Who the hell buys a muscle car and is concerned with MPG and third wheel passengers bitching about getting into the back seat? No one I wanna be around.

[@OddTimeMan]

According to Dodge, Challenger sales have been slowly INCREASING since its debut in 2008! That's unusual in the auto industry. Sales usually DECREASE over the years. This is why Dodge keeps putting-off the discontinuation of the Challenger. It's also why they haven't changed the body styling that much. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

[@themexicansensation2698]

OddTimeMan 5 years later it’s still going strong with the same style. Hoping I can at least get a 2015 sxt by the end of the year. But I’m in highschool so that’s probably not going to happen

[@chrisbaskett808]

If those are the only 2 problems, then you have no problems. Would love to have one.

[@everymandriver]

After much thought, I don't have as big of an issue with the back seat as I did then. Who cares about the back seat anyway? Dave

[@1redrubberball]

Everyman Driver My son is grown and gone so no kids for the back seat. My 2013 Challenger R/T is a 2 seater as far as I'm concerned.

[@GuytheCarGuy]

I own a 2014 and 2015 Mustang. I test drove the 2014 Dodge Challenger R/T several times... because I really do like the look of them a lot. Still, I settled on a Mustang. My two biggest reasons for not opting for the Challenger have to do with power per dollar (Mustang is cheaper, has 50+ more HP and is a lot lighter) and the near unholy levels of body roll the challenger has. Pressing it into a hard turn at speed makes for a near Blue Angels worthy level of body roll. Then, when you snap back straight, the body rolls the opposite direction with a pendulum effect. It does this a few times until finally centering itself. The Challenger is a very comfortable car... but it honestly feels like a Buick with an exhaust pipe upgrade (and new Buicks are even faster than the Challenger). The Camaro SS with the LE1 package and the Mustang GT with the performance package upgrade aren't even in the same class as the Challenger R/T. The Challenger Hellcat is a bit more fun in a straight line... but even that has the same level of sloppy body roll. Great straight line cars... but in turns they're no different than Grandma's Buick.

[@1redrubberball]

Guy Gordon I suppose it has to do with your age, level of experience and expectations. I was a Mustang and Cougar fan for 40 years. I actively hotrodded them and built a really nice engine for one (351-C) I suspect you may desire to push cars further than I do anymore. The very fact that you describe the handling as you do, indicates that the car is not for you and that you overdrove it. Read that as abusing it. My Challenger does not exhibit the body roll you speak of. There's fast (comes down to weight and HP) and then there's fast enough. 0-60 mph in 5.4 sec. is my idea of fast enough. My White 2013 R/T can get me in far more trouble than I'd care to get in, so the SRT-8 or the Hellcat would be less desirable. Forget HP anyway on the street. Torque is what gets you up to speed and my 5.7 L has 400 lb ft. That was the domain of the big block back in the day. I'm glad you found the car that makes you happy. My car reminds me of Kowalski's car in Vanishing Point. It's fun to drive, fills my need for nostalgia and has killer looks! Also, it gets 27 mpg on the highway! In the old days it would have gotten 10.

[@GuytheCarGuy]

I typically want cars that are fun to drive. The Challenger is fun for what it is built for. However, when you look at the cost and compare it to other cars in its class... It comes down to styling because the Challenger is the slowest car in its class, the most expensive in its class and has the worst safety ratings. The hellcat is the fastest in its class for the 2015 model year (but not by much). It is however 20k more expensive than a new Corvette which absolutely outperforms it in every category sans trunk space and rear seat room. That price will be its downfall. As much as I like a classic heavyweight muscle car... I just can't buy one that costs more than its worth (you can buy the same supercharger on the hellcat and put it on a stock RT for under 8k installed). Lastly... You might not notice the body roll... But if you go test drive a Camaro or Mustang... You'll see what I mean. That's what 4600 pounds does.

