That bumper/grill makes it look sooo much meaner than the 2015 onwards.
Yes it does.
Nah
I feel the same way, except the srt grill’s on the hellcat/scat.
i say yes except for the widebody, that looks so good
Am I the only one who likes these better than the new ones?
I thought the same, until I got my 15 SRT lol. The new one is much better.
And I guess I'm the only that likes it without the spoiler
I like the 2010's
Nope, I like 2011 to 2014 better!
MEXA Titantron nope not at all like these more than the aliens lol
I love these older models of the chargers. One of my older teammates owns a charger v8 from 2014 and he let me go for a ridealong and I couldn't have been happier. The sound from the engine made my day and put a big smile on my face
It's always interesting going back and looking at the previous generations and seeing the differences with the new design. The 2015 redesign was huge and substantial. It got me into the Dodge showroom and now have owned 2 different challengers.
Franklin's car in Gta V
No it's not. The Charger was first, and it's not franklin's. It's a Dodge Charger.
Trevor Gilbert He was referring to a video game! Grand theft auto 5... A character named Franklin drives a car with the same body style!
yeah
Trevor Gilbert are you mad it is a charger see the title
Yes, the Buffalo S had the body of a 2006-2010 Dodge Charger but had the front end and back end of a 2012-2014 Dodge charger srt8. It's a mix.
For some reason I prefer the 2011-14 body styles more than the 15+
A DRANKKK it looks so much more aggressive
Same, besides for the ugly grill
Me too...
Mac Miller's dead LoL at least that can be swappes
06-10 most aggressive, meanest look and stance
This will always be my favorite model of the SRT8 Charger.
Even in 2020 these bodystyles still look gorgeous love how aggressive it looks
I like it better than the current gen too. Just like the Chevrolet Camaro.
You do no it’s still the same body style 2011 to 2022 only thing different is the bumpers in headlights
Dude the 6.4L sounds so good. I’ve never been a mopar guy, but I met a guy on the road with a really clean SRT8 and I’ve been in love ever since.
Just picked up a 2014 silver billet SRT8 in Wisconsin. So hard to find. Got lucky. The car fucking rocks! RT is nice, but if ya wanna really be able to do what YOU KNOW YOU WANNA do in this car, if you can afford it, don't inch your way into this vehicle......spend the time/money and get the SRT8. You don't need a hellcat, but the slightly lower model, will, trust me, deliver. 470hp and 470 lb/ft of torque, well, take a drive. And, for me, the 2015 body style....cannot be beat! I love the hard angles and aggressive front end. She is big, beautiful, predictable, and gets a lot of looks. Packed full of technology, but more important to me, she fucking is powerful...period. Floor it on a straight line, and feel yourself get sucked back into the seat and have smile on your face. Um, this is pure muscle. It's what you wanted the car for, and it's what it delivers...………………..period! Oh, and you may want to get a radar detector....ask a bit of prayer from the angels that you don't get caught from the police when you will, and trust me, you WILL, want to hit that luscious 470HP and 470LB/FT of torgue. Um, grinning still!
this car is just so beautiful..a masterpiece
God damn I want this Charger so bad! Perfect model, fully loaded, nice clean look with the white and black. 😩🤤
me too
Don’t use the Lord name in vain man. I know the car is cool but don’t use God name like that.
Anyone interested in a 2013/14 SRT-8 this is an incredible review.Thank you.
I love the taillights on this car. Great visibility in pouring rain or snow. (from cars in the back of you)
Hands down my favorite iteration of the Dodge Charger. So much so, I had to buy one for myself. Most dependable, and enjoyable car that I've ever driven. If you're on the fence between and RT or SRT in these models years, spend the extra $12k, you won't regret it.
Hey there is a 2014 rt with 155,000 miles for sale for $9,000 near where I live. I’m considering taking a look at it. What do you think?
I found a srt 2014 for 25000 and I Alr have 11,000 for a down payment so I can’t wait to get it I’m 15 btw
Serg Soir go for it
Shareef Seck you’re only 15? That’s what’s up man making moves. Insurance might be a little up there for you because of your age, but best of luck man!!
