People that buy this car DON"T want a V8. Stop trying to compare apples with oranges.

[@baronvonpoonslayerthe3rd73]

Pretty sure the majority of people who hate on v6 chargers have never driven them at all.... I owned a 2010 3.5 v6 and by no means was that car fast and I told myself I'd never get a v6 charger again.... That was untill I went to upgrade and drove a 2021 3.6 gt and let me tell you the difference was night and day! I also drove a 2019 rt the same day from the same lot and honestly the speed difference between the rt and the gt was so minimal I ended up buying the gt. And couldn't be happier. Is it a track racing car, hell no! But if you want something that is some what fuel efficient and has some get up and go you won't be disappointed.... I dont take my car to a track but I am one for racing here and there at red lights and so far this v6 can run down 90% of cars on the road I

@@LastKnight0727 that’s fire man. I miss mine a lot. I ended up leading a Kia SUV. The sustainability is just something I needed for right now. I’m really interested in that straight 6 coming out. After my lease, I might get one of those. If not, I’m gonna try and get a 18-20 scat. I just couldn’t afford another dodge right now. Even tho my Kia costs the same a month between payment and insurance, gas is easily half of what I was paying, and I have less concern of fixes. Even if I leased a new challenger, the payment would’ve been around 600 bc of how bad dodge rates r right now and markups.

I live in a part of the world where we get a lot of snow, and RWD, is not good in that weather, so this is perfect for those climates with the AWD

Iv always been fine with rwd in heavy snowstorms tbh. It’s kinda fun to rev the engine and maneuver if the snows crazy. I once drove up a super snowy hill, and had to jerk left and right and made it LOL.

[@King_Of_Paintsville]

Bought my son a 3.6 liter V6 Charger and It really is a fun car. Feels well built. Because of it being a heavy car it rides well and the 300 HP V6 has plenty of pep.

I beat a scat in short distance lol o your funny you don’t even own a Dodge probable ok 😊

[@donniechaffin6897]

I had the Scat Pack and it obviously has a lot more power, but it's power you can't really use in real-world, daily driving. It had the exact same tires as the GT and looked almost exactly the same. Except for the power, the real difference is the cartoon character logos on the Scat Pack.

Great review! This is the model I would purchase. I'm okay with a V6 and the GT trim appearance and features are nice.

I am pretty happy with my 2019 SXT PLUS AWD b5 Blue :D

[@dano7145]

Good review, Issac. Although the base GT is a terrific value, I find it far less appealing at $50K+. In addition, pairing this Dodge's overt, street-racer styling with the Pentastar V6 does strike me as mildly absurd. Therefore, because I am a fan of Mopar's V6/AWD combination, I would opt for the Chrysler 300 with the same powertrain. Whereas I have probably aged-out of the Charger's retro-racy looks, the 300's classic styling still works for me. Keep up the good work!

[@AlphaShark]

Very thoughtful response, I like it!

[@slumpindabuilding2110]

That's because of markups. The base trim is suppose to be 34k to 36k for the GT with no add ons. Next year there will be no markups since nobody is buying the cars because of the outrageous prices.

[@rikwilkinson1451]

Economy has forces me to swap my rt challenger for a gt charger. I sincerely like it. Its a bit tough to go from hemi to v6 again. But im not suffering

[@rebeccaroach7711]

Ur right, it isn't a Bell cat but in my area, was $15k cheaper up front & $53 cheaper monthly on ins. Plus I don't need the extra horsepower temptation😊 thanks for your review & prayers

[@wolfheadxcii6270]

I have a 22 challenger V6 and honestly I love it. It’s a fun car, it’s great on gas and it gets a lot of compliments. I went with the rear wheel drive just because I wanted that authentic experience even though it doesn’t have the hemi power behind it.

[@byronh60]

Didn’t care for the POV style. I find when people do the POV style, their hands are distracting because they’re waving and gesturing with them too much. I’d rather see the car than their hands. Regarding the Charger, I’d buy it in a hot minute! I prefer V6’s. You didn’t mention the gas mileage advantage, or Dodge’s great V6 reliability record.

