This Year's Model Updates:

The 2010 Dodge Charger receives standard side curtain airbags and minor exterior styling tweaks, but is no longer available with front-seat side airbags. There was also an extensive reorganization of its trim level structure and options availability halfway through the 2010 production run.

Pros:
  • Thrilling optional V8s, roomy interior, agreeable ride and seats, available all-wheel drive.
Cons:
  • Subpar power and fuel economy from V6s, difficult rear-seat entry, anesthetized steering, lackluster side-impact crash rating.

  • She is My Lady - 2010 Dodge Charger
    By -

    I bought my 2010 Charger SXT used from a family friends dealership. She had 11,900 on her and was a former rental car. That was back in Jan 2011. Nearly five years later, I am so sad that I have begun looking at new cars. But its not due to poor aging. This car is as magnificent as the day I got her. I love my Midnight with all my heart. Maintaining her has been childs play. Oil and fluids on schedule and only had to replace the brakes, rotors, and tires once. Everything else is original equipment. There have been no major problems. After almost five years and 70,000 miles on the odometer, Midnight still thrills me every time I drive her. Gas mileage has been great. Highway driving was smooth. And she is tough. A traffic cone caught her on the nose and there was only a minor crack to her bumper. The only reason I am trading her in at the end of the year is I finally have a good enough credit rating to afford a brand new car. I can say without a doubt, I will be getting a new Charger. Dodge gave me a great product and I will remain loyal, possibly for life. I hate to see Midnight go. But after seeing one in deep blue, I fell in love with the Charger all over again. Only a Challenger could possibly change my mind. I think Ill call my new car...Luna.

  • Avoid Chargers - 2010 Dodge Charger
    By -

    Car was parked for three days without driving. Wife went to get something out of the car and in less than an hour later, the car was totaled due to a fire that started in the passenger headlight (from unlocking the thing). Dodge denies there is any manufacturer defect so I guess gremlins must have caused the thing to destroy itself. Funny thing is less than three weeks later here in our town, a lady was driving a 12 Charger and had to pull over when it caught fire and was totaled - started in the passenger headlight. Dodge denies responsibility yet these vehicles have a tendency to catch fire. Couple that with the fact police departments are jumping on the chance to move to other vehicles due to problems with these cars. Again, avoid buying Chargers.

  • was this car made with me in mind? - 2010 Dodge Charger

    I upgraded from a 1995 Dodge Intrepid (3.0 V6) to the Charger SXT (3.5 V6). I can feel the extra .5 liters of power. I fell in love with my Charger as soon as I saw it. Once I sat inside I knew we were meant to be together. After I started driving, I knew this beautiful beast was made with me in mind. This car has everything I want.

  • 2010 Dodge Charger Rallye Rocks! - 2010 Dodge Charger
    By -

    Ive only had the car a few days, but I already love it. I traded in a 2005 Dodge Neon, so this is a serious upgrade. This car has plenty of power. Highway passing is accomplished with ease. I love the size of this vehicle as well. Its huge, which is great for me as I have 2 kids. I can easily get my daughter into her car seat, and theres still room for 2 adults in the back seat. Trunk space is great too. This is really a great family sedan. And this is a good looking vehicle as well. I got the optional 20 inch chrome wheels and it really makes this car standout. One thing you might have to get used to is people coming up to you and asking you about the car. It is a head turner.

  • Beware of the oil change - 2010 Dodge Charger
    By -

    I had a 2006 SRT 8 for 27 months. Nothing really to complain about, the power is awesome! Just be aware that if you lease, Chrysler makes you come to the dealership every 3,000 miles or 3 months (which ever occurs first) for an oil change. And this baby needs a lot of oil, I usually spent > $100.

  • Love this car - 2010 Dodge Charger
    By -

    Just bought my Charger a couple of months ago and I really love it. Had an old BMW 740 that was heavy but fast, and honestly this has just as much pickup in a tight spot. I have the 3.5L V6 but I drove the 2.7. Glad I got the extra HP. Great going around turns, smooth braking.

  • Problem child - 2010 Dodge Charger
    By -

    Owned this rig for less than 2 months. Have barely 1500 miles on it and the sun roof doesnt work, the tire sensors flash on the dash board, the passenger window fell off the track and it has a vibration the the dealer cant find. All these problems have been looked at 3 times and still no satisfaction. As soon as my warranty runs out, Im going back to a quality German made car!

  • One Fun Ride - 2010 Dodge Charger
    By -

    After owning a Honda Accord Coupe for 12 years driving a full sized American sedan was thrilling. Havent owned an 8 cylinder car for about 26 years so having some Detroit iron around me again was gratifying. I am still getting used to her but this car is a real head turner and an absolute thrill to drive. If youre looking at American sedans you must consider the Charger.

  • Great sports sedan - 2010 Dodge Charger
    By -

    Bought this 2009 used with (13000 miles) in May,"for my wife". She loves it except that the ride is a bit rough on bumpy roads. The car drives great and has lots of room for passengers. Its quiet and feels solid. I was very skeptical about the gas mileage with the hemi V8,but am very impressed so far. 368 H.P and deliver 26- 27 M.P.G. on freeway trips is outstanding.

  • Great Full Size Car - 2010 Dodge Charger
    By -

    I replaced an AWD Magnum with this AWD Charger. A lot has been updated in five years in this essentially similar Dodge. First thing noticed is the improved interior. The seats are still firm, supportive and comfortable, but the trim and finishes in the Charger are much nicer, with brushed metallic accents against charcoal. The AWD system now reverts to two wheel drive when AWD isnt needed. This nets a couple more miles per gallon. Im averaging just under 23 mpg in mixed suburban and expressway driving on my 45 mile trip to work. Most recent tank of gas got me 28.5 mpg, truly impressive for a large, very solid vehicle. Handling is secure, and AWD great in slippery weather.
