This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Powerful optional V8, spacious cabin, comfy ride and seats, affordable price, available all-wheel drive.
Cons:
  • Subpar fuel economy from V6 engines, difficult rear-seat entry, handling dulled by beefy curb weight and numb steering.

  • 2009 Charger RT RWD 5.7 L - 2009 Dodge Charger
    By -

    Have only had the car two weeks. Traded my 2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Intimidator Edition of five years on it and have not regretted it at all. There is no road noise and rides great. I test drove cars for two months including the Pontiac G8 GT and the new Chevrolet Camaro. The seats in the G8 had no padding and the Camaro had limited vision in spots. When I drove the Charger I knew this is it.

  • So far, a lot of fun - 2009 Dodge Charger

    Bought the 2009 R/T R package (Road and Track) - I think it is well worth the extra money - improved handling and the top line seats - only drawback they are (or at least at the time I bought) very hard to find. So far the car is great to drive - very comfortable on road trips - I can drive all day long. I also bought the upgraded sound system (Boston), best sounding factory installed system I have ever had. I live in Wisconsin, drove once in the snow earlier this year and I am planning on driving year round - from what I have experienced car should handle as good as any non 4X4 - just have to drive with common sense! Dodge rebates plus lifetime warranty backed by the govt sealed the deal

  • Its Still Early - 2009 Dodge Charger

    I told my wife I wanted a 4-door 300+mph car. I had that in my R/T. Then I test drove the SRT8. I then told my wife I wanted a 4 door 400+mph car. This is an awesome car. This car cradles the driver and because Im still breaking her in, Ive only gone 120mph. I got to that speed with no effort. I love the power. Just starting the car lets you know this car aint no joke. The rumble sounds so nice that Im thinking about leaving the exhaust alone. Any louder and the neighbors will complain. I bought this car knowing the gas mileage wasnt that great but after driving it I stopped caring.

  • One heck of a car! - 2009 Dodge Charger
    By -

    The car is GREAT to drive!!! Absolutely more than I expected. Inside and out! More room than I could want & the trunk space is excellent. It has tons of Get Up and Go!! Even with 4 adults!!! The interior is luxurious and the features are extraordinary. The factory audio system is leaps and bounds better than anything Ive heard (excluding audio upgrades). Its rides smooth at any speed.

  • A lovely car to own - 2009 Dodge Charger
    By -

    This is a very smooth comfortable car with lots of style, very unique, not a cookycutter. We ordered the Customer Perfered Package 26H which gives the interior many features which really make the interior much nicer with leather,automatic headlights,heated front seats, dual zone air with ATC, and 1 touch up/down power front windows. The Protection group adds Side air bag protections and self sealing Contioental touring tires. We added 18" chrome wheels which really make the Bright Silver stand out. I feel so comforable with this car and love driving it. It feels solid and firm and very stable on the road. There is lots of power with the 3.5 and the 4-speed Automatic. You have got to test it.

  • A Lifetime Warranty Te-2,500 mile report - 2009 Dodge Charger
    By -

    So far my r/t has been trouble free, nothing but fun, and I havent gotten any tickets-yet ) the contitracs are not holding up so well. I had to have tires rotated at 2000 miles, and dont expect them to last the summer (even though the primordial urge to do long Smokey burn-outs has diminished somewhat) at 2500 miles the evic informed me of an oil change. The dealer did the oil change for free per the agreement. They also informed me that my vin required fix rrt 09-019 no start/hard start/long crank. I havent experienced the issue, but am glad for the lifetime powertrain warranty and that I bought the maxcare lifetime warranty. My 2 yr old daughter loves the car she says, "black car! Zoom!"

  • So it begins....a Lifetime warranty test - 2009 Dodge Charger
    By -

    I picked up my Charger RT P package at the end of Jan 09. Being in Michigan I was concerned about handling in the snow and on the dirt roads I live on, so the dealer let me test drive the Charger 20 miles home. I was very surprised at how well the RWD/ESP combo handled snow, and how the suspension soaked up the "chatter bumps", ruts, and craters on both paved and dirt roads. I use my 4X4 for big snowstorms, but Ive put 1,200 on the RT thus far. My final purchase decision was based on that drivability, Chryslers deep discount, and the availability of a the Lifetime Max care warranty. The RT has everything a man could want for a lifetime of driving fun, comfort, and convienience.

    Ive driven the car only four times. Every time I drive, Ive been forced off the road by drivers trying to get a better look at it. I only have 700 miles on it

  • So far so good - 2009 Dodge Charger
    By -

    I purchased my 09 Charger SXT almost 3 months ago. To date, I have enjoyed the car and the solid feel you get in handling and performance. It is a real head turner, but I have a feeling people mistake it for a police ghost car at times, and slow down when approaching me on the highway, so funny. The car is a delight to drive and the 3.5L has more than enough power for my needs.I have driven Mopars for the past 20 years and the Charger is the best so far. I would recommend this car highly.