[@ronn68]

awesome review Isaac! pov style was good . great job making the review immersive. i do like the standard walk through format though

[@slumpindabuilding2110]

No hate to the the channel owner. You have not done your research. The prices of these models are 50k+ because of markups. The markups have been outrageous this year and there has been a statement made that no mark-ups on these vehicles starting next year. The base trim is suppose to be 34k to 36k for the GT with no add ons. Also, you got add ons on yours which is why it probably was 51k. I know your just reviewing the car but this is just a warning for those who watch your video and see this. Thanks for the review!

[@AlphaShark]

I absolutely have done my research, I review the car at MSRP. I have no way of controlling at what time and where in the country a dealer will or won't mark up a car, so that is why I go by MSRP.

[@stevesmith6236]

My 2023 Charger GT PLUS listed for $43,025 I saved over $5K with Dodge and dealer discounts, Bought my car on Sept 12th . Out the door and down the road, all in I paid $41,244. There were no markups, and the discounted price I paid was advertised, not negotiated.

[@Freddy_Confetti]

“You should’ve got a scat pack” -person who rides the bus

[@LastKnight0727]

the only thing that you can compare between a V8 and V6 that really matters is Price, MPG, and Power. I only care about the first two of those. Paying the extra 10k just to get 50 - 70 more HrPr and some frills, and losing MPG average isn't worth the "bragging rights."

[@forrestiwaszewski4970]

I have a 2020 GT and get better gas mileage than RT. People dont realize that the step up is RT hemi-, and it's good for 345 HP, basically a second faster than GT. Unless im buying a scat pack (which basically is a faster RT) red eye or Hellcat , the v8 RT isn't much different

[@nick-ti5fb]

Totally agree I would take my fully loaded GT over any base RT

[@jonathanvermillion7263]

It does have WAY more torque tho it’s a big difference

[@dwwoodsjr]

The RT isn't even a whole second faster than the GT, according to Dodge's website.

[@heythere6983]

Can’t someone just tune their sxt . This is only 8 horsepower more and a little extra torque. Couldn’t air intake and basic upgrades get you there too

I own a Chrysler 300c Platnium Hemi, but much prefer the Charger Dash and Gear Shifter. My neighbor just bought one of these in White, but the Dealer installed a Gray Bubblebee stripe which is gorgeous. I thought it was a Swinger when he first brought the car home last week. I would have no problem with the 3.6L V6, very quick engine. You are wrong, the V6 has plenty of power and there is nothing wrong with header light assembly.

[@clydemacauley1554]

That's my issue with Dodge and with this particular model: They over-dressed it, it is slower than it looks, 300hp really isn't that impressive on car like this, it deserves to be faster. Dodge didn't even try to make it 3.7 liters like a lot of its competitors cars' have like Infiniti, Ford, Chevy etc.. There is almost not 1 thing this V6 has an advantage on compared to its competitors in terms of performance. Only advantage is this Charger's Pentastar engine's impressive reliability for it's muscle class, it can indeed take a beating.

[@michaelcrockette8694]

the V6 Pentastar is not a bad engine but is prone to rocker arm failure (ticking sound), and or overheating due to water pump or radiator failure.

Bro, if other Christians were anything like you, I would surround myself with Christians. You represent VERY well. All my respect! 👍 The reality is: (aside from yourself) atheists are FAR kinder, more considerate, etc. than 95% of religious folk.

[@AlphaShark]

You’re right, a lot of people who claim to follow Christ are judgmental, angry and do not heed the call of Christ throughout the gospel. Whenever I encounter an atheist or agnostic I completely understand why they don’t like the church. If following Christ meant I had to act like that type of church people, I wouldn’t follow Jesus. But thankfully the reality of a relationship with my Heavenly Father is far from what those people portray. I have dedicated my life to showing people what a relationship with Jesus actually looks like according to scripture, not just what a person calling themselves Christian might say. Cw, I hope you too can accept Christ as your savior, that you can see Him for who he truly is, apart from what Christianity has been portrayed to you as. He loves you more than you could ever imagine, and he absolutely would love a relationship with you. 😊

[@ispeddy4751]

I do not understand why you are comparing it to a V8... compare it to other V6's that are similar. there is no difference from a 2023 GT to a 2023 R/T... It just less cylinders and that's it. You mentioned V8 roughly 100+ times..

