2008 Dodge Charger - Have Fun When Driving
The build of this car is high-tech and high maintenance, but it is very fun to drive.. The sealed transmission requires a specialized fluid, and only certain transmission shops will flush a charger's transmission. The sensors tell you when tires need to be inflated, rotated or if the tread is running thin. The engine requires a special grade of motor oil that is expensive, but it takes more time for the oil to require changing. Besides those high-maintenance pointers, the car accelerates very quickly, and the ride is exceptionally smooth. Driving on the expressway gives me a rush because not only can I go faster than most other cars, but people think I am driving a unmarked police car and they get out of the way or slow down. It is sort of fun, although maybe mean, but hey, I am not ac... (more)
Story
Me and a friend drove 3 hours out the city to visit a military friend and hang out for his birthday. We partied until 6 am, and drove back into town right after. We had so much fun, even though we were very exhausted the next 2 days.
Pros
It has fast acceleration. The brake system is very tight. The seats are comfortable. The car gets great gas mileage, and at $3 a gallon, I can fill up the tank with $35 and ride more than a week. There is spacious leg room in the front and back. My car has both air conditioner and a sunroof, so there are multiple ways to cool off or let air circulate throughout the car. The car rides very smoothly, you hardly feel any bumps in the road.
Cons
The maintenance on the car is quite expensive. The insurance rate is high on the car because its considered a fast driving car. The car requires specific tires in order for the speed calibration to be correct, and those cost $200 each minimum. The Transmission is sealed, and requires a certain oil, which can only be found at the dealership and costs $8 a quart. Because it is sealed, you must purchase a $100 tool just to check the fluid levels, which does not come with the car. The engine and coolant oils are also specialized fluids that can be difficult to find.
2006 Dodge Charger - Best Car ever
I like how sleek and cool it looks, it is definitely a head turner. It also accelerates quickly and smoothly, getting you from one place to another quickly. It also has been very reliable, no major mechanical failures or break downs. I have never driven a car with so much power and force. It does not consume a lot of gas either so that's a huge plus as well
Story
I remember running from a hurricane with my son. We left Virginia and drove to west Virginia so we would be out of harms way. When we tried to check into a hotel, I discovered we didn't have enough money, so we slept in the car overnight until it was time to drive back into town.
Pros
The car accelerates quickly, so you don't have slow take offs or take a long time to get to speed on the interstate. The calibration of it is good because you do not feel the bumps in the road as your ride, just smooth coasting. The car only requires 12 gallons to be filled, and that lasts me a whole week, so it is a true gas saver.
Cons
Everything on this car is specialized, so while the car burns less gas, you will spend more money with maintenance. All the fluids are specialized, in which case, some of them are not easy to find, and when you do find them, they are expensive. Also, the car comes with aluminum lugnuts, which is horrible when you are stuck on the side of the road with a flat. After you take them off a couple time, they strip and are very difficult to get off. Some side of the road assistants wont take them off if they are already stripped, forcing you to call spend more money not just getting the tire fixe... (more)
2006 Dodge Charger - Great! Wish I knew more about it before
The car is great! It is very spacy inside. Lots of room for tall people and for us short people, the car has awesome features like adjustable pedals. I feel so much safer in this car than in a smaller car. I came from a small town and do not like driving in the big city, but I feel safer in this car than in a Civic. The trunk on this car is amazingly big. When I go on vacation, I don't even fill up the trunk with my family's bags. Like the interior, the trunk is great on space. The looks of the Charger are also nice. It stands out in a crowd of cars (unless its a crowd of Chargers).
Pros
This car has the V6 engine which gives it enough power to be really fun to drive, but it keeps the mileage around 20-25 in the city so that it makes it nice on the wallet. The engine on this car also makes me feel safe while I drive it. I feel like I am in control of the car and the steering is very smooth.
Cons
The only noise that I noticed is what seems to be a loose screw in the roof. The moon roof in the car means that the roof of the car is thick and I think that there is a loose screw in the roof somewhere. Sometimes it is annoying, but other times it's fine.
