2009 Dodge Challenger User Reviews

What A Muscle Car Should Look, Drive And Feel Like — First let me just say that the Challenger is just simply fun to drive. The power is there when you need/want it and the response, when you hit the gas, is immediate. Surprisingly the Challenger is very quite when the windows and sunroom are closed, although some engine noise is still audible as it should be with a muscle car. While the interior may be simple and plain, all controls and gauges are easy to read and reach. The interior is quite comfortable, although getting into and out of the back seat can be sporty. Once in the back seat, however, it is surprisingly roomy for a muscle car. The truck is very spacious although you will be surprised to find the battery and an air compressor where one would expect to find the spare tire. No spare, mind you, also equals no jack. There is room for a can of fix-a-flat and a tire plug kit as well. As for exterior appearance, well it speaks for itself. The Challenger looks much more like it's 70's era predecessor than both the Mustang and Camaro. This is a problem with this car however. Everyone wants to look and stare at it. You may find yourself unable to proceed from a stop sign because a vehicle is stopped in the middle of the intersection staring at your Challenger. Another hassle is finger and had prints on your windows as people can’t help but look in the windows when it’s parked. Make no mistake this vehicle attracts attention, especially in Hemi Orange. One area that I have found lacking is in the stock air intake. I actually had mine through a code due to a lack of immediate air flow under quick acceleration. This was quickly fixed by replacing the stock air intake with a CAI. The Dodge Challenger looks like the muscle car of old but without the problems that came with their ancestors. Despite being a 2-ton beast the Hemi driven Challenger has plenty of power with a smooth and comfortable ride. The Dodge Challenger is worthy of the attention that it receives everywhere it goes and is simply a pleasure to drive.

Challenger Is Awesome — the car is mostly all around a great car very fast it performed great and it was very easy to modify it was very very easy to clean and very easy to work on. i loved that car. it was awsome

Decent Car For Its Size — It had plenty of power and agility for the large car that it is, and would satisfy some ones need for power with the 6.1L HEMIs. The car wouldn't be a well suited road coarse car and would make a better straight line car. I wasn't able to take the car to its limits but from the driving that was done this car just doesn't have the feel of a car you can put in to hard G cornering and feel as comfortable with as you would with a smaller coupe.

Don't Think About It Just Buy It. — Great car handles very well plenty of power and when driving on the highway still gets 22mpg. Although the build quality isn't perfect in this day you cant expect perect. The car is an amazing car to drive and i love to take it out on cruises.
