This Year's Model Updates:

As it was an all-new model last year, the Charger receives only minor changes this year. A base-level 2.7-liter V6 engine joins the lineup, and there are now all-wheel-drive variants of all trim levels except the high-performance SRT8. For the SRT8, there's a newly optional rear-seat DVD entertainment system with a premium sound system.

Pros:
  • Sports car performance with sedan functionality, firm handling, heady power from SRT8 model, reasonable price.
Cons:
  • Heavy curb weight, some low-grade interior plastics, low IIHS side-impact crash-test scores, sedan body style still causes controversy.

  • Not to bad.... - 2007 Dodge Charger
    By -

    Not to bad of a car at all. Read all the reviews and everyone was bang on....The only problem I have had is with my rims...Living in Toronto I have to deal with snow and salt. I have the 18 inch chrome 5 upgrades and they are simply terrible. They have peeld twice and they look horrible, really noticeable and Chryler even afetr seeing them wont do a darn thing about them. They claim its because of our Canadian weather, problem is this car was made in Brampton CANADA, how do they not know these things...

  • An honest SXT review after 2 years... - 2007 Dodge Charger
    By -

    I drive an SXT. Awesome to look at, fun to drive, handles well (especially for its size), it is big and comfortable with plenty of room for my 65" 300 lb body. Lots of space, huge back seat, huge trunk. Great family car. Problems: There are several "known issues" theyre not horrendously expensive to fix, but the two problems I had are both well known and common (shifter becoming "jammed" due to a mechanical breakage of an internal plastic part and the O-Ring for the transmission doesnt fit quite right and will have to be replaced eventually). Biggest problem is the build quality. It is cheap. The car develops rattles and squeaks quickly on the interior plastic molding.

  • Yea Its got a HEMI - 2007 Dodge Charger
    By -

    I wanted a newer Charger RT since I first laid eyes on them. Almost bought one in 07 but couldnt afford it. When my Durango hit 170K I figured its time to go get a Charger. I bought a pearl black 07 RT with heated leather, moon roof, spoiler. I absolutely love everything about it. Its got plenty of space and power at 340 hp and it just looks mean plain and simple. It turns heads all the time. Dont waste your time on anything less than the RT 5.7. V8. The resale value is higher and the gas mileage isnt much different between the 3.5 and the 5.7. V8. They just put more time and effort into the RT. After market upgrades are plentiful and cheap plus the sound of the dual exhaust is cool.

    Bought this car because of the affordability and HOT look. The body of the car is so great and the interior is quite nice, too. For a V6 its a great car, a super commuter. The trunk size is one of the best features. at 24,000 miles I had to replace the K-2 clutches because they went haywire and the RMS would almost redline randomly, at 40,000 I was informed I have a leak at the rack and pinion, a $1,000.00 repair. So as much as I love my car, the look and the power, I feel let down with the repairs I need that arent under warranty. Maybe a good car for a year of fun, then trade it in for something more reliable. Definitely on the fence!

    I have now owned 2007 my Dodge Charger SXT for 5 month and have had to bring it to the shop 3 times! My first problem was the passenger side window would not work properly. The second time i got stuck at walmart when my charger decided to not come out of park! the final and last time is when the malfunction indicator light came on at 36,123 i have about had it with this car!

  • Get one! - 2007 Dodge Charger
    By -

    Bought this car new, and loved it from day 1. Roomy enough for 5 adults, huge trunk, lots of power, yet with the MDS, I averaged 22 Mpg combined (and over 27 on road trips). Interior is a little cheap-feeling, but the only cars you can compare it to for performance and space are at least $10k more. Had my car serviced regularly at the dealer, and had NO mechanical or electric problems. Only "surprise" was the $200+ for a tuneup (due to the Hemi requiring 16 spark plugs!). Great car and Id buy another in a second. Dont buy the base- the small V6 isnt enough for the car. Mileage for the 5.7Hemi and 3.5V6 are almost identical, so go for the power (and resale value) of the Hemi.

  • Good car - 2007 Dodge Charger
    By -

    I bought this used about a year ago. It has the hemi and its black with the hemi decal on the side in red, I get so many compliments on it!I am the 3rd owner and have not had any problems with it, maybe I am lucky or it was just very well taken car of but I have no complaints except wish it had automatic headlights, but thats just me being lazy LOL

  • Computer - 2007 Dodge Charger
    By -

    Well I had my car, bought used the owner before paid got the extended warranty, part of the selling feature. When I driving the car sometimes starts to chug and I step on the gas and nothing happens, no rpm no speed, then the engine light flashes and the bell starts to ring. And then the car feels like its going to die. I pull over turn it off the then restart. And the car is fine. But this isnt really happening (more then 50 times) because the dealer cant find anything wrong with it. The computer say it didnt happen. Ya right. I will never buy another Dodge again. They have treated me like crap. I have never had this many problems before.

  • I Hate my Charger - 2007 Dodge Charger
    By -

    When this car came out I was determined to get one, especially since I had to sell my 72 Cutlass. I could only afford the base model. This motor (2.7) is good on gas but lacks power. After a year the tranny had to be replaced, that same year the engine began to tick. Took it to a dealer in Manassas at least four times and they could never find the problem until after my warranty expired. Which was another issue b/c I was told I had the Lifetime warranty but only had a 36,000 mile warranty. So now I ride around town with my music up loud to block out the lifters ticking. Which i have to pay $1200 to get fixed.

  • Transmission - 2007 Dodge Charger
    By -

    I have had the shutter since i purchase it. it jerks somtime while driving & i have taken it to dealer several times & they always say cant find anything.It also slows when air is turned on. One day i got into car to leave & was unable to move gear out of park, call dealer & was told right off bat that it was the belt inside gear shift. was told by tow truck driver that it is happening to all the Chrysler & dodge vehicles & they have been towing a lot with that same problem. A lot of people have told me chargers are not a good car & after 50000 miles transmission have to be replaced. Will never buy another chrysler or dodge vehicle.