[@errolbryant8806]

Just purchased one yesterday. Love it

[@grantchristian5845]

me too, but in like 2019

If you want a sedan get a sedan. Love the challenger look, I'm glad they kept it clean and mean.

[@quentinraffensperger1699]

The new 707 HP Hellcat for 2015 looks badass!

Hello! Really great review, about to buy one of these. However I must ask something off topic, where did you find the instrumental version of the song playing at 0.45?

[@PaulBarnes1968]

Awesome review!

[@jimmybones3283]

I just came across one of these. It has 177,000 miles on it and has a rebuilt title for $6,500. I really want to buy it but, what do you think?....🤨

[@motorcityman401]

Those are 20" alloys, NOT 18"s.

[@SolidMustangP51]

My big knock on this car. Its really hard to back up. There is so little visibility and there is no back up camera or sensors.

[@SolidMustangP51]

***** Yes but it should be built in rather than a after market option.

[@SolidMustangP51]

LOL That is true. Ive been in a Diablo. Talk about a wide backside.

[@1redrubberball]

A person that owned muscle cars back in the late '60's - early '70's era isn't necessarily looking for high visibility or backup cameras. Many of us are looking for a repeat performance of the cars we knew and loved then.

[@Tubes12AX7k]

That's true. The Challenger IS a little hard to back up, but if you pull out slowly and use your side mirrors it's not so bad. But it's still a bit better than trying to back up a convertible with the top up.

[@1redrubberball]

Tubes12AX7k A lot of us old days muscle car owners learned to park so as to minimize the need for backing up.

[@mattbrunson4617]

This car is gorgeous!

Great video!

[@azs8884]

1:57 you said 17 inch alloy wheels , are you sure ? Challenger comes with either 18 or 20 inch

[@1redrubberball]

True! My R/T has 18" wheels and the 6 speed manual & 5.7L engine gets 27 mpg, cruising at 70 mph. on the Interstates, while turning 1700 rpm's, in 6th gear. The rearend is a 3.73 limited slip. Cool car in white! Reminds me of Kowalski's car!

[@markg7030]

If it is heavy, then it must be well made. No china crap here!

[@bigdi77]

I feel you my 300s 5.7 is heavy but I love it no china crap here

[@desertfox2020]

"Is it heavy? Then it's expensive, put it back"

[@benanderson89]

Mark G Actually, when a car is heavier, especially one of this size, it actually means it was made out of cheaper materials that weigh far more.

[@markg7030]

If you say so.

[@benanderson89]

Mark G True story. Muscle cars are made almost exclusively out of steel, which is very heavy but cheap. Manufacturers of more premium vehicles use a higher ratio of Aluminium in their construction to make the car lighter.

[@Daddy53751]

Don’t buy one of these unless you LOVE getting recall notices, and love getting treated like crap by your dealership AND dodge corporate! Love the car, but this is ridiculous. Also have a completely different year Durango, same story: RECALL CITY!

[@andypatterson7413]

So true

[@Matt-ge3ix]

You should have gotten the 6.4L V8

[@mo9504]

Had to get this of my chest. I bought my Baby in 2013, had it waiting for me when I came home from Afghanistan, I first sat in her and just took a deep breath, I was in love, I called her my second wife, I drove her home and it was, well, it was sex, dont hate. I sold her two years ago because I am away much. 2 years later it was biggest mistake I ever made. I do not who has her, I think about her almost every day. She was the most beautiful car I ever had. I miss her. I miss my car. I miss her, best car I have ever had. I am 61 years old. I want her back

[@hugosalazar6679]

how can those cars compete if they aren't even on the challengers level 😂

[@toni_7571]

I got a 2013 rt manual transmission, its awsome

I'm in college and I do part-time job. I'm looking to buy brand new car. Civic 2014 or Challenger 2014? And yes fuel efficient is really important for me. I do not actually need high horse power. Since I live in Canada and most roads are at 60 km/h Max. My budget is around 28k grand.