I LOVE the exterior on the 2012-2014 models. The 2015 just doesn't cut it for me. Gonna getting this car in a few months.
@@Nothingness0543 ikr. Like boi did you get that Yacht.
Did you get it?
Did you get it?
Did you get it
Did you get it?
Car companies need to use this guy as an owners Manuel . He is very through and the addition of test drives makes for a great experience.
Guy that traded the SRT in for the BMW should have kept the Dodge! My wife's f10 550xi just got back from the dealer after 10 days in the shop under warrany. Also had injector failure merging on interstate. The 300 SRT I drive has never failed us. Good review Kyle.
ummmm no how dare you compare an charger to an BMW..smh
Kevin Anjuwon how dare you even comment
Greg Hey that doesn’t mean anything some cars are just worse than others.
Damn, you are one hell of a reviewer! Excellent review!
Nice last name
This is a great performance car for the price. The touch infotainement is top notch.
2006 to 2010 SRT8 is STILL the more aggressive looking charger to me & i love it!
Great years. Respect to all years of this great car really.
i like the the 2015 & 2016 scatpack & srt because of the hoodscoop is back & it makes it look a little more aggressive. but the 2014 R/T is nice my friend has one
SRT HEMI I like the newer inside. To me it goes with the characteristics of the car and gives you a smooth transition simple to function controls. Very good combo.
Those chargers were ugly af
This is the best car review channel on TH-cam, I can't stop watching
It’s so beautiful. I need a moment to collect my thoughts…
The one thing I love is how everyone is complaining about how bad the interior is, hate to tell you, you need to be in an upper model, not a SXT. I'm looking at buying a SRT and I know that the interior quality is good, also this is the CLEANEST interior design to date if you look at American cars.
Best reviewer on You Tube .. and best cars .. I have the SRT8 and the wife has the RT..
I’m considering a 2014 Super Bee and I just want to thank you for producing such an informative video.
Great review kyle, I actually saw someone driving a superbee down the street in my city least week, chargers are sick.
U watch spears?
Spiers*
BlueSnowballGaming yeah but i live in california so when i saw a superbee i was like SPIERS!!!!!!!!! bt it was actually some buff black dude.
Speirs is awesome I love his vids
TheEpicTurban Thats me. LOL
By far the best looking srt charger they made. New one is nice don't get me wrong but something bout this specific body style charger that is just sexy
Can't wait tell you do a Hellcat Charger/Challenger review Kyle!
cobra454tim Me too!
Me too
Have you got one planned for us soon? +Saabkyle04
Joel Sadler At the moment, over 5000 challenger hellcats have been ordered and Chrysler is doing their best to get them all built haha. I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being a while. Then again I'd love to be proven wrong haha.
LOVE THE DESIGN AND SOUND DODGE
Badass American Muscle, great video Kyle!
The widebdoy on these is crazy
My dream car
Dervano Lawrence If you work hard enough, you might just get it someday.
TheSilentBang thanks i will
Dervano Lawrence or even something better. I run a store. A sort of Motorsport store. I sell helmets,fire extinguisher,fire suit,Jeep and Harley Davidson Apparels,and many more. Before that I worked for Pontiac untill....Pontiac died. I'm only 37 BTW. My cars? 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland
ok kool
iamDervy they’re are nice ride
I passed that dealership on Friday when I was coming back from the GoodGuys Rod & Custom Association car show at Charlotte Motor Speedway!
Bravado Buffalo
Loix Games my thoughts exactly looks just like my buffalo
FC1988
This the Buffalo S
The Buffalo looks like it was based off this car, and it probably was
Yeah, that good
I just got the 2014 model same color except with red interior. It makes a huge difference in appearance for the interior of the car. I absolutely love this car and get a lot of compliments on it as well. No complaints so far.
This car is great! I will soon buy a new one
We have a 2013 Charger RT/AWD. Best snow car I've ever owned. Liked it so much we picked up a 2014 Charger RT 100th Anniversary edition. It only has rear wheel drive, but when you push the Sport Mode button on the screen, it's a blast to smoke the tires. It's fun to have one Charger for winter and one for spring and summer.
