    Good to know that they deleted the MDS with the manual transmission. All Hemi's are known for lifter roller failures due to long warm idle times, supposedly the 6.4 has a higher failure percentage than the 5.7. However, since there are more 5.7's on the road with an estimated 5% of failures it does appear like it happens more. I am currently looking at 2015+ SRT8s with manual transmissions even though the 8A is a great transmission. Thank for the video, it was informative and in detail.

    Excellent and thoughtful review. This car has a lot going for it, but often gets unfairly maligned by automotive journalists. I really think this car shouldn't be thought of as a muscle car, but rather as a classic GT in the true sense. The comfortable suspension, roomy interior, and large trunk are all attributes of the classic GT that have largely been forgotten by today's automakers. All of the current testing on the Nurburgring has given us sports and "GT" cars with overly-stiff, punishing suspensions that aren't very suitable for extended, real-world driving.
    With the beautiful re-designed interior of the 2015 Challenger, this car is truly the quintessential American GT and, as such, is very desirable. It looks and sounds great as well. Well done Dodge.

      If you owned one you would know that it is the ONLY modern muscle car on the road. I own one. I've also had a Camaro and driven the mustang. This car is WAY more fun to drive

    Alex, tnx for your reviews. We don't have much cars like this in Europe, so its really important to get a feeling of the car from reviews like these. Tnx for sharing that, providing analysis, details. I appreciate dodge, chrysler, jeep models. Great job, tnx

    Holy shit this thing is huge. Also the review was good but there are def some subtle improvements.

    • @marinoint
      @marinoint 10 років тому +2

      Yeah, I remember when I first saw it in person at the auto show I was quite unpleasantly surprised by the size of this car. I really love the retro American muscle car design, but this is unnecessarily oversize and overweight. I sincerely hope Dodge will soon introduce the next generation of Challenger that's much leaner.

    • @future62
      @future62 10 років тому +2

      The original was a really pretty car. Perfect proportion. This looks horrible. I also hope the next one is leaner but if it's on the same platform it most likely won't be.

      haha!!! that's right when i went to hit "dislike". Not just that he said it, but how he said it made me dislike this vid haha. If you're not a fan of that period you have no business reviewing this car.

    • @henryclark5611
      @henryclark5611 5 років тому +1

      I stopped when he said it’s 2013, not 1973,. Clearly the Challenger from 08-14 was modeled after the 1970 mode year.

  • @MrBrownbear46

    You give very good reviews. Very detailed, Thanks for doing that. I could actually make a decision without going to a showroom....but it's always fun to test drive them and see them up close and personal.

    This is a really good review with much details about this car, thx Alex.
    Does this car have a rear view cam or at least parking sensors? I project to buy a 2012 Challenger (in orange paintshop) for about 40000 Euro this year.

    Why take a car like this on twisty back roads? That is not what this car is designed for. It isn't a Mustang GT350R, it's a Challenger SRT for chrissakes.

  • @RealtimeReviews613

      Perhaps a little, but mostly it is down to the ginormous low-sales-volume engine.

      It's terrible I know, this is one of the oldest videos on the channel and it had some issues so I downloaded it, re-edited what I could and tossed it back up as a fix. I don't think it repaired it to my new standard so I don't think I'll be resurrecting any other oldies.
