    Pretty sweet that they had a Hemi V8 on the rental lot and nice job w/ the review. BTW the fuel economy is 16 city/25 hwy for the Hemi. The 19/30 you mentioned is for the V6. There is no V8 that I've ever seen getting 30 mpg--that would be amazing.

I'd do it right now, bit I'm on the mobile app and I don't see that option. Anyway, thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to point out my mistake. I really do appreciate it.

      I got 29.8 mpg average on a road trip last year in my 16 RT (all freeway) The MDS system (vehicle shuts off 4 cylinders when just cruising) really helps in saving gas.

      @@p71josh impressive. I saw a guy reset his mpg and he was cruising his charger scatpack at 65 mph with 4 cylinders running and he started off with 39.7 mpg (he ended up with 27 because he eventually rose the speed to 75 mph with the ac running while going up and down a few times in about 300 miles)

    Unless they've changed the way the door locks operate, you do not need to touch the little button on top of the outer door handle to open the door. That is the lock button. You just put your fingers under the handle and pull and the car should unlock if you're within proximity with the keys. You push the button to lock/sound the horn when leaving the vehicle.

      +Grimm and Lily I think that's true of some cars, but not all. I'm in the Chevy Impala now and you do have to touch the button to unlock it...at least I'm pretty sure you do. I'm going to play around with it and shoot a quick video. I'll post it in a day or two. Take a look and let me know what you think.

    Two months ago in May I rented a 2022 Dodge Charger R/T hemi from Avis. This was at Ft. Lauderdale International Airport. The airport lots are loaded with a lot of cars. Anyone wanting to rent the R/T's go do the pickup at the airport. Was very happy with the rental. This Charger had the Blacktop package. Emblems, trim , wheels ,etc were blacked put. It had 7100 miles on the odometer. Performance was outstanding with the v-8 Hemi engine. Gas mileage was excellent. I was getting 28 mpg on the highway at 80 mph. Gas mileage in the city was very good too. Two weeks ago I rented from hertz the 2022 Chrysler 300. This one had a v6. What was interesting is the that the V-6 Chrysler 300 only got 30 miles per gallon. Just 2 mph more than the Charger Hemi. For those thinking or deciding to go v6 or Hemi if buying new from the dealership; go for the Hemi. 2 mpg is really no fuel savings. The Hemi is a lot of fun to drive. Overall, Was very pleased with the Dodge Charger R/T. Good ride and comfortable. Only thing I didn't like were the driver seat bolsters. They stick out too far making entry and exit from the car a little difficult. I found myself sliding the seat back to give extra room for a little easier entry and exit. Trunk space was very good. Plenty of room. I had the Charger for about 5 days. Was very pleased with the rental. Would definetly rent a Dodge Charger R/T again. I highly recommend to the TH-camrs out there to rent one for a few days. You'll definetly love it.

    I love these chargers, it's little annoying that it's possible to get the 8.4 touch screen without a back up camera. I know someone who has a 2008 R/T he bought brand new and it has over 250k miles now and it looks flawless. My dad rented one of these and he said it was the best rental car he's ever had. I've got my next rental car in 2 weeks and I'm praying that avis has one of these in stock... Great review! Kind of ironic that this is number 57, and has a 5.7

    I LOVE this machine! Some out there consider anything made by Chrysler to be junk, but I stll find it attractive and would consider getting an AWD version in GoMango or what they call Steel Blue (I believe). Great review, as usual, mate. The Challenger is interesting also but it's too much of a land yacht, if you know what I mean. It just seems that way. The Charger appears to be just right. Maybe it's the four doors that give the Charger the illusion of being more streamlined. Whatcha think? Peace...♐

    • @100RentalCars
      @100RentalCars  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +AladdinSaneNYC I'm not sure how much smaller the Challenger is, but I agree, it does feel very long when you're driving it. I prefer the Charger. Much easier to drive and I like having a real backseat and trunk. And I hope you do get one in Go Mango! It'll look great. Hit me up if/when you get it.

    • @100RentalCars
      @100RentalCars  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for the kind words! I gotta be honest, I don't think you're going to get a car like this from Alamo. You probably will end up with something like a Camry or an Impala. But don't worry, both are good cars too. Anyway, have a save trip. And let me know what you do rent. I've love to hear your thoughts on it. Cheers!

      @FarouqArifin 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've come back from my USA trip and luckily there were two Chargers in the midst of countless of Altimas, Camrys, or Malibus. Although they were all the V6 base version, it was still really good and more than enough for highway driving! The best thing is the infotainment, which was very easy to use with good connectivity + Apple CarPlay. I think the HEMI variant is reserved for the premium section, though.

      I not sure. I rent so often that I get upgraded all the time. So I don't know if this is a premium rental, but it's definitely not a standard rental. You don't see many of these on the rental car lot. And just a word of warning, but most rental car places cannot guarantee a specific type of car for you. They can only get you a similar class. The exception is Enterprise's exotics locations which rent out high end cars and SUVs.