[@AlphaShark]

Why can’t I compare it to the bigger brother?

[@raphakijangwa7221]

@@AlphaSharkbecause it was not supposed to be like it’s bigger brother V6 is not bad if you actually step outside nobody cares about the engine cause at the end of the day all that matters is if it’s affordable and was it a good car. Wasting money on a V8 to go to the gas station every single day is not really a good investment in a car

[@marksklizovic5816]

The v6 is what sells numbers don’t lie there is a very good reason for that did you know many police forces don’t buy the V8 especially for cruisers they opt for the 6 not just because of the high fuel prices but because of the maintenance and high purchase prices associated with the v8 option imagine what the sticker price would be on an all wheel drive charger or 300 with the hemi and then imagine the insurance price when you have a new one destroyed after ramming a suspect vehicle into submission or being t boned in an intersection the v8 is a nice option but not always a practical one depending on climate use and economic considerations

[@slimskinny]

I’ll choose a gt over the rt. The rt gives you 70 more horsepower yea, and it’s going to give you that engine sound you’re looking for, and the fanboy respect of at least having a rt. However if you want to avoid all of this, just get a Nissan maxima. Same horsepower. Leather seats and sun roof. Don’t have to worry about fanboys or the thought of I didn’t get the v8.

The fact that’s needed is a turbo charger and cooler intake. The GT can surpass the RT, possibly matching the Scat. Turbochargers are known to add 150+ hp. And it only cost $1,400….. so yeah v8 drivers should STFU

[@stevesmith6236]

With the 300 hp V6 moving this approx. 4100 pound car, it'll do 14.7-14.8 in the 1/4 mile at 93-95 mph trap speed. It tops out an a COMPUTER LIMITED 131 mph. So in response to your comment "it's slow', no, it's actually pretty spirited/spunky bordering on quick. My wife's 2015 AWD Rav 4 with a 173 hp straight four cylinder is slow, but even that is enough as a daily driver.

[@davidinhartford]

The Charger GT is really the same car as an R/T but with AWD and two less cylinders. People buy these because they live up north and need AWD. It's not because we want a V6, it's because they no longer offer AWD with the V8 to civilians. A pity. The HEMI with AWD was a monster. The GT has 8 more horsepower than a base Charger. Not a lot more, but hit the "Sport mode" button and you will feel the difference. Don't blame the buyers. We want the V8 but need AWD. Dodge took that choice away from us. The GTs 300 hp is 70 hp less than the Hemi. And when you're navigating thru snow and ice, maybe that's a good thing. American sedans are an endangered species. The future looks bleak for those of us who like gas engine sedans. EVs are great for those of you who live in moderate climates. My Dodge Rep says that the next generation of Chargers will be all EVs. They "might" offer a gas version with a straight six. Nobody really knows for sure yet.

[@donniechaffin6897]

I drove a Scat Pack for 2.5 years and I'm now driving a GT. The main reason is the true cost to own difference is $362/month, and except for the power and sound (noise?), they are the same cars. The only power difference I notice is the Scat Pack could do a 0-60 pull in 4.2 seconds and the GT takes 6.0 seconds. I'll give up the 1.8 seconds and take the $362/month.

[@heythere6983]

@donniechaffin6897 Tbh couldn’t you just tune an sxt to get a similar and probably stronger performance? The gt is nice but I feel like I might want to get a cheap sxt n upgrade to my taste

Okay so would the V6 get better gas mileage than the V8? If so I would be fine with the V6. Also the format was fine, but I think the other is better. And I don't know if it was just cause you did it different than normal or there just isn't enough room in the back. You was on the opposite side and didn't show the head and leg room. I figured it's probably to snug for most people in the back.

The v6 can handle boost too up to 400hp using the ripp charger, better transmission and so on
