What Owners are Saying About the 2006 Dodge Charger

"Hemi is the way to go, Fun to drive"

"The Hemi is worth the extra to buy. Gas mileage isn't much of a difference between V6 & V8, so you will be very happy with it. I had the SXT and it was nice, got attention, but not much power. I upgraded to the Hemi and it was the best decision I made. I am so happy with the Charger R/T and I will not sell this one and I will keep it until it doesn't go anymore. I have to say the car is AWESOME!!!!"

"Amazing car! Reliable, fast, and comfortable!"

"I bought the car new and have never had a single problem with it. The car rides smooth, has comfortable seats, and is very fast. I love listening to music, especially soundtracks, and the speakers are crystal clear and play the bass well. I've never had engine trouble or problems with any part of the car. The trunk is very large, big enough to fit three large suitcases in comfortably. The only thing I wish was better was the plastic parts of the interior. The plastic scratches like all car plastics due and makes it look cheap. This car has been through a lot, however, as it gets driven from Missouri to Floria twice or more a year. It is an amazing car and I would recommend it to anyone who was looking for a sporty, yet comfortable car! Very Reliable and amazing!"

"2006 SRT8 Vintage Muscle"

"This more then any other muscle car I have owned in the last 15yrs takes me back to the hay day of the early 70 muscle cars. The 6.1 liter Hemi naturally aspirated engine is a definite throw back to the Chrysler big blocks. Everything about its style harkens back to old days including it cavernous trunk. Acceleration is jaw dropping."
