats - the leather/suede Alcantara heated and ventilated seats. They look nice and feel great, and it's one of those features that continually reinforces feeling satisfied with the car. Other options include Navigation, Moonroof, and black painted roof. The 5.7 Hemi V8 is plenty powerful for daily use and with the Active Exhaust (and round exhaust tips), it sounds amazing, delivering an old-school, deep burble; I am a muscle car and Mopar enthusiast, and this scratches the itch!! Using remote start is a guilty pleasure just to hear the Hemi start-up. Full throttle get-aways and highway passing reveals an all-out beastly sound from the engine - and it's glorious. Gently rolling into first gear from a standstill and then really stepping on it breaks the rear wheels loose. If driving in the rain, I suggest you have nearly a full tank of gas and avoid sudden throttle inputs of more than 1/3 of pedal travel - you can break the rear wheels loose in the rain if you're not exercising just a bit of restraint. It reminds me that the 392 would have been too much for my daily use. The 8-speed automatic transmission is excellent. I love the louder exhaust in Sport Mode, and in combination with manual shifting, is a tremendous amount of fun. One item to point-out for anyone seeking a very high level of performance: The transmission does not shift as quickly as in the 392 models, even in Sport Mode, however the shifts are still very satisfying and quick enough. I find the ride and handling to be an excellent and impressive balance. It's smooth, handles corners with surprisingly little body roll, and inspires confidence. My car with the Super Track Pak and advertised "performance" suspension felt definitively more premium and less rough than the two base R/T cars I drove. I find the interior pleasurable and relatively easy to use - yes, some interior bits don't have the best fit-and-finish, but it's clear that Dodge/FCA are making improvements. The U-Connect system is good, and the inclusion of Apple Car Play is excellent - I use it all the time. I think I've used the U-Connect navigation twice in 6 months. The Dodge Performance Pages are fun - I have tried Launch Control and I think it's very good, though not necessary. Although not advertised as such, the car has "automatic climate controlled seats and steering wheel." If it's really cold, the heated driver seat and steering wheel automatically go on. If it's really hot, the ventilated/cooled driver's seat goes on. This is a great luxury. Fuel economy is as expected. With 80% highway and 20% city including manual mode fun driving, I achieve 18 to 19 mpg on 89 mid-grade. On a 260 mile trip I achieved 26.5 mpg. Gripes include: Not enough room in the foot well - some shoes rub on something when I lift from accelerator to brake pedal. I can't figure out how to have text messages send an audible alert while driving, both with and without using Apple Car Play; I constantly miss text messages. On just 2 or 3 songs, the speakers emit an odd and disturbing sound - almost like the sound of the locks locking. Haven't brought it in yet to the dealer for this issue. The red gauge accents do not provide enough clarity in the speedometer and tachometer, and I find it difficult to quickly scan the gauges while driving. There should be more rear leg room and space in a car this big! Make the automatic rain-sensing wipers part of the Plus Package!!! More than an upgraded sound system, I wish I had the rain sensing wipers. I am very, very satisfied with leasing my Charger R/T.

Dream car - I just love this TOY!

I started researching this car starting with the 2015 model and learned as much as I could about the car, my concerns were the stories of reliability at that time. What I did see was improvement every year and the car getting great ownership reviews. Once the 2018 model came out, I started noticing fewer concerns from owners on repairs and reliably. Significant improvement in the selection of trims and what could be added creating excellent value for what you got with the package. So in March 2018 when my old car started to cost me more to own than repair, I decided it was time to pull the trigger and start looking for my dream car, which I had obsessed for 3 years learning everything about it good and bad. I purchased a Dodge Charger R/T -Granite color - plus package - navigation and travel -super track pack which comes with the most awesome rims and hood scoop. I just love the way I feel in this car, not only does it look and sound fantastic its a joy to drive. 1 year of ownership with no issues and excellent performance, I even love to do my own detail on the car as it gives me great pride in ownership.

First off, I wanna say I have the charger model and not challenger. ( both have literally every component and engine part the same except the cab) This car is my child. It’s insane speed, roaring exhaust and intimidating look made it an easy choice for the car of my purchase. The only con I have with this car is the MPG. It’s not good and it’s even worse when you drive it around everyday like it’s stolen. HOWEVER, when you buy a car like this you know what you are getting into. No one should be complaining, especially if you Daily drive it, like me.

Car developed a problem at 100 miles and two days into owning it. Dealer - on Chrysler’s so so - has replaced a sensor, two oil pumps, a cam chain tensioner, a PCM, a radiator, and a engine wiring harness. Still not fixed. Car has been at dealer over a month now. Chrysler expects me to continue waiting. No other option. Just terrible customer service!

