2006 Dodge Charger consumer reviews

Bought a used Charger with less than 20,000 miles and kept it for almost four years. Never was this car inoperatable. It was dependable and I felt pretty good about its power. It was a 5.7/HEMI but because the car is so heavy it's really not that fast. Sounds good and relatively smoothe ride. I would recommend the car to anyone.

Driving the car is fun to say the least. Good takeoff, top end is there, has gotten the car up to 120mph and feels like doing 55mph. Handles well around corners. Nice cruising car as well as road trips. Bought the car used 1 and a half years ago. The down side is the maintenance at the dealership, but, its a muscle car. Trans service was around 150. Did experiance a wore out steering rack and tension strut arms on the front end, roughly 1100 to repair, this is an average occurence for this car from forums. Does sound better once you weld on aftermarket mufflers and increases fuel mileage a little, 16mpg around town, 19 to 22mpg on hwy. Trunk room and interior is very nice.

Let me begin by saying that I went against everyone's advice and purchased a Charger brand new when they first came out. December of 2005 as a 2006 model. From the start I loved the car! After two years of owning it and of course the poor manufacturer's warranty expiring things started going south. Just about everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. Here's a listing of the things I had to replace thanks to poor quality and build: HEMI Engine (very expensive), entire fuel system, transmission, window switches, speakers, entire rotors were replaced about 8 times throughout the entire time I had the car - there was a known issue with the rotors warping. The interior build is made very poorly and overtime will fade, break, chip and peel. Just check the NTSHA website for a listing of all the complaints regarding the car. With all that said I loved the car when it worked, I left many mustangs and even a BMW 645 once. The car is absolutely horrible in snow and even rainy weather as expected with an rear wheel drive vehicle. Guzzled up gas like none other, my advice is if you aren't prepared for frequent trips to the pump stay away. I would get another one but NOT as my daily driver, I would have to have a more reliable better built vehicle.

If you had to sacrifice your 2dr sports coop, in my case it was my 05 Mustang GT, for the sake of the family go get yourself a Charger. It takes the sting off.

Bought my Charger RT about 2 years ago. Have loved it ever since. Car looks and runs great. Have been very impressed with the car. Took it on a road trip to New Jersey a couple of months after I bought it and was thrilled with the results. Seats were very comfy and the large trunk really helped us pack the car. Gas mileage is decent at an average of about 20 mpg. I find that to be quite good for such a heavy car with a V8. By far the best value and most powerful sedan you can get for the money.

Very good car. Very roomy inside. Very good for tall people like me. MPG not so good but expected (i have the 3.5L and have around 17MPG) Very confortable car for road trip. I like it. Exception: Dodge service is expensive!

THE CAR LOOKS GOOD INSIDE AND OUT, I THOUGHT I GOT A PRETTY GOOD DEAL ON THE CAR, AFTER 2 WEEKS OF BUYING THE CAR I DROP 500 ON THE CAR BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION SELECTOR WAS STUCK IN PARK THE VEHICLE COULD NOT MOVE I WAS REALLY DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THAT THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO GIVE ME THE ROUND AROUND ON IT BUT I GOT THAT RESOLVED NOW IM JUST WAITING TO SEE WHAT PROBLEMS OCCURS NEXT

I have the R/T package which is the way to go when you buy a Dodge Charger. It comes fully loaded and with the Hemi you can't go wrong. It also has high safety ratings. For those of you who care about safety.

Have owned a 2006 black R/T for 1 year now, bought with 35k. Best car I have ever had! I still get a big smile on my face when I see it in the parking lot after work. Very fast, handles great, family loves it. Fits kids and tons of stuff in trunk. Gas millage is on the low side in traffic but avg around 18-20 all told. Very reliable- not one issue so far. Fine in snow with decent winter tires and we live on steep hilled driveway. Get the car you have always wanted!

I bought a used 2006 str8. The car had 17139 miles at the time I bought it. I have always been a huge corvette fan but now with 2 kids that wasn't practical. Anyways I love the car. The seats are great, the power, while not as fast as a vette is still a lot of fun. It has a nce aggressive look. I have no regrets. The car is thisty but better than my z71.
