Top 5 Pros of 2010 Dodge Challenger
Top 5 Cons of 2010 Dodge Challenger




Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=PoorPros: What do you like about 2010 Dodge Challenger?
Retro 70's... I'm old school and is impressive in all aspects..ya gotta drive...
Mine is deep blue with R/T black badging.. Kick off with 18"inch chrome wheels.. A true eye stopper..and friend maker..
If you have a V6, you bought a girly car!! Be a man..not a wanna be!! And the V8 will hold value over a V6...years later..
For a pony car it's perfect I'm 50 yrs old and it maybe a crisis...now fixed..and an owner of a Pontiac trans/am for 29yrs and about same color..
This Challenger steps up to plate...refined and techy..the HEMI is a must have..and chrome...and the Mopar bucks helps 2G.
Cons: How would you improve 2010 Dodge Challenger?
Interior is bland but I understand they're sticking with 70's design. It's meant for business..has a few niceties...but you can change.. The 70's cars were bland and full of plastic starting in 1969..ugh!! And vinyl seats that cracked awful..remember them the seats..and spring in ya butt!!
I'd say if you order this car, improve your needs...but I prefer to build my style..that's me not what everyone else has!!! And saving almost 10Grand to The SRT8 was key...and most likely someone already has!!
2010 Dodge Challenger Review:
Overall ...I have had it for 2 weeks...and enjoy and having a muscle car already for many years.. This car steps up to plate in retro styling and improved performance from the 70's by far...a perfect combo.. You have to lived old school and own a muscle car..to truly understand this car..
The Camaro is ugly at best..looks like on steroids..cockpit goofy..and interior small...and not retro...
The Mustang would be a second favorite but...that's it.. It's sorta retro...
The Challenger..might not be the fastest or take the curves...but nor did the 70's Challengers and others. So if you're in need to fix your midlife crisis...or a kid starting one, this car does the job.....
"Git er done".... "Got er did"!!

Performance, style, ride. Acceleration is incredible.
Sounds great. Interior is comfortable, very nice details; seats provide plenty of support. Even corners well considering its size.
True to the concept of an American "muscle car" in every way - it is uniquely "American," which may be exactly what Dodge had in mind when producing this car. Certainly makes me feel happy to be living in the USA when I drive mine.
Big, bold, powerful, and exceptionally good looking. While some bash the size and weight (it's big alright, and it's got some heft - which you notice while driving it), the size does enhance the "attitude" of the car - it's got gobs of power that moves it effortlessly and with authority, and a really good suspension to move it around with ease and a confident feeling of controlling the size, weight and all that power.
Gas mileage - it's hardly fuel efficient by today's standards - but these types of vehicles aren't what you'd buy if gas mileage was among your higher priorities - no more than you'd buy this car to tow your boat, if towing was a requirement. This car is about fun driving, American style. It's about experiencing something exclusively American - our car culture.
It's one hot ride. Sure, there are a few cars out there faster by a couple of tenths of a second in the quarter, others that can out corner it on twisty roads, but as a daily driver not much of that matters. It's the "fun" factor, how you feel when you're moving down the road in a car you totally enjoy driving.
To any Challenger basher, I'd ask "do you look forward to getting in your car just to run down to the store?" Or, "is one of the highlights of your day driving to/from work?" Both are true for me - I've owned several muscle cars in my life, Mustang GTs, Camaro Z28 and SS models, and thus far, the Challenger SRT8 is my favorite.
Cons: How would you improve 2010 Dodge Challenger?
Not much to improve.
Just so happens, Dodge offers $2,000 in aftermarket MOPAR upgrades when you buy a new (2010) Challenger SRT - offering a nice blend of style enhancements (stainless door sill guards, for example), practical items (splash guards - nice if you live in an area where the roads are salted/sanded in the winter), and performance upgrades (cold air induction, tower brace, Cat-back exhaust).
Pretty good deal after paying $40K - you get $2K worth of MOPAR goodies to choose from free (how's that for a "rebate!"). You can get a lot from that $2K allowance if you forgo the polished aluminum rims.
About the only thing I'd improve is put ceramic brake pads on the Brembos to reduce brake dust - but that's an easy aftermarket fix and not expensive.
2010 Dodge Challenger Review:
Big, bad, beautiful and distinctly American. Drive one, and you'll feel good - maybe even a little more proud to be an American too.

Simply put, the car is great....except for one thing...see below.
Cons: How would you improve 2010 Dodge Challenger?
I have a six speed stick in mine. I dislike the feature that activates a solenoid and forces you to shift from 1st to 4th under certain conditions. The dealer told me it is a feature of the Challenger if it has a hemi and is also found in the Viper.....If I wanted to be told what gear to be in I would have bought an automatic!!



Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=PoorPros: What do you like about 2010 Dodge Challenger?
Styling.
Ride comfort.
Room.
Headlights.
Interior features.
Cons: How would you improve 2010 Dodge Challenger?
More choices of axle ratios in the auto.
Larger tires.
2010 Dodge Challenger Review:
The vehicle is quiet inside, has a roomy interior, performance is better then reported in the srt package. It's the best of both worlds - great ride, good handling - and more performance than most need, great sound system and more comfort features then a space ship.
