The pros of driving a Dodge Charger.
It rides very smooth, the interior has very clean lines. It is a very classy car. The acceleration is outstanding as well, though I would make sure there are not cops around because once that baby starts going you will not even realize what speed you are actually going.

Candy apple 2016 dodge charger.
I love my 2016 dodge charger. She is literally like 1 of my babies. I purchased her with my own hard earned money. She's candy apple red with all red everything on the inside with tinted windows. It is a very dependable car and its nice on gas. I couldn't have purchased a better car.

2016 dodge charger personal experience review.
I have had my dodge charger going on 5 years and I would totally recommend it. It is comfortable in space and travel too! I never had any issues with the car. It is a super reliable car. The car is great on gas as well. It is not too big or too small. The trunk space is also amazing.

It is imperative to keep up with the upkeep of vehicle.
I have not dealt with any issues with my car since I purchased it. As long as you keep up with oil changes, tune-ups etc. Chargers operate the way the should.

2016 Dodge Charger SXT with 40,000 miles.
My Dodge Charger SXT is the perfect mixture of power, family reliability and comfort. My vehicle is in good condition and will be a great main vehicle for me throughout the vehicles lifecycle. Although not equipped with the V-8 engine; the V-6 engine inside my vehicle has the right combination of power and gas efficiency.

Dodge charger 2016 review features.
Comfort! Not really economic with gas. . . Good engine, nice for highways! Really nice car, perfect for city/trips! Worth the price!

That it is an awesome car.
I like the way the car drives. I like the way the car handles. I love the way the car looks and sounds. There is not anything I dislike about my vehicle.

Fast, good looking, dark car.
My 2016 srt scat pack has no problems at all. It runs like a champ. I have got to 176 mph in it safely of course. I wouldn't trade, or give it up for anything. It is very reliable, gets me to where I am going quickly. It is very comfortable with the leather seat, it has a sunroof, reverse camera, and nice rims. I love it.

Piece of junk, stay away.
I have had to replace the starter on my car twice in the past year. I have lots of problems with the tires, and it does not get too great gas mileage. The driver's seat is very comfortable, but the passenger seat is not. I feel like the ac in the back seat could be a little better as well.
accountCircle Linda Terrell
Poor quality.
Both the drivers side and passenger side door panels are warped. No recall yet on this widespread issue.

The color changes in the sun.
It is a reliable car to drive. Its sporty. All leather inter. The tires are all new and no problems. Love the XM radio. All around nice care for someone without kids.It's a awesome summer car wouldn't take it out in winter. The car roomy and has led headlights.

Pair your smartphone with your vehicle.
The dodge charger has been at the forefront of muscle car design since the 1960s. From the body down to the wheels, the exterior of this classic vehicle continues to impress into the modern day. From side to side, the craft that goes into designing the interior is no small feat. With up to 104.7 cubic feet of passenger space and new interior options, comfort is the key to a perfect ride.

Plastic piece of mess, DO NOT GET IT!
I really don't like the fact that most of the parts on the car is plastic. Most of the plastic parts continue to fall off the car. I have had no accidents in the car and they continue to break apart. I want a car that I can continue to drive without it falling apart on me. The parts on the car are also really high maintenance. I can't keep paying to get things fixed and they just fall apart.
accountCircle Stephanie B
Don't romp on the vehicle because it will need a new transmission.
A 40k the transmission needs replaced, the transmission is still not fully fixed and continues to slip.
accountCircle Roderick J
Great vehicle for family and performance.
I bought this car because I wanted a muscle car but needed something practical because I have a family. Some of the pros are good power, room for a family and great tech upgrades. Cons are the interior is poorly built, heating and ac sometimes do not work properly.
accountCircle Adrian A
It is a good vehicle overall.
Drinks gas but overall I like the car. No major problems as of now and I have had it a few years. Wish it came with more features but I am satisfied and bought it at a good price. I wish I had a backup camera, sunroof, and tinted windows. And wish the car was a little bit better on gas.

