Wear headphones! This video is recorded using binaural microphones to give you the most realistic “test drive” experience! In this video, I discuss my impressions with the brand new 2023 Dodge Challenger SXT V6 having driven it 2,000 miles on vacation. 2023 is the last model year for the Challenger, and I forgot to mention the "last call" plaque on the car.

[@abiolaadeoye5690]

I initially wanted a Tesla, but when i rented the challenger last weekend i ultimately changed my mind that am definitely getting one for my birthday in Jan 2024!!!!

[@dwaynejohnson3922]

Upload your Challenger when you get it, I love mine.

[@abiolaadeoye5690]

I actually picked up the new 2023 dodge challenger sxt blacktop edition last weekend as i promised myself...lol

[@Aharra12]

I got my challenger 2021 with only 45K miles on it for 20K and even after a month of ownership I’m still in love with driving it. The car glides and my kids love it. Especially my son. He refuses to get in the family car he is only 3 but the boy has excellent taste

[@abiolaadeoye5690]

@Aharra12 owning the car makes u wanna drive even when u dont have to. Am happy i got it instead of a tesla

[@cosmicentity1520]

Yessir!

[@gmacarthur81]

I have a 23 Challenger SXT with the Blacktop package. One of my favorite cars I have ever owned. I considered the RT but for $10k more, could not justify it.

[@ColtonSteiner]

Great review man!! It's a shame that Dodge is ending production on this car. Definitely one of my favorite looking cars out there.

[@PaulsPlace]

Couldn't agree more!

[@GT-43]

Dodge isn't ending production, the government is.

[@talentles]

Same, was gonna get a charger at first but challengers are more fun

[@matthewlupton1539]

@@talentles As an owner of a charger for the past 5 years... get yourself a charger lmao The challenger just has such little room on the inside and is slower across the board between the two. Ive been inside a couple challengers and I'd still pick the charger every time. It just feels way more spacious (in a nice way) and the 4 door aspect is so much more convenient for daily driving and just in general. You'll thank me very quickly if you do end up choosing a charger lmao

[@noobiepro276]

@@matthewlupton1539challenger looks cooler and that was enough for me to pick it over the charger

[@matthewlupton1539]

@@noobiepro276 yeah I definitely like the front end of the challenger more but if you’re planning on daily driving it then the extra head/cargo space of the charger makes more sense

[@johnathonbaker7313]

I just purchased my 2023 challenger and it’s solid white hard to keep clean but boy does it look amazing!! Got 160 miles on it now

[@GravityGamerXCII]

Its the best base model car out of all the sports car

[@CarnivoreJay]

I just bought the V6 STx last call in Sinamon Stick! I freaking love it!!!

[@nathanburkhardt5308]

as a 3.6 owner, your correct about it not really pushing power after gear 2 until 3500rpm... definetely gets annoying to not have that instant power in higher gears. thats why ppl say get the v8 for this car

[@davem.539]

Mine is a 2020 GT AWD blacktop package, great driver and roomy. Also i had my pcm unlocked and did the 93 octane tune, my 0-60 is 5.5 according to the dash.

[@tiffanystovall9014]

I enjoyed this video, I’m one this week, but like you said the v6 has a bad rep….I wasn’t disappointed when I test drove the one I’m getting this week👍🏽

[@WhatRYouAimingAt]

Everyone telling me not to get a V6 and only get the V8, coming from a bunch of people who don’t even have 200 HP. Base models of this car are faster than 75% of most cars on the road.

[@fire398017]

Has nothing to do with power. Well, a little. The real thing is the sound. It actually sounds like it should. This car is beautiful but hums like a sewing machine.

[@burgio850____2]

I got a 2015 v6 the 3.6 is bulletproof bro I came from a 04 BMW 330.....I say buy what you can afford and enjoy, besides you still can go after market and boost unless you are just die hard v8 the prices on cars are ridiculous I was about to upgrade to a 5.7 cause I wanted a manual but my v6 is paid off.....

[@robertpowell2247]

@@fire398017I just got a 21 SXT a few weeks ago and you’re absolutely correct. It sounds very disappointing,

[@barroncrist5779]

Excellent review. I own a 2019 Challenger GT in Go Mango. It has the uograded 9 speaker Alpine audio system. I bought a Weathertech cellphone carrier whuch sits in one of the cup holders. It's great cause when I play music the screen is right rhere and the phone is secure.

[@PaulsPlace]

That’s genius. Great idea!

[@caydensigle9915]

This is exactly the year I want. Do you have any issues on it after a lot of miles?

[@nicappelhans224]

I just had a 2023 Challenger GT v6 as a rental car for one week. I drove it from BG Ohio, through Soo Locks, Sudbury, ON, Toronto, hit a few laps on a dirt oval in Ithaca, NY, then Watkins Glen road course. Back in Ohio today after 2,100 miles. All my camping gear, stayed in some hotels, averaged 25mpg. Nav to my iPhone was decent, Alpine sound was nice. I beat the piss outta that car. It was dog dick red, no tickets. Got back to my hometown today, and it was completely brown. I returned it to the rental co. today. I have no complaints. I did road to Hana in Maui last year in a 2021 Camaro convertible in 2021. I like the challenger better. Seats were great! I drove 12 hours straight on my 2nd day. 3 gas stops. I’m 6’-0” 230lbs. Seats were comfy as f**k. Visibility was nice. Ergonomically everything is where you want it. I hate v6’s, but for touring across Canada, I liked it a lot. Cruised from Sudbury to to Toronto at 100+mph with a pack of car club dudes in Camaros mustangs and vettes. Climbed mountains nice, very enjoyable touring car.

