8 speed V6 2012 Charger is a beast! Trust me it does not dissapoint . I love my Blacktop I get about 25 mpg right now and I haven't even broke in the engine. No mods no nothing, I just got it dyno, 284 HP. Not bad at all. 0-60 6.3 seconds , its a muscle car point blank.

Just got one of these beauties. Smooth V6 and nice quiet ride.

How's it holding up, years later? Any problems with it, or has it been reliable?

I absolutely love my 2011 charger rt max AWD . Very comfortable inside and gorgeous exterior . They hit home run with this car . You have to have the fin on the back . It really adds a lot to the looks . Way to go Chrysler .

Oh, heaven forbid you'd actually have to duck your head down to get into the back seat! That's just too much effort for most people. :P

CR should stick to driving microwave ovens and computer printers...

Charger is in a different legue from other sedans at this price point mainly due to the RWD and aggressive styling.

I just bought a 2008 Silver Charger,,, its beautiful and functions nicely,, I think it was a good buy,, not a great buy ,, but a good buy.

I agree, but it's shame you have to upgrade to the SXT to have an 8. I'm not to big of a fan of the Mercedes 5 auto either, but it was a big improvment over the 42LE 4A.. What I do know it that it did return 29 MPG avg and more than 33 MPG cruising down the freeway. My only complaint about the new pentastar engine is that it could use a higher tourqe rating which is only 10 ftlbs more than the engine it replaced. But that said it is the best full size car out there.

The " old " charger had poor visability? I had a 68 Charger R/T with a 440 magnum engine and I could see out of it just fine. You could also see well out of the rear view mirror .That is where you looked for the competition.

+zombienectar By old Charger, I think he meant the previous generation (2006-2010). But yeah, the old Chargers must have been awesome.

For you in the north a all wheel drive charger would work for you . I have read that they work well out west where there is lots of snow .

I think it's so you can insert an SD card with music on it.

1:26 The charger isn't a sports sedan? what about the srt8?

I am the biggest Dodge fan, and I have to say even with the criticism I think this was a very fair look at the Dodge.

i love DODGE

I got the V6 charger because of the look of the car The V8 does have more power but comes with bad MPG

what is the slot above the cd input for?

@trumpetbrandon they have a 8 speed version now.

@Hidezepickle I've seen the shifter of the car, it looks similar to the Audi A8.

@trumpetbrandon you can get an 8 speed auto

Relics like that transmission and that huge 3.6 V6 are holding American brands back from properly competing with European and Japanese manufacturers.

the 06'-10' Chargers had reliability issues up the ass...the 11'-present is a much bigger improvement

@trumpetbrandon i know i have one and now i wish i would of waited for the 8 speed. considering trading next year for it

the best way to get more backseat room is to make an extended-wheelbase Charger

And notice Tom Mutchler is always rating Chrysler products. Now I'm not loyal to any brand or make but CR isn't as creditable when judge a Mopar product.

i like it. there just arent any rwd cars anymore, and the tunnel to the back is a small price to pay for a much better driving experiance than front drive. also, all wheel drive cars also have a driveshaft going to the rear. awd is an option on many full size sedans (including Charger), so its not even a concesion. Also Mr. Weird Beard, the v6 is a good engine, but dont lie - the only reason to have it is if you cant afford the Hemi.

wht is the song called at 4 seconds?

@hollbri2 The LaCrosse and Taurus is designed for older car shoppers, average age. The Charger is for the younger market.

@trumpetbrandon 8 spd is out now

@Intechdude300 Remember the Super Bowl ad? Chrysler promoted the 200. But 200 has some work to do according to CR. They should've promoted the Charger, and its luxury cousin 300 as its primary car. Recently, Chrysler did an ad for the 300 with Ndamukong Suh with his trip to his hometown of Portland, OR. They should've promoted the 300 or Charger. Also, remember next model year the Pentastar engine gets the new 8-speed auto. HEMI engine shoppers... not so lucky.

i test drove one today the visibility was not all that good and forget about seeing out the passenger side if u have a passenger in the seat..

For anyone who owns one of these Chargers....has the car been reliable for you? I want to know because I might buy one.

dmazero Thanks for the response. I was looking to buy a used SXT with the V6 and 8-speed, just like yours. Why would police fleets used Chargers if they weren't solid, reliable cars? My town uses Chargers for their cruisers, though I don't know what engine and transmission they have in them. When Consumer Reports' data says the Charger is unreliable, I'd like to know why. I live in Massachusetts and thus am a bit concerned about driving one in the snow, though, since I'd get the RWD version.

@trumpetbrandon it has a zf 8 speed now, same as the bmw 5 series i believe its pretty FUCKING AWESOMEEEEE

Now, both the Charger and the Chrysler 300 uses the 8-speed automatic in the Pentastar V6. Only the 5.7L HEMI uses the 5-speed auto; not sure when they'll put the 8-speed auto with the cars. It's there in the Ram 1500 Truck.

@Intechdude300 Dude, you really need to apply to some magazine, cars.com or consumerreports. You really are a genius when it comes to things like this lol

quit whining about rwd layout taking up more space. i'd buy rwd over fwd anyday even if i have too sacrifice a little space.

Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep are all the same company.

the only chargers with problems of reliability was the older ones with the 2.7 v6. they were shit the new 3.6 is better than the 3.5 which i have a friend who beats his everyday since new (2007) and it still works great. the rt's never had a problem nor the srt.

@MeMo5682 Other that we don't like to spend a crapload for a BMW?

My 06 Civic's trunk looks bigger than that.

i want one :)

I like because of ANGRY HEADLIGHTS! GRR! SO FCKING...! KILL!!

i heard chargers arent really reliable... im buying th 2012 rt so this is kinda a problem

1:56 CHRYSLER ??

When you stop talking and look ahead, your facial expression becomes very weird (0:57) all of a sudden.

hmm you know i really don't mind dodge maybe i should think twice before bringing up a fight on cars hey?

What???

big car, small interior

nooooo its not

I don't like the new styling

lol this is stupid the v6 n v8 get the same mpg i went from ga to ma in my 2011 charger r/t hemi n got 28.5 mpg so thats awsome

Man! Ta vie doit etre plate en salle!

@betatalk357 So what do you want? A plastic ball with a plastic interior wich looks like nothing special? I'd rather get a nice quality interior with leather seats and a powerful engine in a muscular body than an ugly piece of crap full of plastic and a powerless engine in the front.

Responsive turning is a joke. I have a '14 Charger SXT, 3.6. It is the worst turning vehicle Ive ever driven. and Ive had 3 Crown Victoria sedans. With optional Police Interceptor packaging.

wheelman1991 I had an 04 Clown Dic, and my '13 Charger Pursuit is light-years ahead of that tired old junk. steering is amazing. too bad you've obviously never driven a newer charger to be able to make a credible opinion.

lemme guess... HONDA & TOYOTA... Because those tin cans have plenty room?

crude outdated American styling....

There are no styling queus from the old chargers.There's nothing redeeming about this or any ugly 4-door 5000pound sedan. Nothing like my 1968 Charger. This has absolutely no cool factor about it, it's the same as driving a taxi cab, even the ones with a so called hemi in them. Keep the challenger, kill this charger as it's an insult to the real namesake. Ugly from front to back and everything in between. At least it's not orange, the f*cking ugliest color ever on a car, especially chargers.

They are cheap cars and they are very unreliable.