I like how my car looks. It gets 29 mpg highway. I have the 3.6. It has 292 hp. Plenty of performance. Cruises well at higher speeds and has good acceleration in the 45-70 mph range for freeway merging. I’m glad I bought this engine. It is Rear wheel drive, which I prefer. The 8 speed transmission is outstanding. Downshifts feel matched and crisp. The steering nicely telescopes far rearward. My disappointments are the seat cushion is short. It doesn’t match the tall seat back. And the radio speakers are the worst sounding car audio system I’ve ever heard. I’m going to have to aftermarket upgrade the speakers and have something else put in. I’ve heard JBL is a good replacement brand for the charger.

This is a great highway car. It will run 90+ all day long and get good mileage doing it. It has a great transmission, even though my rt only has 375 hp, the 8 speed transmission and good motor torq make it feel and perform really well. What you get for the price is such a bargain. Would buy again.

While my title sounds biased, the car earned it even after five years of saving from military paychecks. I custom ordered my car from the factory while i was stationed in germany and the moment it got there i knew it was special. Even now in south carolina after my PCS it has nothing but compliments. Dodge does and always had used magic to make these machines something to remember. My only ire is that i will absolutly spin when it is wet out. But its hard to tall down to my car.

Traded in a low-mileage '15 Challenger SXT Plus on our '18 SXT Plus Leather Charger after our grandson was born for the utility of a four door. It wasn't easy to find one in B5 blue with no sunroof, but it was worth the search. The car is gorgeous. The ride and handling are excellent. The balance of power and economy with the V6 is awesome. Rear visibility suffers as it does in the Challenger, but I am extremely happy with the vehicle. I had an Impala as a service loaner for a day and was quite impressed with that and wondered why they didn't sell better. Then, I tried out the Charger and the Impala dropped out of contention. As of late February 2023, I am about four and a half years into the ownership experience and am still very happy with this car. The radio screen delaminated but was replaced under warranty. Other than that, it's been trouble free. It's February 2024 and I've recently traded the Charger toward the purchase of a Durango. Other than the radio being replaced under warranty, the only "repair" needed in about five and a half years was a new battery in August 2023. Great vehicle. Solid, comfortable, economical.

I recently purchased a used 2019 Charger GT. I paid $24,000 for it and I feel this was a good deal considering others were going for $28,000 w/ the same options. the GT looks like the RT. There is a tradeoff - the GT is quick but the RT is much quicker, but the GT saves a lot on fuel and the insurance is cheaper is well. I love the way it handles and they make a lot of performance upgrades for it as well. Give the GT a look and I think you will be happy!

I bought a previously-owned 2019 Dodge Charger in striking F-8 Green this Spring. The car had just over 9,000 miles on the odometer. This car has it all, even a heated seat and steering wheel. It's the perfect combination of style, power and performance--all in a four-door sedan. I love that when you just lift the front door handle, it immediately unlocks all four-doors. Smooth and responsive this Charger makes every other car I have ever owned look like a 1919 Model T. That doesn't mean I'm knocking 1919 Model Ts. The standard V-6 produces 298-horsepower, the 8-speed automatic provides for good fuel economy. This isn't a cop car, but it sure feels like one when you get behind the wheel and open 'er up. The build quality is exceptional. I don't believe there's a better looking, stylish or faster 4-door sedan out there. Kudos to Dodge for having the car's part built in the U.S. and assembled in Canada. My only fault on the car is its plastic wrap-around front bumper. It cannot take a nudge without deforming or losing its matching color image. If Dodge were to sell some nice, hefty upright supports, that would eliminate that problem.

Awesome ride, ride is a bit on the rough side , but the handling is top notch. Can't wait to get to know it better. Had the car for a year now and still enjoy driving it. The ride is still on the harsh side and the fuel economy is not very good in town. As long as gas stays cheap I am OK with that.

Surprisingly good quality (so far). Fit and finish good, paint quality good, comfort excellent, power ridiculous. Price is excellent for what you get if you wait for the big end of year rebates. No way I would pay full price for it. But, I got $4850 in rebates plus another $4000 rebate then a $1000 dealer discount. In all I got nearly $10,000 off.

This car has so many positives, but the one negative, and it's a huge one, is the headlights. I can't get light 200 feet in front of me, I've tried different bulbs, aiming, and it just isn't helping. These things are dangerously dim, and it's too bad, because the rest of the car is quite honestly perfect for my use, plenty of interior room, great power for normal daily driving, big trunk, pretty good stereo system (the sound, although the screen is pretty great too, and you can see it in direct sunlight at most angles)... but I just can't get past these headlights.

