s**y dark gunmetal goddess
Bought it brand new and it still gets compliments today. Got it repainted in a deep dark gunmetal makes it look even sexier. My husband is jealous of it.

Good muscle car, good power and it is a good choice.
Good speed and performance none a gasoline saver, looks very good and a good option for a sports car. Good driving. The suspension need some improvement. Very convenient in space from inside. A lot of space compared to others. Good view but not to much on blind sites.

This amazing car isn't as expensive as you think. It may look and act expensive but it's actually way these then what you're thinking.
I love how fast the acceleration is. Then the seats are very comfortable. Gas mileage is also pretty good.

Looks closer to the original then the others. But more comfortable.
I have a 2011 Rally with up graded sound system and moon roof. I bought it used with 10,000 miles on it. The first owner switched out the exhaust system. It sounds great. Big and comfortable , slow out of the hole but extremely quick once you get going. I ran it at Watkins Glen speedway, and it handled much better than anyone expected.

The most comfortable car you will ever drive. Looks flashy and has great power.
Great performing and comfortable looks are modern. Has an automatic and leather interior there is not very much leg room in the back seat the new tires cost 1000 for a set of 4 I would buy another one if this one were to wear out basically little problems with maintaining the car.

My own opinion of a very special car.
No problems, amazing car to drive, handles perfectly. Guess the only issue would be that the open roads which are hard to find are the best place to really push down on the pedal and see just how fast this baby can go. This car is very reliable, comfortable and safe.

Good & reliable sports car.
It gives decent mileage for a sports car. Pretty reliable vehicle as well. It has decent space in the front. However, the back can be a tight fit because it is a coupe. It is fast & rides smoothly. Be prepared to pay for premium gas. You could put medium, but I'd still put premium (rather be safe than sorry).

Super spacious! Love how it drives.
This care is very durable, it gets me a where I need to go plus more. I am so happy with my purchase of this car. Everyone loves my car and asks me about it all the time. I sometimes wish I had a smaller car because of the gas. But other than that it is an amazing car.

The 2011 Challenger could have a lot of problems...buy the warranty.
I've had a lot of problems with it. On the good side, I had an extended warranty that paid for everything.
accountCircle josh B
It's such a fast car I love driving it.
It has a hard time making sharp turns but overall it's a really good make. The windshield is a little low but it's good for some people and for me. Also there just isn't a whole lot of space for people in the back so it hard to drive my family in it but I love the car.
accountCircle Ann S
Amazing car everyone needs.
It is great, I have no problems with my car at all. It is super comfortable and I have no regrets. It is very reliable because it never has any problems even if it is a little old. I recommend this car to everyone who is looking for something to last a long time.
accountCircle Brittany L
Good vehicle that just got a short.
I love the fact that it's cheap on gas, but I do have problems with the key fob and the window. I think it may have a short on the driver side. I like the key fob can be used as a key also. Another issue though is when I use my key to unlock my door the alarm is triggered.
accountCircle Kyle K
What it is I think about my vehicle
My vehicle is in good condition it's fairly new low mileage and I have great insurance other than that my vehicle is in perfect condition I love you very much and don't plan on trading at. Although I do wish they gave better pricing on the monthly payments required for insurance renewal services for my driving record and for my vehicle and how new it is and how good my driving is I should be getting quoted or at least that's invaded way better prices

My car is very fast and also very cheap.
Well the dodge charger 2011 is a very excellent car. I think the car is over qualify all the cars. Is very fast and huge. It comes In Different colors. Also the interior is very big and clean. Also the car is very heavy duty. And I'does not take to much gas.

The rims on this vehicle are nice and they make the car more appealing
This vehicle is absolutely comfortable. The durability of this vehicle seems to out due my last Dodge. I'm very happy with all the detailed comforts it comes with. The stock stereo system is very loud and I didn't need to add extras to the stereo system. I really l I'm e loud music. Living in Arizona it's very hot and the air conditioning system is great.

2011 dodge challenger rt v8 5.7l.
I have a 2011 dodge challenger r/t 6-speed manual transmission v8 5.7l hemi. After 9 years of driving, it still runs great. It did have a recall for the alternator and I did have to replace the clutch. I have had to replace the fuel pump due to leaking gasoline and I am currently in the process of replacing the emergency brake.

It is decent. It is an older model, so there are some kinks that needed to be worked out, which dodge has done with the newer models.

For the most part, yes. I have had the car for about five years and the only major problem I have had was needing a new alternator, which was covered under recall.

We've had a wiring issue with the passenger window, but it was a simple fix. And the alternator went out, but it was a recall so it was a near painless fix as well. So yes, it's reliable. Minor... Read More

Is The 2011 Dodge Challenger A Good Value?

I bought my car used it is a 2011 it had 67,000 miles on it and I paid $12,000 for it well worth the money in my opinion.
Patsy F.
When I purchased mine in 2013, the cost was $24,000. It had very low miles (like new) so, at the time, I felt that was a good value.
Michael S.
My Challenger was 22,000 and it had 56,000 miles on it. So not completely new but nearly new. I got it a little cheaper than blue book value and yes, good value.
Victoria F.
$35,000. Good value for the car. Love the opportunity of driving a good car for the price paid. Would purchase another one in future
