  • I stand by my critiques. Why would anyone ever buy this vehicle? Just get R/T or a Mustang or a Camaro. I can't believe people buy this thing in this spec

      @@cooltigerdude Looks nice, drives nice, decent gas mileage, always gets compliments. Other than the fact that my Mustang GT is a V8, has a standard trans, and is more fun to drive, I actually kind of prefer my Challenger SXT in other ways. I will admit that I sometimes wish it was a V8 R/T or Hellcat--but that feeling goes away when I consider that the SXT is better on gas and is AWD, which is much better on snowy winter roads around here. Besides, I have the Mustang GT for "fun driving." That said, if Dodge would have made an AWD R/T, I'd probably have gotten that.
      I will admit that I'm biased. I do not like 4-door cars. My favs are Mustang, Challenger, Camaro, Corvette, Nissan Z, Toyota Supra, Mazda Miata, etc. I'd love to have a new Nissan Z. I just think they are about the best looking small sports car out there right now.

    That is a base Challenger, it is supposed to be cheap and not very fast. You get the good looks of the platform, the comfortable front seats, usable rear seats, decent fuel economy, and acceptable performance. The Challenger is not the Dodge sport car, nor was it ever supposed to be a sports car, their sports car is the Viper. This is their muscle car, but in a very base version, like a base V6 mustang. Yes, the car is huge for what it is and has poor use of all that real estate. A used 2017 Mustang GT would be a much better car, and so would a used 2017 Challenger Scat pack 392 , or better yet a used 2017 Charger Scat Pack 392 that has 4 doors and a completely adequate rear seat for adults. The Charger Scat pack would run right there with the Mustang GT and it would be 10 times more practical and even the Challenger Scat Pack 392 would still be way more practical than a Mustang GT. There is a reason why the Dodge Challenger outsold the Ford Mustang in 2021 and 2022, they are just bigger cars with more way room, they are more comfortable, they have a real usable trunk, and a usable rear seat, plus they look great.

    So funny. I had the exact opposite reaction after renting an SXT. Loved it and am planning to buy one. I’ve had plenty of VWs and loved my GLI but several had issues with the radio unit shutting off while driving and the HVAC clogging up, smelling horrible. The interior of a Challenger isn’t where it’s at. It’s the drivetrain and the smooth cruiser style. I bet you had more ppl noticing you in the Challenger than in the GTI. Muscle cars aren’t for everybody just like hot hatches might not be everyone’s cup of tea.

    Because the Challenger is as close to a classic American muscle car as you can get in 2024.
    Thats really the entire draw. The heavy, inconvenient visibility styling is part of that.
    The V6 is largely for beating insurance payments but having the look.
    Many of the complaints are valid to be sure.
    Visibility is trash, materials are very basic on this model you are in.
    Car is heavy and low. Doors are super long and open wide.
    Couldn't be more opposite the boxy, lightweight Golf so had to feel completely strange to drive.
    But others are completely on your lack of understanding of the car and its features which is understandable because it was a temp solution not something you researched and bought. Uconnect offers a lot of settings and features you had no clue about.
    The v6 pentastar is a really good motor. Ultra reliable up to 250K miles.
    But not a true sports car motor unless you unlock it with 6k-7k RIPP turbochargers.
    Anyone buying a 2017 mustang GT is on crack though. There is about a 90% chance that car has been driven like hell and resold as it falls apart.
    I say this as having a 1985 GT 5.0 as my first car and love. I also blew that motor and 2 clutches but I was 16 when I got it.....
    NEVER buy used sports cars unless you know and trust the owner.
    There are things I did in that GT 5.0 I won't confess until judgement day.
    A 50-dollar throttle controller upgrade will get a base v6GT to do well below 6 in 0-60. By well below I mean 5.7/5.8 lol.
    There are a ton of videos on that for others here that actually want to learn.
    For 2K in upgrades the v6 can beat the basest stock v8 and not have the 150 extra a month premium on insurance.

    This from Motor Trend Magazine. 2023 Volkswagen Golf GTI S test car-which sits at the bottom of the lineup below the GTI 40th Anniversary Edition, GTI SE, and GTI Autobahn-came, as mentioned, paired with a six-speed manual transmission. That's a rare treat in the car-testing world these days. As noted up top, this 3,110-pound hatchback launched from 0 to 60 mph in 6.4 seconds, and it completed the quarter mile in 14.8 seconds at 99.1 mph. I dont know what model Golf you have 2023 a VW GTI R will get you into the 0 to 60 in the 4 second range but your talking the price of a Challenger Scat Pack. Some VW Golfs might be faster and handle better but they are ugly. Golf looks like every other car like it on the road so no one really notices them. If you want a fast Challenger you buy a Scat Pack or a Hellcat.

