  • 2012 Charger SRT8: getting what you pay for - 2012 Dodge Charger
    By -

    Having driven the 2011 R/T for most of the year, I was already familiar with most of the features but was completely unprepared for the improvement in handling and power this beast brings to the table. On a highway you can easily top 100 mph without the pedal getting halfway down and still be treated to a symphony from the engine, which prompted an unprintable exclamation of approval from my first passenger. The auto mode sets the suspension for maximum comfort and in even the sharpest turns the car remains level. Sport mode unleashes the cars max performance. Fuel economy is about the same as I had with the R/T, although thats more due to San Diego traffic than anything else.

  • Great fun - 2012 Dodge Charger

    We had settled on a Maxima and went to look at the Charger as a base of comparison. I was blown away with the build quality and materials of the interior. Gone are the cheap hard plastics replaced with high quality soft to the touch materials Great power with the Hemi and smooth as silk ride. We have about 2,000 miles on it and couldnt be happier. Steering is a little numb but this is a big car. Super comfy so I guess there are compromises.

  • The Dodge Charger SRT8 is a Beast... in a good way - 2012 Dodge Charger
    By -

    The 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 looks means, sounds mean, it is mean. Seeing it parents will lock their kids indoors peering out the windows until this bad boys gone by. Even parked youll want to cross the road just to walk around it so it cant bite. When you first fire up the engine you know unmistakably theres a beast under the hood. However, from the inside of the cabin you hear a quiet, pleasant exhaust note. Romp on it and its a whole different story. Whatevers under the hood wants to get out and its going to drag the car and passengers along with it whether they like it or not. Youd better hang ladies and gentlemen because youre going for a ride like youve never had!

  • Fast, Fun, Gorgeous and Very Comfortable - 2012 Dodge Charger
    By -

    Although I never would have bought a Chrysler product in the past, the 2011 Charger redesign is amazing. Its beautiful, fun, blazingly fast, quiet and extremely comfortable. I only wish they would have had the 8 speed automatic available for 2011. The extra gas milage from the 8 speed would have been greatly appreciated. Otherwise, absolutely love this car. Cant believe I bought a dodge! Audio system and navigation are good, however some of the applications are not compatible with the iphone (like reading text messages). Also, I wish the doors would automatically lock on exiting the vehicle. The passive unlock system works well, but you still have to lock the doors when you exit.