305 hp is not too impressive for the car's weight. Shame on Dodge for making such a pretty car with this engine. Though the v6 ticks a little, it gets 27 mpg if you don't drive it like it's a charger. Fit and finish is almost perfect. One huge issue arose that is very dangerous. The electric power steering unit is the lowest hanging item on the car. Twice now , Ive torn the wiring harness off the unit with small branches and or road debris, rendering the car unsteerable. No skid plate is available and i would not buy this car because of this bad design. It is also very disappointing they are going all electric, caving to politics with no regard for the publics desire, nor the future price of electricity. Update: “Service AWD” dash warning appeared and the harness for the AWD actuator seems to be tied into the power steering harness and the dealer repaired it only to fail within weeks, with no offer from the dealer to replace the harness and or actuator and power steering unit. Considering the location and importance of these two issues, I traded the car in for a Kia!!!

Bought this car brand new on the lot. Beautiful car, love the interior room, stereo is AMAZING, and power is great for quick acceleration when needed. Only drawback is the door panels on all doors are peeling back from the window. I expected more in this car than that! There is NO WARRANTY on the car to fix it and no recall. This is just trashy on Dodge’s behalf because after a simple google search you’ll find it. This problem goes back several years and not only have they not corrected it, but they refuse to repair at their expense. It’s a rip off to pay for such a beautiful car only to have the inside tear up. I have never had this problem in any vehicle I ever owned and I’ve had some for 10 years or more, this is why I will never ever buy another Dodge. I will go back to Chevrolet. Not only will trade in value suck now because of the doors pulling back but also I have read from other reviewers on Google search that it causes problems with the windows which I can absolutely see that will probably happen and people are even talking about other parts of the car inside around the gearshift pulling back, apparently there’s some kind of issue with the glue made in the factory that they use. A few people that actually took their cars to have the door repaired at their own cost said that after repairing it still pulls back again in a year or two so Dodge still is not fixing the problem. They are doing the same repair to it that they originally did in the factory that caused a problem in the first place.

I have always had a hot rod. This is the only car I've ever had that can handle West Virginia mountains on cruise control. I drove this car up and down the east coast several times and got about 24 miles to the gallon. It sticks to the road nicely in turns that would flip my old G8. If you have a healthy respect for the power you will be fine. I think the brakes should be better because the power is insane. I've done about 130ish and that is feathering the pedal if you tried to jam that pedal, you'll die! I was doing about 80 and when I went under a bridge thought I hit the gas to hear the amplification and nearly smashed into a tractor trailer. Don't do that this car will kill you if you act stupid. The most negative thing is the dudes in crummy cars always trying to race me and being bitter they got beat by a girl. Then the dope boys who are always trying to steal it. In Arkansas I almost got car jacked they thought twice after they saw my dog he's 130lbs. They didn't care at all about my wireless hole puncher. Get you one but just know the criminals will love it just as much as you do. Cops hate them because they know they're no match for this monster. Other than the open recall that has no solution I haven't had any problems yet. Cold Starts are delicious! Husband hated that I bought this car and that makes me lmao! No regrets!

A cool but unreliable vehicle

I believe the Charger I drove was the "SXT" trim. It don't think it was displayed anywhere on the body of the vehicle or in the manual. I got it as a rental after expressing a lot of discomfort driving a 2020 Chevy Spark after getting tboned in my 2014 Honda Civic. I don't have much experience driving newer cars, but I was pretty impressed with the features. The vehicle's handling is a bit sluggish. It feels like you're driving a bulky car. Not sure if it's because of its weight or the difference between my FWD Civic and a RWD Charger. I was not bothered by any of this though. I would really like to own one of these one day in the future. It's a very good-looking car. However, my rating stems mainly from the mechanical issues I experienced. I was driving my gf home and on my way back I got a message in the dash saying to service the "Traction Stability Control" and then a couple of seconds later it changed to "Service Trans" and then weird instructions for stopping the car that I couldn't really make sense of. The acceleration changed drastically once this happened. It was really difficult to get the car moving from a complete stop. Even if I brought it to 3000 RPM it just seemed like barely any power was being supplied to the wheels, and I did not want to push it too much in fear of making things worse. So I pulled off at a gas station, put it in park, and turned the car off. But a lot of things were unusual about the state of the car. It was telling me that it wasn't in park and when I tried to turn it back on and shift to Reverse, I couldn't move at all. I don't think the car was actually able to shift despite moving the gear stick. I had to get a ride home since it was practically immobile. I've had zero engine problems with my Civic, so I'm extremely disappointed. I don't think I drove the Charger for a full week before problems started. I don't think I'll ever be driving one again unless it's another rental that isn't my problem when it decides to break down. Suffice to say, it's a cool-looking car if you're into that, but I don't trust Chargers and perhaps even Dodge at all anymore. Haven't driven Jeeps or Chrystlers so I have nothing to say about those manufacturers (They're under the same parent company if you weren't aware.) So I'll stick to Honda in the future since from experience, their reliability is near immaculate.