I wish they would release a manual transmission version of the charger, it is an amazing and stunning vehicle but a manual version would allow drivers to have more fun and be able to harness the full potential of that V8 HEMI, not that the automatic isn't great !
Dude thank you so much for making this comprehensive overview of this car. I am in the process of looking for a new car and I have been thinking of getting and SRT Charger in this model year. This helped me out a ton with making a choice. Great job!
Annnnd cue the complaints about American cars....
Tyrone King Yep lol
***** Nice review. I just happened to notice those comments on American cars. Lol.
Tyrone King Thank you! It's alright, to each his own, everyone has different tastes.
I would say to them, "shut up!!!". The 2015 mustang, the ford gt40, and the chevrolet corvette are the best American cars. Still, car reviewers say that they are horrible. What has happened to car reviewers? (Not you Kyle, you're the best)
Honestly Chrysler has been killing it lately. Beautifully simple interfaces, well thought out features. The material quality is bad but who cares when it's that cheap? Beautiful value.
Love that particular car
I wish the charger came in a lighter coupe design with a manual transmission like in the 60's that would be amazing hopefully in the future.
Kyle, one thing I noticed is you mentioned a couple times it is the 2nd generation Charger. Isn't it technically the 7th generation? With first being 1966-67 2nd 1968-1970 3rd 1971-74 4th for the late 70s 5th being the 80's fwd version and obviously the 05-10
My dream car
Great review Kyle. Looking forward to the 2015 Charger.....hope you do a review. When are they going into production? Keep up the good work!
For me this is the best charger models(2011-2014)
The best Gen of the retro Chargers 🤞🏻❤️
so its basically just a scat pack but 5 speed and cheraper
They built the scatpack off of this car lol SRT>scatpack = cheap version of an Srt lol
@@Smoke_SRT these are harder to come by then scat packs tho. but yea these look very nice
Still the great vehicle for me to drive one.
3:00 Did Dodge change the badging on the back for the 2014 SRT8? Because I'm looking online for one, and all of them just have SRT on the back instead of SRT8 like the 2013 model does... They do say SRT8 on the dash inside though, so I'm assuming Dodge really did change the badge for the 2014 SRT8.
Constantinos Salpadimos I believe the 2014 was the last year to feature the full "SRT8" badge with the number. (Don't take my word for it tho) I do remember a good amount of chargers also carrying the current "SRT" badge. Either way both very nice.
Constantinos Salpadimos take that back I think 2013 was the last year they did. I'm seeing a lot of 2014 chargers on google with just "SRT"
+Speed Demon That's what I mean, I did the same and all of them have just SRT on the back instead of with the 8 like the older models do. Seems like Dodge changed the badge for the 2014 model SRT8. Such a shame, I really preferred the older badge they used that said SRT8.
This model stands out way more than the 15+ models.
I like the new chargers and the chargers from 2011-2014 but ultimately I prefer the exterior and front look of the latter because the 11-14 ones just look pissed off whereas the new ones don't but that's just me
my cousin let me drive hers and I came here to see more about it, hers has over 160,000 miles on it and it still runs amazingly
I'm european and i love german cars...but this Charger is very beautiful 😍
Hello kyle, im a big fan of your videos and I watch all of them start to stop but the only thing is that you show alot of exhaust clips. Personally I think you can shorten up your videos by a couple of minutes but thats just me ya know? Keep grindin those gears man!
xRedneckxXxBassX Thanks man! I do it because a lot of people have requested it over the years! The most lengthy bit are the infotainment demos, some can take 5-6 minutes! I try to give different exhaust perspectives with varying revs and road clips when I'm able, that's the reason there's a bunch :)
I love how he drives the cars now. That was the only thing I didn't like about his Chanel, love the video.
The dodge charger SRT8 from this generation is the most awesome trim/model of any mopar IMO.
So gorgeous!

Hey Kyle, can next upload be the 458 or the huracan?
dealers
Lol what?! I've seen the Huracan in Lambo dealers already...
