  Lovin It! - 2009 Dodge Challenger
  By BearsFanInKansas - May 25 - 1:03 pm

  Bought the smaller engine to drive this car to work every day. Would not change a thing about that purchase decision. Others I have spoken with who purchased the larger engines are parking theirs at home rather than enjoying this great new throw-back design from Dodge. Sure, you get to rev the big engines at the light, but that will only happen when it comes out of the garage. I will take the look over muscle on this new Challenger!

  Just a great Car - 2009 Dodge Challenger
  By Live in NC - May 22 - 3:09 pm

  Had mine 5 months. Had some transmission issues for a while but servicing dealer(not the one where I bought it) was great about troubleshooting the problem till it was fixed. Not my every day drive vehicle but when I take the cover off and back it out of the garage on the weekends, its a blast.

  Blast from the past - 2009 Dodge Challenger
  By Linmare - May 19 - 7:42 pm

  I had dreams of buying this car once I saw it as a concept vehicle. The picture of the car stayed posted on my refrigerator for the next 2 years. I finally took the plunge and treated my self to a virtual fountain of youth. Yes, back to my muscle car days of Camaros, Corvettes and Monte SS. (I still have the 1970 AMX!) This car is a pleasure to drive and I must say, no matter where I go, people look, thumbs up, ask questions and even ask if they can sit in it. A definite head turner and handles like dream.The 6.1 hemi under the hood makes this car a real animal!(Did I mention it gets better gas mileage than my Durango did) Great job on this baby!

  My Challey - 2009 Dodge Challenger

  This is one of the most fun cars to drive. Its fast, like 140mph on a two lane parkway fast, yet it rides like a luxury car.

  Beauty of the Beast - 2009 Dodge Challenger
  By Bob A - May 18 - 9:32 pm

  I cant wait to turn the key every morning. For the money, theres not another car on the road like it. Get comments almost every time I go somewhere. I have a problem with the six speed manual trans....occasionally goes from first to fourth gear. Minor rattle in the drivers side door. Get about 19 miles per gallon overall. Would still purchase this car if I had it to do over again.

  Yep its got a Hemi - 2009 Dodge Challenger
  By SEMORE - May 18 - 2:42 am

  Test drove the Challenger and had to own it. Its a head turner for sure. The Hemi-Orange is a real standout and gets attention. Acceleration is impressive be it gradual on surface streets after upshift, or stomping it on the freeway entrance. Slower than the old 426, but does get up and run. Excellent handling a joy to drive. Moderate pavement noise. Hope it doesnt get worse. This not a young persons car. First time in my life a vette picked a fight, they NEVER do that. I didnt even try, I knew better, and street racing is bad news period. This car is all about the look, feel, and pride of owning one. Glad Chrysler brought it back. Now if they would just retro the Charger....

  I love my R/T and my R/T loves me - 2009 Dodge Challenger
  By Marisa - May 12 - 3:50 pm

  I was looking to trade up from my 2003 Honda Accord to either a BMW or a Lexus when I saw one of these magical cars on the road and my jaw dropped. I decided to take a test drive expecting the car to be rough around the edges and not refined enough for my taste. Boy was I wrong! This car has everything you could ever ask for...unmatched power and the most comfortable ride Ive ever experienced. It reminds me of my grandparents Caddy...super plush but this car is so stylish and soooo fast. Nobody has been able to keep up with me. The looks from people everywhere I go are priceless. Like others, Ive had people honk, take pictures, etc. Definitely get the R/T in the 6 speed! Love it!

  Man oh man.... - 2009 Dodge Challenger
  By Eddie - May 12 - 1:56 am

  All I can say is "Wow." I LOVE this car. Im not a car man, per say, although Ive always had an appreciation for good-looking ones. And the first time I saw it, I just knew I had to have it. Several months later, Im picking mine up on my dinner break. I like to believe that I carry myself with modesty for the most part, but admittedly I do enjoy the attention she gets. Ask any Challenger owner. Its just such a beautiful car. I still turn several times to look at it as I walk away after parking it. To top it off, its a fantastic ride and the price is unbelievable for the package. Much more old-school than the Camaro.

  AWESOME AUTO - 2009 Dodge Challenger
  By catsmandan - May 9 - 1:52 pm

  We got the R/T with the automatic tranny. Great car for cruising with the family. Awesome power and drivability. Tried out a Mustang GT but the back seat was almost non- existant, so opted to try out the Challenger. Dodge really got it right with this car! Beautiful styling, great fit and finish, excellent power and handling! The 6 speaker sound system is great. The seats are very comfortable. This car is a blast to drive! A real HEAD TURNER!
