Dodge Charger

[DreamGirlie]

Does anyone here have one?

Have opinions on them?

We are thinking of trading in our 04 Dakota for one...with the employee pricing right now plus addtl discount it will be about the same monthly payment and it is a lot sportier looking and way more powerful!

Re: Dodge Charger

i loathe chrysler products, but if you're getting a deal, guess that's a decent reason.

those chargers are massive automobiles, horrible gas mileage, poor quality (chrysler), but hey, "it's got a hemi."

do you prefer Skoal or Kodiak?

just my opinion.


(this coming from a guy driving an F150, so...i'll see myself out.)

Re: Dodge Charger

I thought this was good...no? I actually like F150s way better than the dakota...but i wasnt around when it was purchased lol.

"The advanced Multiple Displacement System (MDS) uses electronics to switch from eight cylinders to four during cruising and light acceleration, delivering up to 350 horsepower with the fuel economy of a large V6. The transition is seamless and imperceptible, requiring a mere 40 milliseconds (0.04 seconds) to activate or deactivate the telescoping lifters, fuel injectors, and sparkplugs.

• Up to 20 percent improvement in fuel economy†
• Seamless transition from eight to four cylinders
• Power when you need it–fuel economy when you don't

Re: Dodge Charger

... erm... if it wasn't for the coupon for threadless in an earlier post the flamethrower would be out, but to each their own. A deal is a deal however so if you can pick up something new on the cheap then go for it. personally i think they're god awfully ugly.. and i'd say that even if it was an audi... however, audi would never build something so god awfully ugly so nevermind .. now please excuse me while i go pick up my fiancee' and listen to coldcut in my a6....



just having fun my dear and by the way.... nice av.

Re: Dodge Charger

Re: Dodge Charger

jamie,

don't buy american cars...the long term quality just isnt there, unfortunately. My family has had GMs, Chrysler, and Dodge...and all of the cars have had significant problems within a year of the waranty expiring.

Go with Japanese or German...Acura/Honda, Toyota, Nisan, BMW, Audi, Benz. The quality is there, and they'll last forever...especially the Japanese cars. Civics may be made fun of alot, but you can't laugh at how long they run without problems...

IMHO, go with an acura TL or TSX, a Honda Civic V6, or a Toyota Camary V6. You won't have problems with them unless you *seriously* abuse them.

Re: Dodge Charger

We have a Dodge Dakota and love it...havent had one problem with it and its an 04. I like Honda/Acura but they dont have the size car with the look we want right now.

Re: Dodge Charger

Im not a fan of chrysler vehicles but its a nice car.. Espcially the R/T model. The sales on the car are sky rocketing so they must be doing something right.

I can personally vouch for this too. I know at least 2 other people in my Office (one with a Dodge Neon and one with a Chrysler Mini Van) who had serious problems with their vehicles. iirc the Mini Van had a faulty tranmission at 36,100 miles

Luckily they both bitched about it long enough where the dealers fixed 'em free of charge.
