Overview & Reviews

For 2009, the Dodge Charger's available V8 gains more power and better fuel economy, while the optional all-wheel-drive system has been similarly upgraded to enhance fuel economy. The Charger SRT8 also sports improved fuel economy as well as a new Super Bee package with orange paint. All Chargers feature minor exterior and interior detail revisions.

• Powerful optional V8, spacious cabin, comfy ride and seats, affordable price, available all-wheel drive.

• Subpar fuel economy from V6 engines, difficult rear-seat entry, handling dulled by beefy curb weight and numb steering.

  Upset - 2009 Dodge Charger
  By Chargerr x3 - August 27 - 2:09 pm

  I bought this car not even 2 weeks ago and Im already having A LOT of problems with it. I noticed the control arm on the car was busted the very same day I got it home and Dodge refused to cover the damages! I love the car, its been my dream car for a very long time but I am furious with how Dodge handles these problems. I am crazy about the car, but I would never again buy a Dodge.

  Automatic Woes - 2009 Dodge Charger
  By Ray - February 27 - 12:41 pm

  I have a drone from the transmission at 1500 rpm and under a slight load (4 & 5 gears. When I change to manual mode it goes away. Shifts just fine otherwise. Chrysler will not fix the noise so I have contacted a lawyer to help resolve this issue. By the way I drove a 2010 R/T and it had the same noise.

  Decent after some modifications - 2009 Dodge Charger
  By Jim - January 8 - 4:08 pm

  I bought this car for looks and performance. The 5 issues I have are the tires (Continental tires feel like Flintstones), the driver seat height, steering stiffness, fuel pump whine, and no MDS indicator. After replacing the plastichrome wheels with real chrome & buying Michelins, the ride is more smoother & looks much better with real chrome. I had to buy a car performance computer to show MDS, but it works great. The only other probs are fuel pump whine, which they claim is normal (its really not), and I feel like I sit too high. I always want to adjust the steering wheel another inch or so lower, but it wont go. I think the black looks best just coz it matches the black trim.

  Some Hits, Some Misses - 2009 Dodge Charger
  By HFish1212 - December 22 - 1:48 pm

  Just purchased a used 09 SXT base with only optional power driver seat. This was a rental but I got a great price ($16,400) with only 29k miles. Some things are a hit while others are a miss. Pros: Styling (these with 22" rims and tint look awesome!), reliability, available features (not saying the one I got had any of them), price, size (hate small cars), rear wheel drive, interior which appears very easy to keep clean but is cheap plastic (good compared to other things that rip, weather). Cons: fueling cuts off during fill up because of tank design, cloth seats are uncomfortable- lumbar hits in upper back/ headrest is too far forward, no programmable seat positioning, weird key fob

  my rental - 2009 Dodge Charger
  By phil - October 27 - 10:57 am

  Rented this car for 10 days.It had 22K on odometer.Drove for app 3K miles from Alabama to NYC and then to NC mountains.Very comfortable,quiet,decent power.MPG blew mw away.At interstate driving slightly over posted speed I got a low of just over 26 and high of just over 30.I was expecting 22-23 range.That is great for a heavy, full size sedan.Only negative is the gas pedal feels too firm and a little out of comfort position,Other wise for a tall man, it was a pleasure to drive.I feel dodge wont hold value well so prob wouldnt buy a new vehicle, but a late model used charger should be fine.I will look for this model next time i rent.

  Brand New, its fun, jury is still out - 2009 Dodge Charger
  By ET - October 1 - 5:21 pm

  I have the Road and Track edition for 09. Lots of upgrades, but the 10 extra horse power and the Ricaaro style seats with red stitching and badging stands out the most. 20 inch chrome rims are a big hit as well with my friends. The engine is very responsive, and the ESP switch is nice when you want to burn out. I am impressed with the acceleration, although a rolling start and manual transmission mode will give you the best chance at a light to light drag. The engine performs the best in my opinion from 75 to 120. It really moves. It is very quiet in the cabin and I wish the engine would bark a little more from the factory. It does have a 8 to 4 cyl. feature for fuel consumption

  What Power! - 2009 Dodge Charger
  By Tom - September 26 - 9:33 am

  I have had the Charger for about 3 weeks now and I cant believe the power the car has. It is a really solid car all around. I have been driving a 6 cylinder Nissan Maxima and Altima for the past 7 years and cant get over the difference. The Nissan has the features, but the car is light, noisy, and gets 18 mpg (city). The Charger is so real, solid, quiet and secure. So far I am getting 17 mpg. Very east and fun to drive.