Charger is comfortable riding.
Love my charger. Reliable, no mechanical issues, easy maintenance. Rides smooth great user friendly features including lots of storage compartments and places to plug in electronics lots of room for passengers and lots of trunk space for transportation. Rear heat/ac controls make passengers comfortable. OEM parts are expensive.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled David K.

I like the look and feel of driving a sporty looking car. The car is spacious for four people and not super tight for 5. I get a lot of compliments on the look of it. Trunk space is plenty of room for 2 large suitcases, or suitcase and golf clubs.

likeFilled Kevin T.

Spacious, reliable, fuel efficient, smooth comfortable ride, appealing to look at, powerful dependable motor, low cost of ownership, replacement parts if ever needed are very inexpensive and readily available at most any auto parts store.

likeFilled Cornelius B.

It is a very good vehicle is in nice shape and I love the speed of this vehicle. Also the interior just fabulous. Also the price it was very reasonable and is my everyday car so that is what I love about it.

likeFilled Courtney P.

It is fast and comfortable. It is good for single families who do not have children. Easy maintenance. I like it better than the scat pack. It is my favorite color. And most of all it is reliable. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

likeFilled Ana G.

The AWD does great in the snow. It is very spacious and comfortable to drive. Handles very well especially at freeway speeds. I feel very comfortable driving it in an conditions and speeds. Gets great gas mileage. 30 mpg on the highway.

likeFilled Wes H.

The leather seat and heating/cooling options are very comfortable as well as the remote start which helps in the summer/winter to cool/heat the car. It has nice power behind it to accelerate quickly when I need to and it even has all wheel drive, which the car automatically switches to when it detects rain or snow or ice.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled David K.

It is not the greatest for gas mileage. There are a lot better options out there and major advances in recent years for newer cars and mpg. Also, where I live it is too close to the ground. I bottom out pulling out of a lot of driveways and parking lots.

dislikeFilled Kevin T.

This vehicle is rear wheel drive and has a high amount of torque so therefore it is not very great in the snow and slippery conditions. I have another vehicle that is four wheel drive for this reason so that I may have dependable transportation in this weather.

dislikeFilled Cornelius B.

As of right now the only car that I can really think of is that I am used to big car. And over the years the Dodge Chargers have begun To come very compact and small. They are starting to look more feminine in less masculine.

dislikeFilled Courtney P.

I have no cons for my vehicle. I am very satisfied with my dodge. It is low profile and it fits my style. I love absolutely everything about my car. It is comfortable and I have lots of space to put my personal things.

dislikeFilled Ana G.

It is a boat to try and park because it is so long and wide. The sxt package does not come with a backup camera even though it has the fancy touch screen. Gas mileage goes way down driving around town and idling.

dislikeFilled Wes H.

Relatively bad mileage compared to many other sedans out there. In 'city' driving I can get as low as 14 mpg, and even on highways at best I get 30 mpg. The paint is expensive to perfectly match if you have to touch up scratches because it's a very specific white, not just plain white.

Yes just with the panels doors but the dealership fixed it already. But that’s wire because is brand new, the dealers doesn't charge me for that but is very common in those cars

Is The 2016 Dodge Charger A Good Value?

It cost about $30,000 new, but I purchased it used for $20,000. I think it is a good value for the product. It is reliable and no issues from a brand I trust.
David K.
I found a deal. But looking around at prices found it to be between 17 to 23 thousand. You can get maintenance oil change and tire care included if you look for awhile and wait patiently.
Lisa S.
18,500 and I give 4,000 down payment. But the final priced was 28,000 because I have to pay for the plaits and the insurance like the gap and others
Gina S.
It cost about 30, 000. I financed it so it does seem like a good value to me. I haven't had too many out of pocket expenses for this car except preventive maintenance and upkeep

My vehicle is currently valued around $15,000 of which is a great value even today. This particular vehicle seems to hold resale value well.