No, they are selling them at dealers, just in small numbers. Anyways, I asked because those cars were under "future videos to come"on Facebook.
you're right im still sleppy... i was thinking he was talking about the hell cat
Yeah. What isn't really out in America is the Ferrari California T.
I still believe this generation is the best looking 🙌
I like the SRT8 but I could do without the spoiler
Would it be smart to get an srt8 if you can afford it? I've had this whole "just cuz you can doesn't mean you should" feeling towards it. Given I'd have more money if I went with the RT
A 5-speed auto? Is it year 1995?
Yes. The 5G-Tronic was designed in 1992. Only reason they have them in the SRT Chargers/Challenger's is because Chrysler is a fucking cheapskate. The 7G-Tronic which is much better came out in 2003. Not to mention the 9G-Tronic came out in 2013.
Franklin's car in real life 😎
Hot ride. I always like dodge exteriors but the Interior always makes me say no. Looks like they put a seat down and thru some shit around it. Still a hot car from outside
Hey Kyle Do You Think You Could Do A Jaguar XJL. Or The XJL R ?
Franklin's car :)
One of my favorite American cars, great review! Thanks!
I traded my 2012 Charger SE into the BMW dealership and got a 2013 5 Series Bimmer after having my Charger brand new for a bout a year. The cars look great dont get me wrong but I had tons of problems with mine, recalls, bad sensors, etc and that was only at 7k miles. Had to let her go.
***** Ive had mine for a year, 12K miles. No problems. A lot better than what I explained with the Charger.
***** Yeah I deff take care of it, gotta make those last, they arent cheap. I love Audi's as well but those Grand Cherokee's are nice too, congrats on the buy.
Sounds like it's all because you didn't get a Hemi.
Beautiful car 😍
Where the hell do they put 19 SPEAKERS!!!
Andrew Tewes Cadillac ct6 has 34
i bought a 2012 srt8 charger last year for just over 22k out the door ( tax title fees and extended powertrain warranty) had alot of miles on it and things went wrong within the first couple months that got covered by that warranty, after owning it for almost a year now, its my absolute favorite car ive driven, great car for a good price now
How’s your car holding up
Thinking of buying one but they are all almost high mileage
@@sendit3251 well other than having the issues i had in the post above its great, only issue i have now is a sensor needing to be replaced, its a great car
Theres a Yellow 2012 Srt with 67K Miles for 29K you think thats a Good Price ?
@@delzermitch 26k Is Stick Price not 29
@@Lovelife_365 yeah thats around normal for that, most ive found with 50k to 60k miles are between 27 to 35k now
Want one so bad, but I hate how the revs only go up to 4000 rpm, kinda disappointing. I drove my friend's dad's srt8 challenger and I gotta say it was an amazing feeling.
Jeremy Stire I'm pretty sure dodges are limited to 4K rpm in park
Sounds better wit a flowmaster 🔥
Even better with long tube headers, corsa xtreme system and electric cutouts
It's Franklin car from GTA 5
Dodge Charger SRT-8 The game designers made Franklins car look like the SRT-8 on purpose you are right it isn’t the SRT-8 but they made it look exactly the same and just gave it a different name so they don’t get copyright. So technically it is Franklins car but with just a different name.
@@FishbedFive Are you okay? Because THIS car IS what the BUFFALO is based off.. Its a mixture of the 2006-2010 charger srt8 and the 2012-2014 charger srt8. Thats why they're calling it "Franklin's car" because it is.
@@FishbedFive Okay? You're confusing right now. I'm sure they get that it's not his actual in game car. That's impossible since it's an animation. Every, if not most of the games cars are based off real life cars mixed with other real life cars just so they wont get a law suit against them. I'm sure you already knew that, and just want to put your 2 cents in.
Love these chargers wish they were sold in the UK.
This car is so fucking sexy.
Just bought my first car on my own and it was this. 2014 charger with only 88k miles. Only 300hp at stock but not was definately pretty fast during the test drive
and stupid as this might sound I am looking forward to seeing the SRT Journey that's coming out in the next year or two. It looks so nice besides the fact that its a soccer mom crossover.
Pontiac I've never heard of that, sounds interesting!

