The 2006 Dodge Charger is a new full-size sedan but shares many of its mechanical components with the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Magnum.

Pros:
  • Striking looks for a sedan, Hemi V8, firm handling, refined ride, roomy and comfortable interior, reasonably priced.
Cons:
  • Looks plain from behind, some low-grade interior plastics, hefty curb weight.

  • Fun - 2006 Dodge Charger

    A pleasure to drive. The only complaint is they dont have a stick shift for the R/T. Have been very satisfied thus far with the Charger. Just remember to use the cruise control.

  • Muscle cars shouldnt be family cars. - 2006 Dodge Charger
    By -

    My husband got this car, and coming from a Mopar family, I was impressed he wanted it. I am all for having a second Hemi in the family (my father has a 69 Hemi Roadrunner), but the interior and exterior of this car is just another boring family sedan. This car seems to impress people who know they should be impressed by a Hemi, but dont really know why they should be impressed by a Hemi. True Hemi fans, will want to stick with the original muscle cars that were built to haul the mail - not a haul a family.

    This car is the most relieable and fun car to drive. I have done some bolt on modifications done to it (intake,exhaust,programmer) and i beat on this poor car and it takes the abuse fine. On the days when my foot isnt as heavy its a great smooth ride. It doesnt like to turn very fast but its great to see a mustang gts headlights in my rearview mirror.

  • Good car, but disappointed - 2006 Dodge Charger

    Fun car to drive. Interior a little too kit car for me. Cheap plastic, but hey for $30k with the power worth it. My real big problem is that Dodge and parent company have the worst paint going. I have the metallic black and doesnt take much to scratch unlike my wifes new Mustang.

    The Charger is really well put together and a joy to drive. Its a mans car that can also be enjoyable for the ladies. Its a looker that turns heads no matter what part of the country youre visiting. Theres a few things that would make the Charger the perfect car; better gas mileage and a more luxurious interior. I give the Charger "thumbs up"...Dodge has a winner!

  • In a world of compromise, dont - 2006 Dodge Charger
    By -

    Went in to buy a fuel economical car for work but walked out of the dealership with the SE Charger and I havent looked back since. (fuel economy is still not bad for a V6). Now I find any reason to go out and drive around the area love the comfortable ride and solid handling. Ever time Ive gone to the gas station people ask about her. On the highway have to watch your speed. Its easy to get going fast without noticing youre blowing out the other cars. SE trim is nice, but adding on the other features will make this beauty a diamond in the rough.

    Front brake rotors have been replaced 4 times - Had to go w/ after mkt vented/slotted/drilled rotor. Motor mount replaced, some front suspension parts replaced, and car eats tires. Ride, power, performance, and comfort are excellent. Interior plastics are not highest grade. Sound system, Nav, and Bluetooth are trouble free and work great. Paint is holding up beautifully. Overall - a nice car w/some quirks,great engine performance, expensive to maintain, very high fun-to-drive factor.

  • Tie Rods and Tires - 2006 Dodge Charger
    By -

    The car is nice to drive, but has had numerous service issues. From day 1, there was a front tire thumping/noise issue that was never resolved even after 6 visits to 3 different dealerships. They never found anything. At 31,000 miles, a front tire blowout caused from excessive wear. Replaced all 4 tires with Coopers. After only 17,000 miles on these, they are showing the same wear patterns. Now, the front tie rods and control arms need replacing at a cost of $970! This car costs too much in maintenance to keep.

  • Tie Rod, Engine light, lighting bolt - 2006 Dodge Charger
    By -

    Well it is a nice car to drive but has spent a lot of time with issues. for example three times the Bluetooth had to be fixed still not working, tires have to be replaced every year, engine light on continually even after it has been fixed the light shines again within a couple of days, lighting bolt light that tells you to heat the car up when the temp outside is below a certain degree comes on in the middle of the summer when it is 25 celcius outside and if you do not let it warm up the car will not run properly (near got in an accident a few times the engine cuts out- no power) we have had this looked at but it continues to be an issue now the tie rod ends are gone again. We got a bad one.

  • Sweet Ride - 2006 Dodge Charger

    Bought this beauty in June. I have never fallen in love with any of my previously owned vehicles, but this one, oh yeah! This car always gets the looks, and I have folks coming up to me all the time to ask about it and comment on it.
