Used 2020 Dodge Charger Consumer Reviews
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.

2020 Scat Pack
The Scat Pack has way more power than you need for street driving but it sure is FUN! It's a bit too noisy and stiff on long drives so I only gave it 4 stars, but it's more like 4.5 stars.