    I can see why you have so many negative things to say about this car, as you’re coming from a Golf R. But this car is a throwback to old school muscle cars, and that’s why people love it. What you had there was basically a base model V6 with sport package. MSRP is pretty high, I agree, but a lot of these V6 cars are being sold with big discounts and to rental car companies. I’ve seen these cars with $10k discounts for years. From base SXT to Scat Pack. For $25k, I think it’s a great brand new car. Yes it’s outdated inside, but it’s a pretty comfortable cruiser that has decent power and fuel economy, and has full warranty. Before Covid you could buy a brand new Scat Pack with Plus package that adds leather and other things for under $40k, with discounts. Those were the best days to buy these cars. I’ve never owned a Challenger, but I had a Charger Hellcat for 5 years and after I sold it 2 years ago I decided to get a Scat Pack recently. I love these cars. I had a rental V8 RT last year, base model. The factory active exhaust was the best part about that car. Suspension was nice and soft as it didn’t have sport package. Wasn’t very fast but fast enough, with great sound. I loved it. I personally wouldn’t buy a car like this without factory leather heated and ventilated seats and bigger 8.4 inch screen (but even a bit smaller screen like the one in your car has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so that’s already a big plus). I completely get why a car like this is not for everyone, but a lot of people are not as picky as you are, and are very happy with their Charger or Challenger. I suggest you get to drive one of these cars (Charger or Challenger) with a V8, that has factory active exhaust (if I’m not mistaken RT got it in 2018, but Scats and Hellcats all have it standard since day one). You might change your opinion about these cars.

      Also, I’ve never had an issue with my cars always go to FM after I turn them off and back on. If I was playing music through Bluetooth or USB, it would always stay that way until I change it myself. And if I’m not mistaken, you can change how long the power stays on after you turn the car off in settings. Btw all 2 door cars have big doors to make it easier for people to get in the back.

    Also I’ll say the suspension kinda kicks in when you push it. I take fast turns all the time it’s fun and the traction control knows how to keep it in line even if you’re a newbie with it. Don’t try on wet pavement though. I actually prefer the ride of a base SXT it’s a true cruiser and much softer. If you have long commutes it eats up the highway and 30mpg. No gripes here just seemed like an honest review.

      Actually...Mustangs and Camaros are 'pony cars', and even the first gen Challenger, in 1970, was pony car-ish. Now, the new Challenger is bigger than its predecessor, and is more of a GT or 'Grand Touring' car. Just get in, point to where you want to go, and go. Also, since you're upset about undercover cops--many states are now switching to using the new Ford Mustang as an interceptor, so my advice is to drive nice.

I don’t own a Challenger because I had the good sense to rent a Challenger from Enterprise way back when and drive the thing for a few days - visibility sucked for me also - so I moved on, duh!

    I understand 100 why you dont like the car. I honestly liked hearing your perspective, because most the things you saw as a negative i love and would hate to live without.
    I love my huge heavy challenger, with is nose dive and body roll. The interior is so nice and clean but i can always personalise and make better.
    I would have honestly spend so much of my time and money just to make my car as nice as it is stock, so most other things are just a plus and i could only go up lol. And i have a 19 sxt rwd with pitch black paint. (Lower trim than gt)
    I could go on for days.
    I love those big old school cars.
    I understand why ppl love the small sports cars as well though. Its good to know the things you like, plus the things you dont, and every car enthuist should get to vibe with a certain car they love in thier life.

    The Dodge Challenger is a modern muscle car and I'm not sure you have a grasp of that concept. You would hate the Camaro's interior with even less visibility or room for someone your size. Muscle cars aren't for you. Which is fine. It's not garbage, especially for a base model Challenger GT. Just spend a few hours researching muscle cars someday.

    If you had any history, or any real idea of what this car is your would know it is not a sports car, hence the name GT.
    Grand Tourer.
    Great for what it is ment to be.
    Before you were around, the brand had a more pedsertian version, the SE. This was for the folks that wanted the looks of the car with out the grunt a Hemi car produced.
    It was a gentilemans GT.
    So with all his said, if you need a card to impail you too the seat, get a Hellcat or whatever version of the top and Challengers available to do so.
    If you want the looks but no bruit, get the GT or SXT. Every cars is not for everybody.

    This gotta be a joke, right? Almost every aspect of this car is critisized by you because of your high standards. Of course the Dodge Challenger GT is not a perfect all-round car but so is your Golf. Which is, btw, a joke to compare to a Dodge Challenger, because these are 2 whole different cars. My question is, since I heard some other guy in the comments say he couldnt hear the review over all that whining, why even bother making a video about the car? So much effort and time just for telling people this car is shitty because of your high standards.
