Love it so far, just needs a new set of better tires.

I have had my Charger for 14 years; I was the first to drive it on the lot, and have loved it ever since. It gets well used ;) I have had no major issues with the car, I have always taken great care of it and done all needed maintenance. The car and engine are die hard, and it never lets me down!! The reported issues on other sites; such as the water pump, steering, starting were not issues I have ever had; the water pump just started to go recently at 318,000. Just an example that taking good care of your car can make a huge difference! Other complaints Ive read are handling, and visibility. I think the people making those comments are just not overly versed in how to properly drive this model of car, it drives and handles amazing!! Especially in the winter; if you have a good set of winters on it, you can go anywhere. And I dont find I have any blind spots, especially if you set all the mirrors just right. Mine has had its day though, trying to find one in decent condition to replace it. Wish Dodge didnt change the exterior shape, I love the look of this model over the new ones; so I wont buy a newer model. Only complaints would be the faux leather; my driver seat and arm rest are badly cracked and split, and you will see that in all of the Chargers this age.

Performance - let the 350 horsepower, 5.7 liter hemi speak for itself, along with the amazing handling that comes with a beefed up steering and suspension. The ride on huge 20" inch rims is amazingly smooth. Cost of ownership - with 16 mpg in the city and 20 on the highway, this is quite nice. =D Appearance - let your jaw hit the floor, because this is one of the most beautiful cars out there Fun factor - no matter what speed you're cruising at, this car is pure fun 100% of the time Build quality - you have to look kinda hard to find flaws.

As stated above, the HEMI power is just smile inducing. The comfort that this car exudes on the roads, whether it be light to light or open highway is amazing. The gadgetry in the cockpit leaves you feeling like James Bond as you cycle radio stations with either the steering wheel controls or the MyGIG touch screen. The heated seats shake off the bitter cold in the winters and the sunroof lets you bask in those sunny summer days. This car turns heads at the grocery stores or whatever other family duties you may encounter, but lets you chuckle when you slam the accelerator and feel the car jump up and go. I have few gripes with this vehicle. Mainly the heaviness and bodyroll, but any visit to performance shop can cure those ailments!

I bought this car with 300 miles on it due to a lot of people wanting to test drive it without intending on buying it. My wife fell in love with it because of it's power and quickness. Before the charger we bought an 03 Impala and it is a V6 so it doesn't have that HEMI power. The charger gets better gas mileage than I expected. I drove it across the country and from California to Wisconsin my total was about $300 for gas. I was expecting the total to be around $500 or greater. We are really happy with our purchase and would recommend this vehicle to anybody who could afford it.
