| Pros: What do you like about 2009 Dodge Challenger?
The Retro styling is superb. A four inch shortened copy of the Charger with a proven frame and quality suspension components.
Engine and transmission may not be state of the art, but possess a proven reliability factor for durability. Cons: How would you improve 2009 Dodge Challenger?
1. SRT-8 Wheels are "out of Place" with the styling of the car.
2. Cold air intake for a few extra ponies.
3. Consumers "Don't be fooled" with many of the so called performance items that are out there. Too many myths by so called experts.
4. Audio system speakers are of poor quality.
5. U-connect voice recognition does not work well. 2009 Dodge Challenger Review:
I own a SRT-8 manual trans. This is an excellent sports car that supports the feel of a road car better than that of a quarter mile machine.
Improved tire traction can improve handling with significant results, without the changing of suspension components.
One can expect years of dependable service and enjoyment, whereas most of all the main power units have been tested tried and true on other models of Mercedes-Benz, Chrysler, and Dodge vehicles. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2009 Dodge Challenger?
1. Looks and styling
2. Power and performance
3. Driving Comfort Cons: How would you improve 2009 Dodge Challenger?
1. Brake Dust (Brembro brakes leave lotsa of dust)
2. Could stand a back-up camera 2009 Dodge Challenger Review:
I own the SRT8 and while it is not as fast as a GT500 or the new Camaro it does provide an excellent driving experience and looks better than either the Camaro or Ford. The 6.1L HEMI is responsive and begs to be unleashed. The car handles extremely well with or without the electronic stability package on. The tenths of seconds you give up is more than made up for by the driving experience and ride comfort you get with this massive car. I take exception to those that bash the interior. Yes it doesn't have all the chrome and it would have been nice to have a voice recognition button on the steering wheel but all gauges are clear and easy to see and it is not a real reach to tap the Uconnect or voice recognition button. Finally, I have a real trunk to carry luggage my wife loves to pack on trips. All in all it is a great ride that also looks great. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2009 Dodge Challenger?
I have a Torred 2009 R/T 6speed. I like everything about this car.
I love the retro exterior styling.
I also like the interior styling. If you look at a 1970 R/T Challenger with black interior you can see what I'm talking about.
The car has good power, gets good gas mileage, and the 6 speed is fun to drive. Cons: How would you improve 2009 Dodge Challenger?
No 1-4 skip shift! 2009 Dodge Challenger Review:
I've had my car 13 months, I have 20,000 miles on it, this has been my favorite car to own. I love my Challenger!!!!! My car has everything but the sunroof and navi system, it came with the HID headlights-nice!!!!!!!!!
The car has been trouble free, it's well built, solid and just a beautiful piece of machinery!
I bought my car last January during the Employee, Pricing, Plus, Plus. My car stickered @37,515. They discounted 4500 off the sticker and I financed 48 months at 0% after 13% down. I even got a good deal on this sweet car. |

Interior. Why shouldn't a Dodge be more refined? 2009 Dodge Challenger Review:
Awesome. I love my Challenger. Out of all the retro styled American muscle cars that came out, the Challenger was the best handling and looking car. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2009 Dodge Challenger?
Styling, six speed manual, color(Hemi Orange)and it does attract attention whether you like it or not. The Challenger has nice acceleration and a great cruiser for longer trips. As with most people I do like the attention this car attracts and to talk to them about it. Cons: How would you improve 2009 Dodge Challenger?
Get rid of the chrome clad wheels.
6.1 engine option for the R/T model.
Relocate parking brake to the console area.
I do not like foot operated pedal. 2009 Dodge Challenger Review:
I enjoy very much the driving experience of this car. The down side was dealership itself, which is no reflection on the car but unpleasant. As an old mopar fan I was very excited when I heard this car was going into production. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2009 Dodge Challenger?
The 6-speed manual transmission has excellent ratios for exhilarating acceleration.
Suspension and handling make the Challenger an excellent daily driver under all road conditions.
Gas mileage is ok.
The insertion of a full-size MOPAR muscle car in today's ever-changing environment was an awesome surprise. Cons: How would you improve 2009 Dodge Challenger?
Improve the power to weight ratio to increase acceleration to match the apparent Chevy/Mustang competitor models.
"Ditch" the clad-wheel design and replace with a high quality or premium quality one-piece aluminum design similar to the SRT8.
And for Pete's sake, Manufacturers establish guidelines to restrict dealer add-ons, until after the sale to allow customers leverage to purchase vehicles at or below MSRP. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2009 Dodge Challenger?
Miine is the r/t six speed, with 20" wheels, sunroof and leather.
I like the operation of the sunroof.
The six speed is smooth and fun, but the skip shift from 1st to 4th is annoying.
Very quiet, smooth, stable ride
Steers Well
Comfortable seats.
Big Backseat.
Large Trunk.
Smooth brakes.
Looks Mean, Nice Grille. Cons: How would you improve 2009 Dodge Challenger?
Dashboard is Blaaah..not retro or different just a Dash!
Lacking gauges! No Oil Pressure or Volt meter (this is an RT)
Only ONE R/T Badge on the Entire Car..in the grille! Not one inside the car, or tail panel or fenders!
Seams a little weak on power..not as responsive as I expected. Maybe it's the cars weight.... or because it's a small block? Maybe it will improve with time..as it breaks in further? 2009 Dodge Challenger Review:
I like the Car but I don't want to be getting beat by the new base v8 400hp Camaro which is probably lighter, or the smaller base v8 hot Mustangs. Maybe the Base R/T should have more horsepower.. after all its bigger than the rivals! Maybe Two R/T engines like the 6.1 in the SRT without hiking the price way up for that whole SRT Package? I went way out on a limb to buy this! If I could do it again for not much more money I would go for a few more ponies! |

Almost everything about the CAR is OK. My major complaint is with the DEALER. The car lists for about $41K. The local dealer has added $20,000 on top of that, so the car is completely out of reach. I'm no closer to getting one of these than I was in the first place, and that was high school. Ugh. Cons: How would you improve 2009 Dodge Challenger?
EASY. The hood has AIR SCOOPS. Would it be too much to ask for these to ACTUALLY SCOOP AIR? WTF? The prototype showed that there were little doors that opened up to let in cold air. Now it is just fake plastic grilles that do NOTHING AT ALL. That's for MUSTANGS - not REAL muscle cars. The most iconic thing, to me, about REAL Mopar muscle cars (1963-74ish), is that most of their hood scoops were functional. Non-functional bling is for idiots. If you show us the prototype with something as cool as FUNCTIONAL air scoops, PUT THEM ON THE PRODUCTION CAR. 2009 Dodge Challenger Review:
How can I get on the list for one of the $30 K race versions? |
