9 years and still going strong.
I've had my charger for 9 years and never had a problem. Absolutely been the best vehicle. It drives awesome and feels like a heavy vehicle with power. The 6 cylinder engine feels like an 8 cylinder. The technology in the vehicle is still awesome even tho it is 9 yrs old.

Dodge charger is a great car for a young adult.
I have had my car for 5 years. Does not break down. Runs great. Super fast seats are comfy but sometimes I slide off when taking turns. The radio system is very nice. Leather seats get very hot in the summer but very nice. Heated seats are awesome in the winter.

Comfortable and good looking car!
This car is very spacious and at the same time a sports car. The technology it has is great. Runs smooth. Comfortable and good looking. For my family of 4 it is perfect even with baby car seats. If an adult were to sit in the back they would comfortably be able to stretch their feet.

It's a great car that is very comfortable to ride in.
I like the room and power it has. The way it handles and the comfort of the ride. Also I like how big the sunroof is.

My Dodge Charger handles even better than it looks. Whether driving in stop and go traffic in town or highway driving, the handling is fantastic.
I love that the truck can hold more than my van did. I love the comfort of the driver's seat. My car has a great power and a smooth ride. It also gets better gas mileage than my van did. My Dog has a great safety rating so I feel comfortable with my grandchildren in my car. The only thing I dislike is tall people have a hard time getting in and out out the car.

An upgrade from last vehicle.
I just purchased this car a couple months ago. I love all the features and it is very comfortable. I love the growl of the hemi. It's all wheel drive which is good for me living in Michigan.I previously had a rear wheel drive charger, older model. It hated the winter here.

Review of 2011 dodge challenger r/t.
This car is a very enjoyable vehicle. A quite fast on at that too. I love the way the seats feel and the way it shifts gears. Very nice engine and a quiet smooth ride. I do have a problem with it however, it is a quite heavy automobile. And I sometimes get made fun for this. But besides that it is a very enjoyable ride!

This cars don’t last ,
“They don’t make them how they used to” I now thanks to this car I know the full meaning of this phrase. I want to start of by saying , I love my car I do tune ups on time , I lube her up every where , transmission, engine , new a/c filters and all nine yards. So when my car hit 7-8 years 1. Oil cooler failed, for the inner back portion it leak coolant , so it wasn’t from over tightening. Just from having a plastic piece cool coolant at 205 degrees for 7years and sitting it in the middle of the engine the hired place in the engine bay! - bad design ! 2. 7,500 3.6 Penstar engine have been reported with either cylinder 2,4,6 misfire . Which ever one your getting , in my case miss fire on #2 . You’ll have to replace the left side cylinder head! This here are being fixed only under warranty. But not recall. So I have to pay out my own pocket. And may I remind you it’s only eight years old !!!!! 3. The power steering is going out, making a winding sound. 4. The key fob is hard to read if you open the door while on and come in . It’s some sort of glitch where it thinks the fob it’s out . 5.On its eight year exactly , the drive shaft center support gave out .out of no where randomly i turned her on and drove, but felt some off, it turns out its my center shaft support. Many issues that shouldn’t arrive this early. Or issues that if you would have think about it before designing it would make sense, like not adding a coolant/oil cooler in the middle of the engine!!!!!! My car doesn’t have a lot of mileage or years , so I put this on the maker! But it’s true they don’t make them how they used to! I have a 1964 Cadillac and she just now giving me drive shaft issues , 66 years later and new joints and she back to one hundred. THERES NO MORE PRIDE IN WHAT PEOPLE DO !

Sweet Ride but to much trouble
At first I was very happy with my car, I love the power behind the V8 engine and the comfort of the seats and easy access to all the touch screen climate controls and radio has made the inside of the car quite enjoyable. Since I have owned the vehicle there have been so many recalls on it and that has made some of the reliability less desirable. As the vehicle reaches 8 years old I have had engine problems and rear suspension problems which causes the car to get out of alignment often. Because of my rear suspension and alignment problems that continually progress, I go through a full set of back tires every 3 months! At first I was happy to have such a powerful sports car but now I regret making my decision.

Do not buy the Dodge charger unless it is a supercharged v8.
The car has more problems than you would expect. The oil cooler horse bad, the suspension goes out on you, it is bad on gas.
accountCircle Dorian L
The little engine that thought it could.
He’s frequent suspension issues and poor gas mileage and cylinder misfires after a full tune up. The was has electrical problems to where the radio controls stop working and the display screen turns completely black. Trunk light only works when it wanton to and the ac will stop blowing cold from time to time.
accountCircle Jerry E
It is an American icon car with loves and hates.
While the charger has been an overall reliable car that has never completely stopped running, it has been full of electronic problems, beginning with the radio, key entry, etc. It also has had continuous motor ticking sound that will be extremely expensive to repair.
accountCircle Nicole H
It is a nice color. It is sporty.
This vehicle comes with various electrical issues. So far I have had to replace multiple components in the engine. When the battery dies the key is useless, you cannot even open the trunk. It is a cute sporty vehicle but it is not worth the hassle. This is a love hate relationship.
accountCircle Melanie C
My car is a good car just had a little bit of problems.
Car waste a lot of gas but car is really comfortable in the inside and it is spaces the only thing I don't really like about the car is that is looks like a police car and the trim are a ok type of trims the car rides good and no other mechanical problems with the car just you always have to check the oil collen and the car air.
accountCircle Hannah G
My dodge: a comprehensive but short view of It's usefulness.
It is an okay vehicle. Guzzles gas, and the back seats are uncomfortable, but is fairly reliable. The seatbelts in the back hurt to sit on noticeably. The car feels a bit stiff to drive but the brakes work smoothly. It seems like it needs oil checks often though. 5/10, middle of the line, works fine.

Dodge charger, great small family vehicle.
It handles great and is comfortable to drive. It has good gas mileage and comes with satellite radio. If someone wants to subscribe to that service, the sounds are nice. It is a very dependable car and had been in our family a long while. The only issue is the placement of the battery. You have to remove the tire to get to it. Otherwise it is a great vehicle.
accountCircle Brandon V on May 27, 2021
Great vehicle but costly parts.
I love this vehicle the only problem is that simple repairs could have rather costly part prices for example an oil change for a regular car in my area is about 60 bucks. But the charger has a cost of 90 to 100 depending on the oil. If you do it yourself you'll spend about 50 bucks max.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Andrea S.

There is plenty of room for my kids and all of the daily sports equipment. The seating is comfortable. It looks sporty and is very functional. It handles well on any road condition. It has a solid feel and sits at a good height to the road.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Andrea S.

The gas mileage is not great. It is sometimes difficult to maneuver in tight parking areas. There are consistently mechanical issues. The cost of maintaining the vehicle is high. The insurance on it is high because it is considered a sports car but is a sedan.

About 25-30,000. I think I overpaid a little bit for my car. I think 20,000 would have been more reasonable.
