I bought this car brand new and without checking it out just because I loved its looks, that was 10 months and 13,000 miles ago. I love this car, more today than the day I bought it, I would buy it again. It is fun to drive (have never put so many miles on a car in as short of time period). Has not had one mechanical problem, and I have had a lot of brand new cars that were constantly in the shop. Kudos for that alone!!! Sometimes I wished I bought the hemi but only because I like to drive fast, and this governs at 114 mph. (But we have no business driving that fast huh??) The AWD is great for snow, thankful for that feature, only reason husband let me buy a car instead of SUV.. It has lots of room,as much as a old granny's car without looking like one. My husband is a big guy and has no complaints. The trunk holds more groceries than I can afford to buy....read morehide

- Pros
- Tail lights, that sweet Hemi
- Cons
- None
Purchased As New
First things first. Was not really in the market for a new car, but the Valencia Dodge guys are real sweet talkers. Anyway. Test drove this great looking midnight blue Charger RT. Fell in love with the quiet interior and was knocked dead by the beats by dr dre audio system. This this is loaded with all sorts of bells and whistles... Push button start so the fob never leaves my pocket. Massive easy to use touch screen navigation. On board memory is huge. Back up camera and heated seats... The list goes on and on. Then I test drove a ford fusion... Rubbish. Back to the dodge dealer. And out the door in an hour with the new ride. Racked up 1000 miles in a week and I don't know how... (Hahaha) The power is great, and the quiet interior is gladly give way by the sound of the exaust when you floor it. Tons of space, but is doesn't feel big. I love the tail lights soo much that I leave them on during the day. Gets all the heads turning! My next one will be the SRT8... 450+ horses... Look out...read morehide

I have owned my 2011 Charger - Rally for a year and a half. I traded an 05 for this one and I can say, It is the best car I have ever owned. I travel over 200 miles a day and there is never been a time that I wished I had purchased another vehicle. My grandkids all fit nice with their car seats and there is enough room in the trunk for many large items. The options are many and I love them all...I would recommend this vehicle to everyone that needs or wants a 4 door car with lots of room and lots of fun to drive. PS my husband owns a 2012 Challenger / hemi and he too loves his drive!...read morehide

- Pros
- power, comfort, looks, the 8 speed with Pentastar
- Cons
- none
Purchased As New
The 8 speed with the pentastar is just awesome, smooth, powerful and over 30 mpg at 75mph all day since the first one. Average mpg around town is has been 22.5. How can you beat that in such a large sedan? Great handling, rides great, very quiet and solid. Only option I got was the 8 speed and sport pkg. (includes spoiler) I buy a new care every 10to 12 years, and have had great quality with Dodge. I feel the Charger is a great value and will show great quality. (5/100000 powertrain war) Some dont like the electronic shifter. Took very little time to get use to....read morehide

- Pros
- Comfort, power, interior room, features
- Cons
- Electronic shifter takes some getting used too
Purchased As New
After testing driving this beast i searched the internet till i fond a dealer that had one with the best price and options i wanted. I have to say i am extremely happy overall with this car. It has the power of a sports car with the quietness of a luxury car. This car is a head turner where ever i go! I highly recommend that you test drive this car and compare to others in the price range and have no doubt you will come back and purchase one....read morehide

Purchased As New
I have never owned a Dodge before last month. I was so impressed during the test drive I didn't haggle with the salesperson what so ever. I just bought it on the spot. The shifting of the gears is almost non-detectable at any speed which makes this one smooth riding car. The power of the V6 is no slouch after owning many BMW's with much less power. This car can get out of any traffic situation in a hurry. Combine this with the 32 mpg I've gotten on long trips over 150 miles and you can see why it's an incredible choice especially at just over $25K after dealer rebates. This car turns heads everywhere it goes and the retro tail lights on the 2012 is impressive at night. I'm sold on this car and would seriously consider getting another one in the near future especially if Dodge makes the same strides in the body styling as it has done from 2008 up to the new 2012. I'm in love with American cars all over again from back in the late 60's....read morehide

- Pros
- Fun to drive, unbelievably quick for a 6, love the dash and the looks
- Cons
- just HATE the shifter - it's going to cause accidents - what moron thought this was a good idea?
Purchased As New
Love the car, love the 1 year of Sirius, love the big touch screen. Don't need options, comes with more than you'd probably order. Good mileage, unreal performance from a V6. The shifter is TERRIBLE - why would any manufacturer do this? You can't tell by "feel" what is happening, you must look at the dash, and it's hard to go from D to R and back to D (if you poke your nose out to see traffic and need to back up)...read morehide

Purchased As New
I have a 2011.. AWD 5.7, Wherver I go people stop to talk. I paid 30k.. ONLY 30k.. I could care less if it blows up so i beat the hell out of it.. Its a Dodge and they fall apart quick.
In any event, you cannot beat that price.. I got the 2011 leftover for bargain.2 out of 4 people found this review helpful.