[@stevenvincent6639]

If u have that big a budget, buy an accord.

[@motorcityman401]

Civic or Challenger? Boy that's Apples and Oranges! I get 31MPG on the highway with my 2014 SXT 3.6 V-6 Challenger and it's only 1 Second slower in the quarter mile than the 5.7 Hemi.

[@b.welchh4095]

my dad has the same style on his challenger it is stick shift

[@ristomattikolsi5711]

It's a beautyful muscle no doubt. But what you know, six years later, the new Honda Civic TypeR has more power and bigger wheels.

[@rcastillo3629]

Trust me, those of us in the market for a Challenger are not gonna buy a Honda Civic regardless of its power or bigger wheels. The Challenger has something the Civic will never have: muscle car looks.

[@TheBlackdragon936]

I raced this car a few weeks ago at a stop light in my 2003 E46 M3. My mpg is 17 average so higher than this. I beat this car by 1 car length off the line and increased the gap the further I went. This car is way too heavy and needs more power let alone in the corners.

[@Msleelee9487]

although im looking at one again one i looked at had the battery in the truck didnt care for that and as for back seat riders dont have any. i think once i drive it i'll know.

[@motorcityman401]

The battery in the trunk gives it better weight distribution and saves engine bay space.

[@1redrubberball]

I've had my R/T for 4.4 years and no one has ever been in the back seat.

[@1redrubberball]

The battery is an AGM battery, so no spill or gassing, but better weight distribution.

[@microminiskirt]

I WAS TOO AT ONE POINT. TEST DROVE MUSTANG GT EXCELLENT AND FAST WITH 6 SPD. MANUAL WITH 3.73 REAR END. BUT RIDE IS TOO BUMPY. THE V6 MUSTANG OFFERS A MORE COMFORTABLE RIDE AND IS FINE WITH 6 SPD. MANUAL. SUSPENSION NOT AS BUMPY AS GT MODEL. I DROVE ALL 3 CHALLENGER MODELS AND THE SRT IS STILL THE BEST BY FAR AND MOST COMFORABLE OVER THE MUSTANG GT WITH MORE ROOM INSIDE.

[@MrZodFTW]

Easily the challenger. The Challenger usually goes for only $30,000 with the mustang not much farther behind it, while the Dodge brings good power, while not the best.

[@1redrubberball]

Kyle Bardin My 2013 R/T was $28,600 out the door in late 2012.

[@microminiskirt]

GO WITH CHALLENGER IF YOU WANT MORE ROOM AND A MORE COMFORTABLE RIDE. BUT FORGET THE PERFORMANCE SUSPENSION UNLESS YOU LIKE A HARD RIDE OVER A SOFTER COMFORTABLE RIDE.

[@1redrubberball]

My 2013 Challenger R/T has the 5.7L Hemi, 6 speed manual and 3.73 posi rearend. It is bone stock, no options and just the way I wanted it. The suspension is firm and flat cornering and the performance level is more than adequate to get in more trouble than you want. The comfort is excellent and the car feels like it's doing 55 mph when cruising at 70 on an Interstate hwy. Gas mileage averages 22 in my day to day driving, mostly country roads and I've gotten 26-27 mpg cruising 60-70 mph. Couldn't ask for anymore. I've had Mustangs and Cougars, back in the muscle car era. They were fun but rode like skateboards. The Challenger has independent rear suspension.

[@deathmetal4life]

firestone tyres...-.-

[@KitchenOnTheLeft]

Okay, I've read before that the recommended fuel for the manual challengers is premium (91 or 93 octane) since they don't have the cylinder deactivation that the autos do. If that's true, why is there not a single review that mentions it?

[@motorcityman401]

It's true, I work at a Dodge dealer.

[@1redrubberball]

The on board engine computer will adjust performance to suit the fuel, premium or standard grade. The performance is noticeably higher with premium.
