  Hemi Daytona R/T Midlife - 2008 Dodge Charger
  By Sweeet! - November 1 - 10:33 am

  This is my fifth Dodge product Ive purchased in the last ten years and I can honestly say this Hemi Daytona R/T has exceeded all expectations I had about this car.On a recent 1K mile trip to Texas the 5.7L w/MDS achieved 21 m.p.g. on 87 octane fuel. On cruise control at 75 miles per hour the only indication MDS was active was the "Fuel Saver Mode" message was on the DIC. The performance tuned suspension on the Charger is more like a touring setup rather than a race car. Probably the most comfortable ride Ive ever owned. This car will definitely get some looks around town and its hard to resist my right foot urges too. It has all the cool toys with Sirius and MYGIG infotainment center.

  Blinded by design - 2008 Dodge Charger
  By Tamdive - July 18 - 12:00 pm

  This car is as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. Driving is smooth, but reminds me of driving a pickup truck. On the drivers side, there is a terrible blind spot. This one "flaw" has convinced me never to own one. Also, the high rear combined with a small rear window-makes it difficult to see out the rear window.

  Very Disappointed - 2008 Dodge Charger
  By Unhappycamper - June 19 - 8:45 am

  It sounds like I am the only one but I am so disappointed with my new car. I have wanted a Charger since they hit the ground. After all the waiting until I could afford one, I ended up buying the lemon from the lot. My car has 850 miles on it and has been in the shop 5 times for the transmission. When the transmissions shifts between 1st & 2nd gear it feels like I am driving over railroad tracks & it does this every time I stop & take off. The dealership says this is normal and it should work itself out after I have drove it 3000 miles or more. They also say that 1/2 of them do this & 1/2 of them dont. I dont even want to drive it. The excitement is gone.

  Dont pass the gas station - 2008 Dodge Charger
  By mattmac53 - June 16 - 3:39 pm

  Traded in a 05 Nissan Maxima GL for my 2008 Charger R/T. Looking at it was love at first sight. Love everything about it except for the gas mileage. Great road car and cruiser. Very comfortable and has THE power when you punch it. Got almost all the bells and whistles on it to which makes it a fun piece of "American Iron." Easy to see why it is the new "Cop Car".

  Surprised "downgrade" - 2008 Dodge Charger
  By Steve - March 10 - 1:42 pm

  I was going from a 4 cylinder Mercedes to a larger car. Liked the look of the Charger and just thought Id drive it without any real intent to buy. It drove surprisingly well. Ive some minor issues like the hood has come unlatched by itself a couple times and the child safety lock keeps re-engaging itself, but other than that the ride is surprisingly quiet and smooth and it is very responsive. It is deceptively large inside even for me standing over 6 feet tall to have leg room to spare front and rear seats.

  Bang for the Buck - 2008 Dodge Charger
  By Captain Midnight - December 3 - 1:07 pm

  Id like to say that this is a great car, but we will go with good for now. The ride is smooth, comfortable and quiet, and Id be fine riding in it for hours without undue fatigue. The steering gets raspberries because its too heavy at all speeds and the chassis is busy at cruise. The most fatiguing part of driving this car is the constant inputs required, even on smooth, uncrowned roads. I really hate that part. The stock 225 60R18 touring tires grip well in the dry and are a menace in the wet. First thing I did was to get Goodyear Eagle Ultra Grip GW3 snow tires so that I can get through a Michigan winter without ending up in a ditch somewhere. Recommended with reservations

  Daytona Charger - 2008 Dodge Charger
  By Mikey C - November 9 - 1:48 pm

  Wow. I know its just a pretty version of the regular R/T, but their is just something about this car when you drive down the street in its orange and black colors. The engine growling, and knowing that everyone cant help but look in interest. Sure, its no SRT-8, but the mileage difference in MPG makes up for that. I am seeing abour 16 city and a cool 25 on highway. The pick up and go is strong and nice, and the interior is very comfy and roomy. I had a small Trans prob right away, but the warranty took care of that and no probs since. Good job Dodge!
