2007 Dodge Charger SRT-8 4dr Sedan (6.1L 8cyl 5A)

Review

This is a a classic muscle car in that it's loud and a bit heavy. Other than that, it's fun to drive! My kids love riding in this car - I can't be more than a mile from the house before I hear, "Hit it, Dad!".

Favorite Features

The digital display in the speedometer takes some getting used to, but it's awesome.

Suggested Improvements

What's with the cruise control being the turn signal's "mini me"? Every other car has the turn signal at 9 o'clock. What's with having it at 8 o'clock and the cruse control at 10 o'clock?

Go For It

2007 Dodge Charger SRT-8 4dr Sedan (6.1L 8cyl 5A)

Review

Traded up from a Mustang GT because I wanted the performance but needed the room. This 4000+ pound vehicle handles better and goes faster than the Mustang. I bought it for performance not mileage, so the gas pump doesn't scare me. This is the new generation muscle car that you will see in car shows for years to come.

Favorite Features

The seats are more comfortable and hold onto you when you corner sharply. The dash is laid out well with easy to see and reach controls. The electronics display is very useful.

Suggested Improvements

At this price point I would have liked to see memory seats/mirrors. The door panels could have been upgraded. Wish I had a spare.

It's got a Hemi

2007 Dodge Charger RT 4dr Sedan (5.7L 8cyl 5A)

Review

This is really a fun car to drive. Ride and handling are great. A terrific highway vehicle. When you step down on the gas, it goes. Mileage is about 22 MPG on the highway, 19 around town. I stand 6' 5" and I have plenty of head and leg room, front and rear. Has a big trunk, and rear seats fold forward to accommodate long items.

Favorite Features

Leather interior & seat heaters.

Love the Charger

2007 Dodge Charger RT 4dr Sedan AWD (5.7L 8cyl 5A)

Review

Checked out lots of cars and SUVs prior to purchase. The Charger beat all of them hands down. The car looks great, drives like a sports car and rides like a Cadillac. One of the few that offered AWD in my price range and had an excellent rebate as well. I needed something to haul the kids around in that wasn't boring.

Favorite Features

AWD, Hemi, Sirius, leather, exhaust note. Base sound system is excellent. Quality of construction, paint, the engine compartment is even cool. Washing the car is easy as well.

Suggested Improvements

Stock tires (everything I've read say they won't last long), Availability (Very few AWD were out there, I had to drive 70 miles for the closest).

2007 Dodge Charger RT 4dr Sedan (5.7L 8cyl 5A)

Review

Now I've only had my RT for a short period of time, but I've been amazed at the quality of the handling and the ride. I moved up from a Saab 9-3 so it's nice to feel like I have enough room to stretch out. This car is big. Very big. Yet it drives like a sports car. The ride is soft, though not too cushy, and the handling is quite responsive. In fact, I was debating whether to buy a new Charger or a lightly-used Jaguar XJR. Yes, I actually preferred the ride and handling of the Charger over a car that costs nearly $90k new. The downside: the mileage. It actually does get pretty good highway mileage (20+ mpg), but I average about 12 mpg in Southern California commuter driving.

Favorite Features

I'd be lying if I didn't love the Hemi! I bought the Road & Track package, which has the upgraded seats; they really cradle you. I'm impressed with how nimbly a car of this size handles.

Suggested Improvements

I was a bit disappointed that every radio had an iPod jack except for the version with the navigation system. Also, I don't care much for the door handles--I really prefer the type where I can "grab and pull" (like the type on most trucks) better.

Awesome ride

2007 Dodge Charger RT 4dr Sedan (5.7L 8cyl 5A)

Review

It is a great car and really fun to drive. Powerful and fast. Thank God for cruise control. I am really pleased and excited to drive my Charger. What a big change from driving the Camaro, no longer have to fall in or crawl out. Love it!

Favorite Features

The Hemi of course. It runs great and sounds great. You will be noticed driving this car. Heads turn and people will stop to look. Gas mileage is decent and better than I had expected. In normal driving situations I am averaging 22mpg. Driving fast though I only get 19mpg. But still not bad.

Suggested Improvements

Interior could be done with a little more shine and bling. Otherwise it is comfortable above all for a sports car.

Great Car!

2007 Dodge Charger 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Review

The Charger is a wonderful vehicle that loves to move. I have to say it's the first automatic I've driven that doesn't mind going past the red line. The only downer is that I had it back in the shop after 11 days for a malfunctioning rocker in the engine. The dealership fixed it and it's been better ever since. When I first got in it, I thought the interior was too plain, but the smooth and sporty ride is what sold me.

Favorite Features

Consistency in power and torque throughout all RPMs and the front appearance.

Suggested Improvements

I want a manual shifter! The lack of the stick shift was a HUGE turn-off for me. I would also like a sportier interior.

2007 Dodge Charger RT 4dr Sedan (5.7L 8cyl 5A)

Review

This car gets looks wherever you go. It's powerful and sounds and looks like it's got attitude. One of the funnest cars I have ever driven. Gas mileage is OK

Favorite Features

Interior of the R & T package just makes this car stand out. Add to it the 20 inch chrome clad wheels and its a looker for sure.

Suggested Improvements

Some of the interior quality could be a bit better. Plastic scratches very easily. The cup holders leave scratches as soon as you use them. Door panels dont have much shine to them.

My charger

2007 Dodge Charger 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl 4A)

Review

I was wanting a charger in 2005. I finally got one this year. I love it. It's big and mean looking. A little slow on take off, but once it gets rolling I'm gone. I feel like I'm king of the road when I'm driving!

Favorite Features

Body style and the interior room.

Great Bargain

2007 Dodge Charger RT 4dr Sedan (5.7L 8cyl 5A)

Review

The Charger is a great looking muscle car like the Mustang, only is suitable for families. The Charger also has features the Mustang lacks at 30K such as heated seats, rear DVD, and a GPS. I purchased a Mango Daytona, and I love it. The only downside is the cheap doors, but I guess they have to do something to make money off of a 350hp car with a plethora of features.

Favorite Features

Great engine, 4 door muscle car, good looks, amazing seats in Daytona, lots of features for cheap price

Suggested Improvements

Cheap doors, hard rear seats
