R/T Road & Track - 2006 Dodge Charger
By BLACK/HEMI - May 4 - 12:13 amLove the car. Great looks and performance. Fun to drive. The road and track package is a must. Great seats, love the air ride suspension, makes the car handle great and the ride smooth. The 350HP and 22MPH is very nice. The stereo sound system is awesome.

Nice Ride, Needs true Manual tranny - 2006 Dodge Charger
By Joseph - April 24 - 2:43 amBought the car because I really wanted rear-wheel drive and dont want to ride with the snobs in their BMWs. Very nice ride/handling...doesnt feel as big as it is. My only gripe is the fact that American manufacturers refuse to put manual transmissions when connected to their best engines!!! I know, Mustang/Corvette...right, but I needed the full backseat...and I dont have Corvette kind of money. Come on Dodge, toss in a 6-speed and well call it a day. But overall, very happy with the car.

Charger SRT8 Modern Muscle Car - 2006 Dodge Charger
By RussL - April 19 - 1:26 amWhen I sold my 73 Challenger in June of 2005, I thought that was the last time I would ever feel the power of a stroked big block V8, I was wrong. This SRT8 is equal in quickness and greatly exceeds the top end speed of the 73 500" Challenger. Plus its practical. Having a wife and two children under 4 makes this an ideal family car. To be honest, my wife drives it more than I do. She loves the power. Driving on two lane highways can be a pain if you dont have the torque to get your vehicle through the passing window of time. SRT will not let you down!

Daytona R/T Rocks - 2006 Dodge Charger
By Rob - April 13 - 1:06 pmHandles well, very powerfull, roomy, comfortable w/ four hefty passengers, Have to remember to stop back about ten feet more than normal when at street lights - difficult to view light w/ angle of windshield, huge trunk w/fold down rear seats if needed, 18 inch wheels with all four anti lock brakes stops on a dime, I noticed after 4000 mile break in a little jiggly in the front end, rack and pinion steering.

Charger Daytona R/T - 2006 Dodge Charger
By TopBanana - April 9 - 8:06 pmThe special edition Charger Daytona R/T is an absolute blast to drive! I have now logged more than 3000 miles on the car and am very happy to report that there have been zero items requiring warranty repair. The Edmunds reviews paint a good picture of the car and options, so Ill focus on the drivers experience: This is a large car --plenty of room on the inside that performs like a nimble sedan. I traded a 2001 BMW 330xi for this car and I am very pleased with the choice. The Charger is much more powerful, and it handles better! I can take familar curves at higher speeds and havent yet reached the performance limit of this car! Everything is the way it should be.

Plenty of power - 2006 Dodge Charger
By Bob G. - March 29 - 12:06 pmCar has more then enough power and is fun to drive. Interior design is a little on the plain side but doesnt matter when you tap the gas to go around some slow poke. Just got to be careful and not give it to much gas.

Great car,/poor workmanship with motor - 2006 Dodge Charger
By Charmaine - March 28 - 8:34 pmI believe I was ripped off from the start. I paid 42,000 for my car in 2006. One of the salesman had been driving g it back and forth home before I bought it. I had it for seven years and the motor acted up. I took it to the dealership and they charged me 400 dollars to tears down theotor to find the problem. I was told that a part of the feul injector broke off and fell down in the cylinder and scratched it up real bad. It was sounding like a truck with lou d pipes. I think that everybody that bought a 2006 dodge charger, that had problems with the hemi motor, the shift, and the tie rod ends should sue the makers of the hemi motors for all the troubles, and for being falsely mislead about the 2006 dodge charger.

A fun car and a great car to drive - 2006 Dodge Charger
By Lute - March 27 - 11:30 amThis car is a real pleasure to drive and I can merge into traffic with ease from the power. My car is a Mango Daytona R/T (#3913 of 4000). I have averaged 22 MPG in local driving since I have not been on any trips with it yet. I imagine I would get at least 25MPG on a trip. Everywhere I have been with it, I get all positive comments about the looks of the car.

Its Worth It ! - 2006 Dodge Charger
By gthorn - March 18 - 1:50 pmI wasnt planning on even buying a car, but I test drove the new Charger, just to check it out, and after 5 minutes, I was sold. This car is unbelievable. It has unlimited acceleration and can turn on a dime. This is a great car!

Great for the money - 2006 Dodge Charger
By budoinst - February 26 - 10:26 pmI owned a 2003 G35 coupe which I loved, but traded for the SRT-8. Unbelievable car with a great deal of Mercedes influence in the suspension and trans. Extremely fast, quick and with uncanny braking power for such a large car. The main surprise was how comfortable it is on the road and how quickly you may pass with a slight touch of the pedal. The mileage is not great---around 17 all around and 20 on the highway, but then again that is to be expected. LOVE IT!!!