this is what it is rumored to look like

I forget what magazine I read it in but it said its a turbo awd. Hope to see it here one day haha

I've driven a Challenger SRT, 300 SRT and Charger SRT and for some reason the Challenger felt like a boat while the 300 and Charger felt like a normal, mid-sized car.
Mitch Silby That's interesting, I'll have to see if I can grab a challenger somewhere and compare. I've never driven the SRT counterpart, been at least 4 years since I've driven an RT challenger so I can't remember.
Yeah it's the strangest thing and I'm pretty sure they weigh close to the same amount
How could Franklin afford this ? Drug or stealing ?
nobody said it was an srt
Great review Kyle, keep up the good work, and may i request a Porsche 918 review in the future maybe?
Mohammad abu It's not likely to happen in the near future, but hopefully someday. I do have a Carrera GT coming in the near future though :)
***** That's awesome, can't wait to see it man!
Bravado buffalo s ,anyone?
😂😂😂
I always new this was Franklin's car
I still think the 2011 to 2014 models are the best looking 21st Century Dodge Chargers so far.
Too brick shaped its ugly the current one is more aerodynamic and better looking overall
Looks like a fucking fridge.....
Yes haha lol yea that's why I stick with German cars
FishFind3000 That's my favorite part about it. It's bold, large, angry and flat out cool looking ;)
Josue Trujillo lol "allowed germany to have a auto industry"... Good one...
Germans ia better engineers than american in pritty much everything.
Cars, machines, robots u name it, thats german territory boy..
Germany is pritty much the best auto makers in the world.. They own like half the auto industry in the whole world....
Josue Trujillo vw, audi, bmw, mercedes, seat, skoda, mini, ducati, Lamborghini, bugatti, rolls royce, bentley, maybach and so on, i know i missing many, all those are now german brands pal... Worlds best cars
😂😂😂😂😂
Very nice redesign, Better than first generation!
I'm an American, so I'm gonna get an American car, not some shit import. red white and blue are the colors I proudly represent when driving this car.
I'm an American but when it comes to cars, AMG Mercedes are what I drive. However, I'm changing to Charger SRT8 or Camaro ZL1 due to my AMG is killing my bank account when it runs into all its issues. They are a million times better but so much more money even after you own it.
I’m so torn between my first car/bike it’s either this charger or an Indian scout 60
I can attest, this car is really fun to drive. Easy to daily, even easier to gap people with some proper mods.
Bravado Buffalo S
Please no GTA V references :P
Nope. Dodge Charger SRT8. The Charger was here first.
Really good review! I really want to get one one day
Sad that American car companies still can't figure out how to build a nice looking interior. It's just plain ugly
name one japanese or european company that will give you that much performance and a very nice interior for that price
Mercedes
Anton Bäcklund You fucking idiot...
boatcaptin14 This interior is top notch for the price. you can get a real nice looking RT for BMW 3 series money. That's a major WIN in my book. You get a lot of bang for your buck. Compared to the Chevrolet SS, this looks so much more modern and polished, with added quality.
***** people always find ways to Make American cars look bad, even though our car companies started the CAR lol
Hey Kyle, Nice job, I can wait to see your review of the SRT-8 Hellcat.. That should be nice with it upgraded interior and refinement.
398 hp for a car that weight 4000 lbs ..... my 350z with bolt ons would rape this
To bad it's a gay ass 350z lmao
*****
cool story broh tell me more plz
oh wow big surprise this is a 4000 lbs sedan of course your fucking 350z coupe will "rape" it.
Antwon Jenkins dont talk to me with attitude man
I'm sorry let me rephrase that...
Sir, it should come as no surprise that this 4,000 lb family sedan would be at a serious disadvantage to the Nissan 350z that you own do to the fact that you have not only modded said 350z, but that it weights roughly 1000 pounds less.
I so love the way you do the reviews! keep going that way
I love this car 😍
One of good used car's by Dodge I can buy.
Nice video!
I still have a 2014 blacktop model which I feel gets more looks than any of the new ones today. And with the exception of performance has most of all the features from the SRT. My favorite is the Beats Audio surround sound. I wonder how much better the Harmon Kardon is.