[@jamesdavis8463]

Lovely!.., Kinda working with after seen

[@matthewlupton1539]

I gotta say my biggest complaint about my 392 charger is the steering wheel lmao they feel like one of those old school bus wheels with how circular they made them. I also have a new VW golf and it's not even comparable how much nicer the VW steering wheel feels.

[@angelraices5793]

I just bought a 2023 last call SXT and it is soo good, I m very happy with my purchase. The video quality is great, what camera did you used?

[@PaulsPlace]

GoPro Hero 9 for this one! Upgraded to the 11 recently.

[@borri68]

I bought a new 2023 SXT two months ago. Have spent a ton on mods already, waiting for my rims to get in stock, still two months out, new tires collecting dust. I've had two minor issues not really worth mentioning. The one thing I find annoying is how I can be in auto and it will be in like 5th gear at 35 MPH. at 50 it's in 8th. driving in manual mode will fix that but also when I'm driving uphill to the road to my house, going at 4,000 RPM when I floor it it doesn't even drop down one gear Makes it feel sluggish. overall I freakin love the car. Oh and in auto on the freeway it changes gears a lot, also annoying kinda.

[@cbowser8604]

Nice car. 1st time I have heard a negative comment on Michelins. Have Michelins on my R/T. Love them. Maybe it is a different model tire.

[@PaulsPlace]

Yeah, the Primacy MXM4s are garbage OEM tires. Any other Michelin model would do fine.

[@kentshaffer3298]

Don’t go by what the door says, look at the tires .... you need some air in ur tires to get better 0 to 60 time, u have them under inflated.

[@ratherrapid]

good review. I rented two of these for extended periods and a 2022 Malibu. As daily driver in city Malibu very superior. #1 u menti ed seats. Very uncomfortable in this CA + unable to go back ver far. Seat belts on both constant pain. Seat maneuverability well below 2023 standards. Window goes down a ways every time u open. Computer constantly makes decisions to u that u would not make e.g. The out of gear feature where u cannot move unless u stop shift lever way car wants--then it takes 10 min to get back in gear. Around city car is a clu ker, xo wide u Co stantly worry about door scrapes in parking lots. The good--reviewe is fairly accurate--tracks well, handles well, plenty of power for non drag racers. Main problem with this it's way below standard for 2023 type comfort. Beautiful car w issues.

Just bought one a week ago, I really like it! Overpriced a little but beautifullllll car!

[@validbutatwhatcost8754]

I did some donuts in one of these a few days ago and drove it around. Did my own review on it, I would honestly recommend it as a first muscle car/sports car. Sure, it doesn’t have the v8, but as you said it has decent power and it only costs around 32k, I found one for about 29k and I want to buy it as a fun throw-around car and as a fun daily.

Have you had a chance to review the Camaro? I’m wondering about the backseat room in the challenger vs Camaro.

[@PaulsPlace]

Not the new one, I have a few older ones on the channel, they’ve pretty much remained unchanged over the years besides some body panels. I’d say slightly more in the Challenger but you definitely should not buy this for backseat room, haha.

[@canny8228]

End of an era...

[@martinstyblo6355]

Sad true. Both V6 and 5.7 Hemi are great cars! Of course it is hard to beat the Hemi sound and character (truly instant power delivery), but the V6 still makes me enjoy it as daily driver with some fun...

[@turboZ3]

so kewl

Adding a few PSI does help at higher speeds.

[@Jessica226.]

I literally bought this car yesterday and the only thing that bums me out is the exhaust is too quiet for me ... I want it to sound like it has a hemi ... also I needed the AWD because I live in a state where it snows alot in the winter

[@dwaynejohnson3922]

I was also disappointed with the exhaust on mine, It only sounded good when I put my foot to the floor, but for a 392 it wasn't loud enough so I got a Borla cat back a few months ago and now it sounds like thunder.

[@turboZ3]

Nice cars, i just find them too big for my taste. The mustang on the other hand is more put together imo, except the lack of driver focused interior design, and similar power output.

Passenger seat tilts forward AND slides forward for "easier" access. From an owner...

... ALL '23s are 'LAST CALL' editions (hence, last year), not 'SPECIAL EDITIONS'!

[@Shadowman...]

The fact that its as long as a crown victoria is the problem with these cars~ Dodge needed to shorten the hood by 4 inches. The doors by 2 inches. And the trunk by 3 inches and then they would have had a super awesome visually proportioned vehicle. And that's why I will nevr buy one.

[@terryanthony5323]

Who cares. Plenty of people buy them because they are so big.

[@Shadowman...]

True ~ It's not so much the boaty size i have a problem with as it is the lack of balanced proportions. maybe ill chop one up some day and see how it looks. @@terryanthony5323

Then they would have to lower the roof otherwise it would look ugly as hell.
