  • R/T with R/T package - 2008 Dodge Charger
    By -

    The Charger is a real surprise. I have the R/T package on my R/T ( sport seats /suspension / 20 inch rims / 350 HP). After 18,000 miles, I can say this car is not only a comfortable and quiet cab, its roominess surpises all who get into it. The R/T package is great and really sets the look with the extra body moldings. The packages performance upgrade over the base R/T is substantial. We also have a Honda Odessey which is a well known quality vehicle. The Dodge is a more comfortable and queit ride. Yep, the performance muscle car is more comfortable and quiet then the Honda. My friends have the Pontiac GXP and the Mustang GT. They even like the Dodge a lot.

  • Love it - 2008 Dodge Charger
    By -

    Traded in a 2001 BMW 740iL that had 80K. I got fed up with the Bimmers cheap plastic parts and frequent broken parts. I wanted to buy an American car to replace it. I drove a Mercury Sable (wife felt the seats were too short and steering wheel was too close to dash. The Impala didnt have much rear leg room so we test drove a charger. It had decient rear leg room and looked like a younger persons car(Im 42 and not ready for a crown vic) I got the 5.7 Hemi with the 29R performance package. I really like this car. We got the My Gig with NAV and bluetooth, Sirius TV and Radio and the rear seat TV. This car has more features than the BMW and guess what, they all work, The sport seats look great

  • Foxfire! - 2008 Dodge Charger
    By -

    I have always wanted to kick myself for selling my 1969 Charger (a 383 with a 4-barrel carb.) but now Im over that. Ive finally found a car that is more fun to drive than the 69. The 2008 RT has better performance and handling and all of the luxuries provided by 21st century technology. Way to go Dodge!

  • I Love It - SRT8 - 2008 Dodge Charger
    By -

    Dodge lady forever! I have the "SRT8". When you step on the petal, it doesnt ask any questions, it just goes. I love it. I also like the "option" of choosing auto and/or manual. I dont care to much for stick shifting and it kinda helps me. Super easy to change shifts only should you choose to. I just love the speed on this monster. Its the best car Ive ever had. I would recommend it to anyone. Again, be aware...it takes off like an airplane, for real - no kidding. My husband almost missed this flight. Turns out he wants one too...

  • New 2008 Super Bee owner - 2008 Dodge Charger
    By -

    I just bought the new 08 Super Bee, after owning an 07 Purple Daytona RT. Love this car. I thought the Daytona was fun. The new My Gig is awesome, and love the Blue pearl. Ride and steering feel tighter than the Daytona. I got number 046 out of 1000.

  • Love this Car - 2008 Dodge Charger
    By -

    I absolutely love this car. I had been driving a Lincoln Aviator for a bit, but test drove the Charger and instantly feel in love. The power is awesome. The interior is very stylish and comfortable. Even though Ive only had it a couple of days...I dont think Ill ever get rid of this car.

  • Bang for the Buck - 2008 Dodge Charger
    By -

    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

  • Best car Ive owned - 2008 Dodge Charger
    By -

    Bought this car over the weekend and love it! In fact I would say that this is the best car Ive owned. I have owned quite a few cars and trucks over the years including Mustangs, Thunderbirds, Trans- Am, Dodge RAM pickup and most recently a Durango. I have been very pleased on how the car handles and absolutely love the sunroof since I live in CA. The seats are comfortable and Dodge finally did something with the 07 cruise control handle problem. I rented an 07 charger for about 10 days and that lever drove me nuts! Sirius radio is a nice touch and the rear air is nice for the kids! Everything about the car feels solid and the handling is superb. I wanted the myGig system but maybe next time

  • Daytona Charger - 2008 Dodge Charger
    By -

    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!

  • A Great, Fun Car to Drive - 2008 Dodge Charger
    By -

    Ive owned the car for only 3 weeks, but, love it thus far. Its enjoyable to drive, responds extremely well for a 4 dr sedan, but, yet has the appearance of a "sporty" vehicle which gets lots of attention from people. A joy to drive! I was disappointed in a couple of things--see below on improvements. I would buy this car again without hesitation.
