2012 Dodge Challenger consumer reviews

So far I love my Challenger. I now have 3,000 miles and love it. I am a big guy at 6'4" and 350 lbs. I fit comfortably in the car. It also runs amazing. I have not really got into it yet. But what little I have feels great.

I have like all of us muscle car enthusiast memories of that one car that I dreamed some day I would own. For me it was a 1971 Hemi Cuda . When the 392 came out with 470 hp and 470 torque I knew my time was now.

I purchased a 2012 Dodge Challenger SXT plus and absolutely love this vehicle. I have all the features I was looking for in a sport vehicle. I could not live without the u-connect system. The car is all you could want in a muscle car. I have grand children and they love the car. We have had so much fun riding with the sun roof open and playing their music. I also like the amount of space available in the car. All four grand children can ride in comfort. The gas mileage also has been outstanding. Just a great car all around

This car is everything we were asking for. It has the looks and performance we wanted and we just love driving it. The manual transmission is smooth and fluid in shifting and the car is easy to handle. We could not be more pleased with the car.

I bought my first Dodge Challenger in June of 2010 and it was a v6. It was overall a nice car but it definately lacked the power or features that I wanted. So in March of 2012 I sold my previous model and opted for the 2012 RT Plus. This was what i had been waiting for. I finally have that extra power and plus its fully load with everything that i could imagine. The v6 was nice, but there is honestly no way you can call your car a muscle car without having the V8.(Period!!!) So please dont make the same mistake i did, go straight for the HEMI and you wont be disappointed.

.....complete strangers, young and older, stop, admire and compliment me on my Challenger. I had a '69 Charger, also red, and that was a butt-kicking car (I was in college at the time). I am now 56 and will trade this model in for anothe Challenger and then another and then another..... My only question is, will I have the daring to get the manual(I learned on one as a kid but I don't know if I want to be shifting all the time-I will test-drive and let you know).

I have owned muscle cars earlier in my life. I have owned 2 - 1969 Camaros and 1 - 1968 Camaro. I also owned a 1967 Mustang and a 1972 Mustang Mach 1. I admired early model Challengers from a far, but never owned one. The latest edition Challenger is everything I wanted in a muscle car. It has the styling, performance and comfort I was looking for. I wanted an old style (1960-1970s) muscle car but with the new car technology. Cruise control, A/C, etc. I am very happy with this car. Best thing I have bought in a long time. Thank you Dodge!

Comfy, quiet and quick. I've had the car for almost two months now and love it. I commute 110 miles round trip in and out of NYC every day and can't imagine a nicer car to do it in. I mentioned quiet, I'm amazed how quiet the car is on the highway. I wish I had a db meter to prove it! So far the suspension is almost exactly what I was hoping for when I got the car. It has "sporting intent" but is a plush and smooth ride on the highway and is quite forgiving on rough urban and suburban streets. There are some quirks but overall I'm really quite pleased. The new Pentastar V6 is a hoot to drive aggressively and really quite economical if you're nice to it. On straight highway runs I average well over 30mpg and overall, with the commute I mentioned, the car has averaged 24mpg for the first 4500 miiles. It would be nice if the drivers seat bolsters were a bit more supportive or at least adjustable for those of us with a narrow upper body structure. The only thing I have found that really bugs me is having to take my hand off the wheel to do anything with the wipers. I would like to have them operate with a flick of the stalk instead, at least for light rain or mist conditions. I would recommend this car if you are looking for a feature rich car that's a pleasure to be in, looks absolutely awesome and will never leave you feeling underpowered when you really need it.

I own a 2012 Red RT Classic Automatic with dual Black Stripes. I get compliments about its looks wherever I go. People in parking lots stop and stare; kids give me the thumbs up as I drive by. At stop lights, I hear the deep pitched exhaust. I look around looking for a pickup truck only to realize it is the Challenger making the baritone exhaust note. The ride is quiet and smooth. Its drawbacks are the blind spots due to the C pillars and high back end. You need to plan for a U turn and to look carefully before backing up. The V6 is a steal of a deal. For the price of a Honda Civic you can have a Challenger V6 with Auto. If I were 25, the base RT with the stick would be the way to go. No matter the 6 or 8, demand a locking gas cap as part of the deal. The gas cap cover is a chrome plated invitation for some jerk to mess with your fuel system. So for the amount of money you are putting down on this set of wheels, the dealer can at least throw in a locking gas cap. If you buy the cap later, it will cost you $24.75. I own the Challenger, but the Camaro and Mustang are both good, too. It was a hard choice. The Camaro handles the best. The Mustang is cheapest and easiest to drive. The Challenger is the biggest and has the quietest and smoothest ride. All three cars are good choices; I wish I could have one of each. I went with the Challenger, no regrets.

Am very pleased with my 2012 Challenger RT with auto transmission. Dealership could not have been better. Where ever I go people are asking about the car and like it's looks !! Gas mileage is excellent and the performance is great !! I have owned many performance cars over the years and tis is my favorite one !!
