R/T Life mine got remote start 2018 Challenger Gt

[@claytonsmith7003]

Hate those blindspots! Just got a Challenger and that's probably my biggest complaint. Gotta ask my passengers if I'm clear on the right half the time. Other than that, its number 5 all the way! Nice video

[@andrewabbott2656]

I got the little blindspot mirrors attached on mine, they really come in handy.

[@sukhdeepsingh-lf6cf]

Use mirrors idiot

[@blackice7408]

The reason why the passanger seat isnt powered is so you can easily allow ppl in the back. If it was powered, it would take a long time just to back up. Same with the front. Its not completely powered and they state that they want to mix in some retro que loke manual adjustments while putting in some power in

[@foxusername1]

If Infiniti could figure it out in the g35 coupe, then dodge should be able to do the same. Powered seats in a coupe and they move pretty quick

[@BSMixi]

I got my GT a little over a month ago. I was driving a CR-V before, so I'm LOVING it. Mine came standard with the remote start and, as someone mentioned, the passenger side seat is for easy/quick access to the back seats, but I totally hear you on the blind-spots. I opted for the driver's convenience package, which I recommend, but it's still a massive loss in visibility compared to a lot of other cars/trucks. It's very "forward-facing" car (like a predator, haha) and could use some more "awareness" features, in my opinion. Still, I love the car though. The biggest complaint that I have is the amount of people that ask, "How come you no got the V8?" Meanwhile, I'm in NJ and Winter is coming.

[@RomanDeHonney]

Yes all great points! I love my GT i really dont feel as if im missing from not having the v8 option. I mean how fast can you really drive to and from work? lol Oh and yes indeed winter is coming!!!! - Game of Thrones

[@sickleharvestsleeks]

Hi man, What is the gas consumption in city ?

[@BSMixi]

I don't know if I can answer that. I'm out in the country and have mostly been driving in the countryside, on highways, and in small towns. What I can say is that I'm actually really, really surprised at how "well" it handles fuel consumption. I have a heavy foot and, even considering that, I'm getting between 22.5 to 23.5 mph. I could easily see that being stretched to 24 to 25 if I were to try though. My CR-V is locked to 23.1. Also, because it's hauling an 18.5 gallon tank, all things considered, I only fill up every week and a half or so. It's definitely not a Prius or a Civic, but that's really why I got it in the first place, haha.

[@RomanDeHonney]

@@sickleharvestsleeks I am getting about 16-17 but i drive pretty aggressive and also live amongst and travel giant hills everyday.

[@garasham]

Thankfully I didn't run into that problem of a starter button as Dodge upgraded it on the 2022 model. My top complaint is most certainly the blind spot design and yes, EVERYONE has in fact asked me if they can drive my Challenger, lol.

[@Vintagecommercials69]

I completely agree with you on the dislikes. I have the same car and everyone always asks to drive it. Lol. Nope you can’t drive it.

[@RomanDeHonney]

Yeah its awesome, I'm actually tweaking to drive it in the snow! I'll be doing all types of crap in the snow

[@gregoryaparker]

Here is my assessment of your assessment :p 1. You're right about this blind spots, but I have the collision avoidance in my mirrors. 2. I never noticed anything about the passenger seat comfort, but it surprised me to see that the seat wasn't powered. 3. My remote works perfectly, plus I have the remote start booyah! The range is limited to keep someone from hopping into your car before you have chance to get to it. 4. Once again.. I have the remote start :p 5. You're right about that, but I tell them that even my wife doesn't drive my car...lol. Greetings from Germany... it's time to do some real speed without breaking the law!

[@RomanDeHonney]

Gregory A. Parker Sr. Greetings! I ended up getting a remote start. My range is a lot better now!

[@ristepantekoski2295]

I agree with you totaly BUT ..you need to check those things before you buy it ..

Don’t listen to the haters man. I got a GT as my first car brand new a lil over a year ago and I love it. Sure, it’s not as powerful as the other models, but the get all the looks + you can drive it in the winter 💪🏻

[@RomanDeHonney]

Exactly!

[@Agentricochet13]

John Mcclane really depends what you’re looking for. You’ll get more practicality and luxury features with the challenger, but sportier driving dynamics with the camaro. I personally like the look of the challengers better, but it’s your decision bro 👍🏻 (also, ladies the challenger)

[@ryanbruni1509]

Blind spots I 100% agree, if you read the details on what each package contains you’ll probably find that almost everything you “hate” are things that YOU opted not to get when you bought the car. I have every feature you hate and I couldn’t love this car more. Can’t nickel and dime yourself with a beauty like this.. what’s an extra 1K for none of these problems for years ?

[@midnight_hemi_137]

You must didnt test drive the car before you got it cuz if you did you would've seen the blind spot wasn't that good and you would've seen it didn't have remote start...like that one person said in the comments "you gotta pay for toys"

[@pikecountymugshotsadmin9860]

When trying to lock and unlock any car from key fob from long distance press the fob under your chin near your throat and it will use your head as a signal booster. This is a trick valets use.

[@Nicktheguy24]

The reason the challenger has blind spots is because they want to make it look like the older challenger. Like imagine if the windows on the challenger were bigger. I wonder how that would look..

[@Zigtyr]

Would look like shit, probably!

[@Nicktheguy24]

@@Zigtyr yea 😂

Only 22.3 mph with the shitty Mn winter gas.

[@DarkPaladin1130]

Well, your remote range is shorter, so No one steals your car. If the car senses the remote, then your doors can open, car can be started so on and so forth. As for your remote not working correctly...that just your car. No one I know with Charger or Challenger has that issue at all. Passenger seat has no power for passenger access to back seats. My 2021 Challenger has all kinds of blind spot warning sensors and things. Wasn't an extra charge. I dunno my dude...love your video, just some of those complaints don't pertain to all Challengers. Hot ride...dream car. Enjoy it! 🤜🤛

[@RaPDoGgrupareaRDS]

The worst thing for me, that I absolutely hate it is that if rained and you open your windows, water just falls in the car... they don't make in channels protectors only the ones that you have to glue... I have remote start, passenger seat don't bother me because I always drive. Overall I think is pretty amazing car for daily drive. I would love to own a scat and hellcat but before that i got to own a gas station!😊

[@ericpatrell4776]

The aftermarket remote start systems are much better than the stock remote start. The range on the aftermarket ones are much better than on the stock remote start

[@MrBlackNupe]

Damn he’s extremely nice looking!

[@leom5866]

You get used the blind spot. I feel you on that and didn't need to spend 1g to get the sensor either. I had a 2010 previously so I guess I'm used to it. it feels weird having a back up camera actually ha.

[@triktrak_1451]

Last Monday I started my 2016 SXT from inside a house through a dirty window, around another house, to my car 1.5 blocks away, with the battery that was supplied with my remote 2.5 years ago. So it's not the remote's design. But here's the thing-- twice in that 2.5 years I've had to open the remote and clean what looks like clear oil forming between the battery's surface and the contacts. I can't explain that-- I don't go swimming in mineral oil. But there you have it. Give it a shot.

[@JRStarkey]

I got blind spot monitoring for that reason before my challenger I had a Camaro (nuff said)

Damn, you may need to check into that remote issue.. I get every bit of the 300ft it advertises and was honestly surprised how far the range was.. I even have a detached garage in the apartment I live in and can start my car with the garage down over 100-150ft away. I wouldn’t say its tint because I’m 5% all around
