"I didn't like the rear end of the Dodge Charger but one day it grew all around me this car is awesome and great to drive on a business trip or just a vacation. Dodge brand has got to be reliable now leaving Toyota and Honda out in the dust this car and the Chrysler 300 should be both Consumers Digest Top Ten Best Buy both of these cars are great. The Dodge Charger should be Motor Trend Car Of The Year because it has a great value not just that but its heck of one nice looking car with sporty and sexy looks to the exterior. Interior is cozy and comfortable if getting charcoal interior trim. Controls and everything all put together to control this is the best car ever i love this car and the Dodge/Chrysler brand they got to be well reliable."

"Have had the car for a year now and it has been a good year with the car. The 3.6 V6 is a good engine to me because it still has the power to pass people when you need to and gets decent fuel economy for a V6. The better thing about the 2012 models is because the have the 8 speed auto which does help with that fuel economy. My charger is currently getting 23 miles per gallon which is very decent for doing mostly city driving. The interior is very good compared to the last model of the charger. The ride for the car is very smooth and you really dont feel those bumps unless you hit a big one. Plus the car just looks really really good and you can see it coming from miles since they really improved the looks and made it look more sporty. My only dislikes about the car is that they didnt give the 8 speed auto the auto shift feature or even paddle shifters. One of the two would of been nice to have. If you want the auto shift you have to get the 5 speed auto but really kills you fuel economy or get the the sxt plus with the 8 speed auto with paddles. For the kind of money you have to pay to get a V6 8Spd auto with paddle shifters your better off getting the R/T with the V8 5 speed if you want a charger for racing. Pros for charger with V6: good gas mileage with 8 spd auto, interior is very roomy and well lighten up, comes with a touch screen no matter what a small one for radio only or bigger one for nav and so on, car body look really good. Cons: should come with auto shift on 8 spd auto or paddle shifts standard. Also should have bluetooth standard"

"I am 6'4" tall and a Civic that gets 38/39 on Hwy is tight. I got the 2012 Charger as a lease return w/17K miles on it. It is the SE, 3.6ltr, V6 w/5spd transmission. We live south of Sacramento and in a recent trip to San Diego on 99, The Grapevine and light LA stop/go traffic-we averaged 33.2mpg both directions. On the pancake flat of Hwy 99 at 65mph, we squeek out 35mpg. Lots of amenities even for a basic car and comfort for my size and petite wife. Plenty of power, mpg and comfort. Have averaged 20/21 mpg in suburban driving. Do not know what city rush hour mpg would look like."

"Only have 2500 miles on this car. Its a blacktop model and looks fabulous. People complement the design on a regular basis. When I tell them that the car gets 33-34 mpg on the open road they tend to agree that this is a great US car. The 8 speed transmission (1300 rpm at 75 mph) is what allows the car to sip gas. Ride is firm and it corners like the tires are on rails. Great car for a family/business person who needs to carry 4-5 people at times but want the world to know that they are car crazy."

"I bought a new black on black SXT Plus with blacktop package about 6 months ago. The car handles like a dream and is so much fun to drive. I only wish Dodge would offer the blacktop package on the AWD version as I would have preferred it to the RWD living in the Northeast where we get a good bit of snow. Apart from that, I love the look, the drive and especially the fuel economy - getting close to 21 city. The fuel ecomony meter is kind of a game to see how high I can get it before needing to fill up again. Love the car!"

"I traded a 2006 BMW 5 series for this car. I thought I'd never leave the Germans. However, this R/T Max V8 Hemi is amazing!! POWER!! GADGETS! Adaptive Cruise has changed my life. 8.4" touch screen with so many features! Heated and cooled seats AND cupholders! So cool! Back up cam, blind spot monitoring, cross path detection. There isn't a feature I can think of that this car does not have, and I was able to buy it with incentive s for nearly half the cost of a new BMW. PS...there's a lot of Mercedes technology in this car which I like. You'll notice some similarities from the past partnership."

"The only drawback is the tricky electronic transmission. Getting the car into the proper gear can be challenging especially if you're in a hurry."

"So much fun; love how it handles, looks...everything! The only think I am not happy with is the trunk...it is hard to keep closed when there is a lot of luggage in it. The radio also "skips" every once in a while, but other than that, this car is a blast!"
