    When you went through all the challengers in the beginning, I realized how many different specs of challengers there are. You can get a 800hp street legal drag car, to a 400hp muscle car, to a 300hp awd grand tourer with a v6. Imo one of the most diverse lineups for a single car

    I got a 2019 GT V6 AWD last month and I love it. I live In the northeast where we get snow and ice so it’s perfect. I’m not into racing or need anything crazy. I just love the classic look and it’s awesome for cruising. It’s all I need 👍🏻

    I bought a Challenger GT back in January. I absolutely love it! Why did I get this? Cause I wanted a cool looking daily driver that I didn't have to park in the winter especially since I live down a dirt road which is snow packed all winter long. Cant do burnouts? Well even if I could I doubt I would simply cause I don't like wasting money wearing out tires.

      Love how people like you think a V6 Challenger is for "New" drivers LMAO....Challenger in any trim is NOT for new drivers. Only reason many AWD Challenger owners have V6, cause that's all they offer in the AWD package. Some of us have to deal with snow and hills in the winter months. Owning a V8 trim doesn't make anyone more elite. Just means you live in a environment that supports a high HP rear wheel drive.

      @Buzzkilljoy1248 5 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      An AWD muscle car is an amazing concept (in my opinion, I think AWD is the superior powertrain, but to each their own), but in order to make it still feel like a sporty muscle car, it needs more power to compensate for the increased weight and it being delegated to all four wheels instead of the just rear ones.
      I'd say bump that V6 to a twincharged V8 to make it have that lovely beefy sound and to power through the terrain. With a manual transmission, of course. Then, maybe give it the rallye treatment. Tight coilover suspension and go the Subaru route with a full-time symmetrical AWD with an open differential for balanced handling. You get to have both practicality *and* aesthetic and the only thing you'd probably have to do at point is swapping to snow tires when the winter weather rolls around.
      The only thing that could make it an all-weather powerhouse is to offer the option of having a diesel engine.

      Dodge normally think about just looks and gazillions of horsepower. The AWD GT V6 is an interesting addition despite being uninteresting with small rims, skinny tires and the fact that a Honda Pilot can smoke it. It's probably for those who want a winter cruiser with muscle car looks - strange.

      Stingers are a terrible performance value. A V6 with turbochargers can't compete with V8s.

  • @yagnaotia
    @yagnaotia 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    your channel is by far the awesomest one i came across, everything in your videos feels so natural almost like a mini series about cars. From awesome car scenery at the beginning of each video to the technical specs while driving( better than standing right next to car and pouring information without any excitement.)
    And going over all the important stuff like the real life expectations people have when they go to buy a car.
    Keep up the good work yuri and Jakub!!!

  • @harrismi7
    @harrismi7 6 ปีที่แล้ว +30

    I'm surprised that the infotainment has so many features in it. I thought launch control and performance pages would only be in the high performance SRT & Hellcat versions. I have a soft spot for Mopars because I drove them for many years, so it is nice to see a positive review. I really like the yellow too, nice job coordinating your shirt Yuri.

    I drive a V6 challenger as a daily driver. And I have a LOOOONG commute. I rented a V8 R/T challenger prior to me making a decision and that base V8 was not much faster and the cylinder deactivation was super annoying. Glad I got the V6. 34mpg on the hwy.

    This is literally my dream car. I would like and a challenger that would be a sick looking car that I can drive in the NY brutal winters. For me, I won’t be doing burnouts or crazy stuff. I actually HATE how they are mostly hating on this car, like that ur opinion not mine. I love this car it has always been my dream car and this might sound crazy but I would take this over like a Lamborghini.

  • @OctaneStreet
    @OctaneStreet 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    To be honest, this is a car that heavily appeals to me. The Challenger has always been one of my favourite cars but living in Canada makes owning and daily driving a RWD muscle car a bit difficult. Seeing this AWD version is pretty dope, just wish it had 400hp and 350trq to make up for some of what it lacks. I decided to work towards a Mustang instead, but it was tough to pass this one up. Thanks for the review.

    Honestly it’s a good platform. You could swap it with a big v8 or you could upgrade and tune the stock v6. Give it wide sticky tires, a suspension upgrade and it would be fast as hell. With all wheel drive the acceleration would be insane.
