2012 Dodge Challenger consumer reviews

Love the car, driver seat is a pain in the butt after a few hours. Wish it had gauges away from rim of steering wheel , gas gauge is very hard to see when running low , but it is a monster at the gas pump as expected. who cares if im paying for more snow at the Arab winter wonderland mall in Saudi a Arabia

I've wanted one since they first came out. I'm 50 so I can relate to the erra and have the memories to go with it. They knocked the whole retro thing out of the ball park. I originally wanted it all (HEMI, Manual tranny, etc) Realistically the PENTASTAR 3.6 is all you need. It offers the reliability, power, gas savings that we all need to think about these days. Power's no problem! I'm not racing for pink slips here....lol I did get the sport upgrade w/the paddles also. Not bad.. I play with them now and then because they're there. LMAO Pretty Cool. Compliments all the time. Body style.... Do I have to say it?? Seriously!!! This car offers such a comfortable ride it's not even funny. She's a cruiser! I'd love to take a long trip to New York or Nevada..... The interior's nice. I'm happy with it. Some might expect more but I look at it differently and so did the designer... The interior will out last the others. I know it!!! Mark my words on this 10 -50 years from now!! Oh last and not least... The back seat. Not bad for kids or maybe a few adults if it happens that you find yourself toting a few. It'll be a little tight but it;s doable. Helps if the driver and front passenger can scoot up a little. I don't necessarilly plan on having anyone in the back and I knew this when I bought it. It works for me! The car handles very well so listen to the negative reports. I'm not getting paid and I'm not getting perks for putting this out... Drive one for yourself and you'll see. I've test drove the Camaro and Mustang. They handle nice and they're sporty but they're tight inside and definitely didn't get the reto thing right. Not even close!!! Seriously...Take one for a ride!! Fir the price you pay extra for another 70-75 hp... I didn't think I needed the HEMI Good bump in the #'s although I'd really like to own one. That's OK my 2004 Dodge Ram Quad Cab 4X4 has the HEMI... AWESOME POWER!!!!!

2012 Dodge Challenger SXT provides performance while giving you comfort. V6 Pentastar provides 305HP while giving you approximately 27 MPG on highway. This in my opinion is nicest of the muscle car class, compared to mustang or camaro.

I have had two Challengers now in the past three years. I bought a 2011 shortly after they came out and got an amzaing deal on a new 2012 Challenger that the dealer needed to sell on New Year's Eve. As for the engine, I love my PENTASTAR 3.6 V6. I have used the 0-60 gauge and gotten to 60MPH in 5.88 Seconds and when I don't have my foot on the gas I can get up to 30MPG on the Highway without too much diffictuly at all. I traded for exactly the same car (different color and has the uConnect bluetooth stuff) and the mileage and joy to drive, is right there. I know that I haven't driven a Challenger since "Back in the day" but when today is "that" day, I will have driven it since then. (Say that fast five times!) In short, I love my Challenger, it is fast, beautiful, extremely good on fuel and oh so fast!

Great performance and style, plenty of room in the front, however, not so much in the back, but we all know no one really cares about the back...Dodge did it right, I have regrets.

I absolutely love this car. It's a retro mopar with European handling and perfomance. Love taking trips on the open roads. The only problem is finding a place to open it up legally. My first car was a plymouth duster and the styling reminds me of the old cars but with a lot more refinement and modern technology. The V6 can be driven calm with little effort or open it up and feel it take off.

I found the Dodge Challenger I wanted. 600 miles away. It was advertised as an automatic, just what I wanted. I called and asked the salesman if it has the paddle shifter on the steering wheel(option with the auto trans)? He confirmed it did. Long story short, I flew to Raleigh from Nashville on Fri. evening. Stayed at a motel. Next morning took taxi to dealership. Got in the car and saw the manual transmission shifter to my disbelief. Amazingly ,I liked it after a test drive but if for some reason I couldn't drive a stick, someone would be writing some checks for my traveling expenses. Moral to the story: call and ask definitive questions before actually traveling to the dealership. Who do I blame: Cars.com, Leith Dodge, and myself!

i have owned mine since sept l love the car and the handling of it. I have the 6 and it's got power Great car for what i paid for it under 20 thousand it came with tint windows and the boston stearo system.

I just went from a 2006 v6 toyota pickup to a 360 fuel injected beast! I got the r/t model with the stripes normally found on a srt. Car is amazingly powerful and amazingly comfortable. I've always wanted an old muscle car with a modern interior and dodge hit it on the head. stereo comes alive with aftermarket speakers and first move was chop off the resonators and replace stock mufflers with a set of thrush mufflers. Sounds like it's 1970 all over again all that's missing is the hood sucking in when you tromp on it. car is crazy fast and handles very well at speeds up into the triple digits. gets about 23 mpg cruising at 90. I love this car!

I've had my Challenger since July and belive me it's a great car. Very well built with no problems so far. I have the SXT Plus model with the V6 engine and the SS/T package which gives you high performance brakes, sunspension, steering, 20 inch rims, and a 3.06 rear axle for better low end acceleration. It's not the HEMI version but it gives great performance and as my daily driver is more than up to the task. Nice interior quality and retro looks. Everything about this car is sold and up to my expectations.
